About Michael Oliveira

He began his real estate career in Los Angeles, cutting his teeth on the sales of luxury properties in one of the nation’s most competitive markets, even handling a home once belonging to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Now, after several years living in Nashville, he’s quickly made a name for himself as one of the premier real estate agents in the area.

 

His work ethic and major market experience, paired with his mastery of the latest digital marketing tools, intimate knowledge of what buyers, sellers and investors need for a successful transaction, and all-encompassing passion for Middle Tennessee make him a valued advisor and guide for his clients. That background, alongside his longtime business philosophy to always place relationships above transactions, has earned him a wide network of referral and relocation clients. Transactions he’s handled have even appeared in a number of profile publications, from The Nashville Business Journal to The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Michael genuinely loves meeting new people, and considers many of his clients friends. He’s a strong believer in the personal touch needed for successful real estate transactions, and in the power of fostering connections that, eventually, drive dreams and deliver results for his clients. He also knows firsthand how much a home can represent security and peace, as he started his business in 2009, right in the midst of the recession, when the housing crisis was at its peak and foreclosures were hitting record highs. Michael built his business during this time, weathering the crisis to emerge as a more empathetic, creative, and ultimately successful business owner.
 
Away from the office, Michael is most often found in the kitchen or at a new restaurant opening, he’s a dedicated foodie and home chef with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city’s best eateries. He’s also passionate about supporting dog fostering and animal rescue services, with 2 dogs of his own that often accompany him, his wife, Shelby, and their kids Jackson and Scarlett on long walks in the greater Tennessee area.
