About Michael

With a fervent passion for real estate and an unwavering commitment to exceptional service, I am Michael Bonavita, an Associate Real Estate Broker dedicated to helping clients achieve their real estate dreams. With over 35 years of industry experience, I bring a profound wealth of knowledge and expertise to every transaction. Professional Background: My journey in real estate commenced almost four decades ago when I decided to follow in my parents' footsteps. My father began his career as a very successful leasing agent in Manhattan. My mother, who also had a passion for real estate, became a very successful agent on the North Shore of Long Island. I obtained my real estate salesperson's license at the age of 20 and subsequently secured my Broker's License at 21, embarking on a journey that has encompassed managing an office for one of the largest brokerage firms on Long Island, to owning my own brokerage for 25 years. Additionally, I proudly served for 11 years as a member of the Board of Directors for the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island. Each experience has fortified my expertise, enabling me to assist all clients and customers with confidence in every aspect of the business. Throughout my career, I have masterfully negotiated countless deals, facilitating clients in buying, selling, and investing in properties across Long Island. Whether guiding first-time homebuyers through their initial purchase, helping others to make the transition to their next dream home, or aiding seasoned investors in uncovering lucrative opportunities, I am steadfastly committed to achieving optimal results for all my clients. Areas of Expertise: I have decades of experience with residential sales; from cozy starter homes to sprawling estates, I have gained a wealth of knowledge from representing buyers and sellers across a diverse range of residential properties. I have also completed numerous commercial real estate transactions. I can assist clients with leasing, purchasing, and selling commercial properties such as office spaces, retail storefronts, and industrial warehouses. If you are looking for investment properties, I can assist with that too! I specialize in identifying investment opportunities and guiding clients through the intricacies of real estate investing, whether it's flipping properties, rental income, or commercial ventures. Luxury Real Estate is also something I am well versed in. I have positioned countless properties at the proper place in the market with pinpoint accuracy. They are showcased with detailed individualized market plans and introduced to buyers focused on their specific amenities and features. For clients seeking the epitome of luxury living, I offer personalized service and access to exclusive properties in prestigious neighborhoods because of the relationship of our Coldwell Banker American Homes Family and our broad networking approach. Client-Centric Approach: I firmly believe that open communication, integrity, and attention to detail are indispensable in real estate transactions. My foremost goal is not merely to meet but to exceed the expectations of my clients, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience from inception to completion. Whether you are buying, selling, or investing, I am unwaveringly dedicated to delivering unparalleled service tailored to your unique needs and aspirations. Community Involvement: Beyond real estate, I am deeply committed to giving back to the community. I have actively participated in supporting educational programs aimed at raising awareness about animal care and wellbeing, working alongside my daughter, Victoria, who has been recognized by New York State as an Ambassador for Pets and Wildlife for her exemplary work in this field. I frequently work with elected officials and celebrities to help Victoria with her educational programs. Her tireless work as an ambassador, educator, and journalist has helped bring awareness to the needs of animals by educating hundreds of thousands of people. As a proud member of my local parish, I support initiatives such as the food pantry and collections for the less fortunate.
