About Michael Graves

Michael and his team handled everything on the sale of our apartment from start to finish perfectly. From pre-listing, to marketing strategy, to a very smoothly orchestrated negotiation and closing, every detail was executed with professionalism and expertise. Their pricing assessment was ten percent (!) higher than other top brokers, and they got it! We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone!

Michael is one of the most productive and accomplished brokers that I know. Michael sold my apartment for sixteen million dollars in an off-market deal for a record price in a period of one week. He represented both sides of the transaction and was part of the process every step of the way. Michael’s calm and professional demeanor was an important resource for all parties and he deserves your full consideration for any residential real estate assignment you might be considering.

Michael is the most persuasive broker I've ever met. When it comes to negotiating a deal, he's beyond comparison. He's without a doubt the best broker I've dealt with ever.

Michael has represented my husband and me not only in the sale and listing of one apartment, but also in the negotiation and purchase of a subsequent apartment in New York. In each instance Michael exhibited superior effort and consummate professionalism. He was innovative in our listing and showings and he provided great counsel and due diligence in negotiation and purchase of our new apartment. Michael is a dedicated professional and exhibits the highest degree of competence, integrity, humility and grace. He has an easy charm, a splendid wit and a casual confidence that separates himself from others in the insensely competitive world of New York ...

The Graves team kept their word and exceeded our expectations, ultimately selling our project for millions more than other top broker agents had projected. Measur...
