A Southern California native, Mike Shenkman has a career that has spanned over two decades and has included training, development and managing broker roles within some of the most prominent real estate companies throughout Southern California. In addition to his work in sales and management, Mike has experience in affordable housing, community development, property management, redevelopment, and mortgage finance. He regularly acts as a consultant for land use planning and has served as an expert witness in trials regarding real estate disputes. 

Mike is an Alumnus of UC San Diego, where he completed his Bachelor’s in both Sociology and Urban Studies & Planning – graduating Cum Laude with High Distinction Honors. He would subsequently complete a Master’s in Planning (MPL), a Master’s in Public Administration (MPA), and a Graduate Certification in Political Management from USC. In 2021, Mike returned to UC San Diego as a professor for Real Estate Development majors in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning.

He is an active participant with the San Diego Association of Realtors (SDAR) as a regular instructor for agents at all levels of their career. He is a member of the SDAR Board of Directors, the current chair of the REALTOR Political Action Committee (RPAC), the former Vice-Chair of Government Affairs, and a current member of committees including Education, Grievance, and the Young Professionals Network (YPN). In 2022 he was honored to receive the San Diego REALTOR of the year award. 

He has worked on real estate legislative policy for the City & County of San Diego, and most recently advised on COVID policies for various municipalities throughout the State of California. He currently holds designations for Buyers Representation (ABR), Short Sale & Foreclosure (SFR), Property Management (PMC), International Property (CIPS) and Military Relocation (MRP).

"5 STAR REVIEW: Mike is amazing. So responsive, knowledgeable, and personable. Our family worked with him through the purchase of green different homes since 2007, and if we are ever in the market again he would be the one we go to for guidance."

"5 STAR REVIEW: Mike’s expert knowledge in real estate is simply unmatched by anyone. He was efficient, professional and 100% committed. He was able to successfully negotiate an agreement on the very first offer we made on a home. (Even though, we were one of ten other offers and not the highest bid.) Most importantly, he was able to guide us and sincerely took time to educate us on the process. I give Mike my highest recommendation. If you are seriously looking to purchase a property in San Diego county. Mikes the person to call. Hands down."

"5 STAR REVIEW: I have worked with Mike Shenkman on numerous real estate transactions over the past 15 years, from acquisitions/dispositions, property management, unlawful detainer actions, need for legislative guidance (I.e. Covid regs), and community-based policy issues. His vigor and work ethic is unmatched, and I can’t think of a single professional in the industry across SoCal (and beyond, frankly) that I can trust more with my business. I’ve come to him with multi-million dollar projects and high-stakes legislative issues, and smaller, first home purchases, and time and again, he puts in the same level of unwavering dedication and personal consideration across the board. He’s a charismatic fast talker and deal worker, and naturally displays the utmost old-school integrity of generations long gone. I’ve worked with several real estate professionals on both sides of the deal, but I ONLY trust Mike with my clients and personal investments. No wonder he was named best in the business "

"5 STAR REVIEW: We can't thank Mike enough for his guidance and experience. Buying a home for the first time is exciting and also completely overwhelming. He was able to guide and more importantly educate us through the entire process. We relied on Mike's experience to help us negotiate a fair price and protect our interests. The deluge of questions that we had were always answered in a timely and personable manner. This was much appreciated. We love our new place and have Mike to thank."
