“My approach is to give my strongest effort, to provide a high level of care, to share honest insight, and to help my clients do what is best for them and in their own timeframe. My goal would be to help you meet your needs in both the short and long term, and my hope is that in doing so we may remain connected long into the future. Education: I completed my undergraduate work at Vassar, dual-majoring in economics and psychology. I then earned a masters degree in education at Harvard as well as a graduate management certificate there. The South Shore is a hidden gem tucked between Boston and the Cape, and if you are reading my profile, you may have also come to realize this. I would surely enjoy the opportunity to work together and to share with you my knowledge and experience about what this area has to offer and about our real estate market.”
Let’s learn a little more about Mike!
What is your favorite thing about being a Real Estate Agent?
My favorite aspect of being a realtor is being part of a dynamic and evolving profession that serves to help people satisfy that critical and paramount need for housing. The opportunity to meet and help clients navigate a myriad of choices and make thoughtful decisions is very rewarding. โAIโ may be upon us, and yet it still holds true that this is a โpeopleโ business.
What do you enjoy doing outside of helping your clients buy or sell a home? What are some of your favorite hobbyโs, activities, etc.?
Pickleball, Pickleball, and more Pickleball. Where has this sport been all these years? Fresh air, sun, exercise, playing a fun game, and meeting many wonderful people have all kept me coming back from more. My two grown kids are also now hooked โ and they will even tolerate playing with me on occasion!
What do you love most about the South Shore/Plymouth County?
When I first came to the South Shore about 30 years ago, I had been living and working in the city and knew very little about it. When I arrived home after a long dayโs work and commute, I remember feeling as if I was on vacation. Years later I have that same sense, and I have raised my children here. As a realtor, I have become very familiar with this region, which in my heart is now not just my homeโฆbut also my โvacationโ home. I am grateful for the discovery.
Share with us a memorable moment in your Real Estate career?
Iโve had a long real estate career full of many memorable moments. Rather than to describe a specific moment, Iโd rather highlight a specific โtypeโ of moment. Every day, young couples take their first drive down to the south shore in search of a new life, starting with their first home – as I once did. Itโs hard to beat that feeling one gets from helping people ultimately make their dream a realityโฆand in seeing just how happy a young couple is, for example, when they get the news that they have secured that first home and are about to launch their future.
Why South Shore Sothebyโs International Realty?
I have worked for 4 successful brokerages over the years, but I gravitated to and stuck with South Shore Sothebyโs International Realty after realizing that they are clearly the best at what they do. At the international level, there is truly no counterpart in terms of their network. The quality brand is also uniquely distinct in terms of quality, of course. However, it is more than anything the leadership and the people who work there which Iโve found to be quite special. I feel the love and support every day from both professional and caring colleagues, who have become like a second family to me.
If you could leave everyone with one piece of Real Estate advice, what would it be?
Before making any big decisions, take a breath. Think about what you are trying to accomplish, get prepared, and avoid being impulsive. Find a great agent to work with – someone who will be in your corner, someone always accessible and who works at this full time, and someone who will guide you with both knowledge and experience. Whether buying or selling, real estate can become stressful. Taking that breath and having a good partner in your process will provide security, will take the edge off, and will bring you success.
