Michael Macdonald, July, 2024

English is not my first language and presentation in a group setting is a very challenging task for me. I find public speaking in my work very essential. I may have the degree and knowledge about my job but if I am not able to convey my ideas well and being understood by my colleagues, I will not achieve the best results expected of me. I find Mike so helpful and patient in guiding me in improving my communication skills. Mike gives me the morale boost to believe in myself and overcome my fears. THANK YOU MIKE, I will be forever grateful.

Michael has assisted me in developing my business and marketing plans. Michael provides years of experience and manages realtors on how to adapt their best characteristics into new interpersonal skills. He is patient, engaging and learned in his manner. Whether you are new to the business or just someone honing their skills, I would recommend Michael to anyone who is in need of coaching to speak confidently in public, as well as wanting to learn or brush up on their real estate professionalism and expertise.

I have had the pleasure of being mentored by Michael on the first day I got into real estate back in 2007. Michael had diligently introduced various protocols I use to this day. Some of the fundamental lessons I learned from Michael such as calculating risk to disclosure procedures and confronting objections have been pivotal to the success of my business.

I met Michael when my business had hit a plateau and I didn’t know which direction I should be going in order to increase my productivity. Michael was attentive and really took the time to listen and understand what my roadblocks were. Michael even saw things I hadn’t thought about. Placing my trust in Michael was one of the best decisions I made to take my business to the next level.
