Michael is originally from Atlanta and has proudly called the Lake Norman area home for the past 12 years. Michael and his family live in Troutman, where he helps buyers and sellers throughout the Lake Norman and Charlotte regions. Before real estate, Michael spent nearly 20 years as a classically trained chef, which taught him the importance of communication, attention to detail, and taking care of people. Those same values drive his business today. Clients often compliment him on being honest, approachable, and low pressure. He believes real estate should feel personal, not transactional. He loves helping families, relocation clients, lake lifestyle buyers, and those searching for land, new construction, or investment opportunities. When he is not working, he spends time with his wife and son, enjoys the outdoors, cooks, travels, or finds great local food spots around Lake Norman. You’ll usually find him in cowboy boots — it’s kind of his thing. What makes him different is simple: relationships come first. He treats his clients like friends, gives honest advice, and works hard to ensure they feel confident every step of the way.
I work on a few simple philosophies:
Every house is the RIGHT house for you at the RIGHT price.
Every house is the WRONG house for you at the WRONG price.
Remember, you don't make your money when you sell your house, you make it when you buy!!!
And finally, there is NO such thing as a once in a lifetime deal...there will always be another one.
My reviews are not from family members 'fluffing' and artificially inflating my ratings....they come from actual clients, all of whom by the end of their transactions I can energetically call friends.
I will work tirelessly for you. Those aren't empty words, I promise. And if we have to visit every house in the state to find the right one for you, then you're probably too picky :)
