ABOUT

Michael began his career in commercial real estate in 1992 when he was given the opportunity to run the operations of NY’s first industry wide commercial real estate information system. Two years after joining he helped sell the company to CoStar. Michael remained at CoStar for 2 years after the sale working for Andrew Florance, focusing on regional and national expansion. Michael joined GVA Williams as their Executive Managing Director of Brokerage Services in 1996 where he was charged with running the day to day operations of the brokerage division of the company, reporting directly to their CEO.
