Mike began his real estate career in 2014 with Keller and Associates Real Estate, starting in residential before transitioning to industrial and retail properties. By 2017, he had specialized in cannabis-related real estate, helping clients identify compliant properties and lobbying municipalities to adopt ordinances expanding cannabis markets.
As Director of the Michigan Cannabis Development Association (MCDA), he played a key role in lobbying for the Michigan Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act (MMFLA), which established the state’s regulated cannabis market. He later helped launch some of Michigan’s first licensed cannabis facilities—including Provisioning Centers, Processing, and Cultivation sites—and managed a 20,000 SF Cultivation operation as General Manager/Director of Cultivation.
In 2023, Mike joined NAI Farbman Real Estate, focusing on cannabis real estate/businesses in Michigan and other legal markets nationwide, plus traditional commercial real estate properties. His combined experience as a real estate professional and cannabis operator provides clients with a unique, dual perspective that blends transactional expertise with operational insight.
