It’s a privilege to know Mike. He’s one of those rare people that are generous, sincere, and truly knowledgeable all in one package. One of the things I like best about him (aside from his willingness to share!) is that he’s curious and inquisitive– always willing to learn and explore new ideas. The guy that thinks he knows it all is the first one to get left behind. Mike is NOT that guy!

Mike is an out of the box thinker who has proven that you can do amazing things with the internet. He has built strong, loyal relationships and fostered new ones through social media and blogging. Not only is he a highly effective communicator, but he is a really genuine person. I am glad to have gotten to be in his network.

Mike first came to my attention on ACTIVERAIN, where I, as MANY others I’m sure, have benefited greatly from his posts. He’s always willing to share what he knows on a wide range of topics.

It is a privilege to know Mike (and call him friend). He’s intelligent, knowledgeable, generous and enthusiastic and respected by his peers. He’s my personal tutor — when I have a question, he’s the first person I call or email. I know I’ll get an easy to understand explanation. His social networking posts are easy to understand and follow and have helped many people feel comfortable on Active Rain and Twitter. What lucky company will be fortunate enough to add Mike Mueller to their team?

Mike has been very generous with his vast and valuable knowledge and has helped me with various internet and SEO facets. He is definitely a giver and I feel fortunate to know him, at least virtually. I have no doubt that his future holds great things in store for him!

It was a pleasure to meet Mike this past year. He is one of the most knowledgeable and kind people I have ever met. Mike would do anything to help you. He is also very willing to teach anyone who needs help. Mike has a knack that can not be matched. Whoever get Mike as an employee will be very lucky and very smart to hire him.

Mike is the go-to guy for me and for many others when it comes to sound solid mortgage information and advice, and for all kinds of current technology trends and tools. His patient and caring manner in how he explains everything is why so many of us keep looking to him for information on a variety of subjects.

I’ve been a avid reader of Mike’s blog and the help he has provided for my colleagues throughout the U.S. Always current and very knowledgable on Web 2.0 - he is a true “outside of the box” kinda guy. He is a pleasure to work with.

Mike is an exceptional presence in the world of mortgages and finance, as well as the growing field of social media. He truly knows that not only is knowledge power, but by sharing his message through his articles and the education of others, he can enhance the quality of information and service in the industry. I don’t know if Mike chose to be one of the premiere “go to guys” on the internet for mortgage information and social media assistance, but there are few who hold a candle to him! You just can’t go wrong with Mike!

21 Cathy Tishhouse 02.03.09 at 11:09 am [edit]

I subscribe to Mike’s blog on ActiveRain where I am always impressed with his knowledge of mortgages and finance. Even more impressive is his use and knowledge of Social Media. I am always learning from him. Technology is a must in any field and Mike surpasses most and generously shares his expertise. Being an expert in both fields gives him an advantage over most people I know and I always feel free to contact him with any question.

Mike has always impressed me with his vast knowledge and great personality, but most of all he is never too busy to offer a helping hand and share what he knows with others. He is just a wonderful person.

I have never met Mike personally, just online. From what I know of him I would say he is one of the most helpful people out there. Just browse around his sites or follow him on twitter and you will see what I mean. I asked him for tips about video editing and he replied within a few minutes, no questions asked. Mike helps people, he is a giver.

25 Doug Jumper 02.04.09 at 11:05 am [edit]

From an online standpoint, Mike’s been a very helpful person to know. He’s always quick to reply if you ask him something, and has a giving personality!

26 Tim McDonald 02.06.09 at 12:32 pm [edit]

I found Mike on Twitter. Then he reached out and connected with me on LinkedIn and Facebook. He has always been very friendly, encouraging, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. His use and application of social media tools is top notch. I have no problem recommending Mike. Any team would be lucky to have him on their side!

Mike is truly an amazing person. A thought leader in the mortgage industry, social networking and the connection so critical in today’s changing markets. Mike is relationship focused and understands the technology tools and trends to help the consumer on all levels. They simply don’t come smarter and more committed to excellence than Mike Mueller. You can call me for a personal reference at 530 276-7417. It would be a pleasure!
