TRANSWESTERN ROLE
Michael Griffin specializes in professional portfolio advisory services and representation of the real estate needs of corporate clients. He identifies, recommends and executes actions to optimize commercial real estate. As a licensed CPA, Michael’s services include an in-depth financial strategy and planning.
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
Clients such as Cooper Aerobics Center, Compass Bank, Dow Jones, and Merrill Lynch have all benefited from Michael’s expertise. His strategic process creates facilities that promote business goals, which ultimately generates wealth and shareholder equity.
