About Michael Badeaux

Bringing high level attention to detail and professionalism to the realm of real estate. Do not settle for the norm, think and LIVE outside the box.

I joined the Wilkinson & Associates/ERA team in 2014 mainly due to the Quality team members, Agency's forward plan, and impressed by the technological advantages over the competition when it comes to the available Real Estate Tools to help their clients.

My niche in the Real Estate market comes from my background as an Engineer. Some of my strengths are my attention to detail, my out of the box vision for spaces for staging and remodeling, and perhaps most importantly my focus on communication.

I understand both sides of buying and selling real estate. Being an engineer, I am also accustomed to meeting lots of demands helping the picky buyer and/or seller navigate the market. I enjoy the challenges of understanding a buyer's needs and wants to find their next home and enjoy studying the market to get the best market price for a reasonable seller.
