Mike’s Bio:
Mike Makredes is from Fresno, California. He has been in sales all
his professional life, and currently working in the Ag industry for
the largest melon, broccoli, and corn grower in the US. He handles
sales for over 12 million cases ($150 million) of produce per year.
What brought him to Chris and the Smart Real Estate Coach team was
the thought of getting out of the rat race and into a business that
he can control on his terms.
Chad’s Bio:
Chad Heeter grew up in a Kansas City real estate family. At 7 years
old, he was pulling weeds and picking up trash around the 30+
rental properties that his dad owned. Soon, he was promoted to
mowing lawns and painting. Years later, Chad continued on his own,
purchasing and rehabbing his own rental properties. After his wife,
Elizabeth, passed away in 2017 after 16 years of marriage, Chad
needed to focus on raising his children on his own. He decided to
get back into real estate investing, something he could manage
while the kids were in school.
Not long after, Chad was introduced to Chris Prefontaine and the National Property Team. He’s proud to be connected to this incredible group of investors who are working to build win/win relationships by solving problems that many home sellers face, as well as helping home buyers achieve their dream of owning a home.
