25+ years in Houston real estate. Over 1,000 families served. A track record built on doing the work, not talking about it.

I came to this country with a plan and not much else. No shortcuts, no handed-down playbook, no network to lean on. What I had was a willingness to outwork the room and figure things out one deal at a time. That's how I got into real estate, and honestly, that's still how I run my business today.
Over the last 25 years I've helped more than a thousand Houston families buy, sell, and invest. Some were first-time buyers who needed someone to slow down and explain the process. Others were investors who needed a broker who could actually keep up. Either way, the standard is the same: pick up the phone, tell the truth, and get the deal closed.
I'm licensed in three fields — real estate, tax, and insurance — because most people's biggest financial moves don't live in neat little boxes. When you're buying a home, your taxes matter. Your coverage matters. Having one person who sees the whole picture, and a team behind him, changes how the whole thing goes.
If we work together, you'll get straight answers, quick responses, and someone who treats your money the way I'd treat my own.
Every career has a story. Mike's happens to start with losing almost everything within an hour of landing in America, and ends with three licenses under one roof.
Landed in America on a visitor visa. Lost most of what he brought within the first hour.
Gas station, security, night shifts. Worked his way through CUNY for an accounting degree.
Built a career with Liberty Mutual and AIG, learning to protect what people worked for.
After 9/11, packed up New York and started over in Houston. New city, same work ethic.
Opened a Houston tax office with his last bit of savings. One client at a time.
Watched tax clients build wealth through real estate. Went back to school, earned his broker license.

Most people don't just need a realtor. They need someone who understands how the pieces fit, and who they can call when the next question comes up. That's why I lead teams in tax and insurance too.
