Michael Jin

Michael has called the Bay Area his home for almost 30 years and is intimately familiar with these communities.

Michael began his career as an Engineer before moving into roles in Management Consulting, Program Management, Business Strategy, and Finance. He discovered his passion for helping others in real estate after buying his first townhome in San Jose. He went through the buying process essentially by himself, and was frustrated by all the home buying nuances he was unaware of. This motivated him to make sure others didn’t have to go their real estate endeavors alone.

Michael has since helped dozens of clients with both buying and selling properties and specializes in new construction home purchases. With client satisfaction at the forefront of his service expectations, he has created a vast network of experts to help renovate, update, and stage homes to showcase them in the best possible way. Michael is also extremely tech savvy, using the latest platforms and tools to ensure his clients to grow and scale his business.

In his spare time, you can find Michael at Orangetheory fitness, golfing at San Jose Muni, in the kitchen whipping up a new recipe, or wine tasting in Cupertino.
