Mike Goar - Sales Associate
Hi. I’m Mike Goar and would like to tell you a little about my background. Originally from Duluth, MN, I slowly moved south until deciding in 2000 to move to Fairview, AR from Altoona, IA, where I had worked for 15 years with Telecommunications, Inc., a large cable and Communications Company.
I was looking for an area with many outdoor activities. The lakes, rivers, hills, trees, and weather here offer the outdoor enthusiast so many things to enjoy. After looking at property for just two days, I purchased a home on the White River and moved here with my two Labradors, Bailey and Ella.
Back in 1950 when Bull Shoals Dam was completed, the Corps of Engineers flooded farms, roads,homes and many trees to create the lake. Scuba diving offers the under-water enthusiast many opportunities. 
Dive on your own, or schedule a trip with one of the marinas for a dive trip for cave dives, looking at buildings and under-water farms, or you can have bluegill and bass follow you as you dive the many rock ledges on the Lake. For the hunter, diving with a spear gun is very enjoyable, and you may just come home with a catfish or nice walleye for dinner.
The area also has plenty of wildlife for the hunter: deer, wild turkey, squirrel and rabbits to name a few. Arkansas has huge public hunting areas close by for the enthusiast to enjoy. Duck and goose hunting is available, but most bird hunting occurs in other areas of Arkansas.
I have been in sales and sales management since 1979 and understand how important it is to work hard and serve the customer with hard work, enthusiasm, honesty, knowledge of the area and good customer service. I received the Million Dollar Club award my first year in real-estate and received the Platinum award in 2004 and Gold awards in 2003 and 2005.
