Michael Tavernise

I interviewed Michael Tavernise, as well as agents from two other companies, in April 2021. In July 2022, when my wife and I were finished taking turns getting cold feet about selling our home, we called Michael. He explained his suggested pricing of our house, and outlined the steps we should take (mainly de-cluttering) and not take (cosmetic repairs) before our house could be shown. The house was finally ready to be photographed the last week of August 2022. Michael worked with the photographer, moving furniture around to show our house to its best advantage. After two days of private viewings and a weekend open house, we had twenty offers at or above the asking price. Michael carefully vetted the potential buyers, and we accepted an offer 12% above our asking price. Inspection was a few days later, and our closing went smoothly just two months after the house was first shown. I attribute the painlessness of our house selling to Michael's dedication to his clients, and his attention to detail. We probably weren't the easiest clients to have-among other things we were first time sellers-but Michael consistently showed compassion and grace. I can unequivocally recommend Michael Tavernise as a sellers' agent.

My husband and I were so thankful to work with Mike during our home search. We started our home search in February of 2022 and after a few months of searching we closed on our perfect home in August. Mike was patient, honest, and always eager to show us homes just as they hit the market to ensure we were one of the first to see it. I also preferred not to go to open houses as I felt discouraged by the competition so Mike made it a point to make sure we had private viewings of homes we loved. Although the market is crazy right now, Mike always made us feel comfortable and confident in our decisions, and gave us expect advice on the neighborhoods we were looking. Mike was always available whenever we needed and always accommodated both Mine and my husbands schedules, even if that meant he spent every weekend with us for the last few months :) We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to begin their home search, you will not be disappointed!

Mike was absolutely fantastic to work with through this whole househunting process! He was knowledgeable and accommodating regardless of the situation! Mike always stayed positive and honest with us when seeing each house that we came across on the market. He did not pressure us into anything and always made us feel comfortable with our decisions. I would highly recommend Mike to help you on your search for your new home! Thank you so much Mike for helping us find a house to make at home- we couldn?t be happier! :)

Michael helped us tremendously when selling our much loved home. He was straight forward and understood the emotions we were feeling. There was humor and calmness throughout the ups and downs of offers and he was always communicating with us no matter day or time. In a short time Michael found the perfect family to love and take care of our home as we did. Thank you Michael

Michael Tavernise did an excellent job helping us find our first home. Michael helped us navigate the chaotic COVID pandemic real estate market, including by identifying properties that were a good fit for us, researching them, and moving on them quickly. Michael would always take our calls and texts and was in constant communication about our home search. After just a couple of showings, Michael seemed to know what we wanted in a home better than we did. I recommend Michael to anyone looking for a new home on Long Island.
