Presidents' Page

Hi, My name is Mike, and I'm the owner, President, CEO, Big Guy, HeadCheese of this HUGE company.

I'm taking this opportunity to introduce myself and convey my goals for Newton Centre Associates.

I grew up on a small farm in upper New England, northern Maine to be exact. If you ever get a chance to go there, don't bother-there's nothing there. (OK that's "harsh"- as my friends & family have pointed out) But the fact that there is nothing there is why it's a beautiful place and it is a beautiful place. Farm life gave me an understanding of hard work and the rewards of a strong work ethic. I like to think this follows me today.

I moved to Boston for college, studied music, pursued it, became very hungry and fell into Real Estate.

I've been in the Real Estate industry for over ten years. I really enjoy the challenges and the life style this kind of business provides. In the begining I was surprized at the disregard for customer service. The simple things in an agents' control were being over looked. Because of this I believe there is a great opportunity in the area of rentals. My priority list is long, but it starts with giving the best possible service. The last few years have been a great; we've grown considerably in the last year. Newton Centre Associates is becoming the successful company I had hoped it would. Success can mean many different things and there's personal success, business success, etc, etc.

Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke of success this way...

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
