ALL ABOUT MIKE GAINES

WHAT MAKES MIKE TICK?

My wife and I are both Traverse City natives, and know and love Northern Michigan’s unspoiled beauty and irrepressible charm first-hand. I take great pleasure in sandy beaches, sparkling waters, food, music, the arts and all of the outdoor, cultural, and sporting activity that makes life Up North a pleasure year-round.

Traverse City’s unrivaled environment for raising families and its strong sense of community keep me firmly planted here. I enthusiastically share my passion for Northern Michigan living and my professional real estate expertise with my Clientele to their great advantage.

A graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), and also a perennial Top Producer in Grand Traverse area real estate, I love to spend time with my family and friends, especially skiing, sailing, camping, fishing, gardening, and coaching and volunteering in our community. Plus I love anything to do with old houses, old cars, and old wooden boats.
