About Me About Me

Michael McGuirk is a licensed real estate professional in both CT and NY. He spent nearly two decades in high-end sales with a multi-million dollar hospitality group in New York City - where success meant reading the room, anticipating needs, and creating a great experience no matter what came his way. It is that same people-first mindset that guides him today giving him a unique edge when it comes to delivering results in this fast-paced and competitive housing market.

Michael first worked with real estate agents while sweeping chimneys for his father’s roofing and contracting company. His father’s strong relationships with agents taught him two key lessons: the best agents are hands-on and they stay proactive, working closely with everyone to keep deals on track. Raised by parents from England and Ireland, it is this European upbringing that instilled in Michael the importance of character, tradition, and dependability which the William Pitt / Sotheby's International brand holds.

After living in Manhattan for over 20 years, Michael, his wife Amanda, and their two rescues moved to Ridgefield, CT where they have fully immersed themselves in the community. He has served as both President of the Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce and The Ridgefield Lions Club and is an emcee for charity galas and fundraisers in the area. 

A veteran of the entertainment business, Michael has been on the small screen, the big screen, has been seen and heard in over 50 commercials, and is an award winning playwright. A trained singer, he has performed all over the country and still can be heard in the shower belting out any Sinatra hit that is going on in his head. In his downtime, Michael loves talking sports, playing golf, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, tackling his next DIY project, and convincing himself that he knows how to take care of his lawn & garden.

Clients trust Michael because he keeps things calm, communicates clearly, and offers honest, data-driven advice from start to finish. No fluff, definitely no pressure - just smart strategy and real results no matter how complex it gets. Michael is a 2 time Five Star Rising Star Award recipient, a Silver Award Winner, as well as a contributing writer for “House Digest Magazine” where he shares his real estate advice.

Testimonials (13)

Michael did an outstanding job helping us with the recent sale and purchase of our homes. His knowledge of the current market and communication skills coupled with his kindness and patient manner is something rarely found today and made our experience truly delightful. Michael is also service minded and trust worthy. A couple of examples come to mind. When we were purchasing our home, Michael was able to meet inspectors in the home when we were not able to be there - And then when we were selling our home, Michael handled all the details staging, marketing, open house, and selling for above asking price- while we were on vacation! In sum, whenever we have put our trust in him, Michael has always delivered. Amanda D.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael McGuirk to find tenants for our unique historic property, and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Michael demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with renting out a historic property. His expertise and dedication were evident in every step of the process. Michael took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and the special features of our property. He easily highlighted the property’s historic charm to potential new tenants with a marketing strategy that was spot-on, attracting interested and qualified applicants. What truly set Michael apart was his attention to detail and commitment to finding the right tenants. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for our property made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Thanks to Michael McGuirk we now have wonderful tenants who appreciate and respect the historic significance of our property. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable realtor who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. Suzanne B.
Michael is an excellent agent. Always professional, and available with any questions or concerns. His attention to detail made for a efficient and smooth closing on a new home we are extremely happy with. Suzanne Maksel
Michael could not have been more diligent and supportive of us as first time home buyers. When we met him, we (naively) told him we had a tight timeline to get into a home before our baby comes. Due to his guidance, we had our offer accepted on our forever home just two weeks after we met him. Michael had a pre-assembled dream team of lenders, inspectors, attorneys, etc ready to go and everyone was a amazing to work with. He was so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process, and we are so thankful. He’s upbeat, funny, responsive, accommodating and just everything you’d want in an agent and a resource in the community. Jackie Freitas
