About Mike

My wife and I moved to Hickory NC in 2005 from South Jersey. While we miss our family and friends in NJ, we have made the Hickory area our home and can not imagine living anywhere else. We raised our kids here and have seen this area thrive in recent years. We love the fact that we are in a small town with some big city amenities but are only an hour or so from Charlotte and Asheville.

I started working as an agent in 2006 and fell in love with helping people buy and sell homes. After a few years as a top producing agent I decided to strike it out on my own and created my own real estate firm in 2010 with Kathleen. I am still practicing agent but I am also focused on developing our agents and giving them the tools they need to be successful.

If you are looking to buy or sell a home, feel free to reach out to me and I will be happy to pair you with one of our expert agents to walk you through the process.

Homes.com Review

Mike was our seller's agent for a mountain house near Hickory, NC. Mike was very responsive, took great pictures, offered valuable advice and made inspection items a snap by coordinating the work so we didn't have to worry about a thing. His company has great tools that notified us of showings and allowed us to see the feedback provided by the buyers' agents. Mike was fantastic and made this experience very easy for us - highly recommend! From Zillow 12/24/14

Homes.com Review

My husband and I bought a house and sold our house with the help of Mike Kelly and Hickory Real Estate Group. It was a great experience. We first put in an offer on the house we brought and Mike negotiated with them and got us a fair price. Our house sold in 5 days. Mike priced it at a good price that we agreed on. He also sold my niece's condo in 5 days. Mike knows how to price homes in different areas to get them sold quickly. I'm sure not all of them sell in 5 days but with Hickory Real Estate Group they get it done for you. Thank you Mike Kelly and Hickory Real Estate Group for making our move after 44 years in the same house an easy transition. D. Martin (Posted on Zillow)
