Luxury Living By Michael Hern

What Luxury Living By Michael Hern does

Luxury Living By Michael Hern is a New Jersey-based residential real estate sales team founded in 2011 by Michael B. Hern, operating as a DBA under the Keller Williams City Views Realty brokerage franchise headquartered at 2200 Fletcher Avenue, Fort Lee. The firm provides buying, selling, rental, and commercial real estate services to luxury and mid-market buyers, sellers, landlords, and investors across New Jersey's Gold Coast — including Bayonne, Edgewater, Guttenberg, Hoboken, Jersey City, North Bergen, Secaucus, Union City, Weehawken, and West New York. The team consists of 20+ licensed sales associates, broker associates, and administrative staff.

The firm's core product is full-service transaction representation, supported by a consumer-facing digital surface that includes a dedicated property search portal (search.luxurylivingbymh.com), property listings organized by community, a mortgage calculator, an affordability calculator, a home sale calculator, and lead-capture funnels for home valuation and a 'Get Cash Offer' instant-offer service. Listings are distributed through four MLS networks — Hudson County MLS, Garden State MLS, New Jersey MLS, and OneKey MLS via MLS GRID — and the site incorporates Google Maps API for static map rendering. The technology stack is built on Squarespace for the public site and standard IDX integrations for listing data; no proprietary technology, patents, AI/ML capabilities, or unique data assets were identified.

The business operates on a traditional commission-based revenue model, earning transaction fees on residential and commercial sales and on rental placements, with the mortgage partnership with CrossCountry Mortgage (Dean Scaduto) providing an integrated financing referral channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing is multi-channel — website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, blog content, and in-person open house events. The firm has no disclosed outside investment, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity, functioning as a founder-owned and operated real estate team inside a national franchise system.
