Elevating Calgary's Real Estate Scene

Welcome! I'm Michael, a passionate and dedicated real estate professional specializing in larger, estate, and luxury homes in the vibrant city of Calgary. With a background in New-build Custom real estate and a combined total of over 20 years of experience in home sales, bringing a unique perspective to the industry, combining a deep understanding of home design and construction with expert negotiation skills to make sure our clients always come out on top!

 

Accolades & Achievements: Proudly standing as a 3x Centurion Award Winner and 2x Top 100 in Canada for Century 21, my journey is adorned with over 100 5-star reviews. These aren't just numbers; they're a testament to my relentless dedication and the trust my clients place in me.

 

A Personalized Journey: I believe in a consultative approach, ensuring that each client's journey is tailored to their dreams and desires. I'm not just about transactions; I'm about crafting memorable experiences and exceeding expectations.

 

Success Stories: One of my most cherished success stories involves saving a family from the brink of foreclosure. In a sluggish market, we managed to sell their property 50% faster than the average, securing a price above market value. The tears of joy and heartfelt family hug when they realized the tens of thousands of dollars I saved them, are the moments that remind me why I do what I do.

 

Why I Love Calgary: Calgary is a canvas of diversity, offering everything from cozy condos to sprawling luxury estates. It's a city that comes alive in green, and its warm-hearted residents make it a place I'm proud to call home.

 

Life Beyond Real Estate: When I step away from the hustle of real estate, I treasure moments with my family, enjoy the challenge of golf, glide on ice playing hockey, and revisit my glory days as a 2x National Sparring Champion in TaeKwon-Do.

 

Staying Sharp: In an ever-evolving market, staying ahead is key. Through weekly team training sessions and daily market analysis, I ensure that my clients always have the upper hand.

 

Michael's Pro Tip: The cornerstone of a successful real estate journey is the right guidance. It's heartbreaking to see dreams slip away due to lack of preparation and strategies to beat the market. Let's get you ready!
