He is on track to have yet another stellar year with $50M in sales. A skilled listener and negotiator with a flair for what he does, Michael specializes in sales and rentals in all Manhattan neighborhoods.

Michael understands how life-changing and stressful buying, selling, or renting a home can be, which is why he goes above and beyond for his clients in every aspect of the process to ensure that the decision is easy and stress is minimized. He makes a point to remember the little things about a client, from their kids' names, to birthdays and anniversaries, because to him, relationships will continue long after deals are closed. "I treat your real estate needs with the ultimate level of care and attention, as if it were my own home. Quality service is always number one. I'll work tirelessly on your behalf to protect your best interest and deliver results you're thrilled with."
