The son of a former top real estate agent, Michael Conner was destined for the industry. Born and raised in Chicago, he moved to Michigan City two decades ago in anticipation of growth in the region. Now a Chicago resident once again, he happily commutes to Laporte and Berrien counties to bring his unique flair and white-glove service to the area’s residents.

Technology is a significant driver of Conner’s business as he specializes in second and multifamily home sales. “The speed at which information travels is impressive,” he reflects. “The broker’s job is to complete the picture with the local expertise required to make a great purchase.” Unique to Conner is his level-three assessor/appraiser credential. With it, he is able to assist clients with the nuances of real estate tax assessments to lower their liability.

Still, he attributes his client-first posture and skill in relationship building as pivotal to his success. Each client interaction with Conner is personal and purposeful. In fact, because of his warmth and business acumen, clients often inquire about whether he has ever considered running for mayor. Conner works side-by-side with his wife of 20 years. As a result, his clients reap the benefit of multiple complementary business styles in one team, enjoying his laid-back approach in tandem with his team’s market vigilance.

Conner has successfully found the balance necessary to manage personal and professional projects while maintaining his status as a top broker. A supporter of financial literacy programs for Michigan City middle schools, he is a committed professional who believes in the active role of the broker. In his spare time, he enjoys cycling around the local park and snowboarding in northern Michigan.
