Originally from Burlington, Ontario, and has lived in Hamilton, Stoney Creek, London and Niagara Falls, Michael has loved real estate since he was 11 years old after seeing his neighbour working for Century 21, toting gold jackets and fancy Lincoln Town cars for his clients. At 13, his mother was having a difficult time financially after his parent’s divorce and started cleaning a real estate office. She would bring Michael and his younger brother along with her. That was it — Michael had the bug. All those house pictures, the property cut sheet cards, and MLS® books mesmerized him. Selling real estate at 13 was unrealistic, so he started a little business and, at 15, living on his own, ventured into Information Technology, helping people with computers and opening a computer store named Micro-Shop.
Michael took advantage of every adventure, big and small. He owned several businesses, wrote technical manuals and received his advanced amateur radio license when he was 20. Michael had a goal to visit every country in the entire world. He got to just over 70 countries and became burnt out by airports.
Decades later, he is just as excited about real estate as in 1998 — still with his original broker, Century 21. Michael calls Prince Edward Island his home, and his goal is not just to sell real estate but to educate his clients so that they can make the best decisions based on factual data and experience. Michael is a full-time agent who lives, eats and breathes Prince Edward Island Real Estate, and it shows on his hugely successful YouTube channel that was started in 2007, featuring thousands of videos and millions of views.
In addition to his unwavering dedication to Prince Edward Island Real Estate, Michael is deeply passionate about animals, homeless people and aiding those in need. He generously volunteers at the PEI Humane Society and actively supports various provincial charities, including the local food bank. Michael firmly upholds the principles of honesty and ethics as the cornerstones of his business philosophy. He always treats people with respect and prioritizes his client's best interests over financial gain.
