Michael Pugh

In a challenged national real estate market, Mike Pugh, owner and principle broker of Old Dominion Realty, did not shy away from a slowing market. Instead, he moved forward. He diversified and expanded his company with the focused goal to better serve clients.
Pugh's forward thinking was just one reason he was recently honored by the Harrisonburg Rockingham Chamber of Commerce which named him the 2012 Business Person of the Year.
Pugh led Old Dominion Realty into growth by becoming part owner of Bankers Title-Shenandoah, a Virginia bank-owned corporation that provides title services. In 2009, Old Dominion Realty became a shareholder in VBS Mortgage, an addition which permits Old Dominion Realty to provide mortgage services to clients.
Old Dominion Realty, serving Virginian communities of the Shenandoah Valley and eastern West Virginia, is unmatched in resources afforded to its clients. It is the only full service real estate firm in the area which provides mortgage and title services.
Pugh has served as a member of the board of Harrisonburg Rockingham Chamber of Commerce. He said the local chamber of commerce is a wonderful asset to Old Dominion Realty. He said working with a chamber opens the door to personal relationships that last for years. He has served as the past president and current board member of the Harrisonburg Rockingham Association of Realtors. He is also a member of the Greater Augusta Association of Realtors, the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors, the Lexington, Buena Vista, Rockbridge Association of Realtors, the Metropolitan Regional Information System, the Massanutten Association and the Potomac Highlands Board of Realtors.
