Born and raised in the Bay Area, Michael comes from five generations of San Francisco natives and has always had a deep love for the city.
He studied Construction Management and Landscape Architecture at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, paired with an Associate of Science in Business Administration. That foundation in design, construction, and project management is something he utilizes daily in his business.
In his first year, Michael was awarded Rookie of the Year by his brokerage. Since then, he has had the privilege of helping clients buy and sell homes across the Bay Area, surpassing the $100 million mark by the age of 27, earning recognition as one of his firm’s top producing sales advisors.
He continues to build on that momentum as part of a four-agent team — alongside Mike Shaw, Bernie Katzmann, and Mila Gelman — ranked in the top 1% of Realtors locally and nationally by RealTrends. Together, the team brings complementary skill sets to provide a thoughtful, streamlined experience for every client.
At the heart of Michael’s approach is building lasting relationships rooted in trust. As he often tells clients in their first meeting, “We would much rather talk you out of a transaction than talk you into one.”
Outside of real estate, Michael values balance in what is often a 24/7 business. A proud homeowner in Eureka Valley, he spends much of his time in the neighborhood. A lifelong athlete, he prioritizes his health, spending much of his free time cycling and training, exploring San Francisco’s parks with his Golden Retriever-Labrador, Archie, and pursuing creative interests in ceramics, interior design, and photography.
