Michael got his initial taste of real estate in law school when he started a rental home company with one of his professors. The company provided housing to recovering addicts in collaboration with the organization Oxford House, Inc. Michael began his career as a mergers and acquisition attorney, helping oil and gas clients through a wide range of transactions, and made the move to a real estate development company where he served as Associate General Counsel and Broker. There he had the privilege to work for a great mentor at a diverse company, where he honed his skills in completing both residential and commercial transactions and developments. In 2017, Michael established FIG Real Estate, headquartered in the Houston Heights, in order to channel his zeal for his profession and community. He has assembled a unique team of Houston realtors focused on helping clients navigate the real estate process.
