Author Information

For two decades, I've been blessed to live my passion as a professional Realtor, helping my clients buy, sell, and invest in real estate. Along with my wife, Jessica, I cofounded The Wolf Real Estate Team in 2006. Together, it has been our commitment to support our clients with accurate information and knowledge that will help them make good choices with their investments.In working with many of our first-time homebuyers, I was compelled to help offer them the information they need to make good decisions and avoid pitfalls when buying their first home. Back in 2010, I published the first edition of The First Time Homebuyer Book to help guide first-time homebuyers through the biggest purchase decision of their lives. Over the years, it has become apparent that learning how to protect and grow that investment can be challenging, as well. I've also written The First Time Home Investor Book, which helps homeowners and investors grow their wealth through investment real estate. It was created to share investment information and offer the critically important steps to becoming financially independent for the first-time investor. Im excited to share a new 3rd edition of the First Time Home Buyer Book with important updates to today's market challenges for all buyers looking to purchase their first home. Writing these books for our clients and serving on multiple committees within the local San Diego Associations has been an important outlet to give back to the community, help the next wave of homebuyers and homeownership in this country, and usher in a fresh and positive perspective on the future of real estate. It is so rewarding to empower my clients and offer my expertise and knowledge to them as they build their financial futures. I'm committed to supporting them in all aspects of real estate sales, structuring investments and representing all my buyers and sellers with their residential and investment properties. I believe our future is bright, and I am passionate about doing my part to empower people one relationship at a time. Michael Wolf and his wife Jessica Wolf run the Wolf Real Estate Team, a top-selling and industry leading real estate group headquartered in San Diego. He has 2 amazing children, Benjamin & Siena, and spends his time with family when not grinding out real estate deals for buyer and seller clients.find out more: https: //thefirsttimehomebuyerbook.comhttps: //michaeljwolf.nethttps: //www.linkedin.com/in/mikewolfrealtor
