Experience, Trust and Knowledge

Who to Choose!

There are many people in the market place eager to help you with real estate. I believe it is VERY important that you choose carefully.  The person you choose will be helping you make some pretty important financial decisions. That person needs to have a true knowledge of the entire process. Just obtaining your salespersons license is not enough, in my opinion, to truly understand the entire process of investing in real estate. Because, even if you are just buying a primary residence, it is an investment. One that can bring you long term financial rewards. Being a multi-million dollar producer is a good thing, and I am one, but in my opinion to understand the investment side of real estate you have to have done it for yourself. I have. 

Why I think I am the right realtor for you:


  • 18 years experience in all aspects of real estate.

  • I am a real estate investor myself. I don't just sell it I own it!

  • REO agent for Bank Of America. This means I am on the inside track of the foreclosure market in my area.

  • GRI certified - This means I have over 92 EXTRA classroom hours in all aspects of real estate.

  • e-PRO certified - This is a National association of Realtors Course that teaches Realtors how to use the internet properly to market real estate. Fewer than 10% of the agents have this in a market where 82% of the clients are starting their searches online.

  • Genuine Knowledge of the area

  • BUYERS: I am not about High Pressure sales. My goal is not to SELL you anything. I am here to help you do the research that will lead us to the right property for you. I will help you define your choices, explore the market and make a decision without ever pressuring you in anyway.

    •  

  • SELLERS: You stand to lose the most from someone who is not up to the task of selling your home. Virtaully everyone will tell you that they are going to "put your home on the internet" as part of listing it.  That is pretty vague let me show you how that is done properly.  Promises are one thing having it in writing is another.  I'll put my services in writing for you. 

  • TEACHING: In 2008 I started training to teach my proffession.  I regulary teach the subject of real estate to new agents entering the busines and experienced agents looking to home their skills.

    Personal:


    With Michael, you have a friend in the business. After 16 years of working with Realtors in building my personal Real Estate portfolio, I was able to sell my business and retire to Palm Springs. I still know how it feels to be in the client's shoes because I have never stopped investing in Real Estate! Having bought and sold so many types of property personally, I am well positioned to help you maximize your Real Estate experience.

    Palm Springs offers a wonderful lifestyle and, with me, you have found someone who not only enjoys what he does, but, one who knows and loves where he lives. I can't wait to share the magic of the Desert with you.


    Experience, Trust and knowledge - because it really does matter who you chose to buy and sell real estate with.

    Specialization

    I specialize in representing my clients in the purchase and sale of single-family residences -- both homes and condos -- within the cities of Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta, Desert Hot Springs and Palm Desert. I keep current of all activity in these areas, and I'm also aware of homes that are not listed but are for sale.

    In Real Estate there are many fanciful slogans about service but few definitions. Let me define service for you. It is my total dedication to the process of buying or selling your real estate. Protecting you every step of the way using my knowledge to make the transaction not only smooth but safe. Each transaction involves a myriad of different situations and I consider it my primary job to keep you informed of your rights and your options every step of the way.

    I work very hard to stay on top of the market. Touring hundreds of homes every month, networking, taking seminars and staying connected with trade publications.This is the level of dedication you deserve in your real estate transaction.

    Commercial Expertise. For 16 years in my other buisness I negotiated commercial leases. If you are looking to purchase a small buisness opportunity I can help guide you thru the process of negotiating, understanding and implementing the lease. These sales are usually much more time consuming but if you are in the market please give me a call and I will see if my abilities fit your goals.
