About Michael

Business Philosophy Having lived and worked in Monmouth, Middlesex, and Ocean Counties (Holmdel, Hazlet, Manalapan, Belmar, Beachwood, Monroe, Freehold, and Lakewood) for the last 40+ years. Having purchased, sold and rented many different properties has given me a Buyer's, Seller's and Renter's understanding and perspective that can be used to assist, advise, and to help you through your transaction. This experience which can often be difficult, intimidating, and seemingly quite complex, can become an easier transaction with expertise, patience and experience. I fully can appreciate the anxiety created by what may be your largest single purchase or sale and will work for my clients to ease and work through the problems and issues that can arise. Please feel free to call upon my expertise in making your transition and move an easier process. I have worked with and listed many Foreclosed Bank Owned Properties as well as with Short Sales and can help you get through that type of transaction with the least amount of stress and problems.
