Meet Mike Smith
My name is Mike Smith. I was raised in a family
involved in real estate. My father has been a real estate broker since the
early 60's. As a kid I helped clean, paint and manage rental units and have
experienced my fair share of moves during my life time. My life partner is also
from a real estate family. Her mother has been a real estate broker since the
70's. We have both lived and experienced the industry from all different
aspects being that our parents and we are also investors in real estate.
 My son after a
great day fishing on our boat in the ocean.I am a father of three children that I adore
and spend much time with. They are very active in their different
interests: fishing, sports and showing their 4H animals. We all love the
outdoors especially if we are yachting in the San Juan's or Canadian Gulf
Islands. If it involves water you can find us there! We spend our free time
camping, boating, fishing, white water rafting, flying kites at the coast,
hiking, walking and many other family activities.
 Both of my daughters enjoyed training and showing their 4H animals.
They learned many life lessons during the process and met some interesting and
great people. When I began in real estate in 1987, I was
trained to do business the traditional transactional way most Real Estate
Companies operate (Work your deals as a numbers game, the more deals you do the
more money you make, just keep rolling forward!!!). After many years of the
churn and burn mentality I realized that even though I provided my clients with
great deals and worked very hard for them, they seemed to be less than pleased
with the overall service they received. This concept was a great way to make a
lot of money, but it left me feeling very unfilled by my work because my
customers were not as satisfied as they could have been.
It was not until I realized that this is a
people business, not a deal business, did my business and level of service
really start to matter to me. I have spent many years educating myself in
all aspects of real estate and am considered to be very knowledgeable in the
area of real estate. Now it was time to build and implement the systems
necessary to provide a level of service to my clients that would make them then
want to continue to do business with me for other reasons other than just good
deals, and refer their friends, family and co-workers. (If I were a doctor one
could say I needed to change my bedside manner.)
I realized that I derive pleasure from helping
my clients obtain financial security through real estate investing. I just
needed to focus a little more energy in the following areas to provide an
exceptional service to my clients:
- Take a little more time educating my clients
about real estate and the current real estate market.
- Focus more on the clients personal and
property needs; what are their expectations from a specific property and/or a
Broker? Will the property and /or the Broker meet their expectations?
- Continue to always make sure that my client's
interests are protected in their real estate dealings.
- Educate clients as to my way of doing business
to make sure they know what to expect, and never promise a client more than
they can realistically expect in the current market place or from my Services.
- Create a platform for good communication with
my clients and focus on unsurpassed customer service, being that both are vital
to the success of each transaction.
- Don't just tell your clients, but show them
that every detail to their specific transaction will be meticulously handled.
· Continually stay on top of this ever-changing industry so that my
clients will receive reliable, up to date information, and so that they can
make solid financial decisions.
- The way real estate is done today is changing
rapidly due to new technology. By changing with the times my clients are better
served.
I am committed to providing my clients with a
level of service I would also expect and deserve for myself. By providing
this level of service, I now receive personal satisfaction by knowing I have
satisfied clients while building lifelong relationships with my clients, their
friends, family and co-workers.
Being a Real Estate salesperson was not
personally rewarding, but as a Real Estate Consultant and Advisor, my clients
and myself are both fulfilled!
I realize that your satisfaction and
subsequent referrals are the basis for my future business. I value you and
promise that you and anyone you refer to me will receive a level of service,
trust and dedication that is not offered anywhere else.
"My career goal is to maintain clients for
life, not just for a single transaction." If you or someone you know is looking
to experience a better way to buy or sell Real Estate, contact Mike Smith

Time to Move >Remodel Or Move
At some point your present home may begin to feel cramped. You would like enough room to have an "adult haven", but you must weigh the price of a larger home over against the prospect of living with contractors and plaster dust for a long time. Is it better to remodel or to look for a new home?
Before you decide on a major home improvement project, talk with a real estate agent who knows your neighborhood. Will the changes you have in mind over-improve your home, making it difficult to re-sell? Will you be able to recover the cost of your investment? Find out how much your present home is currently worth, and how much home equity you have. You may be able to make a substantial down payment that lowers your mortgage payments on a larger home. It may be worth making a move to avoid the stress and inconvenience of remodeling, if you can find a new home with all the features you would like to add to your present home.
