Michele Franco Perez

What could be more theatrical than real estate? After all, you “show” an apartment and “sing” its praises. At the end of the transaction you even have a “closing!” With Michele’s love of theater, and as a former singer and actress, it was a natural transition over 25 years ago.

As Michele always says, New York is a show in itself, full of excitement and theatricality and certainly never boring. You step outside and there’s always something happening.

Michele’s real estate experience has spanned the entire island of Manhattan. No transaction is too small, too large or too complicated, she has experienced them all. Recognized as a true “people person,” one of Michele’s favorite aspects of selling New York is meeting people from all walks of life. She develops a relationship of confidence and trust with each client, allowing the client's needs and desires to dictate the relationship, advising them to "trust your instincts," when choosing a home, even if it's a temporary one.

Always at the top of the real estate game, Michele was named among REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents.

Michele was born in Brooklyn, though didn’t live there until 29 years later when she did a 2 year stint in Park Slope. She grew up on Long Island and moved to Miami at age 15. She has lived on the Upper West Side and has been “In the Heights” (another theater reference) for over 20 years.

She graduated with a BFA in theater from the University of Miami and sang with the Miami Opera before attending the famed Juilliard School majoring in opera performance. She is the proud mom of a Tufts University graduate who attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School on the Upper East Side and understands the needs of families attending public school in New York City.

As one of her past clients said, “Michele Perez was our agent and we can tell you that she handled every aspect of our sale with professionalism, knowledge, and great sensitivity. Hire her for your real estate transaction and you will have an outstanding experience.”
