Agent Bio: Mike Van Cleve

In this video:

I realized that we had done bio videos for our team members but I hadn’t sat down and talked about my background and how I got into real estate. In this video, I talk about how I started my career practicing architecture for almost 10 years, before going to work for a residential contractor and then getting my real estate license. I touch on the relationships we try to create with our clients and what we work to communicate.

With so many options in real estate professionals in Peoria, what sets us apart? In this video, I worked to communicate those differences. I hope that we get the opportunity to work together in the future. If there is a way my team or I can help, please let me know.
