Throughout his career, Mike broke nearly every sales record set before him. His overwhelming success led to speaking engagements with local real estate boards and firms throughout the United States and Canada. Mike has personally trained over a million real estate agents in over 250 different cities and has been a repeat featured speaker at the National Association of Realtors Annual Conventions.
His seminars and workshops have been sponsored by the leading US and Canadian lending institutions. Real estate agents have purchased over 20 million dollars worth of his books and audio tapes on his innovative techniques for marketing residential real estate. He is the author of the book, “Own the American Dream” a primer for the public on the home buying process. Mike has always been on the cutting edge with his innovative approach to real estate sales and marketing. For example, when it was common for real estate agents to represent only sellers and not buyers, Mike took a controversial stand for buyer representation. Today, much to his efforts, both buyers and sellers are represented by a real estate agent in most real estate transactions. A successful bout with prostate cancer prompted Mike to end his speaking career in 2005 and return to selling real estate full time. He quickly became a dominate agent in the Phoenix - Scottsdale Arizona market. Mike is a member of the RE/MAX Platinum Club, one of their highest honors for achievement, placing him among the top most professionals in the real estate industry. The Phoenix Business Journal recently ranked Mike 36th in total dollar volume sales out of approximately 20,000 agents in the greater Phoenix Metro area. Mike and his family have lived in the Scottsdale - Paradise Valley community since 1978. He has been married 41 years to his wife Peggy and has two children, Michael, an orthopedic surgeon and Candice, a veterinarian and six grandchildren. Mike and Peggy reside within Desert Highlands Golf Club where they have been members and property owners since 1983. Mike was a former designated broker of Desert Highlands Realty. They are also full members and property owners at Silverleaf Club in North Scottsdale and Pine Canyon Club in Flagstaff Arizona. Mike is an avid golfer and carries a 5 handicap index. Mike is a Teaching Director for Community Bible Study International.
“I have been fortunate enough to help hundreds of buyers and sellers in my career. My greatest joy comes from helping my clients reach their goals. Over the years, the biggest mistake I’ve seen people make is working with an inexperienced agent or trying to buy or sell a home on their own. Being represented by a top agent is the most important step a home buyer or seller can do and most always results in monetary savings among many other benefits. I developed a unique system that gives my clients huge advantages when it comes to buying or selling a home. My system gets my buying clients to the best properties on the market before they are gone. My marketing program produces a quick sale for the sellers I represent and nets them the most money possible, after commission. My goal is to make my clients buying and selling experience as easy and enjoyable as possible and to establish a long term Realtor relationship with them, their families, and friends. If you are considering buying or selling a home feel free to contact me, at no obligation, to learn how establishing a private client relationship can provide you tremendous benefits and advantages. Your referrals are always welcome.”
