Michael Scheid joined HUNT Mortgage in 2025, bringing his enthusiasm for helping clients navigate important transitions and his dedication to delivering tailored financial solutions.
Before finding his stride in the mortgage and real estate industries, Michael served as comptroller for the Buffalo Yacht Club from 2016 to 2022, where he developed a strong sense of operational strategy and financial management. Along the way, he also gained hands-on experience as a service writer at an auto dealership and honed his people skills through serving and bartending roles during college.
Michael’s first foray into the business came at the age of 20, attempting to break into the residential real estate market during challenging conditions. With high inventory and tough-to-find buyers – not to mention being too young to take a client out for a drink – Michael ultimately stepped back to focus on his education. He returned to the industry in 2021, starting in residential real estate while juggling a full-time job, and later joining HUNT Commercial, where his eyes were opened to the complexity and opportunities in the industry.
Now a valued member of the HUNT Mortgage team, Michael’s approach aligns with the company’s clear vision and collaborative culture. Having initially been drawn to the organization’s reputation as a leading regional brokerage, Michael has also come to appreciate how the leadership fosters both professionalism and individual growth. Working alongside talented colleagues in an environment that encourages innovation and teamwork has made all the difference in advancing his career with HUNT.
Michael is particularly passionate about working with clients and ensuring that they achieve their goals. He combines a hands-on approach with his passion for strategic problem-solving and excels at breaking down complex concepts and providing clarity, making his guidance invaluable to future homebuyers navigating the home financing process.
The scoop on Michael: He holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Niagara University and a Strategic Human Resource Leadership certificate from eCornell. He’s no stranger to recognition, having been named Employee of the Year at the Buffalo Yacht Club in 2017 and earning the HUNT Real Estate Rising Star Award in 2022.
Outside the office, Michael brings his competitive spirit to the water, spending summers racing sailboats with the Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club’s J105 fleet. His passion for sailing has also led him to leadership, having been elected to the club’s 2025 Board of Directors as Treasurer.
