About Michael Hanson

Hi, I’m Michael Hanson, and I’m passionate about helping people find the perfect place to call home.

Originally from Jamaica, I moved to the U.S. at age 13 and have been fortunate to travel across the country, developing a deep appreciation for diverse communities and lifestyles. I spent 20 years in Las Vegas, where my wife, Michelle, and I raised our two daughters, and for the past 10 years, I’ve proudly called Ocala, Florida home.

Before transitioning into real estate, I built a successful 30+ year career in the restaurant industry. I opened and coached top-performing Applebee’s locations, helping them grow into thriving, high-performing businesses. I also owned and operated my own award-winning restaurant, Buzz-BBQ, in Las Vegas, where my team and I earned multiple accolades for outstanding food and exceptional service.

These experiences taught me the value of hard work, integrity, compassion, and, most importantly, building strong relationships. Those same principles now guide my approach to real estate.

I believe buying or selling a home is far more than a transaction, it’s a major life milestone. My goal is to make the process smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free by offering clear communication, expert negotiation, and a personal, hands-on approach. I’m outgoing, personable, and deeply committed to ensuring my clients feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way.

When I’m not helping clients achieve their real estate goals, you’ll find me swimming, golfing, or biking, activities that keep me active and connected with people from all walks of life.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, searching for your forever home, or ready to sell, I’m here to guide you with enthusiasm, professionalism, and genuine care. Let’s make your real estate goals a reality, reach out today, and let’s get started.
