In 2018, Michael joined AREA Real Estate Advisors to help grow the industrial division. Michael plans to continue to build his portfolio by helping businesses large and small, both locally and nationally through offering a full-service approach to all his client’s needs; from sales and leasing to investments and development consulting.
