Michael Santos
About
My name is Michael Santos, and I am a real estate professional serving Montclair, NJ and the surrounding areas with a reputation for being reliable, detail-oriented, and highly client-focused. With over seven years of business ownership in town and 27 years as an educator in the Montclair school district, I bring a strong blend of local market knowledge, leadership, and service to every client relationship. My background as a former contractor and property investor—including managing renovations, general contracting projects, and flipping homes—gives me a trained eye for construction quality, design, and value potential. I leverage my hands-on experience as a property manager and landlord to help buyers, sellers, and investors make confident, well-informed decisions while navigating residential and investment opportunities with clarity and care.
I bring an entrepreneurial mindset to real estate, supported by years of operating successful local businesses, including owning and managing the nail salon POLISHED in Montclair. My career as a Physical Education teacher has strengthened my communication, organization, and problem-solving abilities, allowing me to guide clients with patience, transparency, and strong advocacy. Combined with project management experience, negotiation skills, and a customer-focused approach, I strive to create a smooth and rewarding real estate experience from start to finish. Outside of real estate, I enjoy wellness and recreational athletics such as basketball, volleyball, and golf, along with traveling, working with my hands, and maintaining an active, fitness-centered lifestyle.
