The person behind the project
Meet Mike.
I’m Mike Ayers—a Placer County REALTOR®, longtime business owner, husband, father, and grandfather.
Summit 65 is where I document the real work of building a stronger future: creating dependable income, preparing to become a homeowner, and helping other people make clearer housing decisions. I’m not writing from the finish line. I’m sharing what I’m learning while I make the climb myself.
My approach is simple: clear steps, honest guidance, and real results. That applies to real estate, money, and the larger project of changing your life one decision at a time.
