(315) 414-6594
Born in Syracuse, NY, Luke grew up playing hockey. At the age of 14, he moved away from home to hone his skills in hockey, which enabled him to become a member of the U17 (under-17) US National Team Development Program (NTDP). USA Hockey formed the NTDP in 1996 in order to develop elite hockey players under the age of 18. Because of hockey, Luke lived all over North America and traveled around the world. He was a U17 World Champion with Team USA. He subsequently attended training camps for the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets, but he also attended University of Prince Edward Island and University of Tampa (UT), with the aim of transitioning into a successful businessman here. His zeal for a career in real estate led him to become a licensed realtor while still a student at UT. It is clear that once Luke sets his sight on achieving a goal, nothing will stop him, since from an early age, Luke has developed the skills to set and achieve challenging goals.

Testimonials
We used Mihara and Associates for both buying and selling a house. They are highly professional and very knowledgeable of the Tampa Bay real estate market. They are great to work with. They answered all of our questions. They helped us price our home right so that it sold quickly and helped us find the home we wanted in a sellers market. We would go back to them again the next time we need to sell or buy a house and would highly recommend them to anyone else who needs to sell or buy a house.
