Michael Fay - Chairman, U.S. Capital Markets Group, Avison Young
What does it take to shape a city’s skyline and close nearly $17 billion in transactions? In this episode, we sit down with Michael over an Old Fashioned to talk about his four-decade journey in commercial real estate.
Michael’s path wasn’t always smooth—he went from riding the short bus in middle school to becoming a powerhouse dealmaker, playing a key role in Miami’s transformation. His expertise spans capital markets, REO (Real Estate Owned) and note sales, and strategic planning for major corporate real estate accounts.
We dive into market trends, the art of uncovering hidden opportunities, and why South Florida remains an investment magnet. Plus, Michael breaks down the mindset behind long-term success in the industry—because it’s never just about the numbers.
Tune in, pour yourself a drink, and get ready for some serious insights.
