Michael Haley

Michael S. Haley is a broker with Braasch Commercial Real Estate in Rochester, Minnesota. Braasch describes itself as a family-owned, full-service commercial real estate firm with more than 45 years in southeastern Minnesota and Wisconsin, providing commercial real estate investment and exchange services, sales and leasing, business sales, hotels/motels/lodging, single-tenant net lease, and specialty-property services.

Braasch’s public profile says Haley has spent time in Wisconsin, Arizona, and Minnesota; graduated from Arizona State University; and holds multiple business and academic accreditations. The same firm bio describes him as having 17 years in commercial real estate and more than 10 years in high-impact marketing.

His listed career highlights include overseeing more than 50 business sales and more than 600 real estate transactions; facilitating sales across industrial, retail, medical, office, and lodging properties; negotiating the sale of 40 acres of land assets for National Note of Utah; and redeploying 12 Cenex/CHS convenience stores to new owners.

A separate court record identifies a Michael S. Haley as a former Mercer Investment Consulting representative who took over a pension-fund account in 2001 and left Mercer in 2005 to work for an investment manager. I found no reliable public source tying that Mercer email address to the current Braasch profile, so the Mercer email from the stub is not included as verified contact information.
