Mike McCann, Honorary Chair
Few people love Philadelphia more than Mike McCann. His enthusiasm for the city and its residents is contagious! A native of Philadelphia and graduate of the Temple Real Estate Institute, Mike McCann is well acquainted with the neighborhoods, geography and culture of the city. Mike earned his status as "The Real Estate Man" by utilizing his extensive knowledge and experience to consistently provide quality service for his clients, establishing a remarkably positive reputation within Philadelphia. For over 30 years he has been a top selling REALTOR . Mike is proudly associated with KW Philly and KW Main Line.
McCann has earned his place as one of the most successful and respected real estate agents, not only in Philadelphia but also nationwide. At a time when he could easily be slowing down or even pondering retirement, McCann has only strengthened his desire to have a positive impact on employees and clients alike.
The Mike McCann Team acts as that trusted partner for more clients than ever. While McCann has long had a stellar reputation in the city, where he focused most of his business, last year he and his partners opened the Keller Williams Main Line office and expanded the team in the suburbs. Not surprisingly, the response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive.
