About Mike

Mike Burns has called the DMV home since his family relocated from Upstate New York when he was 12 years old. Growing up in Ocean City, Mike worked various jobs during his middle and high school years — from caddying at Ocean Pines Golf Course and delivering fudge to the Candy Kitchens, to serving breakfast at The General's Kitchen and cleaning glasses behind the bar at The Bonfire. One summer, he even delivered furniture at Resort Furnishings, where his mother was the manager — though three months of moving furniture was enough to convince him to pursue other career paths.

After graduating from the University of Maryland, Mike knew he wanted a career focused on helping people plan for their future. He began his professional journey at Transamerica Financial, providing financial services, then transitioned to First Atlantic Mortgage, where he gained valuable insight into the mortgage process. That experience became an essential foundation for his work with real estate clients, starting at Long & Foster and now with RE/MAX Allegiance.

Mike has lived in various parts of the DMV, including Rockville, Bethesda, Falls Church, Arlington, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Reston, and Herndon — giving him a deep understanding of the region and the unique qualities of each area's real estate market.

Mike comes from a large family with five siblings. He is married to his wife, Alicia, a Certified Residential Appraiser with over 35 years of DC-metro experience, and together they have a son named Mack.
