Agent Credentials

Personal

Michael entered the amazing world of real estate in 2005 after exciting and successful careers in International Sports Marketing and Information Technology Consulting. He learned early on that high-touch service and client commitment were the keys to building a strong business and long lasting relationships. This ideology would be instrumental as Michael navigated through a new beginning, a very challenging real estate market in his first few years and eventually into Broker Management. He enjoys being around successful people and part of a team environment where he is both eager to educate and learn new ideas. Originally from Chicago, now calling Fairfield CT home, Michael joined William Raveis Real Estate in 2018 as Regional VP of Business Development. In November 2019, Michael was named Branch VP and Sales Manager for the Darien & Rowayton offices in Lower Fairfield County. In September 2023, Michael rejoined HQ as Regional VP of Acquisitions & Affiliates, he is responsible for further expanding the Raveis footprint in the Northeast.
