About Michael
Immediately after high school in 2005, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as a 13F Forward Observer for the Artillery. I had a very successful 5 year career which included 2 tours of duty in Iraq. I was in Baghdad as part of the "Troop Surge" of 2007-2008 and stationed in northern Iraq in 2009-2010. I decided I wanted a family, and the Army life wasn't conducive to the type of family life I wanted to have, so after my last tour, I returned home and enrolled in college at Black Hills State University. While enrolled and attending classes I became a Rapid City Police Officer. I loved that career. I made a lot of friends and learned many valuable lessons over the 2 years that I was there. I was involved in 2 shooting incidents in early 2012 and decided it was a sign that I should shift my career focus elsewhere. I had purchased my first home while I was a cop, and always felt it was a strong possibility for me to become a Realtor, so in March of 2012 I began studying for my Real Estate License. I obtained that license in June of 2012 and quickly found that my extreme work ethic and passion for service put me miles ahead of my peers. Within my first 3 years I was in the top 5% of agents in my market according to sales volume. I have continued to provide top tier service and guidance to my clients and as the Broker/Owner of Ascend Realty Inc. I am now dedicated to creating a group of agents who can provide that same elevated level of service under my guidance.

About Henry
Henry Ulrich 605-490-2040 Roy@HenryRoyRealEstate.com Most people don’t wake up thinking, “I should learn everything about Henry today.” They just want someone who can actually help them through the big stuff… buying, selling, relocating, upsizing, downsizing, investing, tight timelines, or just figuring out what the next move even looks like. That’s where I come in. I’m Henry, a Realtor in the Black Hills focused on making real estate feel a whole lot less overwhelming. I help people navigate major life changes, whether you’re • moving because your family is growing, • relocating for work or military orders, • selling a place that no longer fits, • buying your first home, • starting fresh after a tough chapter, or • investing to build something long-term. My background is a mix of real estate, photography, and five years as a reserve police officer. Translation… I stay calm when things get tense, I pay attention to the details most people miss, and I’m not afraid to have the conversations that actually need to happen. I market homes the right way, negotiate hard, and explain things in a way that makes sense. Designations and what they mean for you: • **CRS (Certified Residential Specialist)** – Proven experience and production, not just theory. • **ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative)** – Strong buyer representation, protecting you and helping you avoid costly mistakes. • **MRP (Military Relocation Professional)** – Experience with PCS moves, timelines, and VA loan nuances. • **SRS (Seller Representative Specialist)** – Strategic pricing, marketing, and negotiation to protect your equity. • **SFR (Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource)** – Ability to navigate more complex or distressed situations when things aren’t straightforward. • **CHLMS (Certified Home Luxury Marketing Specialist)** – Elevated marketing and presentation for higher-end homes. Outside of real estate, I’m a husband, a dad of three, and a small business owner. I also tend to answer my phone more than I probably should, but that’s just how I operate. If you want straight answers, real communication, and someone who treats your move like it actually matters, reach out anytime. Whether you’re ready to take the next step or just need honest advice, I’m here to help.

About Emily
I became a licensed Realtor® in 2023, but I jumped in with a head start. I began my real estate career coordinating transactions, so from day one, I knew how to navigate timelines, contracts, and the occasional curveball with calm, clarity, and color-coded checklists. Today, I help people relocate, settle, and make big moves in the Black Hills. Whether it’s your first home, your third, or your “we just need a guest room and a view” upgrade, I’m here to make the process smart, smooth, and genuinely enjoyable. I specialize in first-time buyers, military relocations (I’m MRP certified), and local folks moving up, downsizing, or just ready for a new chapter. I bring deep local knowledge, strong negotiation skills, and an honest, hands-on approach to every deal. If you’re looking for a Realtor® who knows the area, answers your texts, laughs with you through the stress, and fights for your win, I’m your girl.

