THE ATLAS NYC PHILOSOPHY

The guiding philosophy of Atlas NYC is to manage our clients’ properties from an OWNER’S PERSPECTIVE Every Atlas NYC property manager got their start managing self owned or family owned property. As a result, we have become experts in efficient and effective property management. Our first instinct is not to throw money at a problem, but rather, to think out the most appropriate course of action given all the information at our disposal. We devote our time and effort to solving a building’s problems before we devote the owner’s money. With every client, we ask, “How would we manage this property if we owned it ourselves?” The answer to that question guides our management perspective, and the results of this approach are clear we provide solutions that are not only more cost efficient, but also more effective.

ABOUT THE OWNER

Atlas NYC Owner and Founder, Eric Michael, started his professional career as an attorney, practicing general commercial litigation for about a dozen years before transitioning into property management But Eric’s experience with real estate stems back to his childhood.

Eric’s father is a Real Estate Broker who ran a local store-front office in Park Slope where Eric’s family lived for decades. In addition to being a Real Estate Broker, Eric’s father was also skilled at repairs and renovations, bought properties in distress, renovated them, and sold them after then were rehabilitated As a young child, Eric would go with his father after hours and help with the repairs and renovations. Over the years, Eric’s father taught him how to identify building problems, how to work up a solution, how to use the tools needed to implement the solution, and how to get the job done. In short, Eric began learning how to manage and fix the problems a building faces by working on family owned properties But more than that, Eric learned how to CARE for the buildings he worked on because his father taught him to care

The solutions Eric learned to implement are the solutions an owner implements to fix self owned properties. Eric learned the most efficient and effective way to make sure the buildings were properly cared for He learned how to manage buildings from the OWNER’S PERSPECTIVE He learned how to implement pragmatic and practical solutions to real life building problems. These childhood lessons stuck with Eric and form the building blocks of the management philosophy and leadership he brings to Atlas NYC

After his early days learning the real estate business from his father, Eric went through rigorous education earning scholarships and top graduation honors, was twice a Valedictorian, and attended and earned a degree from a top 5 law school. Eric went on to get his training at some of the nation’s largest law firms and then moved to a smaller law firm later in his law career to get the kind of hands-on experience a smaller firm provides. In his legal career, Eric learned how to identify legal issues and implement unique strategies to resolve those issues After practicing law for about 12 years, Eric left the profession and began helping rehabilitate family-owned properties in 2009.

Eric’s return to the real estate world was a stunning success as he was able to bring his unique skill sets to work in a way that few property managers can Eric’s childhood background gave him practical, on-site property knowledge in dealing with physical property issues. His legal training gave him the ability to identify and resolve the administrative, regulatory, and legal issues properties face By combining these two skills, Eric has been able to provide unmatched service to the buildings he cares for

Eric regularly attends seminars, reviews property related laws and regulations, and reads industry articles in order to stay current on the multitude of constantly changing legal requirements affecting properties. He uses this knowledge to advise clients how their buildings should be run and maintained, to draft new provisions of the Atlas NYC in house lease documents, and to oversea amendments to Co op and Condo House Rules, By Laws and other governing documents. When he’s not solving property related problems or educating himself on new laws, Eric likes to spend time with his wife and daughter
