Biography

David is the author of three books: "Power Marketing for Luxury Real Estate," '"Winning Listing Presentations, for life," and, for consumers, "Getting the Highest Price: Power Marketing for luxury homeowners." He speaks/trains on marketing and selling luxury and global real estate. He shares 30 years of experience having sold some of the largest, most prestigious homes in America.

He was named by Inman News as one of the "100 most influential people in real estate." He has been called a visionary (see "David Michonski" in Google) who leads by articulating a clear vision and how we can get there. His audiences say they were not just highly informed but entertained and moved to different paradigms. David challenges everyone to envision things they never thought of. Most recently he spoke at the National Association of Realtors Annual Convention in Anaheim, CA (Nov, 2011) and as the keynoter at the Leaders in Luxury annual conclave at the Ritz Carlton, Laguna Miguel, CA. He also is keynoting at the Resort and Second Home Symposium in Charleston, SC in March 2012.

David has spoken all over the US and in China, Singapore, Korea, Greece, Sweden, Poland and now Kenya. Thus, he brings to luxury sales and marketing a uniquely international perspective. Agents quickly connect to his practical strategies and techniques borne of 30 years in the living rooms of America's wealthy and from thousands of listing presentations,

David has been on CNBC, CNN, MSNBC, the "Today Show" on NBC and "Good Morning America" on ABC. He has appeared on PBS and is quoted in hundreds of press articles (See "David Michonski" on Google).

Specialties
While David speaks to luxury real estate and global marketing, he cleverly uses the luxury market with its legendary lack of urgency to act, as a laboratory for agents to learn about how to overcome that same lack of urgency in the broader mass market. Thus, his presentations are for all real estate agents, especially for those seeking to move up to a higher average price point. Dynamic in his presentations, he was named "Instructor of the year" by the National Association of Realtors in 2005 and named one of the "Top Ten Realtors in the US" by Today's Realtor Magazine. Through his seminars, speaking and writing, he helps others to build their luxury and international marketing careers whether a rookie or a pro.
