Mihal Gartenberg

Mihal Gartenberg focuses on making her clients’ real estate experiences as painless and seamless as possible.  Her repeat clients and their referrals keep her busy, making up over 90% of her business.  She believes in offering every client the luxurious experience they deserve, regardless of price point, from a walkup studio apartment to Irving Berlin’s luxurious duplex overlooking the East River.

It, therefore, comes as no surprise that institutions including Fortune 500 companies, an Ivy League School, and various real estate companies have invited her to speak to their colleagues and clients on real estate matters. Moreover, national and international news media and industry papers, including among others, The Real Deal, Inman, WSJ, Financial Times, NYTimes, Crain’s, Forbes, and US News & World Report consistently quote Mihal as an expert in her field. 

Mihal has a love for, and understanding of, data analytics and an active (rather than passive) marketing strategy.  Moreover, she believes in balancing traditional marketing with cutting edge technology and has worked as a beta tester for real estate software companies, a pastime that not only benefits her buyers, sellers, investors, and colleagues but also aids tech VCs who ask her opinion on the latest real estate tech businesses.  Much like the Christie’s brand, Mihal’s data-driven, analytical nature married with her artistic sensibilities and creative partnerships, help her position her sellers’ homes to their best advantage.  Together, they provide unique value-adds to clients, including strong relationships with top-tier, luxury real estate photographers and videographers; a creative PR team working in-house; and a keen understanding of social media advertising.

Mihal makes a point to determine her buyers’ aesthetic personalities, that intangible quality that turns a house into a home, as quickly as possible. This tactic narrows home tours considerably. On average, her buyers view less than a dozen properties before purchasing, allowing them to save their emotional energy for their day-to-day lives.  She also holds a very rare 100% success rate in co-op board package and application approvals in NYC’s famously challenging market.  Mihal’s focus is on helping clients purchase the home to realize their dreams – a home in which they can settle and grow into the individuals and family they wish to be, while protecting their financial investment. 

Consistently achieving this goal has served her clients well and has proven to them that she will go above and beyond what is expected. Proving this point, several years ago, they began asking her to help them not only in NYC but also to expand her practice to its suburbs in Westchester (NY) and Fairfield (CT) counties and beyond.  While the suburbs can offer a different pace of living, Mihal believes that the New York City state of mind in business, grace, sophistication, and keen attention to detail out in the suburbs serves her clients best.  And it shows.

With so many happy clients, Mihal has built her business on referrals and repeat customers, and she is ready for you – to broker your dreams.
