Michael Waldren - RE/MAX Alliance Group

I have the pleasure of saying I was born and raised on Marco Island. Growing up here, I have been involved in numerous organizations over the years, most notably the South Collier YMCA as a camper and camp counselor.

As a testament to my upbringing on the Island, I attended school at Tommie Barfield Elementary, Marco Island Charter Middle and Gulfview Middle, and Lely High School (class of 2009). Once it was time for college, I made the decision to keep it local; I attended Florida Gulf Coast University, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in History in 2013 and then a Master of Arts in Educational Technology in 2018.

Ultimately, my curious disposition requested a change of scenery, and I relocated to the Greater Seattle area from 2014-2016. There, I worked as a tech company contractor while exploring the area and taking in a completely different environment.

Eventually, I determined that my hometown was where I was meant to be, and I returned to the Southwest Florida area in 2017. As previously mentioned, I obtained my Master's; this led to me working in Marketing and Instructional Design for an electronics wholesaler, where I sharpened my skills in both tech and in facilitating a sale.

Since joining The Waldren Team in 2022, I have experienced considerable success in helping buyers and sellers achieve their Real Estate goals. I take my expertise of the Island seriously, having achieved the Marco Island Specialist designation. In 2025, I was presented with the Robbie Clark award, a local accolade given to the best up-and-coming Realtor of that given year.

I am also an avid walker and bicyclist; Southwest Florida is home to a plethora of beauty and splendor, and I would also be more than happy to help you make new discoveries within our home.
