Hi, I'm Michael Turwitt. Welcome to my profile!

Michael Turwitt's Bio:

An expert in high quality homes and luxury properties, Michael Turwitt is devoted to serving the needs of real estate buyers and sellers throughout the North-East Florida region, including Nassau, Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Flagler, and Putnam Counties, from Amelia Island, Jacksonville Metropolitan Area, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, to Palm Coast.   Michael is an accomplished individual who brings a strategic yet personable approach to the home buying and home selling process. Drawing from years of experience as a successful entrepreneur, he has built a reputation for his refreshingly friendly customer care, unique marketing approach, and proven ability to guide buyers to obtain the best value for their dream home and to assist sellers to a smooth, stress-free sale of their property.   Michael obtained an engineering degree from TAC University and an MBA from the BFW International Business School. He then specialized in high value asset marketing, becoming an expert in branding, commercialization, bringing to market high-end premium capital assets, and the subtle art of negotiating property sales and purchases. Now he brings his passion and sharp attention to detail to help buyers in a highly focused search for their new homes and to help sellers get the most value for their properties.   Michael Turwitt is a renowned entrepreneur and he sold high value property assets for hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of his career. His largest single sale was a very complex deal of $ 75 million. High-end developers, executives, project and property owners located in many countries have consistently relied on Michael’s broad expertise in transactions ranging from luxury investments, commercial dealings to major industrial developments. He is a sought-after speaker, panelist and educator at industry conferences. UNF (the University of Northern Florida) invited Michael to be a member of their International Business Advisory Council. He has been cited as an expert in many publications and TV broadcasts.   Michael belongs to the group of successful trendsetting agents and is a recognized expert known for his creative use of technology, sales expertise and marketing techniques. He is associated and works with Xcellence Realty, a large real estate and brokerage firm with more than 450 agents headquartered in Miami.   Given his background and high-profile persona, many are surprised to find Michael warm and down-to-earth, with an uncanny ability to connect with them on a personal level. Michael’s very first multimillion-dollar transaction was a deal with a prominent investor from Saudi Arabia. Since then, he has been conducting transactions involving some big names in public life including government. Though these illustrious and influential circles have been the backbone of his clientele, Michael has always welcomed all types of clients. "No matter the price range I'm working in, it's a tremendous pleasure helping someone buy or sell their home and fulfill their dreams."   Michael is married and has two children. He grew up in Western Germany, lived in Scandinavia, Great Britain, Argentina as well as Brazil, and found his permanent home in sunny Florida 20 years ago. He works very closely with his wife Christine, who is a specialist in design, decoration and home beautification. Michael speaks five languages, obtained a commercial pilot license and enjoys spending time with his wife, entertaining their friends, traveling and relaxing at their residence in St. Augustine, FL, the oldest city in the nation.   Visit Michael's Main Website and other Profiles at:   http://www.turwitt.com http://www.turwitt.realtor http://linkedin.com/in/michaelturwitt http://facebook.com/mturwitt
