Michael Slate

Founder / Realtor®

Get to Know Me

Michael Slate is practically a Palm Springs native. His love affair with the desert has been in overdrive since moving to the Coachella Valley 2001. Although born and raised in a small Texas town, home is where the heart is, and Michael’s thrives in this beautiful California desert.
 
Michael found his start in real estate in 2013. Before becoming an agent, Michael worked in Palm Springs’ busiest locally-owned restaurants, where he was exposed to the community on a daily basis. During this period, Michael carved out relationships with many local personalities, so when it came time to make the jump into real estate, the transition was seamless.
 
Michael understands one thing very well: Living in the desert isn’t just a stroll through downtown; it’s a lifestyle. From the perfectly positioned swimming pool to having the hot tip on a hidden bar, Palm Springs is all about the experience. Now with hundreds of homes sold, Michael relies on his experience and a skill set grounded in impeccable communication to fuel his momentum and create success for his clients.
 
In addition to being one of the desert’s top producers, Michael has spoken on several panels across Southern California, giving his real estate secrets away to the most eager in the room. He has a podcast called The Struggle is Really, Really Real. Microcontent can be found on his dynamic social media pages, and full-length videos are available for streaming on YouTube. Between Michael’s devotion to his clients, wife, and five kids ranging in ages 4, 6. 14, 20, and 21... life is never dull.

What My Clients Say
This 5 star review on Michael Slate is well deserved and long over due! My husband and I ran into Michael when he was relatively new to the real estate world and also moon lighting as a server at Tropical. We exchanged small talk as he asked if we were locals or visitors. We were visitors at the time and explained that we hoped to move here in 4 – 5 years. Michael gave us his card and said if we ever nee...

What My Clients Say
I decided to list my house with Michael because of his energy, his enthusiasm for the space, and the understanding he demonstrated of my motivations as well as the house’s unique opportunities (and challenges). He was always pleasant to work with, professional, perseverant, optimistic, and calm. Glad to add my name to his ever growing list of satisfied client

What My Clients Say
Michael and his team did a wonderful job with the sale of our home. They are professional, caring, and positive. Our home was difficult, but Michael and his team pulled through and made the sale happen. I would recommend Michael for any sale or purchase of a home. Thank you for all your hard work!

What My Clients Say
Michael Slate did an amazing job representing me and was knowledgeable of the market and current trends. Highly recommend him for all real estate needs!

— Levon A.

What My Clients Say
We worked with Michael Slate, and had an amazing experience. On top of being a great guy, Michael put in so much time and effort to get our house sold. Even after we fell out of escrow because of buyers with cold feet, Michael did not slow down his marketing, or give up… he tried even harder to find us the perfect buyer! P.S Neil Huvsar with Team Michael Slate is also the best. Along with Michael, Neil w...

What My Clients Say
Michael Slate was awesome! He always brought good energy when showing me homes and his lively spirit stayed positive and driven. He definitely made my first home buying experience a great memory! I look forward to working with them again soon for a second purchase!

— Raquel G.

What My Clients Say
For many years I have visited Palm Springs and dreamed of possibly living here. I was born and raised in CA and moved to Colorado in 1993. As the years went by I would visit and feel a pull to the desert. I could never seem to find the right time or the right home to make the move. One day I stumbled upon a post on Facebook about Palm Canyon Mobile Club and the new homes coming in to the park. Paul Kapla...

What My Clients Say
We worked with Michael Slate (adore), who helped find our home up on Joshua Tree. It’s a tough market up in the high desert as homes go quick! Michael was patient, took a lot of time driving from Palm Springs to JT to walkthrough homes, and in the end, we found the perfect pad to make an Airbnb rental property. Strongly recommend asking for Michael. He’s kind, funny, knows his stuff (and handsome too!).

— David D.

What My Clients Say
Not all mid-century homes are created (or renovated) equal, and Michael immediately identified what made our Alexander special — and then capitalized on it to find a knowledgeable buyer who made us an offer a few days before our home even hit the market. I can’t imagine anyone who could have made the process smoother, or gotten us better results. Responsive, responsible, intelligent, personable, graceful...

What My Clients Say
My wife and I had the pleasure of recently purchasing a mid century home in Palm Springs with Neil Husvar and Michael Slate. As foreign buyers they were fantastic in taking the time to make sure we were informed, understood the process and even acted as our eyes and ears on the ground when we were unable to be in Palm Springs. We can confidently say that the only reason we actually went ahead with the pu...

— Matt P.

What My Clients Say
Michael presents himself very professionally, and the promotional materials on our house were well prepared. He and his staff are good about responding promptly to questions and requests. We were pleased by the traffic through our house, and it sold within a reasonable time frame.
