About Mike Smith

Can I add a 6th star?? I first met Mike through an internet search on realty in the area – I was starting to plan retirement to the coast of NC. This was early fall 2020. I told Mike that I was not ready to purchase but that I wanted to start a preliminary process. He was consummately professional, informative, and gave a considerable amount of his time, even though he knew I was not going to buy, yet. We remained in touch during the next two years, approximately every six months or so, and this past spring, I sent him an email to advise that I felt that it was getting close to time and maybe we should start looking again together. He responded immediately, and through both his professional expertise and personal knowledge of me, for having listened very carefully throughout our communications found me exactly what I was looking for. He is an amazing agent, and candidly just a great guy. I have added him to my Christmas card list lol. I want to be sure that after I close we will not lose contact. What a great guy.

My wife and I live in Ohio and were looking to relocate to a warmer climate but still have seasonal weather changes. We were looking in Tennessee but could not find what we were looking for. Mike called us shortly after filling out the info that popped up on Facebook for 55places.com. We talked for about 45 minutes. During that time he got a good feel for what we were looking for. We traveled to NC and met up with him. He is very knowledgeable about the different plantations in the area. He is great at reading your needs. Mike kept our price range in mind and didn’t try to bump up our top limit. He was very honest with us saying we shouldn’t look at property that we thought we would like because it was out of our price range. Once we found the house we liked, he was great at negotiating the price with the selling realtor. After the agreed price was met, he got us in contact with great people for bank loan, lawyer, utilities, and any other questions we had. This was needed because we had no connections to this area for any of these needed professions. He never stops working! We could text or call him anytime and he was there for us. Hope to meet up with him once we are settled but probably won’t because he is always working. Couldn’t ask for a better realtor, or person, for that matter.

My husband and a I were relocating and retiring but hadn’t exactly found what we were looking for. We had just decided to move to Houston, TX and the hurricane hit them, then the next year the city was flooded again. We were packed and moving from upstate NY and decided to skip TX and try NC where I had been stationed years before. We knew the weather and land was beautiful so we headed there to check out The Myrtle Beach area. We struck out there and decided to head north towards Wilmington and stopped over in Calabash, NC and fell in love with the community in 5 minutes. We asked for an agent who could help us find the right property to build to suit. We were welcomed in by Mike Smith. We told Mike exactly what we had been wanting and he said he knew of the exact builder and area. Mike immediately took us to our future property. We walked into a model home and it was the vision we had asked him for. We bought the house on the spot or rather ordered it to be built. Everything we were comfortable with for our retirement was within minutes and Mike showed us everything! He assisted with all paperwork, attorneys, financing, insurance leads and speaking with the builder while we were in another state and at the other end of the line for every question or reassurance. Mike was absolutely the best, agent we have dealt with in all of our 23 years of marriage! And talk about cordial and knowledgeable….the best personality and work ethic. We have met a friend for life! What a blessing.
