We moved to Hickory NC in 2005 from South Jersey. While we miss our family and friends in NJ, we have made the Hickory area our home and can not imagine living anywhere else. We raised our kids here and have seen this area thrive in recent years. We love the fact that we are in a small town with some big city amenities but are only an hour or so from Charlotte and Asheville.
Mike started working as an agent in 2006 and fell in love with helping people buy and sell homes. After a few years as a top producing agent we decided to strike it out on our own and created our own real estate firm in 2010. Mike is still a practicing agent but he is also focused on developing our agents and giving them the tools they need to be successful.
If you are looking to buy or sell a home, feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to pair you with one of our expert agents to walk you through the process.

| Seller SOLD a home in 2014 |
| 12/22/2014 |
| Mike was our seller's agent for a mountain house near Hickory, NC. Mike was very responsive, took great pictures, offered valuable advice and made inspection items a snap by coordinating the work so we didn't have to worry about a thing. His company has great tools that notified us of showings and allowed us to see the feedback provided by the buyers' agents. Mike was fantastic and made this experience very easy for us - highly recommend! |
| Buyer PURCHASED a home in 2013 |

| I would put anyone into Mikes hands because he is a gentlemen and a master at what is does. I feel in order to be good at anything we do in life we must love what we do ! Mike loves his job and deals with people with people very well. I am from mass and when I first spoke to mike about moving here he was very helpful in all ways . I asked him a million questions about everything and not only homes but everything in Hickory. I am a contractor and a carpenter so this was not going to be easy dealing with me because I was so fussy about what I wanted. Before I came to Hickory to look at houses I looked at hundreds and hundreds of houses and when I had questions or asked Mike to go and take some pics for me of certain things he always acted quickly for me. Mike has a sharp eye and pays attention to details which is very important to me.I was coming down for 1 week and I gave Mike a list of homes to see. Mike even took time from his family on a Sunday to make sure we saw all the houses we needed to see in that week and in that week we found a beautiful home at a great price. Mike even had people do to all the inspections for us and they were great people too. We bought the house in April 1 and moved in 1 week before school started. I would always recommend Hickory Real Estate Group to everyone because you would never go wrong with Mike !! |
| Buyer STILL LOOKING |

| Mike is very knowledgeable, patient, and responsive. He helped us to find and reach an agreement on a home but unfortunately, the home simply had too many issues. Not only has he become our trusted realtor but a dear friend as well. We will keep searching Mike! |
| Buyer BOUGHT a home in 2011 |
| 12/29/2011 |
| Mike is really committed to each client and dedicates himself fully to finding you the perfect place. He's flexible, patient, and always looking out for you first. This was our first experience buying a house and we could have easily become overwhelmed. Mike did a great job working with us through the whole process and made everything simple and easy to manage. Hickory Real Estate is small but agile, and they focus on the client, not their bottom line. They provide a level of service you just can't get with some larger franchise realty company. I'm recommending Hickory Real Estate to everyone I know. |
| Seller/Buyer SOLD & PURCHASED homes in 2013 |
| 04/22/0014 |
| Hickory Real Estate Group enough. We recently sold our home through HREG and through their true understanding of real estate marketing our house sold in 5 days! They also were with us through every step of the way in the selling and buying process of our old and new home. Again, I recommend HREG to everyone I know looking to sell or buy a house because I know I am recommending them to a company who knows what they are doing in the Real Estate market! |
