More About Mike

WHY WORK WITH ME?

Choosing the right real estate professional can make all the difference. Here’s what sets me apart:

Deep Local Roots & Community Insight

As part a Gasparilla Island and Charlotte Harbor pioneer family, my connection to this region runs deep.   


Knowing the area is one thing — being part of its story is another. I grew up fishing the backwaters, exploring every inch of the island, and learning the rhythms of this coast firsthand. From the hidden neighborhoods to the history behind each street, I offer insights that go far beyond what you’ll find in a listing.

Strategic Navigation of Complex Transactions

Before transitioning into real estate, I captained large commercial vessels through some of the world’s most challenging waters.

That experience taught me the value of preparing for every possibility, sharpened my attention to the smallest details, and instilled the ability to stay calm under pressure. It also trained me to solve complex problems on the fly and lead with precision — all critical skills when navigating high-stakes real estate transactions.
Today, I bring that same level of focus and discipline to every client I work with.

Clear Communication & Client-Focused Service

I believe that buying or selling a home should feel empowering—not overwhelming. I’m here to guide you through every step with honest advice, timely updates, and thoughtful answers to your questions. My goal is to make sure you feel confident, informed, and supported throughout the entire process, so your experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Attention to Detail That Makes a Difference

Success in real estate is often in the details — and I don't miss them. From crafting strategic offers to reviewing contracts and coordinating deadlines, I bring the same discipline and diligence to your real estate journey that I once applied navigating ships through narrow straits and stormy seas.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Truly impressive !


Mike did an amazing job on a complex sale! This was a large waterfront property that had to be divided at closing and sold to two different buyers, which required navigating multiple County government offices. Despite the challenges, he sold it at full asking price. Truly impressive work."


Clyde & Carol N.




⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


"Outstanding!


Mike went above and beyond traditional requirements in a real estate transaction! I would recommend him for all of your real estate needs. He is homegrown, knows the area, and resides nearby. He understands the uniqueness of North Port Estates and works diligently to find the right buyer for your property. 

Mike created a drone video of my property that I will keep as a momento of my 20 years as owner of "Nine Oaks." The sales materials were exemplary and showcased the finer points of my house and property. These are just a few of the ways that Mike exceeded my expectations.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️


Spot On!


"We told Mike we were heading to North Carolina for a week to find our new mountain cabin and asked if he could sell our Florida home while we were gone. We wanted to get the best price possible—and fast. Mike delivered on both. The property sold in just 9 days at a good price, and we were able to move into our new home without a hitch. His service was spot on, and he always called us back right away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️



Patient, Honest, and Communicative!


Mike Nabers was our realtor, not only for a beautiful piece of land, but also for a Villa for my mother-in-law. He has been fantastic throughout the entire process for both properties. Mike was extremely patient, honest, and communicative to our every need. Working with him and Michael Saunders & Company has been a pleasure, helping make a stressful out-of-state move a much easier process for us as a family. We plan to work with Mike again for any future real estate needs.


Thank you!"
