After a long and award-winning career as an actor and writer, Miles began his real estate career in 2004 by winning Rookie of the Year at a well-respected Manhattan boutique brokerage house. He brought home their award as Top Producer in their Gallery office in 2011, and in 2015, he was the #3 Producer firm-wide. He proudly joined Brown Harris Stevens in 2017 and is today happy to be associated with the most venerable firm in residential real estate in his hometown of New York.

Miles’ business is totally client-centric. The value proposition he represents is simple: he offers the highest level of personalized service, a deep knowledge of the city and its neighborhoods, and a wide view of buying and selling real estate in New York. He works with tremendous focus to root out value, evaluate options, and negotiate strongly to achieve the best deal possible for you.

His clientele is as discerning, sophisticated, and diverse as New York City itself. As such, it has included numerous celebrity, pied-a-terre and foreign buyers. Because of his long family history in New York (ten generations) one of Miles’ specialties is estate sales, which require a particular set of skills and contacts. He has bought and sold co-ops, condominiums, townhouses, development sites, and air rights all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx; and he has lived in three of those boroughs himself. Miles brings out the best in his clients because most of them are intelligent, successful, and savvy people who appreciate a true professional. Nearly all of his business is generated by repeat customers and referrals - a sure sign of success.

Miles gives back to his industry. He is an active member of the Real Estate Board of New York where he is the founding co-chair of the REBNY Queens Residential Committee and the co-President of the prestigious New York Residential Specialist group (NYRS®). He’s also a member of the Broker’s Partnership of Village Preservation (formerly known as the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, or GVSHP).

A New York native, Miles grew up on the Upper East Side, attended The Dalton School (and later on Phillip’s Exeter Academy and the Professional Children’s School), but he has also lived on the Upper West Side, in Gramercy Park (where he was a co-op Board president), Boerum Hill, and he currently lives in a landmark townhouse in Long Island City, of one of the City's most vibrant and fastest-growing neighborhoods. He sits on the Board of a number of charitable groups, among these are the Grammy-winning Experiential Orchestra, the alternative scouting group The Navigators, and he presently serves as the President of the Deacons of All Souls UUA church on the Upper East Side. He is also a proud single father of two kids who attended New York City public schools.

Testimonials

9.1.15
Testimonial from David R.
Miles is a sophisticated and experienced broker with an impressive knowledge of Manhattan real estate that includes detailed information on neighborhoods, buildings and people. He brings a level of connoisseurship to his job that is as rare as it is refreshing. A dyed in the wool New Yorker, his love of the city and all it offers shines through and made house hunting fascinating and enjoyable.

I have bought and sold more than ten properties in four states and I knew from the first conversation with Miles that he is on his game. He navigated the potentially treacherous landscape of Manhattan real estate with ease and finesse. He was calm, confident and always in control. From start to finish, he was available when I needed him and, most importantly, he listens. On more than one occasion, he offered thoughtful and insightful advice with warmth and patience.

I consider myself fortunate to have worked with Miles and highly recommend his services.

Testimonial from Gary Chasser
Miles is a knowledgeable professional who was exceptional in assisting us with the purchase of our coop. His familiarity with the market and the Upper East Side were invaluable.

8.14.12
Testimonial from Carl S.
I moved in a bit more than a week ago, and I’m perhaps 50% settled. So I guess this would be a good time to thank you for all your work on my behalf. I know it was your job, of course, but what you did for me went far beyond what was required professionally. Like Virgil accompanying Dante through Hell, you shepherded me through the Inferno of Manhattan real estate and made it always tolerable and sometimes even fun. The apartment is beautiful and, despite a few drawbacks, it’s comfortable and well laid out for my needs. I would never have found anything half as good without your help.

5.16.12
Testimonial from Barbara H.
I accompanied a friend to whom Miles was showing apartments, and I was extremely impressed with how quickly he ascertained exactly what my friend ‘s particular needs were aesthetically and practically. I can only say that if I were looking for an apartment, Miles would be the first person i would turn to in my quest, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others as well.

Testimonial
I don’t know where to begin Miles, the million unseen things you did behind the scenes, the million things you did that we know about, the consistent communication and effort, the confidence I had based on your obvious knowledge of the property and the area, the constant counsel in so many areas, you the man! You do what you say when you say it will be done and do it exceedingly well and you are a gentleman. I feel sad I will not have you as an ally on the next part of the journey.
