Michael's Recommendations
I had the chance to work with Michael at CoStar and considered him a mentor over the years - and always enjoyed our time together, as well as his insight and strategies. When the chance came up to work together at Buxton, I jumped. I got to see a different side working with him and the team to grow a business segment, and appreciated his thoughtful manner of leadership and guidance - as well as his sharp wit and humor. Should another chance arise to work together - I'd once again jump at the opportunity. Tactical and pragmatic leaders in sales are rare - Michael is one.

Michael is a strong leader. He brings a very personable and customized approach to his management style. I’ve known and had the pleasure to both work with and work for Michael and would recommend him as a leader or senior member of any sales team.
