Michael is CEO of Altos ResearchCorp.

Altos Research monitors real estate markets in real-time. Our customers include real estate professionals, investors, and home buyers and sellers.

Real estate analysis tends to be old data and regional in nature, and not very usable for making decisions. So our company built the technology that analyzes the market as it is right now in very local markets all over the country so you have actionable information.

Mike co-founded Altos Research in 2005 and serves as the company’s CEO. He has nearly 15 years experience with software product management, development and marketing of enterprise applications, networking, and security products. In developing the Altos product offerings he applied his expertise in analytical systems development to a personal interest in the real estate market.
