Michael Babb
My name is Michael. I was born in Winnipeg, but have lived in Calgary for the majority of my life. I’ve worked in a number of industries over the years including retail, restaurant and for the past eight years I’ve been a software developer. I've even started a couple of my own successful businesses. Now I’m following my passion and continuing an entrepreneurial streak by becoming a realtor and helping people enjoy the buying and selling process. Outside of work I love to be out in nature by going on hikes and camping, as well as spending time reading and playing video games.

Why did you become a realtor?
I became a realtor for a couple of reasons. Primarily, houses have always been an interest of mine. I remember excitedly visiting open houses and watching HGTV with my family when I was younger, as well as helping friends when they needed advice while looking for homes. Secondly, after personally going through the process a number of times, I realized I wanted to provide a better, more streamlined experience and help guide others comfortably through the process of buying and selling a home.
Where do you like to travel?
I love to travel all over and try to do so any chance I get. One of my favourite things I've done when travelling was swimming from a beach to the Benagil Cave in Portugal. The swim taught me that I am able to push through uncomfortable experiences in a strong and calm manner without letting my head go under water.
What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?
One thing most people don’t know about me is that I love to cook and try new foods. I enjoy visiting new restaurants and doing my best to recreate the meals I enjoyed.
What is your favourite part of selling real estate?
One of my favourite parts of selling real estate is being able to talk with people who come to see a home and learn about their own stories of who they are, why they are in the market, and what they hope for their future. This connection helps build a sense of community and support that I believe is foundational to my style of business.
What are your favourite books, movies, shows, bands?
A couple of my top books are by Tim Ferris, both the “4-Hour Work Week” and “Tools of Titans” because they provide tips and tricks on how to live a life that works for you. I’m a big fan of action/adventure movies and comedy shows. Currently, my favourite bands/artists are JCole, Black Pumas, Kirby as well as late 90’s - early 2000’s throwbacks in general.
