From Joe’s industry experience as an investor to Mike’s amazingly responsive and meticulous day-to-day support to Ani’s capable handling of the purchase process, these folks encompass everything you would want in a team handling your investment search. They are responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, transparent, and most importantly, pleasant! They took the intimidation out of our first investment purchase process, and we look forward to continuing to work with them for future investments. As an investor, you know how important it is to build a trustworthy team, and this team is that important first step of the process. Give them a go. You will not regret it!

I have been pleasantly surprised at the level of service from Nick Harris and the FIRE Realty Team. Nick has gone above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need to be successful. He took a lot of time during our first call to fully understand my needs, and has been extremely responsive since. Most impressively, he notifies me of properties that might be of particular interest to me, and even creates financial reports for the investments. I highly recommend Nick and hope to close many deals with him!

I loved working with Joe and Richi! Amazing people who know the area super well and truly care about what I am looking for. Not only are they professional and responsive and strategic, but their customer service is absolutely top notch. I loved working with them and won’t do another deal there without them.

What Our Customers Have to Say
Juan MaldonadoJune 23, 2024Shane Snow has been extremely pivotal at helping me and my family purchase our 1st rental property. His work ethic, patience and knowledge was quite admirable and very much appreciated. Shane is one of the best and happy to have him on our team.Mark HJune 12, 2024I cannot say enough good things about the FIRE Team! Mike and Joe were with us every step of the way, including answering our many, many questions, offering suggestions and feedback as we prepped and staged the house, and keeping us informed throughout. Listing day came and the FIRE Team really pulled out all the stops. It felt like we were on the floor of the New York stock exchange as the flurry of offers came in. What could have been an extremely stressful time was, in fact, fun! We were kept up to date continuously throughout the sale process. There wasn't a single time where we felt out of the loop or that we needed to ask what was happening. The multiple offers that Mike was able to negotiate were, frankly, far beyond anything we expected. We ended up with an offer that met every need we had, and then some! Not every house will go so far above asking as ours, but you can be assured that the FIRE Team will absolutely get you the best offer possible for your home. We will continue to recommend them to anyone and everyone we know that may be looking to buy or sell a home! P.S, This is the second house we've sold with them!Herman BurlesonJune 9, 2024I highly recommend Mike Helfant and the FIRE Reality Team! As a European investor, you have the disadvantage of not physically being there. It is important that the people you partner with are trustworthy, have integrity and are available when you need them. You also want a transparent process of which you know all the steps in advance. Mike and FIRE Realty provided all of that and more! Their expertise and unwavering support were amazing. From the very beginning, Mike took the time to assess what I wanted and provided lucrative investment opportunities. Once we agreed on one, he walked me through every step of the purchasing process, providing guidance and expertise. I am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to buying the next one with Mike and FIRE Realty!Emma RossJune 3, 2024I just purchased two duplexes with the help of Mike Helfant, and I plan to continue working with him.

This question is harder to answer. If you’re house hacking (meaning you will live in the property) this number can be as low as a few thousand dollars. If it’s a straight investment, typically around $25,000-$30,000 is the minimum we like to see someone have to cover the down payment and closing costs of a good property while still having some money in reserves for a rainy day.
