Mike Bowler Sr.

Hi! My name is Mike Bowler. I have been in the real estate business for 30 years and love real estate. Sharon (my wife and friend of 42 years) and I started Coldwell Banker Bowler Real Estate back in the early 80's, grew it to a four office company through mergers and acquisitions. In 2001 I became a member of the team at Coldwell Banker Hubbell Real Estate who bought my company. I service the entire greater Lansing area, and look forward to helping and serving you with all your real estate needs.

I always tell my clients and customers that my best "Letters of Designation" are G.U.T.S that stands for guts enough to tell you the truth of what it's going to take to get your house sold vs. telling you what you might desire to hear.

I am interested in living my life to it's fullest with my wonderful supportive wife Sharon who has stuck with me for nearly 43 years. We both enjoy our grand kids, traveling and sometimes just sitting down with a book on a quiet night. Sharon and I also enjoy volunteering and giving back to the community and participating at our Church. We believe in community.
Internet marketing through networking, Blogging and marketing has become my expertise and I really enjoy helping other people get what they what in life. I also enjoy theology, reading and Blogging about other topics besides real estate. The greater Lansing area and the real estate business have been very good to us over the years and we believe in paying it forward. In other words, giving back.
