The MJ Gillespie & Co Advantage

Domain Expertise

Greetings,

My name is Michael Gillespie and I am a Bethesda, MD based real estate broker, investor, and entrepreneur with an established roots in the DC Metro region. Born in Washington, DC and raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, I bring a lifelong understanding of the Montgomery County and DC markets. As co-founder and principal broker of SOL & MAISON Real Estate, I have spent more than 15 years as a licensed agent and investor across both residential and commercial markets, advising clients and partners through acquisitions, dispositions, and complex transactions.

In addition to my real estate work, I had a 25-year career in information technology, with specific experience in systems development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and project management. This foundation helps me maintain a disciplined, analytical approach to real estate investing and client representation. Licensed in DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Florida, my focus is on delivering thoughtful guidance, sound strategy, and confident outcomes for every client engagement.

My team and I look forward to working with you.

"Michael really took the time to understand what we wanted in a home. In this crazy market where people were out to outbid one another, Michael kept us grounded. He made sure we understood the true value of properties and what future values could look like so we made rational vs emotional decisions. Waking up in our new home today, I knew we made the right decision choosing Michael to represent us in the buying process."

"I was looking for an investment property and Michael was referred to me by a colleague of mine. Im not one for long winded reviews but the purpose of me writing this is to let folks know that we not only found an investment property but he walked me through the whole process of flipping it for a profit (Acquisition, Renovation, Exit). Michael is as honest as it gets when it comes to whats doable and what isn't and I appreciated that during this…

"They tried to man handle me, but, with the help of my Agent Mr. Gillespie, his knowledge and understanding of several of the difficult projects involved, he wasn't having it. His personal connections, professionalism, and the way he communicated with others made everything possible."

"Michael, handled business w/out a doubt. Was able to sell the house well under a year and made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything during the entire process! Forever great full for this team and most definitely will be doing business again in the near future."
