A Long Island native and graduate of Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb School of Business, Michael brings a strong foundation in business, finance, and negotiation to every client relationship. Over the years, he has built an extensive network of professional relationships and resources that further strengthen the service he provides.
Michael’s real estate journey reached new heights when he co-founded The Pesce & Lanzillotta Team alongside his longtime business partner, Ron Lanzillotta. Together, they built one of Long Island’s leading sales teams, achieving over $1 billion in total sales volume, more than 1,000 homes sold, and recognition in The Real Trends Top 1000 and America’s Best Real Estate Professionals. Today, the team is proudly ranked among the Top 5 Producing Teams in the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Network.
When he's not serving clients, Michael enjoys skiing and snowboarding in the winter, boating in the summer, and spending time with his wife and four children exploring NYC, the Hamptons, and Montauk, as well as at their family home upstate in the countryside.
