Michael E. Feldman

Astute, determined and knowledgeable, New York City real estate expert Michael Feldman serves buyers, sellers and investors fueled by his desire to create real value with tangible results. Whether that's by repurposing an asset or updaDng it through renovaDons and smart, efficient upgrades, clients can rely on Michael to listen to their prioriDes and build an ideal plan to reach their goals. He's always armed with a Plan B to address any unforeseen challenges, and clients repeatedly commend his total professionalism and 24/7 accessibility. His strategic, value-driven approach has led to more than $80 million worth of real estate bought, sold, brokered and marketed, plus extensive property management experience and over 1.3 million square feet of commercial real estate transacDons. Michael's interest in real estate was first piqued during the banking crisis of the 1980s and 90s. While others shied away from the pressure on residenDal and commercial real estate values, he took to heart Warren Buffet's advice to be "fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful." It's a bold mindset that has fueled his success since he entered the profession. Before real estate, Michael honed his business and financial acumen on Wall Street. He began at Deutsche Bank as a consultant prior to joining the Equity DerivaDves Business. With a first to arrive/last to leave mentality and consistent posiDve results, Michael progressed through the firm's ranks to become the head of Contract Risk of Equity DerivaDves in New York. He credits the experience for his savvy understanding of real estate analyDcs and his intuiDve feel for undervalued assets — invesDng with a skewed risk profile to the upside. A Brooklyn naDve and lifelong New York City resident, Michael graduated magna cum laude from Binghamton University with a bachelor's degree in financial economics. He also earned an MBA with disDncDon from the Mario Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University and obtained cerDficates in commercial and residenDal property management from NYU's School of Professional Studies. When he's not hard at work with clients, Michael enjoys tennis, skiing, squash, volleyball, travel and, most of all, being a father of two gentlemen and scholars. With Michael, clients can count on a studied approach to real estate that wisely couples technology and creaDvity to enhance returns.
