About a year ago, Mike and Marcy Riddle, owners of Rison Construction in Ortonville, decided to start a real estate business to compliment their construction company.
With that in mind, they opened Maximum Real Estate, LLC, which they operate along with Rison Construction..
Both Mike and Marcy Riddle are licensed realtors. Mike was licensed in 1988, while Marcy was licensed in 1995. Mike operates as the broker for Maximum Real Estate.
‘We were previously working through other real estate companies throughout Northern Oakland County,? Mike said. ‘We decided to open our real estate company to better serve our clients by giving them one on one service.?
He said their involvement in the construction end of the business was helpful as they began their real estate business.
‘What I think makes us unique is because we’re involved in construction and remodeling, we can help with financing, we are very creative when it comes to putting deals together, and we can help list and sell clients? homes,? Mike said. ‘We’re involved so much with the overall business that we have expertise in developing land, building homes, and remodeling homes. That’s one thing that makes us different, because we’re so diversified and we can work with the client one on one.?
He said developing partnerships with their clients is key to the growth of the business.
‘We want to be able to work with clients creating partnerships to help them develop their land and market their properties in order to achieve their maximum return,? Mike said. ‘We are very good at getting the deals done.?
Maximum currently has four employees on staff. Mike said they hope to increase their staff to approximately eight in order to maintain the efficiency of the company.
Maximum Real Estate currently does business in Northern Oakland County, Lapeer County, and Genesee County. Mike and Marcy hope to become further established in the area as they grow their business.
They are currently working with developers and homeowners on a number of projects throughout northern Oakland County, which will be developed and marketed in the spring of 2005.
