About Michael A. Fitch Sr I was raised in Baltimore with 3 siblings. As a child, I had aspirations of being an entrepreneur. Never in a million years did I think I would ever stumble into the real estate industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life.

So that’s what I did working my first job at the age of 12 sweeping, cleaning and emptying trash for TV repair shop. I worked hard. As the years went by, little olé me aka Mikey worked my way from American TV to a gas tender and auto mechanic apprentice, never wavering in full resolve to become the best version of myself with each career move. I decided to get into the real estate industry 26 years ago when I was going to night school for business and working days as a production line supervisor in a packaging plant. Every Friday I would open my paycheck envelope and think there is more to life than this. I had children, and wanted to treat them better than the conditions allowed at the time. I wanted to help people, that needed it as I did. One day I saw an ad to become a Real Estate Agent. The light came on! The opportunity to make a living my family so deserved as well as being in the position to help others fulfill a dream was right in front of me! As my real estate career advanced, I found my stride working with 1st time home buyers and sellers in the residential market, most needing extra care in a challenging environment. I did this by design thinking about the opportunity to gain far more knowledge and possibly become a expert through hard work. I was correct! Utilizing core values to the fullest, I became the top
