Michael Ponte

Mobile: 772-341-2511

Office: 772-283-9991
Email: michaelponte71@gmail.com

Info: Helping others is my PASSION! I have been working with and serving the public since before I was born! Back then the family business was coffee and donuts. My great uncle started things in Rhode Island and then my parents migrated to Connecticut bringing the business with them.

When I was a little boy hanging out in the coffee shop, there was always this one man who would say “I knew you before you were even born.” When I asked my mother how this was possible, she informed me she had worked behind the counter on the very day I was born so everyone felt they already knew me.

Helping others is my passion. I am truly happiest when I am engaged in the act of creating a possibility with another for their life and then working with them to help make that possibility become a reality.

Being a Realtor feeds my passion for helping others as well as my other great passion, people! Those who know me will often hear me say “People are my thing!” I love meeting and connecting with new people wherever I go. When my children were young and we would go new places, they would see me talking with someone and ask “Dad, do you know that person?” my response would be “I do now!”

To me, being a Realtor is about helping people. Whether helping them realize the dream of purchasing a new home OR even realizing their current home is their dream home, it’s all about helping someone find happiness.
