Professional Interests
Mike has taken a keen interest in the economic times we now find ourselves in regards to local, national and world political events and recessionary fall out. No other time in history has so much change affected so many people. With respect to Real Esate in the Vancouver area - predictions and unexpected change that has occured in the last 48 months has been beyond prededent. Statistics, trends, and reality has kept anyone in the real estate industry on their toes - trying to make sense of this rapid change. Most will agree that Vancouver - being one of the top five places to live on earth - is withstanding this current atmosphere in many ways. Yes, pricing has "adjusted' but we were due for the market to stabilize after an unbelievable rate of change over the last 6 years.
Straight Talk
Mike and the team at Kimmins and Associates are not only becoming well known for their standard of service - but their belief that straight talk and honest answers is not only what clients want but deserve and need. Real Estate is serious business and for most, the biggest transaction they will make in a lifetime - either buying for the first time or a change of lifestyle. Straight talk - straight answers.
Personal Background
Mike calls the East Coast of Canada home where his immediate family still resides. Mike has lived in every geographic region of Canada - the east coast, central Ontario, the Prairies and now the west coast with stops on Vancouver Island. Real Estate was a bit of a natural direction after several home purchases and sales across Canada - knowing full well the emotional and challenging time selling or buying a home can be - while leaving friends behind and anticipating new ones that await you. Always a people person Mike takes his role as a Realtor very serious. Simply put - it's big money, hard earned money and any part he can play assisting others with the emotional roller coaster that will ensue is the most rewarding part of the industry. Family, friends and health are the foundations of life - the rest is a bonus - is a code Mike lives by.
Personal Interests
Taking full advantage of the climate and beauty of Vancouver, Mike's favorite place is on a bike - attending open houses, viewing properties and of course the trails and roadways throughout this magnificent city. It's the best way to see Vancouver and of course do his part on the green front. Always on the look out for hot listings - Mike takes advantage of the small geographic area of the downtown core and waterfront to keep on top of the market and immediate trends. Of course when the entire city is your favorite place - it's hard to list specific venues. Mexican food is a favourite and of course any patio with friends or clients is a summer tradition. Running, hockey, "attempting" golf, roller blading, hiking and camping are just some of the items that take up the rest of his time.
Education
Mike was an aviation technical specialists in the Canadian Armed Forces for 25 years and attained numerous levels of aviation maintenance qualifications and middle - upper management positions, air crew instructional training and standards and active air crew tours travelling throughout the world. He was also involved in several small business start ups in Vancouver - which was an education that cannot be found in any classroom.
