About Michael:
Michael comes from a marketing background and worked in the music industry for over 20 years in marketing, promotion and advertising at Warner Bros Records. As a vice president there he helped create campaigns for dozens of artists ranging from Eric Clapton and Neil Young to Green Day.
He brings a marketing driven approach to selling real estate, utilizing the latest technologies with an emphasis on internet exposure and providing extra value to his clients. Michael chose Windermere because of the company's technologically savvy approach and the extensive educational and training resources it provides to its agents. He is an Certified Seller's Representative (CSR), an Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR) and is currently completing the requirements for his brokers license.
Michael bought his house on Westcott Bay in 1999 after vacationing in the islands many times over the years. He relocated to San Juan Island full time in the Fall of 2004 and started selling real estate in Friday Harbor and San Juan Island in January of 2005.
Originally from Seattle, Michael had lived in the Los Angeles area since the mid 80's and started his real estate career there with Coldwell Banker in Woodland Hills in 2001. He quickly established himself as one of that office's most successful new agents. However the notion of moving back to the Northwest and pursuing real estate in the San Juan Islands was a recurring one and in 2004 Michael decided it was time to make that change.
Since moving to San Juan Island Michael has also become involved in several community activities, joining the board of the Animal Protection Society of Friday Harbor in 2007. He was active in animal rescue in Los Angeles and has a "brood" of five rescued cats. He is also active in the Roche Harbor Neighborhood Association and the Friday Harbor Chamber Of Commerce. Recently elected vice president of the San Juan County Association of Realtors for 2009, Michael serves on several association committees . An avid runner, his other interests include travel, photography, skiing, reading, and of course music.
Michael combines professionalism, integrity and excellent negotiating skills with a love of people, a sense of humor and a down to earth approach to each transaction. His clients' best interests are always his top priority. Call him to discuss how he can help you achieve your real estate goals.

"Throughout the home buying experience - searching, negotiating, inspecting, financing and closing - Michael was there for me every step of the way. Not only was he available at all hours for anything related to the process, he insisted on being a part of everything. And when challenges presented themselves (as they inevitably do) I was glad to find that he had already taken the initiative to prevent those bumps from blocking progress. Michael's ever present focus, upbeat attitude and humor made me feel confident I would see the results I wanted."
