Mike Buffo
Mike Buffo, of House of 8 Media, is a fourth-generation Monterey Peninsula local specializing in cinematic real estate and architectural films for real estate agent, architects, and developers. Working with cinema-grade camera systems, Mike brings formal directing and acting training to every project—helping agents, designers, and homeowners feel at ease on camera while maintaining exacting technical standards. His films reveal just enough to invite a visit, carefully balancing restraint and allure rather than showing everything at once.
Known for “stalking the light,” Mike’s work is defined by following the sun—capturing properties as they naturally come alive throughout the day. Clients value him for being easy to work with, punctual, professional, and trustworthy, with a consistent record of delivering high-end results on time and on budget. Mike has worked closely with the Tim Allen Properties team since 2021 and has served as their primary cinematographer ever since. Learn more at his website.
