Mike Ferrante has been a licensed real estate agent in Northeast Ohio for more than 19 years, and he has worked in real estate for more than 35 years as an investor, rehabber, property manager, and contractor. He founded the Mike Team and still leads it. Today a growing share of his time goes to training agents and setting the standards they work by, while he stays involved in the luxury, construction, and investment questions he knows best.

More than one side of the deal

Before most clients meet Mike, he has usually seen their kind of property from the other side too.

• Brokerage. More than 19 years as a licensed agent, now a Broker Associate with LPT Realty.
• Renovation and construction. Through BAMCO Builders, Mike has built homes and renovated more than 50 properties. He knows what a repair really costs, what's behind the drywall and what buyers will pay for.
• Investing. Mike buys and owns real estate himself, so he runs the numbers on rentals and renovations the same way he does for his own properties.
• Business. He holds an MBA from Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management and a bachelor's degree from Heidelberg University.

That mix is where the Owner's View came from. A sale or a purchase looks different when you've owned, fixed and resold homes yourself.

Teacher and trainer

Mike teaches Ohio continuing education classes for real estate agents and runs the Mike Team's weekly Tuesday trainings. He is a national speaker who travels out of state to speak to agents, and he was a featured speaker at LPT Realty's FallCon conference in 2026. He also hosts the Free Beer and Real Estate podcast, where he talks with agents, lenders, and other people in the business.

The Mike Team's YouTube channel has hundreds of videos, including home tours, agent trainings, and straightforward advice for buyers and sellers. It's an easy way to see how Mike and the team think before you ever pick up the phone.

The team he built

Mike built the Mike Team to be bigger than one agent. Today the team's agents bring their own experience in investing, estate sales, new construction, first-time buyers, lake living and more, all working from the same approach.

The Mike Team has completed more than 3,000 transactions. Mike's role is to make sure every client gets the same standard of advice, whichever agent they work with.
