Mike Cranston has called the Gulf Coast home for over 20 years. Originally from the Midwest, he moved here with his wife, Dawn, to pursue a career in real estate. They’ve since raised two wonderful daughters, Isabella and Gabrielle. Mike's journey in real estate began when he joined his parents, Bill and Joanne, to form the Cranston Team back in 1998. Together, they set sales records that remain unmatched in the area.
With a strong background in accounting and finance, Mike holds degrees from Indiana University and Tri-State University. His expertise allows him to provide precise, numbers-oriented advice, whether you're a homeowner or an investor. He has extensive experience with 1031 Deferred Tax Exchanges, and he's helped clients navigate successful short sales as a Certified Distressed Property Expert. Mike specializes in gulf-front pre-construction projects and the listing and selling of existing homes and condos, making him a go-to expert in the Resort Property Market.
Mike doesn’t just sell properties—he owns and manages several beachfront condos himself. This hands-on experience in rentals, management, and property maintenance allows him to offer clients a unique perspective on real estate investment. Mike is consistently ranked among the top-performing agents, earning multiple awards as the leading RE/MAX sales agent in Alabama for over a decade.
