Mike Derenthal

I’m either a 4th or 5th generation Floridian (depends on who you ask) and my folks still live in the house on the lake where I grew up in Odessa (suburb of Tampa). I’m proud to have lived my entire life in Florida with stops in Gainesville and Miami before settling in Orlando 20 plus years ago.

My educational background is in engineering and business (undergrad degree in Chemical Engineering and then an MBA in Finance / Entrepreneurship) and before real estate I worked in engineering and commercial construction. I am licensed as a Broker / Associate in the State of Florida.

My first house in College Park was arguably a tear down but no one could convince me, and after completing a total rehab I was hooked! I finally jumped into the business full time in 2004 and have been fortunate enough to have a career I have truly loved ever since (most days!).

My business partner Monica Cook and I teamed up several years ago, and we now run one of Central Florida’s top producing real estate practices that serves a predominately referral-based clientele throughout the greater Orlando metropolitan area.

That’s me and my life – I look forward to learning more about you and yours.
