| RE/MAX Real Estate Group
Meet Michael Atkinson
As a lifelong Cleveland resident, Northeast Ohio has always been home to me. After graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder in 1989, I returned to Cleveland and began my real estate career in 1990. What started as a career quickly became a lifelong passion for helping people navigate one of life's most important financial decisions.
Today, with more than 35 years of experience, I'm proud to serve as a Broker Associate with RE/MAX Real Estate Group. Throughout my career, I've helped buyers and sellers across Northeast Ohio navigate changing markets, negotiate successful transactions, and achieve their real estate goals. I've been honored with the RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement Awards, but the relationships I've built and the trust my clients place in me remain my greatest accomplishments.
My approach to real estate has always been straightforward: provide honest advice, communicate consistently, negotiate aggressively on behalf of my clients, and personally oversee the details that matter. While the real estate industry has changed tremendously since 1990, my commitment to exceptional service has never changed.
Outside of real estate, family has always been at the center of my life. My wife, Marcie, and our three children, Timothy, Kevin, and Kathleen, are a tremendous source of pride and support. I'm especially excited to begin sharing my experience with Kevin as he starts his own real estate career.
Experience You Can Count On. Results You Can Trust.

A Family Tradition in Real Estate
One of the most rewarding developments in my career has been the opportunity to begin working alongside my son, Kevin Atkinson.
Kevin earned his Ohio real estate license in 2026 and is currently finishing his college education at the University of Dayton. Over the past several months, he's been gaining firsthand experience working with me and learning the importance of client relationships, market knowledge, and attention to detail.
As Kevin prepares to take a more active role in the business, I'm looking forward to combining my decades of experience with his fresh perspective and enthusiasm for real estate.
For me, it's about more than continuing a business. It's about passing along the values of integrity, hard work, and personal service that have guided my career for more than three decades.
