Mr. Kovner has been with Brown Harris Stevens since 1988. Formerly he was with Douglas Elliman, where he began in 1983, and there he developed a reputation for selling a variety of downtown townhouses and apartments in prewar buildings to discerning uptown customers before there was a broad market for downtown sales. Later, he was instrumental in forging the relationship between Brown Harris Stevens and the Downtown Brokers' Association. Michael brings a commitment to being a team player whereby he is best able to benefit clients, both buyers and sellers. His sought after encyclopedic knowledge of all aspects of real estate is unmatched and he has a track record that affords him an all referral business.

An active member of the Real Estate Board of New York, Michael Kovner sits on two of the committees. He has been on the Education Committee since 1987, a qualified instructor since 1990 and he is an influential member of the Downtown Committee. He created and teaches a course called “A History of Residential Real Estate in Manhattan” which is accredited by the State of New York and is taught to sold out classes.

With a powerful reputation for knowledge, experience and results Mr. Kovner very actively is on 9 boards and is heavily involved with 8 other institutions. In winter, Mr. Kovner and his spouse, Jean Doyen de Montaillou love skiing in the Berkshires and usually make a trip to Aspen or Snowbird during the season. Weekends and summers are for the most part enjoyed at their country house in Greenwich, Connecticut, while August is spent on Nantucket
