Mike is a highly driven individual with a deep passion for both people and real estate, particularly in rural areas. With his unique understanding of rural life, he embarked on a successful career in rural real estate thirteen years ago and has since gained a wealth of experience in the field.

Before moving into real estate, Mike spent over twenty years working in the livestock industry, giving him a profound appreciation for the joys and challenges of living in rural landscapes. He skillfully combines this knowledge and experience with his real estate expertise to offer a personalized and distinctive approach to his clients. His range of services covers all aspects of rural real estate, and his clientele and projects are diverse.

Over the years, Mike has built an extensive network of contacts throughout the country, enabling him to tap into a wide range of resources to find the perfect property for his clients or connect sellers with the ideal buyers. This extensive reach enhances his ability to deliver exceptional results for every vendor he works with.

Mike's reputation is founded on his trustworthy nature and honest approach. He consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic, consistently going above and beyond to achieve the best outcomes for his clients. His genuine care for his local community is evident, and as a family man with his own lifestyle property, he understands the importance and joy of finding that dream property for his clients.

We chose Mike because we purchased this property through him. Now eight years later he has sold it for us at a very good price. He is very personable, a good listener, a hard worker, communicates clearly and frequently, and kept us up to date with the sale process. We would unreservedly recommend him to others wanting to buy or sell property.
