More About Mike

Stripes
Hi, I'm Mike.
I don’t believe in simply representing my clients. I believe in showing up for them.
Behind every move is a story. A growing family, a new opportunity, a change in lifestyle, an investment, or simply the feeling that it is time for something new. No two clients or situations are ever quite the same, and that is something I genuinely love about what I do. I want to understand what matters to you, what you are hoping to accomplish, and then put my experience, market knowledge, and work ethic behind helping you get there.
I live and raise my family in Kirkland and have a genuine connection to this community and the Greater Eastside. I know the neighborhoods, schools, streets, and nuances that make one home or location different from another. But local knowledge is only part of it. I study the market every day, paying attention to what buyers are responding to, why one home sells while another sits, and how pricing and changing conditions should shape our strategy.
Whether I am helping you sell a home or find the right one, I am hands-on, strategic, and honest. For sellers, that means thoughtful preparation, smart positioning, marketing that gets noticed, and a pricing and negotiation strategy designed around the market in front of us. For buyers, it means understanding what you’re buying, recognizing opportunity and risk, and knowing when to move quickly or when to walk away. I’ll tell you what I believe you need to hear, not simply what you want to hear, and I’ll always protect your interests as if they were my own.
Results matter to me. A lot. But so does how we get there. I believe in answering my phone, communicating openly, doing what I say I am going to do, and being there when my clients need me. When someone trusts me with something as important as their home or their next move, I take that responsibility personally. Maybe it’s the hockey player in me, but I’ve always believed that when you’re part of a team, you show up for each other. Once we decide to work together, I am in your corner 100 percent. I will advocate for you, problem-solve when things get complicated, celebrate the wins, and do everything I can to help you reach your goal. There is never pressure. It starts with a conversation, and trust is earned from there.
Outside of real estate, I am a husband to my wife, Leah, and a dad to two amazing kids. Family is the center of my world. You’ll often find me on the sidelines cheering on my family, spending time on the water or in the mountains, or doing one of the things I love most: cooking and entertaining for friends and family. I love a house full of people, good food, laughter, and time around the table. To me, those are the moments that make a house feel like home.
I am fortunate to have built a business doing something I genuinely enjoy, in a community I am proud to call home. Many clients have become friends, and much of my business comes from past clients and referrals. There is no greater compliment than someone trusting me again or recommending me to someone they care about.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling, let’s start with a conversation. Tell me what matters to you and where you’d like to go. I’ll give you my perspective, answer your questions honestly, and if we decide to work together, you can count on me to show up from our first conversation through the finish line, and long after the keys change hands.
