" Working with Michael was such a wonderful experience. As someone who came into the home buying process with zero experience and very little information, he immediately put me at ease. He's so warm, friendly, and truly wants the best for everyone he works with.

Upon our first conversation, he was a great listener and immediately understood what I needed. Very quickly, Michael put together some tours of potential options.

"We have been working with Michael Bhagwandin for NYC investment condo since spring of 2019. Michael demonstrated exceptional market knowledge and an intuitive sense of his client tastes and preferences. He found us the right apartments that met our criteria and over a period of a few weekshelped us with the right real estate lawyer, insurance broker managed the board review process andwithin two months. He was very open, transparent, and kept us apprised every step of the way. All parties were mutually satisfied. We closed swiftly. Michael was always available to answer questions. He is extremely honest, upfront, and very communicative. Michael found the right tenant within a month and navigated the entire process with the building management. Then covid came. Our tenant considered leaving NYC, Michael intervened, and we managed to keep the tenant while offering some mutually amenable modification for the tenant to remain in the unit. We are now embarking on a new tenant nearly post pandemic and within a month have secured another exceptional tenant as we turn the corner out of the pandemic. Thank you, Michael. We will continue to work with Michael as we expand our interest into another apartment in NYC." - Andy K.

"Very positive experience working with Michael - despite the struggles of renting an apartment during the peak of the COVID NYC shutdown, he managed to get it done! He hustled to first improve the listing of my unit, and then to ensure that we had a steady stream of prospects viewing the apartment.

After failing to rent it myself for several months, super happy I connected with Michael and was able to get it rented in less than a month!" - Jeff

His local knowledge of different lower Manhattan neighborhoods and condo boards was particularly helpful, as we had never purchased real estate in NYC before." - Mina
"After two months of failed attempts to rent my 1 bedroom on my own during the COVID market difficulties I decided to hire Micheal to help me. Long story short, he succeeded, and I was happy with the overall experience. He was providing insight and updates at every step. Particularly useful were the insights about the ever evolving market he was able to gather from the feedback of prospective tenants, who were simultaneously shopping around. This led us to review the rental approach, and ultimately rent the apartment. I found Michael to be a proactive, dynamic and engaging agent and a great overall guy to boot." - Gregor

He held our hand and guided us the whole way. The final offer we got was in large part due to Michael's expertise. I will work with him again when we decide to move forward on buying another apartment. Meanwhile he keeps tempting me with new options!! " - Randy F
"First, my wife and I can not say enough good things about Michael. I know that sounds too good to be true, however it's more than true. From the first time we interacted with Michael, a year prior to really pursuing our search for our first home, he was engaged, responsive, professional, and observant. All qualities we wanted in a broker, he had, and then some. Once we started really pursuing, he was relentless and allowed us to be creative versus just pushing us in a direction....which eventually got us to where he thought we would end up. Going through the experience of purchasing a new home (again first time) with Michael was priceless. It left us with the knowledge needed to make a purchase again, and of course, Michael would be right there with us! " - Marissa & Nick
