About
Michael Sutton

Respected longtime Los Altos Realtor and former General Contractor Michael Sutton guides Bay Area Buyers and Sellers to maximize their profits from their home sale through cost-effective market preparation to attract today’s buyers. Backed by Christie's International Real Estate exposure and as a real estate agent based in Los Altos, Michael is conveniently located between his Peninsula and South Bay clients.

Known for strong communication and keeping his clients in the know, his top-tier negotiating, and aligning with today’s buyers, his unparalleled marketing consistently drives record prices, which is reflected in his numerous all-5-star client reviews.

Sellers receive an unprecedented ROI-focused marketing-prep plan. He has perfected his multi-platform marketing including airing his listings on The American Dream TV show, which sets him apart. To align with today’s buyers, my state of the art marketing consistently drives record prices, which is consistently reflected in his past-client reviews.

Buyers utilize my contractor-insight into upgrade feasibility and long-term costs. In a market where competition is high and multiple offers are common, my trusted relationships with fellow agents give my clients a strategic advantage because of their offer being accepted.

He’s built strong relationships (think behind the scenes) with fellow agents, giving his clients a distinct competitive advantage (dare I say unfair advantage?!). His clients have continual access to off-market properties, that often don’t even hit the MLS.

His diligence in anticipating his clients' needs, explaining every step of the transaction, and responding quickly to calls & emails has gained him a reputation for making each buyer and seller feel as if they were his only client.

Sellers receive an unprecedented ROI-focused prep plan, high-end staging, and multi-platform marketing—including features on The American Dream TV show—that consistently drive record prices and earn rave client reviews.

 

FUN FACTS ABOUT MICHAEL

I grew up in Los Altos and I’m still here! How unusual for the Bay Area I know. My wife, Shelly Potvin, has been a top producing Realtor for 25+ years and Host of the Emmy- nominated national TV show, Silicon Valley Unlocked.

We have two boys, Wynter & Wyatt, both in high school. I’m so lucky to be their dad. Other than loving all things real estate…..

Fly Fishing Enthusiast
I’m passionate about the outdoors and especially love spending time in the Sierras. Some of my favorite places are around our cabin in Arnold & Mammoth Lakes.

Car Racing
SCCA for over 25+ years and a garage filled with trophies. I have taught driving skills at Sears Points and many Auto X schools.

BBQ Pit Master
I’ve competed in several KCBS sanctioned BBQ events throughout California. Brisket and pulled pork are my specialties. I offer my ultra-popular classes for charity fundraisers, which sell out instantly. I love to talk BBQ, so never hesitate to call for advice. Seriously, anytime. Even while cooking!

TV Show: Silicon Valley Unlocked
I have an on-going BBQ segment. I am also able to feature your home on the show for unparalleled exposure.
