Before you trust someone with your home, it helps to know who they are. So rather than write it all down, I’d rather just talk to you.
Intro video coming soon — Michael’s 90-second welcome will play here.
I’m Michael — a Bradford man, born and bred. Before the “For Sale” boards and the valuations, I’m a husband and a dad, and the same person on a Sunday morning as I am on a Tuesday viewing. I believe selling a home is a personal thing, so I keep my business personal too: a deliberately small number of homes, looked after by me, from first hello to final completion.
I started out because I was frustrated by how the big agencies treat people — like a number on a target sheet. I wanted to do it the opposite way. Fewer clients, more care, and an honest answer even when it isn’t the one you were hoping for.
The night eXp UK named me Best Newcomer — recognition for building something a bit different: a boutique, personal agency that puts service before volume. There’s a second award since then; both are at the bottom of this page.
My kids keep me grounded — and remind me every home is somebody's family.
A partner in life and in the business; we do this as a team.
Bradford born and bred. I sell the streets I actually live on.
Never far from my four-legged sidekick — walks are where I do my best thinking.
The one who does your viewings and answers your calls — personally.
Family comes first for me — everything I do around work is built so I can still be there for the school run and the weekends. That’s exactly why I understand what moving means to your family: it isn’t a transaction, it’s the next chapter.
I know these streets because I live on them. When I tell a buyer about the walk to the park, the good school catchment or the quiet end of the road, it’s because I’ve been there — not because I read it on a listing.
“Selling a home is about people first. Get that right and the result follows.”
Whether you’re ready to move or just weighing it up, I’m always happy to talk it through — no pressure, no jargon.
I didn’t set out to win anything — I set out to sell homes properly. So being recognised twice, by the industry and by Yorkshire, means an enormous amount. The real measure is still a happy seller and a smooth completion, but I’d be lying if I said these weren’t on the wall.

eXp is one of the largest estate agency networks in the world, and Best Newcomer recognises the strongest start made by an agent joining it. I started from nothing — no high-street office, no inherited client list, just a phone, a camera and a promise to do this properly. Being picked out in my first year still hasn’t quite sunk in.

The Prestige Awards celebrate independent businesses across Yorkshire — the ones competing on craft and service rather than sheer size. To be named the county’s best independent estate agent, as a one-man agency up against firms many times my size, is genuinely humbling.
