Michael Morgenfruh

Michael Morgenfruh brings over 25 years of experience in residential and commercial real estate to Sotheby’s International Realty, with a background that uniquely bridges real estate, architecture, and New York City government.

Before transitioning fully into brokerage, Michael served as a city government liaison within the site development team of a leading Manhattan-based architecture firm. Working closely with high-profile clients, he developed an in-depth understanding of the Department of Buildings, Department of City Planning, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, and other key regulatory agencies - knowledge that continues to be a powerful asset for his buyers and sellers today.

Michael has extensive experience in sales, investments, and property management across New York, New Jersey, and California, with a focus on condominiums, cooperatives, and townhomes. Known for his detail-oriented, strategic approach, he helps clients navigate complex transactions with clarity and confidence.

A lifetime resident of the New York City area, Michael splits his time between Manhattan and the Catskill Mountains, offering clients both deep urban expertise and a nuanced understanding of second-home and lifestyle-driven markets.
