First purchase made easy

My realtor recommended Michael, as she has worked with him in the past and had great things to say. I called Michael that day and the next morning I was sitting in his office going over paperwork. Michael was very easy to contact when I had any questions, and he always knew where we were in the pro...cess and what I was to expect next. His response time to emails and calls felt almost immediate. From start to finish Michael made purchasing my first piece of NYC real estate feel relaxed and uncomplicated. I highly recommend Michael Iakovou.

Exceptional service!

I would absolutely recommend this firm. Michael Iakovou and his team were very professional and always available. Mr. Iakovou was extremely professional and always kept me on the loop of what was going on. He met with me a couple of times for personal consultation to keep me at ease. He represented m...e whenever possible so that I didn’t have to take time off of work. I appreciate the honesty and availability and could not be happier with the outcome or the overall experience. I am glad I chose Michael Iakovou and Associates to represent me and would highly recommend him to family and friends.

Excellent Representation Real Estste Finance

Michael and his associates represent my bank in real estate finance transactions. My experience with him has been nothing but positive - diligent in communication and meticulous yet efficient in process. He is always accommodating to everyone’s schedule which is very important in today’s busy NYC rea...l estate market.

Highly Recommended!

Mr. Iakovou provided me with excellent legal assistance. Through his valuable efforts and expertise, I was granted a settlement deal that I'll always be thankful for. From day one, Mr. Iakovou demonstrated trust and loyalty to my labor case and me, as his client. He was very thorough in every step... of the process, gathering as much information and facts to build a strong case on my behalf, all while maintaining constant communication with me by providing me with all updates along the way. Mr. Iakovou's investigation and expertise in labor law, coupled with strong negotiation skills, he succeeded to find me a settlement that I was very satisfied with. Mr. Iakovou was able to turn a complicated case into a successful one by investing 100% of his efforts into my case, and in turn I am now invested in him as a professional and reliable attorney. I highly recommend Mr. Iakovou for labor cases- not only for his extensive knowledge with the Hospitality Industry, but for his willingness to be there for his client, answering all questions, and providing professional and effective results.
