Are you looking for someone who can represent you as a real estate agent in and around the Charlotte Huntersville area, or are you an agent looking to grow your business? Either way, what matters in a property buying or selling experience is a lasting impression long after the sale is done, and a realtor you can rely on.
We spoke to Mike Hege, MRE one of the founding principal team leaders licensed by the state of North Carolina, affiliated with Compass. Compass is a real estate brokerage out of NY that is the largest independent agency in the US. What separates Mike from others is that he and his company align with the nation’s leading independent luxury brokerage. They tap into a vast network of resources to serve clients between their concierge program to a national network of top agents.
But, it was not the same when Mike started.
The ups and downs between cash flow, emotional roller coaster and maintaining the faith that this was a good decision – Mike went through it all. Real estate was alluring for many reasons but the primary drive for Mike was and always will be – working with others to help achieve their goals and dreams.
Becoming A Realtor
Having been in the real estate business since 2005, Mike enjoys many returning clients & repeating referrals. He shares clients’ value, consistent follow-ups, detailed consultations with a caring attitude. He developed his skills of consulting and compassion in his previous career as a Registered Nurse (RN). Later, with a vision to make it big, Mike earned a Master’s degree in Real Estate (MRE).

He is in the top tier % of producers in the Charlotte market named “Best of the Best” in Top Agent Magazine and the consecutive winner of 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 – Five Star Real Estate agent in Charlotte Magazine.

The Road To Success
Mike believes in creating a character to keep moving forward. Even during the recession, Mike confesses, there are a lot of fears. He believes that success is winning a deal, happiness in family and winning in general. The thing about climbing the mountain with your own business is when you think you have reached the top over the clouds and you realize there is another hill to climb.
Mike’s advice to emerging realtors would be to research and plan as much as possible. At some point, remember that done is better than perfect and go for it. Also, mindset is everything, suggests Mike. Listening to positive messages, reading forward-thinking books and talking affirmations to keep good headspace with the right attitude is critical.
