Michael is a real estate veteran. After getting his real estate license at the young age of 19, he
spent two decades building a successful business with partners Jorda Maisey and Trisha Bongers
blocks from where he grew up. For Michael, real estate has always been about being an
ambassador for the community that shaped him.
In 2011 – 20 years into his real estate career – Michael set out to challenge himself. Having never
made a video before, he recorded 30 videos in 30 days. The results were instantaneous and
undeniable. Not only did his clients’ listings outperform others in the market, he could no longer
go shopping at the local grocery store without being stopped. Michael told (and continues to tell)
stories of his community with a passion and conviction that make others want to make North
Langley home too.
Michael was practically born a coach. His insatiable desire to help others can be seen from the
little league baseball diamond to the stage speaking to an audience of 10,000 agents at R4 in Las
Vegas. Michael’s reputation as a video thought leader is in part because of his technical skills, as
he is an ardent student of video tech & techniques. But it is by pointing his camera at the place
he knows best, North Langley, that Michael has become known as a global leader in using video
to tell a community’s stories. That reputation – paired with a commitment to inspire others – is
what brings him to real estate stages across the world.
Michael’s driving force is to be a springboard for others and give back to his community. As a
counterpart to Jesse, Michael has trained agents from all over the world in not just camera work,
but also storytelling. RE Video Studio Bootcamps are renowned for building courage and
inspiring approaches to real estate influenced by Michael’s personal journey in North Langley,
BC. Michael provides pitch perfect support, insight, and pro tips, all geared towards helping
others be the absolute best they can be.
Starting with Mobile Agent TV in 2012, Michael rarely puts the host hat down. In fact, he is far
more comfortable showcasing others than talking about himself. This selflessness has come to
define Michael’s reputation in the industry. It is also an attitude that shows in his dedication to RE
Video Studios, RE/MAX Play and a myriad of other efforts to raise the bar on the entire real estate
industry. There’s no question that Michael is comfortable in his own skin, but when you are with
him, the stage will always be yours.
