Since 2006, I’ve specialized in selling condominiums and single-family homes, including new construction and resale. I’ve worked with some of the top developers and builders in the greater King County area. I also had the pleasure of working one-on-one with individual home buyers and sellers. For all clients, my goal is to exceed expectations. I work hard from start to finish and beyond to make the transaction as smooth as possible.

Prior to real estate I had a long and rewarding career with Nordstrom in numerous roles. There, I learned the value of always putting the customer first.

As a lifelong resident of the Seattle area, I have great insight to this always changing city. I find this helps my buyers, sellers and developers achieve the results they are looking for.

In my spare time I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and exploring this incredible country.

As a founding partner of Matrix Real Estate, Mike continues to fuel his mission of providing top-tier marketing and sales solutions for developers in the residential real estate sector.

For over 30 years, Mike has been a cornerstone in Seattle-area real estate.

Under Mike’s leadership, MCM Group, as it became known, grew into one of the Puget Sound area’s most respected and high-volume condominium marketing firms. The company specialized in a diverse range of multi-family properties, from low- to high-rise condominiums, townhomes, and new construction projects. Mike’s expertise guided the company to success, spanning from Tacoma to Everett.

In 2015, Mike facilitated the merger of MCM Group with Matrix Real Estate, expanding the firm’s focus to single-family communities across Washington State. His leadership approach is characterized by a strong, collaborative team ethos, where he places high value on teamwork and shared goals. His leadership mantra, “no ego,” emphasizes collaboration for the benefit of both developers and communities.

A natural mentor, Mike also taught Community Sales Professional (CSP) courses for the local Master Builders Association. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from City University and was honored as the William A. Bain Associates “Rookie of the Year” in 1990.
