A lifelong San Diegan, Mike Slayen brings over 30 years of experience as a small business owner, musician, educator, and community member to his real estate career. Before joining Brush Realty, Mike built a reputation throughout San Diego County, with a strong presence in the Poway, Scripps Ranch, and Tierrasanta areas as the owner of The Guitar Aces, where he taught and inspired hundreds of families and students. His years of guiding others with patience, communication, and attention to detail naturally translated into helping clients buy and sell their homes.

Mike approaches real estate with the same dedication he brought to music: focused preparation, creativity, and genuine care for each client’s goals. He believes every transaction deserves the same precision as a well-played performance and takes pride in helping clients make confident, informed decisions.

When he’s not helping clients or fine tuning a marketing plan, you’ll find Mike playing guitar, composing music, at local beaches and spending time with his family, or volunteering in local schools.
