Meet Michael Swanson

Michael Swanson is a top agent in Illinois—and for a good reason. Having grown up in Hinsdale and now raising his boys in there alongside his business partner and wife Sarah Buddig Swanson, he is an area expert. For the past decade, Michael has primarily focused on serving Chicago and its western suburbs, as he loves the city’s vibrant energy and the family-oriented vibe of its communities.

After graduating from Miami University in Ohio and majoring in marketing at the Farmer School of Business, Michael started in real estate at Coldwell Banker. He spent a decade there before later joining Compass alongside his wife. 

Michael and Sarah quickly expanded their business and are now proud to serve their clients better by being in two places at once! Michael is exceedingly proud of how well he and his wife work together, and it gives their clients confidence to see them as a united front.

Hard-working and loyal, Michael is dedicated to his craft and providing his clients with top-tier customer service. Every day is different, and no two clients are the same. It is that variety that keeps the job engaging and exciting. Because every real estate transaction is unique, Michael ensures he tailors the experience to each specific person. 

Michael’s clients consider him to be caring, organized, and direct. He advises them not only on their current needs but their future ones as well. He puts their best interests first, always. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer, a young family, or an empty nester, Michael will work with you. He’s open to people from all living situations. When working with city clients, he draws from experience from his years living downtown; plus, he has the advantage of having grown up in Hinsdale to benefit his suburban clients.

When he isn’t working, Michael likes to play golf. He eagerly awaits the day that his sons—Michael and Charlie—are old enough to start learning the game!
