Michelle Breskin

Michelle Breskin is passionate about the NYC real estate market at large, but considers herself a specialist in new developments, having collaborated with architects and developers on multi-unit combinations, since they often turn to Michelle to weigh in on aspects from design to construction to help them extract the most value from their projects. As a partner with Breskin Development, she served as lead designer in more than a dozen high-end custom-builds and a notable historic renovation in the Hamptons that garnered extensive press.

As a result of this experience, Michelle understands what clients want as it relates to design, what is trending, and has a keen eye to spot quality materials in construction to ensure her clients are buying a valuable property. This intimate knowledge of design and building and attention to details also positions Michelle uniquely to help sellers as she can speak to a property and show value in ways others cannot.
