Michael Sharp knows a thing or two about “the edge.” To him, it’s a state of mind, an aura of independence and individuality. It’s about boundless energy and limitless opportunity.

Michael is the son of hard-working parents, growing up being instilled with the philosophy that you have to take risks and that no one can hold you back from your dreams.

“My parents always told me that anything is possible,” Michael says, and he found this to be true early in life. When he was about 10 years old, he remembered visiting the many properties his parents would buy as “fixer-uppers” and watching them restore these into something of lasting value. He recalled helping out by performing simple tasks like lugging around cans of paint or cleaning up, but it was how the houses were transformed into “homes” that left a lasting impression on Michael.

To this day, Michael carries the same energy and enthusiasm for houses that he displayed for five decades. They marked his first exposure to the exciting world of real estate, and he was totally hooked.

As a leading Twin Cities real estate professional for 50 years, there’s no doubting Michael’s devotion to his career. Begun at the tender age of 22, Michael was forced to prove himself at every turn. But with a spirit of determination like Michael’s, that was never a problem.

“I saw real estate as a career with no limits,” he says. “I’ve always been one to push myself, and my philosophy is that you achieve a goal and move on to bigger and better things. I guess you could say I’m a very driven person.”

For Michael, whether he’s working in his career or enjoying his favorite pastimes, he’s never been one to settle for second best. That’s one reason why he feels such a strong connection to his native Minneapolis.

“Minneapolis has truly grown into a dynamic first-rate city,” he says. A self-described “detail-oriented” person, Michael is an enthusiast of fine dining, the arts and the Twin Cities’ growing rich cultural base.

A lifetime of local knowledge. A strong work ethic displayed his entire life. A background in new home construction. The vision to help you make the most of your home sale or purchase. And the highest level of service from start to finish. When you put it all together, it adds up to “the edge.”
