After doing things the large agency way, it was time to rethink the proverbial meaning of life a little. Because the big trophies and big pay checks eventually led to more meetings, more management and more mindless minutiae, I decided I was ready to get back to the nitty gritty. The hands on. The down and dirty. The stuff I love instinctively and labor over obsessively. So in August of 2006, I ventured out, and took on my first client and have been at it every since. At Micky Carpenter Realty LLC, we pride ourselves on our interpersonal skills and ability to maintain great, Real Estate relationships with our clients no matter what size.
