Meet the Team

Mike - Mike Street began his real estate career in 1975, right here in beautiful Traverse City.  During the past 35+ years, Mike has represented well over 4,000 real estate transactions totaling more than $400 million in sales volume.  He obtained his Associate Broker's License in 1980.  In January 2006, Mike merged his own real estate brokerage, Mike Street & Company, with the #1 real estate company in northern Michigan, Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors.

"Street's Sugar Shack", Mike's farming property, is located about 2 miles east of Kingsley.  Every early spring when the temperature starts to rise into the low 40's, he taps 225 trees to make delicious pure maple syrup.  During the warm summer and fall months, Mike also maintains several hives of bees which produce raw wildflower honey.  He enjoys farming his property as well, often planting grain crops.  Mike enjoys being outdoors in various activities.  He loves kayaking and canoeing, both in Lake Michigan and Lake Superior.  During the winter months, he enjoys 'skijoring' (a cross between snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and dog-sledding) with his Siberian Husky, Cody.  Along with Cody, Mike also enjoys taking hikes with his Weimereiner, Hank, and his yellow Labarador, Buck.  As a homeowner on beautiful Long Lake, Mike also enjoys lakeside living and fun with his family.  His wife, Jo, enjoys many activities including knitting.  His two eldest sons, Chris and Justin, both enjoy playing hockey, hunting and traveling.  Chris lives in Traverse City and works with his father in real estate; Justin lives in Colorado and works in law enforcement.  Mike's youngest son, Ben, is in college and is actively involved in choir and musical theatre.  Mike's daughter, Amanda, is enjoying her senior year of high school and is actively involved on the varsity tennis team.

Chris - A lifelong resident of northern Michigan, Chris has worked with his father as a sales associate on the Mike Street Team since 2001.  Chris enjoys being outdoors and has gone on hiking trips in both the Grand Canyon and the Wind River mountain range in Wyoming.  He enjoys kayaking and canoeing, specifically at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  He participates in many local running events, competing in both 10K and 15K races.  He is also an avid hockey player year-round, and he enjoys spending time with his wife, Nicole, and his friends and family.

Christy - Also a life-long resident of Traverse City, Christy has been the Marketing Director and Licensed Assistant for the Mike Street Team since 2006.  Christy graduated from Western Michigan University in 2002 with a degree in Practical Writing and Journalism, which she utilizes heavily in the marketing aspect of her position.  An active member of her church, she is a member of the church council and enjoys playing handbells and singing in the church choir.  She is an avid photographer.  She enjoys reading, quilting, cooking and spending time with her husband, Matt, and three stepsons.
