Hamilton REALTOR®
About Mike & You
I'll give you straight answers, treat you like a person and not a transaction, and do what I say I'll do.
How I Work
It Starts With Your Goals
Buying or selling a home is a big decision, and the right advice depends on what you're trying to accomplish. So that's where I start.
A lot of real estate is built around getting people to transact. I'd rather help you make the right decision, even if that means waiting or staying where you are.
What You Can Expect
Trust, Care and Integrity
Trust
I'll give you straight answers and my real opinion, without pressure. You can take the time you need to decide.
Care
I'll start by listening to what you want and need. You'll be treated as a person, not a transaction.
Integrity
I do what I say I'll do. You'll know what's happening and when. If something goes wrong, I'll own it and work to fix it.
After Closing
A Long-Term Resource
You might keep the same doctor, accountant or lawyer for years. I'd like to be that kind of resource for your home.
When you need help after closing, ask me. I can point you to people I trust.
My Background
Before Real Estate
I started in finance, first as an insolvency consultant at Richter and later as an underwriter at Congress Financial and RBC. That work taught me to ask more than what could go right. I also ask what could go wrong, how likely it is, and what it would cost you if it did.
I then spent 12 years co-founding and running a sports performance and media group in Mississauga. I've owned Mike McCarthy Realty since 2017.
I have an MBA from the USC Marshall School of Business and a BA in Mathematics from Bishop's University.
Where I Work
Hamilton and Nearby
I've lived in Hamilton for 12 years with my wife and our two teenage sons. I help buyers and sellers here and in Burlington, Waterdown, Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas and Grimsby, as well as parts of Haldimand, Norfolk and Brant counties.
