Michael Galgano

I was born in the good old Bronx, and along with my parents, Mike & Marie and my older sister Joanne, we moved to New City. I attended Clarkstown schools and graduated from Clarkstown South (GO VIKINGS!) After majoring in marketing and advertising in college, I went into the construction industry. For 16 years I was an Operating Engineer, working for major companies such as Kiska, HRH, Shavione, Perini, Iron Bridge, Koch, Herbert & Lehr/McGovern. I was responsible for working the New York City Water tunnels, high-rise buildings as well as installing the large glass panels on the Jacob Javit’s Center with a 40 ton Grove Crane. When I was married with two children, I decided to utilize my marketing skills. I started my real estate career by joining Weichert Realtors, and quickly became a top producer for the Nanuet office. I was then recruited by Re/Max ( a privilege only few agents are offered) and was also a top producer with them for 4 years. In 1998 I took the biggest step to the enhance the services I provide and became affiliated with I.B.N.A (Independent Brokers Network of America) As the Broker/Owner of my own office for the last 18 years, I am networked with over 2000 agents along with a referral network throughout the United States. I have been fortunate to build the amazing team I have and to grow the Real Estate Group to where it is today. My wife Theresa and I have been married for 29 years and have three children. I met Teri in high school and we dated for quite a while through-out college. She is not only a wonderful mother, but she is my best friend and although we are married for a short time in our lives, like most couples we have had our share of good times and bad. With trust, respect and a good sense of humor, we have been fortunate to have a wonderful life together. I am very lucky to have her on my side. My “baby girl Jacqueline is 28 (where did the time go?)! My first child who always melts my heart, is funny, talented and down to earth just to mention some of her many wonderful qualities. Made from the same mold as me, it’s funny how much we think alike and say the same thing at the same time. She is a hard worker and is the owner of Studio Jacked Dance Company in Nanuet. “Rocklands Premier Hip Hop Company.” She gave me another Joy this past year along with Rich, my first grandchild…Lennox Jace.. How cool to be a grandfather ..love it! Get to play and give him back.. he is just over 1 and is a blast for Teri and I. Michael, Mikey, 25 yrs old manages Studio Jacked and is a recording artist and owns MRG Studios. Engaged to be married in Sept 2018 to Gabby and are proud to have her part of our growing family. Mikey is a great kid, (adult) very considerate and caring with a sense of humor that kills me. He coaches North Rockland Youth Hockey and is a Drummer who has toured all over the US. Last, but not least, there’s ...Madeline. Maddie is 19 years old and although my wife and I waited several years for our last child, we feel we planned it just right. It was like getting a whole new chance to be a parent again. She is a blast to have around and probably the strongest minded child we have. She does the funniest things and is always laughing, singing or dancing. (my wife's trait) Maddie is currently in college after graduating High school. She is an amazing dancer and had study at LaGuardia School of Preforming Arts, Studio Jacked, various NY schools and her senior year of High school was home schooled the first half of the year as she attended Alvin Ailey in Calf. For 6 months and graduated with her North Rockland class. She attended Hofstra her first year and of course was on the dance team, but is planning to transfer Montclaire this year. Ohh.. and then there’s Mia our 3 year old spoiled Maltese which we can't keep in the fenced back rear yard, no matter what we do! This pretty much completes our little family. I thank you for allowing me to tell you a little about my family and hope that you have enjoyed it as much as I have had sharing it with you. Truth be known, this page is the true reason behind my success!
