technology has changed ... but people really haven’t.I have spent years developing one of the most dynamic websites for home sales and searches available on the internet, sharing a proprietary global network of my real estate resources with you. I am passionate about skating on the cutting edge of technology.
But what is really most important to me?
people.The most rewarding part of my job is building relationships that last a lifetime. Nothing takes the place of a friendly phone call to a client or an animated conversation over a cup of coffee. So I will keep open the lines of communication that really make a connection.
Email’s great but you can never delete a hearty handshake and a smile.

I promise honesty and integrity every step of the way. I promise only what I can deliver. Even when it isn’t what you necessarily had hoped, you can be assured of the truth.
I promise to be available.You will find me when you need me and will not be frustrated by dealing with machines and endless messages. My direct phone is my most efficient connection and I encourage you to contact me at 410-224-7184 first. I generally accept calls from 8:00 am until 7:30 pm, or contact me at :
I offer knowledge.I am thoroughly experienced in every facet of residential and investment real estate. My knowledge is yours. Your questions will be answered quickly and accurately.
I am a powerful negotiator with a commitment to securing the very best possible results for my clients. I especially enjoy this portion of a transaction and excel in reaching your future goals.
Showings: Showings are for your benefit, therefore, please make every effort to have your home ready and available to show at all reasonable times. The lock box will remain at the property until closing so that the house is accessible for the final walk-through and inspections. I will need to keep a key in my office until the property has closed.Utilities: On vacant properties or before closing on your current property, utilities must be available and in working order. “Walk-throughs” for agents, prospective buyers and home inspectors must be done with utilities on.Ancillary Services: Any services that are recommended by me are performed on an informational basis only and are offered solely as a convenience.Offers: In all cases, I try to present any offers at your home or in Champion offices at 711 Bestgate Road, Annapolis. The office provides any copies, teleconferencing, addendums and forms that may be necessary. For out-of-town sellers I will, of course, utilize facsimile DocuSign and mail services as necessary.
Appraisals:Appraisals by proven qualified appraisers will ensure that your property is appraised at the highest possible value. Inspections: Home inspections can take up to three hours. Often the parties will accompany the inspector during that time. As this service is paid for by the Buyer, the Buyers Agent will accompany the inspector.

where are listings are being viewed, how frequently, and while not by specific individual, we can characterize the type of buyer looking at your listing. This tells us how Internet marketing is working.
From our own website we are able to
generate reports on Showing Time appointment requests and also monitor traffic viewing your property listing.
Through CSS we are able to get
feedback from agents who have shown your property to get detailed market intelligence about property condition and the list price.

• I am moving up and need every dollar out of this house!Your next purchase price does not determine your sales price.
• Sellers’ needs!A purchaser’s offer is not predicated on the Sellers’ needs.
• Over-improvement!Improvement does not necessarily increase the value of a
property.• Lack of factual data!
Do not rely on rumor vs. current market data.• Bargaining room!
Fair market value can be supported by facts.• Lack of motivation!
Prolonged marketing time negatively impacts the price.• Lack of showings by Buyers’ Agents!
Buyers’ Agents are enthusiastic about showing well-priced properties.
• I want to start high! I can always come down.Your over-priced property will not compare favorably to the
other properties that are priced correctly in that price range.Buyers may not come back for a second look even if the
price is lowered. They’ve moved on!
The most serious pitfall of overpricing is that it inadvertently helps the neighbors
to SELL their home!

QR codes, the latest bar code technology, got their start in Japan, but their popularity has exploded in all areas of business and marketing due to the amount of information they can hold and distribute.
Whether it is vital contact information, a text message, a video link or website link, website QR codes are easily readable by today’s smartphone QR Reader apps and are changing the way to sell real estate!
An agent using QR codes to market your property with print media and signs will capture your potential buyer right in the palm of their hand, long after their newspaper classifieds have been pitched.
Everybody is watching YouTube today! It is especially popular with the X and Y generations. Since all the eyeballs are there, your property should be there, too! We use a professional production company to write a script, narrate with voice-over talent and produce a dynamic YouTube video.

“When we were moving to Annapolis in 2006, Michael worked hard on multiple house-hunting trips to find just the right house for my family. It was a pleasure to work with Michael and I recommend his services highly.”
Joanna ContiTop Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert
“Michael is a complete professional, a REALTOR ® for whom I have true respect. I have an ongoing working relationship with him, and he is the most thorough agent that I have ever worked with. I look forward to future business with him!” Karl D. Domin

“Michael is a true professional and an expert in his field. He guided us quickly through all steps to the final goal. We were extremely pleased and impressed with Michael and highly recommend him and his team to all those looking for real estate advice and service, especially in the Annapolis, MD area.”
Denis Doyle Top Qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity
“Mike provided great service to my family over a number of years as we tried to market and sell our home from a distance, in an extremely depressed market. We found his marketing and, more importantly, pricing strategies to be right on and highly effective. We were able to sell our home and I would recommend his services to anyone.”
Lee DingmanTop Qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative
“We would sincerely like to thank you and your staff for all your help in the purchase of our new condo in Annapolis. Our closing process went very smoothly and we are very excited to now be "homeowners.” Thanks again for all your patience and expert advice.”
Brian Ross & Carrie GerlhiTop Qualities: Patience, Expert Guidance CallMike.org
“A huge thanks for all of your efforts in helping us sell our country home. After trying to sell our home by ourselves without success, we listed with another company. After they didn't sell our home, Hamby Real Estate contacted us, but we chose yet another firm to represent us. After more than several months of being on the market, we were very frustrated, but again, your firm contacted us and we decided to list with Hamby Real Estate Group. To our amazement, you not only brought us one offer, but TWO within 30 days. Now we are sold and closed. We were very motivated to sell our house, because while our home was on the market, we owned another property several hours away. We are convinced that everyone should start out with Hamby Real Estate Group, and their house will be SOLD!”
Warren & Mary Klein
“I would like to thank you for all your patience and expert help in the purchase of my new condo. I went through many ups and downs during the sale process and your staff was always there to answer my questions and help me to feel at ease with everything. I would highly recommend your company to anyone interested in real estate. Again, thanks for all of your help!”
Joyce Samuels
“Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with your company. I needed to sell my home quickly so I listed my condo with you, and 18 days later I had an accepted offer! Your whole team worked well together, and I'm impressed with the way the marketing, prospecting and closing were handled. I really like that there was always someone available to answer my questions. I look forward to working with Hamby Real Estate in the future!”
James Traynor
“We want to thank the Hamby Real Estate Group for selling our home so quickly! We listed our home with Mike Hamby and within a week we had a total of 3 showings, and 2 of those wrote offers for the house. A few days later we had an accepted offer. The “For Sale” sign was just barely installed when a "SOLD" rider went on! The closing department paid close attention to every detail, and really made the whole process easy. We are very happy with the Hamby Team and would recommend them to everyone!”
