Bio
Mike is a fourth generation real estate appraiser/agent. He worked alongside his grandfather and father for many years before starting his own appraising agency in central Ohio in 2003. In addition to appraising he has been involved in many areas of real estate over the years. In 2006, he co-founded and operated Ready2Market LLC, a contracting company that provided property preservation services for local and national lenders to vacant, abandoned and foreclosed real estate. Mike sold Ready2Market LLC to his business partner after four years of tremendous growth of revenue and profit so that he could focus on his growing family and dig deeper into the real estate world by getting his real estate sales license. He joined the Century 21 Excellence Realty team in 2011. As he worked more in the central Ohio area as an appraiser and agent, he saw the opportunity with single family assets and co-founded an investment property firm focused on single family assets in 2016. He later joined partners in 2021 creating a business focused on multi-family assets.
As Mike started to do more commercial appraisals, he discovered how much he enjoyed the commercial side of the real estate world. He joined the Shai-Hess Team in 2023 as an agent to continue to learn, grow and foster his passion for real estate in the commercial arena. He is looking forward to blending his analytical skills gained from 20+ years in the appraisal field with his local real estate knowledge to advise and help Shai-Hess' clients achieve their commercial real estate investment goals.
Mike has a degree from Ohio University College of Business with a major in Finance. He resides in Granville, OH with his wife Jennifer and three children, Clara, Kellen, and Connor. He enjoys spending time with his family, watching his kids’ sports activities, personal fitness, and volunteering in the community.
