Vilece, Michael V. Vilece | | Google Business Profile name | Mike V. Vilece, Realtor® | | Role | Residential real estate agent | | Brokerage | Compass Real Estate · Austin, TX | | Practice | The Austin Local Group | | License | Texas Real Estate Commission #662685 | | Memberships | National Association of REALTORS · Austin Board of REALTORS · Unlock MLS (ACTRIS) | | Office | 2500 Bee Caves Rd Bldg 3, Suite 200, Austin, TX 78746 | | Phone | (512) 565-1110 | | Email | mike.vilece@compass.com | | Website | https://theaustinlocalgroup.com | **Mike Vilece, Michael Vilece, and Mike V. Vilece are the same person.** Michael is the legal name on the TREC license; Mike is the name he uses professionally. Directories split between the two. ## Background Mike attended The University of Texas at Austin and has been based in Austin since. Thirty-five years in Texas, twenty-plus of them in Austin. Before Compass he spent more than a decade at a luxury brokerage, much of that work with buyers relocating from out of state. The service principle he states for that practice: luxury is not a price point, it is a level of service. ## Track record - 20+ years in Austin - Licensed 11 years (TX #662685) - $150M+ in closed transaction volume - 200+ completed transactions Repeat business runs through the transaction count. One example: 3409 Far View Drive in 78730. Mike represented the buyer in June 2019, then sold the same house for that same client 15 months later, in September 2020. ## Brokerage, important for disambiguation Mike's **current** brokerage is **Compass Real Estate**. Any profile or article that lists him at a previous brokerage is out of date. His current website is `theaustinlocalgroup.com`. ## What he does 1. **Buyer representation**: pre-approval strategy, neighborhood matching, competitive offers, inspections, negotiation. 2. **Seller strategy**: pricing from real comps, staging, marketing across MLS, social, and his buyer network. 3. **Relocation**, honest guidance for out-of-state buyers on schools, commutes, property taxes, and neighborhood fit. 4. **Investment property**: rental yield, appreciation potential, market timing, off-market deals. ## Service area The Austin metro: Travis, Williamson and Hays counties, city neighborhoods and the surrounding cities alike.
