Business Philosophy

   I have sold over 400 homes and 350 million in sales during the last 21 years.
I am very familiar with the local school areas as well as the cities themselves and regularly assist families coming into the Santa Clara Valley from all over the country and the world.
You know when you call Mike and his M & M Team, you can count on excellent service and continued support weather looking to buy now or later as well as renting here.
I look forward to helping you.

Education and Training

One thing I have always believed in is further education.
Coming into the Real Estate business I wanted to give separation from all the other Realtors.
The way I decided was to take classes and graduate from the schools that give distinguished credentials.
Like the CRS, Council of Real Estate Specialists, designation. Only 4% of all Realtors ever achieve this. A hard course and difficult to complete, my most prestious.   
Also the GRI, Graduate of Realtor Institute,. Only 10% of all Realtors ever achieve this designation.
Other designations I have achieved and qualified for :
Relocation Specialists with companies such as Sirva, Cartus, Graebel, USAA, ect.
SRES, Senior Real Estate Specialists
ASP, Accredited Staging Professional
NAR GREEN, National Association of Realtors Green Graduate
SFR, Short Sale and Foreclosure Designation
E-PRO, Technology Program Designation
Credit Union Certified Realtor, member of and Realtor for several local Credit Unions

My Favorite is being a member of the First City of Cupertino Leadership Class of 1987 helping to develop the city as it sits today.

 Areas of Expertise

The best way to describe my Real Estate Knowledge is to explain what I do.
Help new arrivals to the Valley understand the traffic patterns.
Explain the history of the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, so buyer's can understand "WHY" prices are what they are.
Show buyers the recently sold and pending sales to give some current market direction.
Help seller's get the best price for their homes, through staging and network marketing, as examples.
I have sold old ,new, fixer, uppers and extremely up scale "Turn-Key" homes.

Community Involvement

Having raised my three children myself, it gives me great pleasure to now benefit from that in ways I never thought I would.
