When you are buying or selling property in today's real estate market,
it's important to have confidence in your real estate professional.
Our commitment as your local REALTOR is to provide you with the
specialized real estate service you deserve.
There is no substitute for experience...simply no substitute!
When an agent is a trusted advisor to over 650 families and faithful
in the little things, you can probably depend on them for the big ones too.
It should be important to you who calls back quickly, and who shows up on time. Think about it.
When you are an informed buyer or seller, you'll make the best
decisions for the most important purchase or sale in your lifetime.
That's why our goal is to keep you informed on trends in the marketplace using the latest
statistics in your local area. With property values continuing to rise, real estate is a sound
investment for now and for the future.
As a local area expert with knowledge of the communities,
our objective is to work diligently to assist you in meeting your real estate goals.
You'll get the experience of a CERTIFIED RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST (CRS), CERTIFIED LUXURY HOME MARKETING SPECIALIST
(CLHMS) & ACCREDITED BUYER REPRESENTIVE (ABR)
Fewer than 5% of all Real Estate Licensees have earned the industry's most
advanced "degree." CRS is like the PHD of Real Estate. The CRS degree assures experience and knowledge.
Remember, it's "buyer beware" in real estate so get representation for YOUR BEST INTEREST.
The ABR degree comes from extensive buyer training. Mike's MBA in Purchasing has prepared Mike to
Negotiate hundreds of home purchases. It doesn't cost you more to use an ABR, but it may save you lots!
Our law allows for you, the home buyer to have an agent. Don't just call any agent to show you their
listing. Interview and hire the best professional agent to work for you.
Top Producer Council Raleigh Regional Association of Realtors
Only 50 Realtors are in the Top Producer Council because they have earned the right to share ideas at formal meetings with other experienced and trusted Realtors in Raleigh. Having a great reputation among the other Top Producing Brokers helps Mike's clients with smooth transactions with the movers and shakers in town.

you are considering buying or selling a home or would just like to have additional information

Is Your Home Being Marketed to Millions of Buyers?
If it's listed with Town & Country Realty, the answer is yes! In addition to seeing your home listing on MikesRealEstateTeam.com and our family of Town & Country Web sites, Town & Country Realty takes care of sharing the details of your home with other online search engines such as Realtor.com, Google, Yahoo and AOL that receive millions of views by home buyers. This is called inventory marketing. You will also find your home listed on sites that specifically focus on attracting real estate buyers. These partnerships create national and international visibility for your home!
Thinking about buying in the next six months?
Our "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT GUARANTEE" is just one benefit of the
"SMART BUYER PROGRAM." If you are not 100% happy with the home you purchase through us in the
first 6 months, I will sell it for you with no charge for our listing service. It's that simple.
Now is a great time to consider INVESTMENT PROPERTY too!
Thank you for visiting our website - please consider it as your online source for
