Seldom one comes across who possesses such comprehensive skills as well as the passion to employ...
It might be fair to state that, I have been around and been through my fair share of experiences, good and not so good.
It is not that one comes across a professional who possesses the repertoire of skills apt for a practice; but then, passionately employs them all in delicate yet appropriate measures / balance in the service of one's customer or in one's profession; that is Michael, a rarer combination of skills, attitude and service; an increasingly rare combination in the days of instant everything and short-termism.
A genuine young person, who cares, knows and deeply desires to make it possible for his customer's to reach their goals; practical yet empathetic, realistic yet with a deep desire to lock into the customer's aspirations and do his best, whilst not straying away from achievable - all in the interest of his customer.
It is not that he has achieved the outcome for us, that we set out to achieve but the most important outcome of our association with Michael is that, whenever we will think of real estate, the first call from us will go to him, even if he is not exactly serving the area we are considering - that is trust and strength of the relationship he has earned with us.
Not to ignore, as an ex. CEO, I keep wondering that, in this day and age of volume, instant gratification, short-term results; where established businesses are falling by the way side like dominos for either failing to catch-up on the new channels and ways of business or outsourcing the not-outsourcable namely, knowledge and service; Ray White must be doing something right, if they are attracting persons like Michael and growing them into their potential - there is a page of wisdom in business management / governance from Ray White...
If I were looking for a global-account-engagement manager for a fortune 500 company, which was part of my responsibilities during my corporate days, I would have loved Michael to be on our team - a definite plus.
Best wishes Michael
