Lewis "Michael" Levinson

I joined the Maplewood office of Coldwell Banker Realty due to the culture of the company, character of the management, and the approach to buyers/sellers is one with ethics and honesty. I have always strived to earn the trust of people I have worked with and advised over the years. It is important to me that the people and culture of the real estate firm I represent have integrity and share my values.

Added value to bring to your table-- my attributes expertise-

- Market Specialist for the Maplewood, South Orange, West Orange, Livingston, and Millburn/Short Hills area – By having been a resident in this area for 30+ years, in conjunction with keeping up with the housing marketplace, I can advise/guide you with knowledge and provide worthwhile information. The more informed you are, the better decisions you will be able to make.

- Detailed and Thorough – I am a believer in process, checklists, and follow-through regardless of whether you are selling or buying real estate as every detail counts and every question you have is important. For the buyer, based on your needs/preferences, all the potential properties are discussed and I will then help you in selecting your next residence that gives you the home you had hoped for at the least cost to you. For those selling their home, I will help you to determine the selling price by giving you housing reports on your neighborhood + information including trends in today’s market for your town for you to determine the selling price.

- Negotiating expertise – Over the years I have been successful in taking out the emotion and substituting rationality into negotiations to enable closure with everyone feeling they did well.

- Downsizing Specialist -- My wife and I have personally downsized; I have advised family and friends to reduce the time + expense of maintaining their current home.

- Renovation/Remodeling Expertise – For the buyer I see the property’s potential, am creative, and have the practical renovation experience can help you make it happen within your budget and timeframe. My value is to open your eyes to the potential and how to renovate to make that house a home. For those of you selling, I will advise on the home improvements and expert staging to be done to present your home in an optimal light.

- Let’s enjoy the journey – Everyone has unique needs/wants, I make every effort to make the buying or selling journey as enjoyable a process as possible by making the experience as hassle and stress free as possible. I will be with you every step of the way.

I care about people and believe listening is key to having a successful outcome for you. I believe in being forthright and direct-- I will tell you what they need to hear versus you may want to hear. Please feel free to call, text, or email me to discuss your real estate plans. Your consideration is appreciated and regardless if you engage me or another Realtor, I wish you the best in the next step you take in real estate.
