Michael Porter

Realtor for Ebby Halliday for just over a year. Born and raised Texan who has lived in DFW for just over 8 years and loves everything about it. Real estate has always been his passion and he decided to pursue it in the first quarter of 2021. This year, 2022, he has been recognized as a ‘Rising Star Real Estate Agent’ by Five Star Professionals and been named one of the top producers in his office more than once.
 
He is an Army Veteran whom, after being honorably discharged from the military, earned an undergraduate degree in engineering and a master’s degree in business. His corporate work focused on statistics, analysis, and business intelligence but he felt a passion for real estate and now uses those skills for his clients.
 
He has bought and sold multiple homes as a civilian and as a soldier and wants his clients to learn from his experiences, good and bad. The most powerful tool an agent has is the information that his clients do not have, and it is the realtor’s job to fill in the gaps of knowledge to make every transaction as smooth as possible. This is what Michael does every one of his clients.
