ORLANDO » Find a Knowledgeable Realtor

In 2006 I moved from New York to Florida with my family of 6. Prior to moving I was in the physical therapy industry working with seniors for a huge part of my life. I have seen the ups and downs of the real estate market here in Central Florida. Deciding to educate myself on the Florida market is one of the best decisions made. Since then, I have been serving others with knowledge, commitment, experience and an emphasis on customer service. Looking forward to helping more families in the years to come.

We all know that Senior’s and Active Adults alike often face a unique and more difficult set of emotional, financial and logistical challenges when it comes time to SELLING or purchasing a home.

Family, friendships, loyalty and a zest for life are what makes Michael Allende the person that he is today. He was born in Brooklyn, New York and was raised in Southern New Jersey. Upon vacationing in Orlando in 1991 with his wife, Rosa, it became apparent that Central Florida would be the place they would call home. Since then, they have never looked back.

Although making the move would mean leaving family and long time friends behind, Mike has always maintained his long time friendships. “At the end of the busy day, it’s the people in your life that keep you focused on being happy and enjoying life.” Real Estate was always an easy choice for Mike, considering his extensive knowledge of the Central Florida area. “I love where I live, and I enjoy passing that enthusiasm through my real estate services.”

Whether it’s spending an afternoon at a theme park, taking a ride to the beach, watching a ballgame, or making it a cozy night at home with a movie, Mike and Rosa have made Central Florida their place to call home. When it comes to real estate, his professional service with a smile is his trademark. “My principle goal is to offer my clients’ the service they deserve, and fulfill their real estate goals.” His diligence and strong work ethic go a long way to making those goals a reality for past and present clients’. Family, friends, service, loyalty, and a beautiful wife…..those are the attributes that make Mike who he is. Central Florida is where you can find him…….
