Drawing on a background in construction management, landscape architecture, and business, he takes an analytical, education-first approach, helping clients look beyond a home's finishes to understand the complexities of San Francisco's housing stock. He advises buyers and sellers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, with extensive experience across neighborhoods including Buena Vista, Duboce Triangle, Corona Heights, Eureka Valley, and Mission Dolores.
Michael studied Construction Management and Landscape Architecture at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, while also earning an Associate of Science in Business Administration. He was named Rookie of the Year during his first year at Vanguard Properties and surpassed $100 million in career sales by the age of 27, quickly establishing himself as one of the firm's top-producing sales advisors.
Today, Michael is part of a four-agent team alongside Mike Shaw, Bernie Katzmann, and Mila Gelman, recognized among the top 1% of real estate teams locally and nationally by RealTrends.
At the heart of Michael's approach is building lasting relationships rooted in trust. Whether working with first-time buyers, seasoned homeowners, or investors, he believes the best real estate decisions come from education, transparency, and a well-defined strategy—not pressure. As his team often tells clients, "Our job isn't to convince you to make a move. It's to help you make the right one—even if that means not making one at all."
Outside of real estate, Michael is a homeowner in Eureka Valley and spends much of his time in the neighborhood. He enjoys cycling, fitness, interior design, ceramics, photography, and exploring San Francisco with his Golden Retriever–Labrador, Archie.
