Michael was by far the best realtor we connected with on Zillow. Michael brought a human factor to the search of our home; he was very professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and responsive throughout the whole process. We started looking in March and closed in September, we really appreciated Michael’s ability to lay down a timeline for us, help us (1st time homebuyers) as much as he can, and overall be a breath of fresh air amongst other agents and in an impersonal market. Would 100% recommend Michael to everyone I know. If you’re looking, contact Michael to make your experience a good one!!

Mike helped us sell our co-op and purchase a condo in Harlem. We had a positive experience and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone seeking to sell or purchase a home. Mike is incredibly knowledgeable. He understands the NYC market and did extensive research on the financials of the individual buildings we considered when purchasing. His background in finance gives him an edge in understanding and explaining the economics of homeownership in NYC. He's also quite personable and honest. We never felt pressured to rush into decisions, and he was available to answer all of our questions. When he and his real-estate partner Katherine helped us ...

Michael helped us find our new home by listening to all our needs, being proactive, and providing great advice. He availed himself to us through the entire process (home visits, application, board interview), and was always on top of status updates and ensuring transparency. He went above and beyond to support us in our first home purchase, always making us feel like a priority. We are so excited to be first-time homeowners, and we are so grateful to Michael for making that happen.

I highly recommend Mike. I credit him with finding the Harlem apartment we were looking for. He was a patient, diligent, and attentive guide for us. He never stopped working for us, and even when we reached a handshake deal on a new condo he knew we weren't completely satisfied with he kept looking, and found us the perfect home. On the details, I love spreadsheets, and he was game for that. And on top of all that, a really good guy.
