Michael was raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with one sibling. As a child, Michael aspired to be a contractor like his father. He never thought he would stumble into the real estate industry in a million years, but you can't always predict where or when you'll discover what you're meant to be.
As the years went by, Michael worked his way from cabinet maker to owner of a construction & property management company, never wavering in his resolve to become the best version of himself with each career move.
Michael got into the real estate industry as a property manager years ago. He started by maintaining properties and slowly progressed to helping landlords acquire tenants through word of mouth, then helping negotiate leases, rent rolls, etc. His relationships with the tenants and landlords made him want to become a realtor.
Michael is a people person and loves helping people. What makes Michael different as a realtor is that he has personally built homes from the ground up and renovated many residential and commercial properties. He is intimately familiar with the processes involved in building and renovating a property, such as dealing with building codes, violation removal, hiring subcontractors, sourcing materials, etc.
This expertise helps him guide his clients and empower their decisions. Michael feels real estate is not a one-size-fits-all; every person and situation is unique, and he treats them as such.
There is more to advertising than merely putting up a for-sale sign that sells a house. Being a business owner has honed Michael's organizational, organizational, and leadership skills. Meeting with sellers, pre-qualifying prospective buyers, setting up open houses, arranging home inspections, dealing with appraisals, and making and receiving countless calls & emails are all part of a day's work. Michael lives in Queens, Brooklyn, and will always be his heart. He is the proud father of two great boys and stepfather to a terrific girl. Family life is vital to him. Michael is also a pet owner and a massive supporter of animal rescue groups. Doing right by people and animals drives him. Michael is an active member of his community, a supporter of local businesses, and a volunteer/supporter of various charities.
Michael's philosophy is that "it costs nothing to be a decent human being." Whether you are looking to Sell your home, Buy a home, Rent an apartment, or perhaps look for a tenant for your property, Michael aims to provide his clients with the highest level of service and takes great pride in helping them achieve their real estate goals.
