Michael has been in real estate for over 24 years and has helped more than 8,000 families buy and sell homes across Metro Detroit. He founded The Perna Team in 2010 and has grown it into one of the most productive residential real estate teams in Michigan, consistently closing over $200 million annually.

A Farmington Hills native, Michael got his real estate license at 20 and bought his first home the same year. He built his business the hard way, survived the 2008 crash, and came out the other side with a team and systems designed to serve clients at the highest level.

When he's not leading the team, Michael is a serious runner who has completed the Detroit Free Press Marathon 16 years in a row and is working toward finishing all six Abbott World Marathon Majors. He's also a self-proclaimed nerd who loves fantasy novels, board games, and the occasional Star Wars debate.
