We had the good fortune of connecting with Michael Miller and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michael, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Failure. As I look back at my very short career in the real estate world, it’s littered with failures. One to note: I failed my real estate exam six times before passing it on the seventh. Some people call it stupidity, I call it perseverence. From that experience, grit wasn’t born, but it was found. Failed exams, lost deals, & career paths changed have all led to where I’m at today. I started out in the commercial real estate world and now I’m in the apartment locating world. I never imaged being here but here I am. It’s been a little over a year since Flat and Loft was started and we’ve gotten to serve over 100 people by finding their apartment in Dallas. What a blessing it’s been and we’re just getting started.

What should our readers know about your business?
Flat and Loft is a completely free apartment locating service based in the Dallas – Fort Worth area. We strive to find apartments people love and to provide a memorable customer experience while doing it. We do the research, pull reports, book tours, and lock down the perfect apartment. We want to be with people from the beginning to the end of their apartment search process.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would start with a round of golf wherever we can get a tee time in Dallas. There are so many great golf courses in Dallas, it’s hard to go wrong with any of them. Then hit up Scalini’s in Lakewood for dinner. They have amazing pizza. Afterward, we would get a crew and go country dancing at Cowboys Red River.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, I want to thank God. He is the rock that my house is built upon. I’m also incredibly grateful for my broker, Randy Garrett. Without him, me doing what I’m doing wouldn’t be possible. He’s been a mentor and a friend for a long time. Another person to highlight is Cole Cammack. He’s one of my best friends, who has been with me and guided me every step of starting my own business. Without him, I truly would be lost. My family and friends have been very big supporters as well. They are the ones that are getting the word out. Without their support, I don’t know where I would be.
