Meet Milton

With 25+ years in NYC real estate and over 1,000 successful transactions, I know exactly what it takes to sell your property for top dollar.

My specialty is Upper Manhattan - Washington Heights, Inwood, Hudson Heights, and Harlem - but I've successfully sold properties across all five boroughs and the Hudson Valley.

I combine data-driven pricing with professional marketing and fierce negotiation skills. My goal isn't just to sell your home - it's to maximize your profit.

Milton's Seller Insight

"The #1 mistake sellers make is overpricing. Properties that sit on the market lose momentum and ultimately sell for less. I use comprehensive comp analysis to price your home to attract multiple offers and create urgency - that's how we maximize your net proceeds."

The #1 Factor

Strategic Pricing

The right price attracts buyers. The wrong price costs you money.

Overpriced

  • Fewer showings
  • Gets "stale" on market
  • Price cuts signal desperation
  • Sells for less in the end

Priced Right

  • Maximum buyer interest
  • Creates urgency & competition
  • May get multiple offers
  • Sells at or above asking

Underpriced

  • Lots of showings
  • Quick sale
  • Leaving money on table
  • May not get bidding war

My Approach

I analyze 20+ recent comparable sales, consider active competition, factor in your property's unique features, and price to generate maximum interest in the first 2 weeks - when buyer attention is highest. Not a Zestimate. Real analysis.

What Sellers Say
