Michael Thompson, Realtor with CENTURY 21, serves the land, commercial, and residential real estate needs of buyers and sellers in Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee counties of South Carolina (SC).
Michael Thompson came to the real estate profession after spending 15 years in corporate business. His last position was a commodity manager for the largest automotive supplier in the world. Their annual sales are approximately 30 billion dollars annually. Michael's responsibilities were to manage a 56 million-dollar account, to negotiate contracts, and to look for cost-cutting measures to name a few.
He traveled domestically and internationally doing business with men and women from various countries all over the world. For example, he has participated in international business conferences where the participants included representatives from Australia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Mexico, and USA.
After a great deal of soul searching, Michael concluded that there was more to life than bringing profit to corporate America. So, he decided to challenge a 16-year incumbent on the county council. He won!
Michael was re-elected to the county council and served as its chairman. He served on the Board of Directors of the following organizations; the Appalachian Council of Governments; Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce; and Innovate Anderson. He is currently serving on the Board of Directors of Worklink Workforce Investment where he is a member of the Administrative and Finance Committee.
When Michael won his first election to the county council, he left corporate business and entered the real estate profession. He has done very well in this profession. He had five closings in his first six months, which is outstanding. He was named "Agent of the Month" during his fourth month for having sold the most in his agency during the previous month.
Michael can work on both sides of the real estate transaction, buying and selling. For example, Michael was the third Realtor to list this beautiful 5BR, 3.5BA Georgian loaded with many features that listed for $339,000. He sold it in 52 days!
Another example is this 3BR, 2.5 brick ranch which listed for $89,900. Michael was the fourth Realtor to list this property. The previous three Realtors did not even bring the sellers a single offer. Michael had the first offer in 29 days! The sellers were about to give up hope until Michael came along.
Michael earned an MBA degree from the Debusk School of Business and other degrees in organizational management and engineering technology. He is a veteran of the United States Navy and a graduate of the Naval Nuclear Power School with specialty in reactor operations. He is also a graduate of the Wyatt Institute of Real Estate.
So, when Michael is not helping families find their new home or helping to sale their old one or helping an aspiring business person find that ideal commercial property; he is helping to improve roads, resolving county issues, or responding to his constituents concerns. He finds all these activities very rewarding because he is making a difference in the community and in other people's lives.
If you are looking for a real estate professional that understands business, the art of negotiations, and the importance of customer service, then Michael Thompson is the Realtor for you!
