Mike Olexa is founder and CEO of Inner Banks Living. His business module and philosophy were born from hands on experience. Mike’s first customer was himself, so he understands the challenges on a very personal level.
“The land investment model in Eastern North Carolina worked for me over the past 14 years and I want to share that model with our clients. I believe in the value of North Carolina real estate, culture, history and natural beauty,” explains Mike.
“My business philosophy is simple - you build it right or you don’t build it. Inner Banks Living was created with a vision to help people attain their long term goals, whether it be to increase their net worth or providing them an elite location to live," adds Mike.
Investing in land himself has given Mike an insight that few have. “A lot of people have been hurt with their investments in the past two years and people need a solution right now.
I have built Inner Banks Living on a solid foundation of trust, integrity, and giving sound real estate advice to my clients.My clients trust me to do what is best for them. They know Inner Banks Living is behind them,” says Mike.
“I have committed my life to the Inner Banks Living of North Carolina. It will be difficult for you to find more passion for what we do in any other organization,” says Mike.
Mike Olexa Discusses Successful Real Estate Purchases
Watch Mike Olexa
in this exclusive video interview.
Mike discusses some of the things he looks for when purchasing real estate.
Demographics “I try to position my clients in areas that are growing. I look for things such medical facilities, airports and universities. I do my homework. I like to be in areas that will sell themselves and provide the amenities.”
Price Point “There’s an old saying, “Appeal to the masses”. When you do, appeal to the masses you appeal to the segment of the population that can afford your product. And here in North Carolina we have a very affordable product.”
Know the Comps (Comparables) “Make sure you are not buying in the middle or in the top end of the game.”
Warren Buffet “Warren Buffet once said, “When people are greedy, I am scared. When people are scared, I am greedy”. I look at this opportunity of the over-all real estate market right now as really an opportunity to position myself and my customers to buy good affordable properties at the right price.“Let’s face it. There are some amazing opportunities out there right now.”
Time Table “Patience is always the name of the game. I think you absolutely have to be at least 2 years out before you consider re-selling a property. You want to buy quality. You want to buy at the right price. But you got to be in the game for the long run.”
“You can’t be jumping in and out. I’ve seen it over and over. People jump into stocks; they jump into what’s hot and at the end of the day-it just never seems to work out.”.... “PATIENCE IS THE GAME." Said Mike Olexa.
