Professional Resume

Michael Lescher,GRI,ABR,CRS

RE/MAX Showcase

Licensed in April of 1988, I  Graduated from the Realtors Institute in November of that year and received my Broker's License the following May.  I was inducted into the RE/MAX Hall of Fame in 1997 and earned my Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation in 1999.  As your Realtor I feel it is my job to:

            1.  Bring you market information,

            2.  Assist you in interpreting that information,

  3.  Discuss and understand your goals and  time frame,

            4.  Market your property and give you feedback,

            5.  Assist you in negotiating

            6.  Follow through until closing

I assist but YOU MAKE THE DECISIONS, because, after all, it's your house.
