Welcome to MJ Real Estate Team

Our Story

Every story should begin with divine design and should end happily ever after. We’re excited about the changes – wherever life has you – that you’re making in this real estate chapter.

main

Our story begins with a God-designed life partnership that’s led us in two very cool directions:

1) Running an outrageously successful real estate business that is changing lives & forging life-long relationships with clients, and 2) leading a foster/adoptive family, caring for vulnerable SWFL children in our home. Through grace & hard work, we are blessed to serve others in both of these realms! With a strong commitment to our values, we continue to make a positive impact here in this paradise town we call home.

Like all stories, chapters along the way have been thrilling and bumpy sometimes – and we understand from navigating our own buying & selling experiences that no matter how many times you do it – it’s always daunting.  Each transaction carries its own financial & timing goals, details, concerns and expectations. We work seamlessly as a husband & wife team, backed by the largest, International-Reach Real Estate Company in Southwest Florida, to make you feel like you’re the only clients on our radar and to ensure you know that your needs guide our decisions.

We believe in a humble confidence. We know what we’re doing, yet we study the market daily and remain life-long learners. We believe in personal responsibility – accepting that your story & ours are intersecting today. We own our actions. We have concluded that the reason for our success involves leaving no stone unturned until your goals are reached and your ideal lifestyle is realized. The drive to make others happy, whether its our clients or our kiddos, keeps us going the extra mile every time.

With a large family and thriving entrepreneurial career, there’s never a dull moment in our story and we wouldn’t have it any other way.  Hard work, competitive spirit, masterful skill and the ability to manage communications & time will help us earn the right to work with you. At the end of the day, the story we continue to tell about us will have everything to do with how well your sales story goes.  So, let’s get started making it a good one.

Why Us – Truth & Mastery

main
  • 98.3% of the sales here happen through Realtors because this is a jet-set 2nd and 3rd home market deeply rooted in retail-type transactions. Communities are gated and access is limited. Therefore, we are with an agency that has more Realtors than any other. In selling property, your first clients are actually Realtors… then buyers. We sell the property to the Realtor group first, so it can be sold to their databases all over the world.
  • 100% Companies are important these days. Most brokerages are charging Realtors a “split.” That means much of the Realtor’s earnings are going into the broker’s pocket instead of into the marketing of your property. We don’t believe in branding and supporting big brokerages with big profits. We believe in branding your property and supporting you – the people who believe in and hire us.
  • Digital prowess is just one key to getting property sold and finding off-market properties for discerning buyers. We know how to use (not over-use or under-use) technology. Systems are only as good as the operators. Other agents have trouble matching the required need with the right tool, chasing cumbersome and automated systems that take the personal touch away from selling. We’ve mastered that ability and our systems support real day-to-day efforts.
main
  • Full-service portfolios. Our longevity has brought us into relationship with the best service providers from staging & interior design to lending, appraising, general contracting, seawall inspection, roof repairs, insurance and more. Our transaction coordination teams ensure that your property actually crosses the finish line in your timing, and we don’t let go of you until it’s time – seeing some of our clients through selling, moving and even renovations in their new homes!
  • No money left on the table. Negotiations can be simple, yet can turn complex. In a litigious area where wealthy individuals reside, it’s important to have an expert in calm, strong negotiation skills. The market will come with us to every conversation, along with the strategic ability to excite people emotionally. When those two skills are combined, we produce results – leaving nothing on the table.

  • Sometimes in life you get Lucky and meet a sales person that exceeds all you hoped they would be. While Mike and his group fall into this category. I was trying to buy a home in Florida with Hawaii as my current home. Mike guided me with knowledge , patience and understanding. I changed my mind on several potential deals and Mike was never negative or judgmental. As it turns out I bought a home in his community of Bella Terra and after the closing his help and patience continue to provide me helpful contacts and getting my new home ready. I have met his family and feel confident their help will not end with the closing.

  • If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Our move from NY to SWFL happened quickly, less than 3 months. I joined a Facebook group in the area where we were moving and Michael’s wife, Jenipher, gave me tons of useful information on every post I made. When I found out that she and Michael were realtors, we made the decision to switch agents due to their consistent help and kindness. As stressful and chaotic as our process was, they were present in some shape or form, every step of the way. They ended up finding us a great home in an amazing community. We are so thankful that our paths crossed and happy to call them our neighbors! I assure you, you will...

  • I had Mike representing me recently, on a purchase transaction. Mike was great to work with, he treated as if he was the buyer. Mike is very knowledgeable of the market, honest, always available to answer all my questions and address my concerns. Mike went above and beyond. Mike delivers on all his promises. and lets’s not forget his amazing staff members, they’re also awesome to work with. I would use him again and again for all my Real Estate transactions in Florida. I strongly recommend Mike!!!
