Serving the community since 1984.
Hi, I’m Michael Young, Founder and Broker of Princeton Pacific Properties. I’ve dedicated more than 42 years to helping individuals and families navigate real estate transactions with professionalism, compassion, and integrity. While I began my career in real estate shortly after graduating high school, my passion has always been helping people through some of life’s most important transitions.
After gaining experience in our family real estate business, I joined Marcus & Millichap, one of the nation’s most respected commercial real estate firms. That experience gave me a strong foundation in investment real estate before I transitioned into residential brokerage, where I found my true calling. I later became a top-producing agent at Coldwell Banker before founding Princeton Pacific Properties.
Today, I specialize exclusively in probate, trust, conservatorship, and fiduciary real estate throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve had the privilege of assisting thousands of families, trustees, executors, conservators, attorneys, professional fiduciaries, and financial professionals through complex property transitions. My goal has always been to provide expert guidance, clear communication, and white-glove service from our first conversation through the close of escrow.
I am a proud member of the Professional Fiduciary Association of California (PFAC) and actively participate in multiple Estate Planning Councils throughout the Bay Area. Building strong relationships with estate planning professionals allows me to better serve the clients who rely on our expertise during challenging times.
On a personal note, I am a devoted father to my daughter, Grace, who serves as our Director of Marketing at Princeton Pacific Properties.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy giving back to the community and am actively involved with a variety of local organizations and charitable causes.

Why Choose Princeton Pacific?
Administration
Providing “first-rate” service to my clients has always been my top priority. The amount of disclosures and paperwork has tripled since I began my career in Real Estate. This requires the staffing of experts and their efforts allow me to dedicate more time to what I do best – prospecting for buyers and sellers, networking with other top agents, negotiating contracts and marketing your home.
Commitment
As a Realtor I have a written contract with my clients. Part of that agreement involves terms like, “good faith,” “diligent effort,” “looking out for the best interests of the client” etc. I want you to know that I take this very seriously. As a client, you will be treated and serviced as I would want to be treated and serviced.
Sometimes people ask me when they work with me, do they get me? The answer is emphatically… yes! All the marketing, pricing strategy, networking, and ultimate sale of each home is my responsibility. With that said, decades of selling Real Estate has convinced me that the public demands a high level of service that is impossible for a single agent to give. To have a full-time Listing Coordinator means my clients have twice the effort promoting their home and soliciting agent feedback. To have a full-time Escrow Coordinator means that all timelines are regularly reviewed and adhered to—plus there’s always someone in the office to answer your call. A Marketing Director means to you the best possible exposure for your home and a strong commitment to the internet. Everyone on my staff is licensed and personally trained by me. Simply stated, we meet daily to make sure our clients are getting the highest level of service and we are always striving.
From regular real estate sales to complex probate and trust sales, each transaction receives supreme skill, knowledge and attention to detail. I have been on many panels coaching Realtors on how to serve the client on stages all over the United States and in September of 2010 was again asked to speak to Realtors in Rome and London.
