ABOUT US

MEET MICHAEL
You’ve heard the three rules of real estate: Location, Location, Location.
Michael’s three rules of real estate are: Location, Demographics and Timing.
With over 40 years of experience in real estate development and residential construction, Michael has built a reputation as a trusted general contractor serving Northern California. He began his career in 1984 with a multi-home project in the Bay Area and later developed 25 custom homes in Sacramento’s Pocket Area (River Oaks East) as a principal builder.
​
Today, through Moser Development, he specializes in:
-
Custom ADU construction
-
Fire damage rebuild and home reconstruction
-
Residential remodeling
-
Permanent eave lighting installation​
-
Outdoor permanent lighting
As an experienced ADU builder and licensed contractor, Michael focuses on quality craftsmanship, strategic planning, and long-term value for homeowners.
​
In 2022, he launched Firefly Lighting Systems, a permanent micro-LED eave lighting solution that enhances curb appeal, holiday lighting convenience, and year-round home security — all controlled through a mobile app.
​
For decades, Michael’s work has been defined by foresight, precision, and trusted results.
OUR COMPANY
Michael attended Sacramento State University and earned his law degree in 2003, not to practice law, but to deepen his understanding of the legal and regulatory framework surrounding land development — including the California Subdivision Map Act and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
​
This legal foundation strengthens Moser Development’s expertise in subdivision planning, entitlement strategy, and residential development throughout California. Over the years, Michael has led and contributed to dozens of land development projects, both large and small, for private clients and his own ventures.
​
Moser Development is currently advancing the Swanston Oak project, an eight-home subdivision that will expand to ten homes upon final map approval and construction completion.
In addition to subdivision development, we provide:
​
-
Custom ADU construction
-
Fire damage rebuild and reconstruction
-
Home and yard remodeling
-
Permanent eave and holiday lighting through Firefly Lighting Systems
-
Full-service construction management for raw land development
Our company combines legal insight, development strategy, and hands-on construction experience to deliver well-planned, high-quality residential projects.

​
We believe in building lasting value, not just structures. Our commitment is simple: build with integrity, solve problems effectively, and leave every neighborhood better than we found it.
