I was born in Westmont and grew up in Lisle, where I graduated from Benet Academy in 1994. I hold a college degree in Journalism & Mass Communication from the University of Iowa. I currently live in Naperville with my wife, Erika, and our two children, who proudly attend District 203 Naperville Schools.

I began my career in real estate soon after graduating from Iowa. With more than two decades of experience in residential real estate sales, I have built my business around excellent customer service and a strong referral base. I handle every transaction as if it were my own. Understanding what buyers and sellers need to accomplish their goals is my top priority.

I work primarily by referral, and the only way that works is if I do a good enough job for my past clients to refer me. My future is in your hands.

We were originally with a different agent looking for our first home when after a few months we transitioned to Mike Long. He has been involved in over a dozen real estate transactions within our family. When had our first call with Mike, we could tell he was an advocate for what we were looking for and positioned himself as someone we could trust navigating our home search. In one of the most challenging real estate markets and after looking at three dozen homes, we knew Mike was not a quitter. His optimism carried us through some of the most difficult weeks of our search. However, day in and day out, he brought humor, a shoulder to cry on and ensured that we didn’t stray from our core non-negotiables. Mike Long is an exceptional realtor.

Having Mike Long sell our property recently was akin to asking a lifelong friend to do the due diligence to complete the sale. Mike's relaxed, no pressure style set the tone for the entire process. While being exceedingly knowledgeable about the current market and past industry history, Mike was always open to suggestions, comments, and questions. His comprehensive approach to the transaction, including his recommendations for service providers that are part of the marketing and legal team, guarantees a seamless sale experience.
We would not hesitate to recommend Mike's services or use him again if/when the opportunity presented itself.

Mike was great! He was always on time, well prepared, and conscience of our needs. He worked hard to sell our home. We initially chose Mike over the other 3 realtors we interviewed, not because he gave us the highest listing price, but because he was honest, straight forward and had knowledge and data to back up his numbers. Throughout the listing, showings, negotiations, and sale of our home he stayed true to these qualities that made us choose him in the first place. It was a pleasure to work with Mike.

As first time homeowners, Mike Long made this new adventure for us enjoyable. Mike has an eye for detail and was able to share his expertise with us as we toured homes. He was never pushy and always had our best interest in mind. Mike went above and beyond before and during our closing process and was there to help us every step of the way. He was easily reachable through phone, email and open to meeting in person to go over anything. Mike was patient, knowledgeable and answered all our questions. We are fortunate to have worked with Mike and will highly recommend him to anyone.

We would highly recommend Mike Long to anyone in need of a real estate professional. Throughout the home buying process we were not only able to rely on his knowledge and experience, but also his willingness to assist us with inspections, contractors, and the many questions that would arise.

Mike Long is very knowledgeable about the area and I believe that this is why we sold quickly and for more money than we thought possible. He is very professional and friendly and explains every step along the way. He took a very complicated and stressful process and made it a little bit easier to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

Mike provided outstanding services in terms of building our knowledge and understanding for selling and purchasing, guiding us through the processes, and advocating for our best interests.

Mike has provided a comprehensive service starting from our initial consideration to sell our previous home to supporting us with vendors and contractors after the purchase of our new home. We will continue to seek recommendations from Mike because we trust him and the quality of his work.

My experience working with Mike Long was nothing short of wonderful. He was attentive, helpful and patient with all my question and concerns. Mike went above and beyond to help me whenever I had a question. Mike is honest and trustworthy and it was always obvious that he had my best interest in mind; I never felt like a "client". He is a true professional, but also made me feel as though I was working with a friend. That meant a lot to me. Mike was very knowledgeable, which made me feel even more comfortable working with him. I would say working with Mike is what made my experience so seamless and stress-free. I will definitley use Mike for future real estate needs.

We were looking to relocate to Indiana as soon as we sold our house. With Mikes help we were able to do that and are now in Indiana.
Mike was very hands on and was always there when we had a question.
We would definitely recomend Mike to anyone who was a first time seller because he is very knowledgeable and was always happy to help.

Mike Long is an extremely exceptional realtor! He really took the time to find out our needs and wants. He did an awesome job negotiating the best price for our house. I will recommend Mike Long for all my friends and family!

After we had lost the initial sale of our home with another realtor, Mike Long was hired and sold our home again within 2 weeks. This allowed us to purchase the original home we wanted to buy from our first sale. The second sale had a few issues as well but Mike was able to get the deal done. We are very happy in our new home and very grateful to Mike for helping us make it happen.

My husband and I appreciate that Mike Long is very hands on and addressed each of our concerns personally. It was refreshing to communicate with him directly rather than having to discuss our situation with someone unfamiliar with our transaction.

Mike Long is a very professional real estate agent. He is knowledgeable, honest and has exhibits a lot of integrity. My husband and I were comfortable and confident in his abilities from start to finish. Mike was always available to answer questions and assist with any of our needs. We appreciate his representation of us in selling our family home.

Mike Long was always one step ahead throughout our home buying process. As a true real estate professional, we found him to be pro-active, creative, insightful and knowledgeable. On multiple occassions during our negotiations, he suggested key strategies that we feel helped us secure our new house. We would recommend him without hesitation to any buyer who wants to work with the best in this industry!

Mike was amazing at helping guide us in finding our new home. He really took the time to explain and even teach us along the way. Never once did we feel rushed or worried. He made the buying process fun. Mike was great!

Mike Long was the consumate professional when handling our home purchase in Geneva. He paid attention to everything we said, focused our search based on the input he received from us, and showed us so many homes that met our criteria that it was very hard to finally choose!

When we did decide on a house, and we had some difficulty with the property, Mike Long was right there to help guide us through the muddy waters, give us the proper advice, and ultimately get us quickly into the house we eventually purchased when we had to cancel our original choice.

Mike Long reassured us all along the way during this time, and made what was a very stressful and difficult problem so much easier with his handling of the situation.

The best part was Mike Long was able to accomplish all of this and keep us within the timeline for moving that we had to meet due to the requirement of our relocation company.

We had to have our house sold in California, house purchased in Illinois, packed, loaded, moved, and unloaded within 4 months of April 14, 2014. Because of Mike Long, we were able to accomplish this huge task not only on time, but a full month early!

I would recommend Mike Long to anyone looking to have a professional, hard-working, focused, people-oriented real estate broker in their corner. I would use Mike Long again tomorrow if I had the need, and would recommend him to family, friends, or anyone for that matter without hesitation or worry.

Thanks Mike for all you did for us...so very much appreciated!
