About Mike Belger

I enjoy working with the 55+ crowd as we look for their perfect, and probably last home. Almost all of them have experienced purchasing a home and know what they want and are very cooperative in the process. And when you hand them the keys to their forever home, their reactions are priceless. My wife Teri and I have been fulltime agents for nearly 19 years now. We have focused on the active adult crowd for the past 12 years and have really learned to listen to buyers about their wants. We have won numerous awards from both 55places.com as well as our brokerages for our performance. 55+ buyers are attracted to the Inland Empire area of Southern California for several reasons. Most notably is that the prices are much less than some of the neighboring areas and the amenities in several of our communities just can't be beat anywhere. Oftentimes buyers will think that the Inland Empire will be too hot for them. But actually, our communities are at elevations of 1600 ft to nearly 3000 ft so we are much more seasonable than they think. Several of the communities typically enjoy a light breeze in the afternoons to cool off the warmer days. When we are talking with people looking for a community in our area we may suggest visiting a few different communities that all might have a lot of the things they are looking for. Quite often buyers will fall in love with a community that was different than they originally wanted. And it's surprising how often we'll run into past clients at the pool or clubhouse and they can't help but tell them how much they love it there. My wife Teri and I have been married for nearly 40 years now. With two grown sons and 5 grandkids, it seems our home is where they always end up. When not with them, we enjoy traveling, with Cabo being one of our favorite locations.
