He is skilled at negotiating, sales, creative marketing, and financial analysis.
Mitch currently lives on Upper East Side where he serves as Board Vice President and Chair of the House Committee at his condominium.

Mitch also knows the downtown area, having graduated from NYU Stern Business School, lived in the Village, and later receiving an Executive MBA degree from Pace University.

Testimonial from Randy and Chris Barnum
This letter is being written to enthusiastically recommend the real estate services of Jenn Tanner and Mitch Askinas of Coldwell Banker Warburg. We had the pleasure of having Jenn and Mitch handle the sale of our Manhattan condominium. The entire process was handled seamlessly and efficiently. Jenn and Mitch effectively staged the property for sale and had open houses that resulted in several offers well above our asking price. They were always immediately available to answer any questions we had during the process and at all times handled the transaction with great skill, knowledge and insight. Their real estate services in the sale of our property exceeded our expectations in all respects.
We give Jenn and Mitch our highest possible recommendation.

Testimonial from Valentina M.
Mitch was great realtor. He is the 4th realtor I have come across in the past 5 years, and let me put it this way; I have never come across a real estate agent who takes you under their wing and guide you through the difficult task of buying condo in Manhattan during peak Covid/Pandemic time.
Needless to say, he pulls off what we ask for superbly. He is charming, nice to talk to and never made us feel rushed when we talked to him. He is also very knowledgeable in what all we need to get application/packets ready for board members. He looked through our mortgage approval and introduced us to other lender who gave a better deal.
When I am ready for my next real estate adventure, he is the first realtor I am going to call.