About Michael
Hey there, I’m Mike Miller — Broker Associate, proud South Dakotan, girl dad x2, husband to a rockstar wife, and your go-to real estate guy with the 5-star reviews to prove it. I’m not just here to help you buy or sell a house — I’m here to make the whole process as smooth, stress-free, and maybe even enjoyable as possible (crazy concept, right?). Whether you’re buying your first place, upgrading, downsizing, or just trying to figure out your next move, I’ve got your back from start to sold. I live and work right here in the beautiful Black Hills, and I bring honesty, hustle, and a healthy dose of humor to every transaction. No fluff, no pressure, just real talk and real results. When I’m not negotiating deals or hustling on behalf of my clients, you can find me outdoors, fishing, camping, or cheering too loudly at a game. I live for family time, good food, and helping people’s real estate dreams come true. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, transparent, and just a little too into real estate, let’s chat. I’ll bring the expertise and the dad jokes — you just bring the vision. Let’s make it happen!

Above and Beyond in Every Way—Professional, Responsive, and Truly Compassionate

Working with Henry to sell our home was an exceptional experience from start to finish. His level of professionalism, discretion, and dedication truly set him apart. Henry’s work ethic is second to none—he approached every detail with intention, precision, and a clear commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. What impressed us most was his responsiveness and elevated level of service. He was consistently available, proactive in communication, and always one step ahead. Henry anticipated needs before they arose and handled every aspect of the process with a calm confidence that made us feel completely at ease. What meant the most to us, however, was his understanding and support during a very personal and uncertain time. With the arrival of our baby came a medical situation filled with unknowns, leaving us unsure whether we would even move forward with selling our home. Henry met us with patience, compassion, and flexibility—never adding pressure, only offering steady guidance as we navigated those waters. That level of care is something we will never forget. He went far beyond what we ever expected from a real estate agent, delivering a level of service that felt both deeply personal and truly elevated. The entire experience was seamless, thoughtful, and expertly managed. We highly recommend Henry to anyone seeking a refined, full-service real estate experience.

It was a smooth process from beginning to end working with Henry!

It was a smooth process from beginning to end working with Henry!

I was living in SC wanting to move back to SD and was fortunate to find Henry. He took the time to get to know what I was looking for and the timeline in which I wanted to move. I was able to fly out for a weekend (with my mother!) and we toured 7 homes around the Rapid City area. He was knowledgeable of the different areas and what they could offer me if I chose to live there. Henry was very patient and did not put any pressure on me. With this being the second home I've purchased, and he was able to explain everything in a way I understood without all the "realtor jargon." Henry communicated in a timely manner and kept me informed throughout the whole process. When I found a home, thankfully he was able to offer a solution for a dilemma which could have prevented me from securing the home I wanted. Henry also linked me up with a financial lending group which was very efficient and we were all in constant communication. I would highly recommend Henry to anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home in Rapid City or its surrounding locations. *****

A gentleman and a scholar!

Henry, or as I call him, Roy, is the absolute epitome of professionalism and integrity. He is knowledgeable about current trends in markets and truly works for YOU. If you have a dream, Roy can, and will, leave no stone unturned to make sure that dream comes true. Whether you are buying or selling, there is no better person to help you achieve your real estate dreams! Roy received a 5 star rating from me, only because there wasn’t a 6th star option! He truly goes above and beyond and will treat you as his family.

Henry is the man!

Henry took the time to understand my wants and needs. He was able to find me a place that exceeded all my expectations for an unbeatable price. He’s knowledgeable about real estate in the black hills from both a professional and personal perspective. He is a great negotiator and was able to provide me with multiple options to ensure we could close on a property with a good deal. He fights for his clients to ensure they get the best deal. He helped me purchase my first home and made the process seamless. He went above and beyond to help me understand the home buying process and how to identify deal-breaking issues with properties. I will continue to use Henry as my realtor as long as he’s in business. If you are interested in finding deals you didn’t even know existed then contact Henry and he will hook it up!
