To say it in more detail…hmmm…You take a husband and wife (that would be Scott & Sam) their love for each other, their passion for helping people achieve their goals and dreams and a small, but mighty real estate company called Scott Mikel & Associates, Inc.

They have created such a desirable environment, for both customers and their peeps, that would be us, the agents.  They take time to recognize and celebrate us as individuals, as an example…our weekly, personalized one-on-one’s with the broker, yet promoting a beautiful and encouraging family atmosphere.  But, don’t get me wrong we definitely know how to joke, play and have fun around here! (You should’ve seen us at our office Christmas party!  Marshmallows a flying!!)

Of course, our broker is concerned with production, duh…what broker isn’t???!!  But he also truly cares about us, intellectually, spiritually etc.   I am always amazed at the amount of knowledge that both Scott and Sam have acquired and their willingness to share. 

My momma raised me to mean what you say and say what you mean, in other words, have and display integrity.  I am personally impressed by the level of integrity displayed by everyone here.  My momma is proud! 

I feel truly blessed to be a part of the Scott Mikel & Associates family.

Scott has always had a REAL open door policy.  Not one of those, when it’s convenient I will come find you.  He is available 24/7 and when you need help, he WILL be there.     

Our training standards are above any other I have seen.  I used to work for a title company before I came to be an agent and I worked with REALTORS everyday.  I have spent time in almost every Real Estate office in Clark County and when I say not one can compare to what I receive on a daily basis, I mean it.  Knowledge, experience, mentoring and guidance are just a few of the reasons I chose to work here and will remain here.  

This place is like family and I really enjoy working in an environment where you can trust the people you work with. It truly is invaluable.  We have a great time together in work and out.  

I realize that choosing a place to hang your license is a very difficult decision to say the least, but being an agent at Scott Mikel & Associates is not only a good decision but a GREAT one. 

I would be happy to talk to you if you have any questions.

Honestly there was never another choice I would even consider – and here’s why.

When I decided to get licensed, after nearly 15 years of training and supporting
Realtors on the perifery of the “business” , there
was only one person (that “one” is really two, Scott AND Sam) that
I would trust to teach me the right way to do this business. Having known
them both professionally for many years, I knew their level of industry knowledge,
integrity and professionalism. While Sam has had a top level career as a
producing Realtor, Scott has made his reputation donating his time and energy to making the industry a
better place for all Realtors, whether it’s helping steer the MLS for
all our benefit, to working diligently with CCAR in too many capacities to list, he and Sam are
on the pulse of the industry more than anyone else I know.

Throw in a great technology infrastructure, a very cool office with such a great vibe, endless
top level support and coaching, there is no where else I would rather be. I am far from being
a seasoned agent, and I really expected to struggle initially, especially with the market
transitioning, but for some odd reason I have found myself very busy with both buyers and
sellers since I joined SMA in July of this year….luck? I don’t think so, I’ve hitched my
career to a winning brokerage whose name preceeds it in the market – you should do the same!

We prefer that our agents NOT cold call, knock on doors or use any high-pressure methods.  We believe in loving our customers to the point THEY would feel it wrong to use another agent. 

We are only interested in agents who are willing to always “do the right thing” even when it might hurt.  We will only hire the best!

We expect your reputation as a Realtor to be above reproach.  We expect you to pay your Realtor and MLS dues timely.  We only want to be associated with the best and want that reputation for you and for our company.  We expect you to do the right thing toward your customers, the public, your family and each other.  We are thrilled that we have a “family” atmosphere.  We care about each other, we watch each other’s backs, we laugh when they laugh, we cry when they cry, and in between times we pray for all.

We believe there is room for such a company in SW Washington.  If this is the type of company you would like to be associated with, call me at 903-1144. 

We are big enough to be full service; we are small enough to take time for each one of you, to help you achieve your dreams, and to help you have a successful real estate career.

Thanks for reading.  Sam Mikel

While the downward pressures on commissions and market fluctuations have left the bricks and mortar brokers scrambling for ways to maintain any kind of bottom line, they are finding themselves forced into that corner of raising costs to the agents or cutting services or a combination thereof.    Going virtual helps relieve those pressures. At SMA we still maintain human support staff, considered by some to be the most critical element of any real estate brokerage.  A virtual model if done correctly still maintains the human components of administrative staff, easy broker access, associate brokers, and office manager, while holding and actually reducing the costs to agents.

Our  organizational structure is simple with the buck stopping with the guy whos name is on the sign.  You don’t have to go far to get an answer to your question.

Scott and Sam Mikel are co-owners of Scott Mikel & Associates Inc. 

Scott is the Designated Broker whose focus is on legal issues and technical training.

Sam Mikel is an Associate Broker who is a master at negotiation and helps out with training

Carrie Weaks is the Office Manager and soon to be an Associate Broker.  Carrie does everything from answer the phone to write paychecks, and since she is a licensed agent she can Legally support your efforts when needed.

The backbone of SMA virtual is our Agent Dashboard smavirtual.net.  This is a very dynamic website that provides you with all of the tools that you will need to become an effective virtual agent, including our design center and our transaction platform.  You can pick up your email here as well as check all of the latest real estate news national, state and local.  The site is constantly being improved and updated.  All members of the group contrubute to various parts of the site.

There are none because there is no office

Unlike others whose emphasis is on recruiting, ours emphasis is on customer service.  We don’t have to pay our agents to say nice stuff about where they work.  Our business is founded on integrity and ethical behavior, not on how much money we can make in our pyramid.  If you really want to know what it’s like to work here ask one our agents.  They’ll tell you without getting paid.  Our commission structure is fair and our agents are chosen first for their integrity and reputation.
