The Michael J. Maher story: In a few short years, Michael has launched from a successful teaching career to a phenomenal real estate career. After doing $7.1 million in volume in his first full-time year, Michael proceeded to almost triple his business to $19.1 in his second year, and then soared to an astonishing $40.1 million in volume in just his third year of business, 2004! He has remained in the Top 25 Residential Real Estate Agents (Business Journal) ever since. Even more impressive is that over 85% of his team's business comes from referrals. Called America's Most Referred Real Estate Professional, Michael and his team receive over 500 referrals per year. Remember, these are Kansas City numbers!

He has been interviewed and recognized by the top real estate trainers in the world: Howard Brinton, Joe Stumpf, Bill Hart, Jim Sahnger at Loan Tool Box, Wells Fargo (only agent to ever be introduced by them), and David Knox. Broker*Agent Magazine has chosen Michael twice in the last two years as their Broker*Agent of the Month. Broker*Agent (twice) & The Real Estate Executive have made Michael their cover story. He has rapidly transcended his role as real estate professional to become known as a servant leader and savvy businessman in Kansas City.

Michael served as Class Representative and also graduated with a perfect 4.0 while getting his MBA at a private midwestern university. Interviews & articles upon request. A nationally-recognized speaker, he has spoken at many Associations (KCRAR, Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors, Illinois Association of Realtors, Missouri Association of Realtors, and Kansas Association of Realtors).
