Real estate is one of the most significant financial decisions most people will ever make. My goal is simple: to make the process feel organized, seamless, and as stress-free as possible so my clients can continue living their lives while I handle the details.
I specialize in representing sellers, buyers, investors, and builders throughout Northern New Jersey, with a particular focus on Emerson and the surrounding Bergen County communities. Whether marketing a home, identifying an off-market opportunity, or advising on a redevelopment project, I approach every transaction with careful planning, market knowledge, and strong negotiation.
Emerson isn't just a community I work in—it's where my family lives. My children attend school here, I coach youth basketball in town, and I have built my business by investing in the community I proudly call home. That local involvement allows me to provide clients with market insight that goes beyond comparable sales and online estimates.
Before entering real estate full-time, I spent my career in the financial industry managing operations for a global hedge fund overseeing more than $12 billion in assets. Working with teams across New York, California, London, and Hong Kong taught me the importance of communication, attention to detail, and disciplined execution. Those same principles now guide every real estate transaction I manage.
My transition into real estate began in 2009 after my family purchased its first investment property. Managing the leasing and operations of those properties sparked a passion that eventually led me to pursue real estate as a full-time career.
Today, I hold the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation, the Million Dollar Guild recognition from The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing, the Senior Real Estate Specialist designation, and have been recognized as a Repeat Circle of Excellence Award recipient.
Whether you're considering selling your home, purchasing your next property, investing, or simply looking for honest advice about today's market, I'd welcome the opportunity to help.
Testimonials
"I have had a great experience working with Mike. He was flexible in his approach. He sent me listings within my price range and was willing to work with my schedule. When I wanted to take a break from looking at homes, he was not pushy and let me be. He periodically checked with me to see if I was ready to get back into the market and when I was, he readily showed me properties. I was a picky and he understood that I would be staying in the property and that I needed to be happy with it. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend Mike to family and friends."

As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
