Mike began his real estate career in 2006 and in 2010, he and his wife established Premier Homes Realty, Inc. One of the key factors contributing to his success is his ability to assist individuals navigating the challenges of buying and selling homes. When Mike takes on a client, they become an integral part of his extended family. Whether it's a first-time or last-time homebuyer, someone interested in new construction or resale, or even someone going through the unfortunate process of a short sale, there are often obstacles along the way. Mike's role is to alleviate the stress and smooth out these bumps in the road. Prior to his venture into real estate, Mike spent 35 years as a law enforcement professional. In addition to his career, he is a devoted husband and father of four children, as well as a proud grandfather of nine. Mike is also a distinguished graduate of St Leo University, where he achieved the highest honors, Summa Cum Laude. Together with his wife Tari, Mike has personally facilitated over $190 million in real estate sales. His expertise and accomplishments have earned him recognition in both Forbes and Fortune magazines as a North Florida Real Estate Market Leader from 2019 to 2023. When it comes to listing homes, Mike is committed to providing exceptional service. He charges a competitive 4% commission rate, and if there is no other sales agent involved, he further reduces the commission to just 3% of the sales price. For buyers, Mike offers to contribute up to 1% of the purchase price towards their closing costs and prepaids, as long as it is approved by their lender. Transitioning from a career in law enforcement to real estate was a natural progression for Mike. His wife's overwhelming workload in real estate prompted him to lend a helping hand, leading to a new chapter in his professional life. After joining a brokerage, they eventually established their own brokerage, Premier Homes Realty. This family-owned business now boasts a team of over 35 realtors, including their daughter. They specialize in residential real estate, but are also equipped to assist with commercial real estate needs. In addition to being a realtor, Mike is a mortgage loan originator and a broker with expertise in all aspects of residential real estate. He takes great pride in the relationships he builds, his extensive networking abilities, and his role as a mentor to his team. Mike's consistent recognition as a Five-Star Professional Agent for ten consecutive years is a testament to his dedication and exceptional service. His presence in Forbes and Fortune magazines for the past four years further solidifies his status as a trusted and accomplished real estate professional. Mike attributes his success to the blessings bestowed upon him by the Lord, the unwavering love and support from his wife, and the strength of his family.
