Broker Biography
Introduction
Mike Faust first came to First Choice Business Brokers in June of 2005. He came with 10 year's previous experience as a licensed real estate agent, spent in California, primarily as a real estate loan agent. His California State University Northridge B.S. degree in Business Administration with Real Estate Finance & Statistics as areas of special study led to another 10 years’ experience in corporate finance and accounting working as a financial analyst, assistant controller and controller. Born in Kansas and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, Mike has held positions in several different industries including restaurant, auto repair, manufacturing, beverage bottling & distribution, sales and management. He refers to himself as "…a blue collar business broker, more than willing to do a good day's work for a good day's pay."
The years he has spent in helping people to buy or sell their business have given Mike professional insight and experience in several aspects of the business including the listing and sale of commercial property and landlord and tenant representation in leasing commercial property.
Mike takes pride in the fact that his clients view him as a valuable source of information and many of them continue to consult with him after the conclusion of their immediate transaction. This leads to ongoing relationships that produce repeat business and personal referrals.
