About

Hello there!  Mike Mitchell here, REALTOR® and Principal Broker with South and Company Properties.  I’m a God-fearing man, husband, father, and veteran of little league ball games, show choir performances, and beauty pageants.  I know that’s not saying much, but you’ll find a few personal insights and plenty of professional details as you dig deeper.


pROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

When I consider my real estate practice and ask myself, “Why do you do this? What gets you up in the mornings?” The answer is; the people, the relationships. I love the great team of folks I work with here at South and Company Properties and the property owners I meet along the way.

You see, real estate is a second career for me. Before diving in as a profession, I invested in land as a means of retirement savings while traveling throughout the southeastern United States providing network design, consulting, and engineering services in the Telecommunications industry. Truth be told, the land investments turned to hobby where the hands-on improvements became my pastime. Pastime turned to passion and now passion to licensed profession where I am truly blessed to enjoy a successful career in real estate!

OUTSIDE OF WORK

My hobbies and time away from work are a direct compliment to my career as a land professional. I spend a lot of time on my farm and in the woods while filming and photographing wildlife, raising a garden, making improvements to the land, and anything that involves a tractor, chainsaw, and a good fire.

My love for the great outdoors goes back to my childhood of running lines on the river and trying to keep up with my Papaw and big brother while chasing deer, squirrels, and rabbits through the Pascagoula River bottoms and the piney woods of south Mississippi. I still love to deer hunt and have recently found myself addicted to quack with a growing passion for duck hunting. I get FIRED UP about calling them in and watching my Yellow Lab, Drake work the retrieves!

SO THAT’S ME IN-SHORT

You can get to know me a little better through Facebook and Instagram. I hope you find that we share some common ground and that I am the perfect fit to assist you and your family with all your real estate needs. When you finish snooping me on social media, please know there is a personal invite waiting. Texts are great, but I would genuinely love to meet you. Pick up the phone and give me a call, so I can get to work for you!
