Michael Smith

Principal, operator, development executive. 30,000+ units, $15B+ in value. The owner's side of the table.

Book a session

I have spent most of my career on the principal and development side of real estate, across roughly 30,000 residential units and more than $15 billion in development value. That work spans large mixed-use districts, institutional multi-family platforms, seniors housing, and branded residential, with the legal, planning, and entitlement work underneath all of it. I have sat on the sides of the table that matter: principal, operator, and owner's advisor. When we talk, you get that lens directly and unfiltered.

1:1 Strategy Session

A full hour for the conversation that does not fit in thirty minutes. We map something end to end: a development strategy from land through capital through delivery, the case for a senior role and the narrative to win it, or how a platform, partnership, or career should be structured over the next few years. We go wide, then deep. You leave with a direction, not just an opinion.

1:1 Video Call

Thirty minutes on the one thing that matters most right now. Bring a single question: a deal you are structuring, an entitlement path you are trying to read, a role you are weighing, or a thesis you want pressure-tested. You get the operator's version, not the textbook one. Best for people who already know the question and want an experienced read from someone who has built at scale before they move.
