About Mike Morawski

With over 30 years of real estate experience, Michael “Mike” Morawski has controlled over $285,000,000 in real estate transactions. Mike entered the real estate industry as a sales agent, building a team that produced over $20 mm per year in sales production.

Mike has always believed that transparency and honesty are central to any successful business and personal life. But when the 2008 economic crisis happened, Mike let his guard down and let his transparency slip.

While reflecting on his losses, Mike used his time in prison to make a difference. He and his story positively impacted the lives of others both in and outside the prison walls. Now, after founding My Core Intentions, Mr. Morawski helps real estate owners, operators, and other industry professionals make wise, responsible decisions while continuing to grow their businesses and create a profit.
