Testimonials

★★★★★
Mike Davis helped me sell my building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He got me the price I wanted and guided me through the process of selling. He is knowledgeable, patient, and always available. Thanks, Mike! 
- CHEYNEY THOMPSON

★★★★★
Mike Davis sold my Brooklyn Heights Coop in record time -- for 23% *ABOVE* the asking price. Mike and his advised us on minor staging tips for our home and laid out a strategy. It all worked to create a bidding war and drove up our price. Mike secured the best possible deal and we closed on a timeline that worked for us and our wonderful new buyer. Mike is amazing and truly knowd the NY City market. #LOVE 
- JULIA KING

★★★★★
Mike Davis has been my family's loyal and expert broker for years. Mike literally saved us more than $1,000,000 on property purchases since 2020. He moves at the speed of light and makes the impossible possible.
- LISA BORAL

★★★★★
As first-time homeowners, we were looking for a lot of guidance and he provided just that - clear and thorough market data and a lot of direction. Together we landed on an incredible property with beautiful views in our ideal location. Michael’s deep knowledge of Williamsburg allowed us to truly envision how this investment could play out in the future. He is patient and thorough - everything from financing to inspection to closing was facilitated with the help of his long-standing relationships within the real estate world. We recommend Michael to anyone interested in purchasing a home.
- PAULA & MATTHEW SCHOPFER

★★★★★
Michael K Davis knows Williamsburg and Greenpoint like only someone that has lived there for years can. He has helped me navigate the complicated world that is real estate in NYC to help me find a reasonably priced townhouse. I would recommend him to anyone.
- STU KABAKOFF

★★★★★
I am a landlord and use Michael to list and rent the Garden Duplex in my building. Because of his marketing savvy, my property has been written up in major NYC newspapers and blogs. Michael has a special way of creating a buzz about his property listings. I could not ask for a more professional broker to represent my best interests as a property owner. I will continue to recommend his services to fellow Landlords, friends, and associates in the market.
- MARTIN HOFFMAN

★★★★★
As longtime renters and first-time buyers, we were apprehensive about the entire process of buying a home in NYC, and if that was even possible for us. Mike made the process smooth, easy, and enjoyable to boot. We encourage anyone currently on the market, or even considering a purchase, to connect with this amazing team!
