In a significant move for the local luxury real estate market, Orchid Island Realty has announced the expansion of its on-site team with the appointment of Mike Hickey as its new Managing Broker. A well-known figure in the Vero Beach and Indian River County real estate landscape, Hickey brings a wealth of local expertise and brokerage leadership to this exclusive community.
Hickey will work closely alongside Broker Associate Amanda Hope and Sales Associate Marci Arnold. This strategic addition aims to strengthen an already established team by providing enhanced resources, deep local market insights, and top-tier service for Orchid Island members, as well as prospective buyers and sellers.
Prior to joining Orchid Island Realty, Hickey spent the past six years successfully operating as the Broker and Owner of M&M Realty right here in Vero Beach. His professional background spans a comprehensive array of industry skills, including residential real estate, business development, marketing, technology, and data analytics.
“The addition of Mike marks an exciting next step for Orchid Island Realty. Amanda and Marci have built tremendous knowledge and trusted relationships within the Orchid Island community, and Mike brings another dimension of local market experience and brokerage leadership. Together, this expanded team gives our members, buyers and sellers an even greater depth of experience and service.”
– Robert Tench, General Manager and COO of The Orchid Island Club
The newly expanded team perfectly balances complementary strengths. While Hope and Arnold contribute their longstanding relationships and intimate familiarity with the Orchid Island community, Hickey adds a broader perspective of the entire Vero Beach and Indian River County real estate markets.
Demonstrating a strong commitment to professional excellence, Hickey holds several prestigious industry designations, which include:
- Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS) with Million Dollar GUILD recognition
- Graduate, REALTOR Institute (GRI)
- Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR)
With Hickey at the helm as Managing Broker, Orchid Island Realty continues its dedication to delivering highly personalized, relationship-driven service that truly understands both the unique character of the Orchid Island community and the evolving dynamics of the broader luxury real estate market.
