properties. A nationally recognized broker and auctioneer, Michael is known for representing rare, architecturally significant, and storied estates that require a highly strategic and customized approach.

York and beyond. His expertise spans historic mansions, waterfront estates, vineyards, equestrian properties, private lakes, and other lifestyle-driven assets that fall outside traditional real estate models.

Michael’s marketing philosophy is rooted in the belief that extraordinary properties should be custom-marketed, not simply listed.
