Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Fischer
Michael, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey in real estate started early on. Growing up, I was captivated by construction projects in my neighborhood, often sneaking onto sites with friends to explore. One day, instead of kicking us out, a builder took the time to explain his project to me. That experience lit a spark that stayed with me through college, where I knew real estate was my calling. Despite graduating during the Great Recession, I dove into the industry and found my footing.
Since then, I’ve worn many hats in real estate: from residential sales and managing my own boutique brokerage to investing in and renovating homes, overseeing rental properties, and working closely with investors. Alongside my professional path, I’ve been actively involved with the Realtor organization at the local, state, and national levels, advocating for homeownership and advancing our industry, ultimately serving as 2023 President of the 14,000 member Atlanta Realtors Association. It’s been a wonderful journey and I am excited for whats to come.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
After 15 years in the business, I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on my journey. I started in 2010, right in the middle of the recession, which was a challenge from day one. But the skills and resilience I built during those tough times prepared me well as the market shifted throughout the mid-2010s. Real estate is a constantly changing and evolving industry, but our core mission has always remained the same: to understand our clients’ needs and add value to every aspect of our relationship. Staying on top of industry trends, maintaining consistent service, and adapting to change have been essential.
The road has been far from smooth. Early on, the biggest hurdle was navigating a challenging market where resources and buyer confidence were low. As the market stabilized, the demands shifted—keeping up with emerging technology, changing client expectations, and fluctuating market dynamics brought new challenges. Despite these struggles, each phase helped me refine my approach, stay agile, and strengthen my commitment to clients, ensuring they have the best experience in any market.
