Mike Salkin is not your
typical Realtor. In addition to selling or managing real estate for over 20
years in the Omaha Nebraska area he has worked in the mortgage industry,
securities industry, studied law and is well versed in construction
sciences.
Through his experience in mortgage lending Mike has an
understanding of the mortgage lending process that helps buyers as well as
sellers deal with the numerous mortgage issues that can affect the viability
of a transaction. By thinking outside of the box, he has saved transactions
that otherwise would have been doomed.
Mike's experience managing
portfolios for an investment advisory firm and managing a branch office for
a securities broker dealer gives him rare insight into the macro and micro
economic factors that affect real estate investment. Our homes are often the
largest investment most of us ever make, so it makes sense to treat them as
one and use a Realtor that understands that.
The understanding of
contract law is critical in real estate transactions. The omission or
misplacement of just one word can change the meaning of a contract and put
the party making the error in jeopardy. Having an agent that understands
contract law is definitely an advantage.
Mike's strong understanding of construction sciences has helped many buyers and sellers negotiate favorably through the inspection process. He can help his clients understand problems and what it takes to fix them. Mike's access to discount contractors through his property management business saves sellers money in getting agreed upon repairs completed.
Mike is also active in the community. He was a
long term president of his HOA and was instrumental in the writing and
passage of local legislation working with the city council and various state
legislators.
Mike's long term and broad-based experience has made
him one of the toughest negotiators in the business. Few agents can match
his qualifications. He has honed his skills in "squeezing" every last dollar
out of a transaction for his clients. Most of all, Mike believes in value,
which translates into great service and low, low fees for his clients. No
wonder Mike sells so many homes. Put Mike's experience and expertise to work for you!
