About Mike

Mike Peel is an   certified Realtor, which is a National Association of Realtors designation earned by completing a comprehensive real estate internet technology course and exam.  

Mike has lived in the Saugatuck area all of his life.  His family was originally from Grand Haven, and his grandparents moved to Saugatuck.  Mike and his dad were in the commercial fishing business until it was no longer profitable, then they started a sport fishing charter service.  Mike was the owner and captain of the Cant Miss (Lake Michigan charter fishing boat) and also arranged charters for his and other charter boats also for 25 years.  He sold the business and became the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for a local fishing tackle retailer, specializing in internet sales.  During that time, a friend suggested he think about becoming a realtor.  Mike checked into it, completed the required classes, earned the license, and started a new career in 2001.  His sales experience, network of clients and friends, attention to detail, and hard work have resulted in a successful real estate business as both a listing and buyer's agent.

Goldie (pictured with Mike) is a golden retreiver he has had since she was a puppy.  She is Mike's best buddy, and a bit spoiled.  He also has Bandit (Goldie's son with a black lab) and Buddy, a 120 pound male golden that Mike's wife rescued from a neglectful home in Nashville, TN.      

Working as a full time realtor, Mike is able to provide clients with unbeatable service.  He will always be available to respond to your needs as quickly as possiable.  The nature of the real estate business in southwest Michigan necessitates that he is available and on call 7 days a week, including Sundays and holidays.  Many of our buyers are only here on weekends and holidays, so that's when we need to show them property on short notice whenever possiable.  Sellers also realize that due to our area being such a popular vacation destination, many of their showings will be on weekends and holidays. It's just the nature of the business with prime resort properties.
