Michael Lockley has closed over 200 deals since 2007: rentals from studio apartments to townhouses to office space; sales from co-op/condo apartments to townhouses to tenement buildings to vacant lots. Michael has worked with great success for buyers, sellers, landlord, and renters.
As an owner and investor, Michael understands the prominent position real estate has in the wealth and prosperity of owners. He works tenaciously to get the most value for his clients who are selling or letting their valued property. And, as a longtime resident of New York, Michael understands how important the right home can be to maximize the experience of this city. Michael’s mission is to be a true partner with his clients and manage the process, alleviate the stress and navigate the labyrinth of the real estate business.
Before joining Heddings Property Group Michael had been a record-setting agent at other real estate firms. Michael's eclectic group of clients includes several prominent international businessmen, Oscar nominated actors, two Grammy winners, professional athletes and local politicians. All his clients, be they first-time renters, sellers, buyers, or active investors, get the intense attention they deserve and the fast-paced world of NYC real estate demands.
Michael’s work ethic and persistence were forged in the rustic farming community where he was raised. The work was taxing, and the long days and seven-day work weeks were mandatory. He left this behind to put himself through college and graduate school, then off to New York City to launch a career as a musician. Soon that career had him traveling the country, then the world, but he always returned to New York, often to a new apartment and a new neighborhood. Along the way he lived and worked throughout the United States, Germany, Switzerland, the French Riviera, Central and South America and Paris, Krakow and London. As a performer he worked with many of the most illustrious artists and organizations in the world: Leonard Bernstein, James Levine, Kurt Masur, Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, Frank Corsaro, Susan Stroman, Francesca Zambello, The New York City Opera, the New York Philharmonic, to name just a few. Michael has recordings with Arabesque, MSR Classics, NY Philharmonic Special Editions, among others, and is himself a Grammy nominated artist.
As a real estate professional Michael has been a top producer wherever he has been affiliated. “I had always been interested in properties, neighborhoods, and working with friends to find the right home for them. I came to real estate as an avocation – completely for the fun of it.” Michael keeps abreast of the trends in New York City real estate and is offers his insights through his Facebook Fan Page: Michael Lockley Real Estate NY.
