Meet Mike
For Mike Tefft, real estate has never been just about buying and selling homes. It is about strategy, timing, value, lifestyle, and helping clients make decisions that continue to benefit them long after closing.
Mike moved to Raleigh from Buffalo, New York, in 1999 to coach ice hockey, bringing with him the discipline, competitiveness, and leadership that continue to shape the way he serves his clients today. He began his real estate career in 2005 and has since built a reputation as a trusted Raleigh real estate agent known for strategic guidance, strong negotiation skills, and an elevated client experience throughout the Triangle.
With nearly two decades of experience in residential real estate, luxury homes, investment properties, and property management, Mike brings a rare depth of perspective to every transaction. In addition to representing buyers and sellers, he personally owns more than 10 rental properties and several commercial properties. Alongside his wife, he also owns NET Property Management, Wake County’s premier full-service property management company. This firsthand experience gives Mike a clear understanding of real estate, not only as a place to live, but as one of the most important financial assets a person can own.
Whether advising a homeowner preparing to sell a luxury property, helping a buyer secure the right home in a competitive market, or guiding an investor toward long-term growth, Mike approaches every decision with precision, market knowledge, and a commitment to protecting his clients’ best interests. His goal is simple: to help clients make sound financial decisions, achieve exceptional results, and feel confident from the first conversation to the final closing.
Mike is proud to live and work in one of the most desirable regions on the East Coast. Out of more than 21,000 real estate agents in North Carolina, he has been recognized among the Top 500 Real Estate Agents in NC by Triangle Real Producers for over ten years.
Outside of real estate, Mike is still deeply connected to the game that first brought him to Raleigh. He coaches the 14U AAA Junior Hurricanes Girls Hockey team, which won its regional tournament in 2026 and went on to compete at Nationals. He is also an avid golfer and tries to get out once a week — purely for “market research,” of course.
For clients who expect expertise, discretion, strong negotiation, and a polished real estate experience, Mike offers more than representation. He offers trusted guidance, proven insight, and a lifelong commitment to helping people build wealth and live well through real estate.
