Mike Clary
Mike holds a marketing degree from the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS!) and enjoyed a successful career as both a sales and marketing executive for two food companies you may have heard of – Oscar Mayer and Land O’Lakes. He later founded, and ran, a successful marketing consulting business for twenty-five years. His varied corporate experiences included responsibility for eleven western states as a sales manager, national responsibilities over marketing and promotions departments, positions on the management staff, and overseas assignments assisting multiple Eastern European government transitions away from communist regimes.
These roles forced Mike to relate well with people from every background and circumstance, and they are the basis for his core philosophies as a real estate broker:
- The right house doesn’t matter if it doesn’t fit dreams and desired lifestyles.
- A broker should represent buyers and sellers in the most friendly, professional, competent, and ethical manner possible. Relationships matter.
- Do what is right for the customer. It’s about helping people achieve their dreams. It’s not about another dollar in your pocket.
- Our primary role as a broker is to facilitate the process to owning the home, more so than finding the home. Stress happens. Help minimize it.
Mike has lived in eight states, three of them twice, touching both east and west coasts, as well as the nation’s northern border. With so many relocations, Mike has felt personally most every emotion that a buyer or seller will feel during a real estate transaction (there is no such thing as a stress-free real estate transaction). This valuable experience helps him anticipate and navigate any challenges his clients face.
Away from work (is that a thing?), Mike enjoys golf, traveling, time at the beach or on a mountain trail, and spending time with family, friends, and Snoopy, the family dog. But, mostly, he enjoys growing old with his wife, Carrie (though, according to her, he’s growing old, and she’s stuck on 29).
