About us

Welcome to the Lighter Side!

We’re grateful you’re here

The real estate industry can be heavy at times. Stressful, too. And competitive. We all know this. But if you’re not laughing, you’re not living. The Lighter Side exists to help you live a little better. And not only that, bring that to your sphere as well.

We thought we’d introduce ourselves and share the not-so-normal origin story about how Mike started the Lighter Side.

“Agents are notorious for using dated photos of themselves as headshots. We’re better than that. No, really. We’re better at using outdated headshots.”
