Michael Hamby Voted Best Realtor in Capital-Gazette Readers Choice Awards Four Years in a Row

Annapolis, MD: Mike Hamby, a top-producing agent for Champion Realty, was selected “Best Realtor” in the Capital-Gazette Newspapers’ 2014 Readers Choice Awards—the fourth year in a row he has won this honor. Thousands of readers cast votes by mail and online to pick their local favorites in 100 categories of service.

Hamby, who joined the real estate profession after a career as a chef, attributes his success to being knowledgeable about the local market and providing an intuitive, information-packed website that helps clients find properties by location and category, such as town homes, waterfront, or new construction. “I’m easy to find, my website is easy to use and I’m a good communicator,” he said. “I provide clients with all the information they need to define what they’re looking for. I tell them, ‘my job isn’t to sell you a house—it’s to help you buy one.’”

Hamby specializes in residential properties and is located in the Champion Realty Annapolis Office at 711 Bestgate Road. “Michael achieved the one-hundred million mark in sales and received the Champion Legend award for this accomplishment,” said Pat Savani, manager of the Champion Realty Annapolis office. “He has an innovative approach to real estate and is always searching for the newest and best ways to provide outstanding service to his customers.”

"Mike's background as an executive chef was great preparation for real estate, because he’s skilled at orchestrating the efforts of different specialists and bringing everything together simultaneously,” said Jon Coile, president and CEO of Champion Realty. “He’s personable, highly creative and he knows how to get things done. He also knows how to use technology for the best results possible. I’m very proud that Capital-Gazette readers have selected him as Best Realtor four years in a row. “
