It couldn't have happened anywhere but in little old New York.

Michael Bergman

Contrary to what we see on BravoTV, apartment hunting in NYC is not all glitz and glam. No, it's normally a gritty, tiring, and confusing process that often times spoils the end result - a new home! I get it. And, as a city-dweller myself, I totally empathize which is why I work tirelessly to make the apartment hunt as pain-free as possible. For me, this is a "people job" and while I fancy myself a pretty good realtor, I'm an even better person. I'm here to help and can't wait to celebrate with a bottle of champagne!

Residential Leasing

After years of underwriting multifamily properties and consulting for the NYC Department of Housing, I know that rentals are the nuts and bolts of this business. Now, the Pandemic has changed how and why people live in New York, and it is essential to understand the needs of both tenant and landlord to make for a happy transaction. With exceptional customer service and a deep network of industry leaders, I bring an edge to the apartment hunt that the common renter does not have. I will handle an apartment search search top-down, ideally, only having my clients lift a finger when it's time to sign a lease.

Home Buying

Perhaps the most tedious mission to embark on in NYC, home-buying, whether that be for the first time or for the sake of investment, is a long road filled with potholes. It is essential to have a strong team surrounding you, captained by an unwavering agent that knows the process. For most, this will be the biggest decision they've ever made, which is why my service is threefold - I am a tour guide, a business partner, and a spiritual guru. We want a good deal and a happy home. My job is to provide both.

Home Sales

When it's time to make a change, careful consideration is of utmost importance. Taxes, transfer fees, and interest rates, the financial ramifications on the line when selling can not be understated, which is why having an agent that is fully informed on what to expect is paramount. I pride myself on my due diligence, problem-solving before issues arise, and delivering complete information to move forward properly. I know how hard this time is for most people - bitter sweet! Which is why I pride myself on finding the best outcomes possible.

  • “After touring and making offers for the better part of 3-months with nothing to show, we were introduced to Michael via a friend who closed on a Co-Op with him.
