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!

A born and raised Calgarian, I adore this beautiful dynamic city and its vibrant surrounding areas, so many of us are grateful to call home. From my childhood growing up on a sprawling acreage in rural Springbank, to a lifestyle within the quiet, picturesque hamlet of Bragg Creek, to my current SE city residence, bordering the vast, breathtaking natural gem that is Fish Creek Park, and its extensive surrounding amenities, there are SO many reasons I am so proud to call this city home. 

I was drawn to my career in the real estate industry 12 years ago. I began working and mentoring as an assistant in varied and diverse roles, working alongside several of the top producing real estate agents of Calgary. My experience has always had at its core, the primary importance of engaging in superior client service-oriented focus, and on helping people achieve their real estate goals.

My industry experience has led me into fulfilling and unique roles including publishing, writing, editing, advertising and art direction of a relevant, related digital real estate magazine, to the production of video, graphic design and social media management. Helping clients with preparing their home for selling, is a true honour. From the initial consultation, to the staging, photos, marketing and negotiations, I strive to see residential sales and purchases turn out favourably for each and every client I have the privilege to assist. Helping buyers find their perfect dream home is a rewarding and genuinely satisfying experience. These opportunities to work with diverse demographics, in all aspects of buying and selling, keeps life interesting.

Realizing the impeccable professionalism and expertise of the Michael Smith Team, is what drew me into this valued position. Their extensive network of appreciated present and future clients, the vast plethora of industry referrals and outstanding reviews, combined with their highly competent and comprehensive systems, processes and procedures, is nothing short of exceptional. All of this and more, ensures that new and existing clients are able to easily embrace cutting edge technology, tools and processes, to enhance and streamline their experience, while successfully reaching their buying and selling goals along the way. Everything the Michael Smith Team does, is thoughtfully designed and implemented to ensure that buyers and sellers are treated with courtesy and appreciation, while using highly established, organized, and proficient processes. The consultative, systematic approach, administrative support and training that exists within this team, is truly the very best, I have yet had the pleasure to encounter thus far in my experience within the real estate industry. Agent training and accountability is expertly demonstrated in an elite fashion, and I am very proud to be recognized as a contributor to this potent team! 

While I am not engaged in striving to serve clients in the best possible ways, I am enjoying time with my family, which includes a set of boy/girl twins and a provincial champion rock climbing son. (Ok, proud mom moment over here.) I also enjoy pursuits that include running, hiking, camping and the great outdoor beauty of our surrounding areas. I have also been known to have an artistic side, that includes contemporary mixed media painting, musical pursuits, and I am also involved in the expanding Alberta Film Industry, having appeared in several past and future locally filmed TV shows and movies. (More to come on that front, stay tuned...)

As we can all agree, 'The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step'. 

I also remind myself daily that, 'You don't need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.' 

I may be a small-town girl at heart, but my journey has taken me far—from the charming town of Okotoks to the bustling streets of Toronto, and even to sunny Cabo San Lucas. Along the way, I’ve built a diverse and dynamic career in real estate, finance, and entrepreneurship, all of which have shaped my approach to helping clients like you.

After graduating from Holy Trinity Academy and earning my Bachelor of Commerce from Dalhousie University, I found myself drawn to the fast-paced world of the mortgage industry in downtown Toronto. It wasn’t long before I transitioned into real estate, and since 2017, I’ve worn many hats in this field—from mortgage underwriting and brokering to residential and commercial leasing, selling homes and condos, and even blockchain real estate consulting.

During the pandemic, I took a leap and moved to Cabo San Lucas, where I helped Canadians invest in vacation homes while growing my family’s business. That experience solidified my love for real estate and deepened my passion for educating clients and guiding them to smart, profitable decisions. Whether it’s evaluating investment opportunities or simply providing a trusted second opinion, I thrive on empowering others with the knowledge they need to succeed.

When I moved back to Calgary in 2023 to be closer to family and raise my young son, I knew I wanted to bring my expertise to the Calgary market. I transferred my license from Ontario, and joined the Michael Smith Team, eager to offer a fresh perspective and a people-first approach to every transaction. With a strong background in financing and a natural ability to connect with people, I ensure that my clients receive not only exceptional results but also a smooth, stress-free experience.

Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling—it’s about creating lasting relationships and making your dreams a reality. I’m here to provide personalized service and expert guidance, whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling a property, or looking for your next investment opportunity. I love working with first time buyers especially, to guide and educate them every step of the way. 

When I’m not busy helping clients navigate the real estate market, I’m spending quality time with my family—my son, our dog, and my partner—exploring the mountains, cooking, and reimagining our home decor. As someone who believes that success is built on both mindset and action, I live by the mantra, “thoughts become things” or in other words,  “your vision shapes your reality”. I look forward to assisting clients execute on their visions as well!
