Michael Valdes

Michael was born in Tampa, FL and has lived all over the Tampa Bay area his entire life. He first got into the real estate industry working for large corporations such as JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, which included doing corporate relocation, loan origination and customer retention for Fortune 500 company executives. Michael developed a serious background in mortgages and the lending industry.

Michael then went out on his own, became self employed and started a mortgage company in Tampa. After being bought out and a few years as a mortgage broker, Michael then decided to go become a Tampa Bay Realtor and joined Keller Williams Realty where he has been full time ever since.

Michael started his own real estate team about a year after joining KW and also created the high ranking and very popular www.FlaPropertyFinder.com website which has generated real estate prospects from over 130 countries and territories worldwide!
