About Mike

Careful Listener

I’m dedicated to treating you with respect, to listening carefully so that I can truly understand your needs and make sure none of your time is wasted. I understand that clear communication is crucial to making my client’s vision of the transaction become a reality.

Committed Advocate

I take very seriously the role of the realtor as a fiduciary. I’ve built a reputation for being a sincere advocate of my clients’ interests. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest decisions people make. I provide the professionalism, integrity, and compassion necessary to make you feel secure throughout the process.

Tough Negotiator

You want a Realtor with teeth, someone who is a bulldog when it comes to pushing for your goals. You also want an agent who understands the subtleties of the negotiating process, who listens carefully in order to understand the different angles of every situation, and who works to keep you in control during the course of the transaction. I want my clients to win.

Aggressive, Innovative Marketer

I am a full-time marketing professional. I think outside the box to use all available means to effectively market my clients’ properties. I maximize the effectiveness of internet marketing through the use of advertising on scores of web sites, premium virtual tours, social networking media, and more. In addition, I excel at good, old-fashioned networking – using my contacts with countless other agents and buyers in the area to get properties sold fast. After working with me for a brief period I think you will agree that I spend more time, money and resources on my clients than most other Realtors.

Local Expert

As a resident of the DC Metro area for over 20 years I know the character of the various local communities and neighborhoods, and so can help you find one that will be a perfect fit. With 9 years of experience as a Bethesda-based, full-time Realtor, I understand the nuances of the local real estate market and have my finger on its pulse. A degree in Economics provides me with the background to recognize how the dynamics of the local and national economy affect DC metropolitan area real estate trends.

I’ve developed valuable connections to many of the best and most trustworthy local service providers and business people, so that I can pull together a team of professionals that will make your real estate transaction as smooth as possible.

My wife, Anne, and I live in Kensington with our two daughters.
