Mick's Experience, Credentials, and Track Record  |  | | Mick and Jake at Lake Travis | |
 Click here to see what Mick's clients have to say about him!
Looking for a little PERSONALITY in real estate? Mick puts the FUN back into a serious business! Mick's personality, attention to detail, and enthusiasm won him his first job as Customer Service Trainer for American Airlines. His second career was in construction management, supervising projects whose total value exceeded $150 million. With his 20 years of experience in customer service and construction management, you won't find more skilled representation.
In addition to residential real estate, Mick is well versed in the complexities of buying raw land and waterfront properties. You can trust him to guide you through issues such as LCRA restrictions, flood plains, cove depths and the variable water level of Lake Travis. With his development and construction experience, he can provide valuable insight in determining the cost and feasibility of your planned property improvements. You need an agent who really KNOWS land and waterfront - the issues are so different than those in residential transactions! Mick will help you interpret and verify property information so that you can make a truly informed decision.
Mick is very involved in the community. He was a former Director of the Cedar Park 4A Economic Development Corporation by City Council. He was also an Ambassador for the Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce and in 2003 was awarded an Exemplary Achievement Award and Honorary Lifetime Membership due to his tireless efforts for the Chamber. Because he's so connected, Mick is up on all the latest developments in town and knows where all of the new roads and "hot properties" will be- you need to know this information before buying or selling!
Mick graduated from the 2003 class of Leadership Cedar Park, a 9-month civic immersion class focusing on all major areas of city government and community affairs. He served on the Advisory Committee for the Hill Country Community Ministries, helping to raise corporate donations and awareness for this critical outreach service that helps so many of our neighbors in times of financial need. He is a popular speaker for the Leander ISD's Texas Scholars Program, which encourages kids to strive for higher levels of personal performance.
After adopting two children from China in 2007 and 2009, Mick and his wife, Tracy, have become passionate advocates for orphans. Mick serves on the Board of An Orphan's Wish, a charity that supports foster care for Chinese orphans with medical special needs. He is also active in MOSAIC, Northpoint Church's Global Engagement division, annually leading orphan-care mission trips to Kenya.
Continuing education is important to Mick. He has completed 900 hours of additional training to earn his Broker’s license. He has also earned the e-PRO Internet Professional certification (which less than 5% of Realtors have obtained!) and the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) designation by the National Association of Realtors. He is also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS), a designation held by only a few other Realtors in Austin.
You'll appreciate his low-pressure (but high energy) approach. Mick is serious about practicing real estate with honesty and integrity, and promises that his level of service will exceed your expectations!

First Time Buyers >Structural Contingency
If you have a house for sale your buyers will probably include a structural inspection contingency in the contract. This allows them to have an expert check out the house, the major systems and the appliances.
A professional structural inspector can help buyers to "know" the house and to feel comfortable with it, but the inspection does not result in a pass or fail grade. The buyers will learn important facts about the house, such as where the water cutoff valve is located, in case of an emergency. The inspection may also help buyers set up a budget for repairs and determine if they want to invest in cost-effective measures to increase energy efficiency.
Buyers rarely back out of a sale after a structural inspection. Even if there are problems, you have the opportunity to negotiate a compromise and to avoid any obstacles that could seriously threaten the sale.
