Mike Hardesty

So much so, that now I am a Realtor specifically helping others capture that same charm for their lives. Whether you are looking to buy or sell, I'm happy to partner with you in your journey.

Above and Beyond

We had an amazing experience working with Michael as our realtor. We did not live locally when we needed to sell our property, and he went above and beyond to help get the house ready for sale, including meeting companies for repairs, staging and follow-up. We then had multiple offers on our home within days of listing and were able to pick a wonderful family to sell it to. Would absolutely recommend Michael and use again if we ever move back to the area!

Always One Step Ahead

Canโ€™t say enough about Michael and his skills as a sellers and buyers realtor. Iโ€™ve had the pleasure of working with him 3 times now and every time Iโ€™m completely comfortable and left with less worries than I had with previous realtors. Heโ€™s always on his game and always one step ahead. Heโ€™s both honest and realistic however, he always game to try to push the envelope. Although I donโ€™t look forward to selling a house again, itโ€™s an inevitable situation for us and I take comfort in knowing Michael will be there for us once again.

A Knowledgeable Professional With Your Interests in Mind

We would 100% suggest using Mike if youโ€™re looking for a home, have already referred family members to him, and would absolutely do so again. Itโ€™s easy to get caught up in shiny social media real estate accounts run by people that donโ€™t actually know what theyโ€™re doing, or โ€œon-line house browsingโ€, underestimating the importance of an experienced realtor. Mike will put you at ease knowing that thereโ€™s a knowledgeable professional with your interests in mind, likely saving you time, money, and headaches, while helping you acquire your perfect home!

Thereโ€™s nothing better than a mid-morning trip to @pueblo.life for inspiration, a new plant, or a new pot which they always have a crazy good selection of. Drinking a great cup of coffee from @caffioespresso while exploring takes the experience to a whole new level. I love this place so much! #pueblolife
Weโ€™re back in the Willo Historic District today Weโ€™re back in the Willo Historic District today touring this reimagined Mid Century Modern Ranch Home built in 1955. The owners did a fantastic job of blending modern and bold design with the timeless character of the house resulting in a really great fusion. Upon walking into the home I was immediately in awe of the foyer that has beautiful woodwork, and perfectly separates two formal living spaces. I actually sat in a chair in the living room with the fireplace and looked out the window for a couple of minutes as it was just so serene. The backyard is another huge highlight to the home as itโ€™s perfect for entertainment or just relaxing on one of many beautiful sunny days here in Phoenix. The detached garage and small office is a huge bonus for this historic neighborhood, and makes this house the complete package in my opinion. 

Huge thanks to @thehousejudge for letting me tour the home! ๐Ÿ™Œ

As I was filming the exterior of this home another As I was filming the exterior of this home another realtor was walking up, and asked me what my favorite part of the home was. I responded with, โ€œIt has to be the living room with the original beehive fireplace and built-in bookshelf where they added the tile backsplash. I love the small details like that. That room feels good.โ€ 

Iโ€™m weird about the aura of a home, so that was honestly my favorite part. I could see myself spending a lot of time in that room if it were my home. Kudos to @designdwell_az for a really well thought out remodel on this one. They did take out two sunken living rooms, which I really love but I get it. Iโ€™m probably way more nostalgic than 95% of buyers. Itโ€™s more functional with the changes that they made, and they kept some really great original features of the home. I absolutely love the backsplash tile they added to the original built-in bookcase in the living room โค๏ธ #phoenixrealestate

The Willo Historic District is one of the most uni The Willo Historic District is one of the most unique historic districts with itโ€™s vast array of different architecture, and time periods of construction. The story on this one is that itโ€™s one of five homes built as a spec home by Paul Burroway in 1937. This is the only one built in the โ€˜โ€™moderneโ€™โ€™ style and titled โ€˜โ€™House of Charmโ€™โ€™. Itโ€™s going to take a very specific client to make it work, but the lot size is generous and it also includes a large storage shed in the backyard that could be converted into an office or reworked to some extent. So many wonderful details in this home that really makes you appreciate the thought behind the design. 

Thanks to Penny Parker with Keller Williams Arizona Realty for letting me tour the home for a client. The listing looks great! #azrealestate

Iโ€™ve been dying to see this house, so I wasnโ€™t Iโ€™ve been dying to see this house, so I wasnโ€™t disappointed when I had a client message me with interest to see it. The current owners have two little ones, so out of respect for the family I wonโ€™t be showing any of those rooms. THIS house is special! From the moment you walk in youโ€™re blown away by the craftsmanship, the flagstone floors, the fireplace, and the preservation of this early MCM gem. William Corbett Jr. wasnโ€™t a designer/architect/builder that I was familiar with, but itโ€™s apparent how much this house meant to him. Enjoy the tour! #phxrealestate

Yesterday was closing day for my awesome clients w Yesterday was closing day for my awesome clients who bought this historic gem in the Country Club Park Historic District. Iโ€™m out looking at homes all the time, and very seldom does a home actually make me think about selling my own home. This one did. I think this one is already pretty special, and I canโ€™t wait to see how they make it their own. Itโ€™s not very often that you find a home in these historic districts for under a million that has a huge lot, large square footage, potential for 4-bedrooms, a pool, and a giant 3-car garage that could easily be an ADU. I could go on and on about this house (the Saltillo tile โค๏ธ), but Iโ€™ll stop yapping and let you enjoy the video. Congrats to my clients! You landed a real gem ๐Ÿ‘ #phxrealestate

The Los Olivos Historic District might be the smal The Los Olivos Historic District might be the smallest historic district in Phoenix, but all of the custom 1920โ€™s homes in the district pack a huge punch. This Historic Spanish Colonial is no different, and I just love sharing these really important homes. Donโ€™t forget to checkout the pictures of the wine cellar! Enjoy! ๐Ÿ™Œ
