Michael E. Deweese

Michael (Mickey) Deweese brings a wealth of real-world experience to the classroom with his 20+ years of appraising and real estate work.  Mickey has been a real estate broker since 1990 and has held his Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser license since 1998.  He has also been a member of the Realtor Association of Southern Kentucky since 2005.  Mickey was President of the Franklin-Simpson Board of Realtors for a number of years, during which he also obtained the distinction of Realtor of the Year.  He also was appointed as commissioner of the Franklin-Simpson Planning & Zoning Commission and during his tenure the board adopted the first comprehensive plan for the Franklin-Simpson area.

During his career in real estate, Mickey has also been directly involved in residential, commercial and industrial construction - including the development of commercial properties for shopping centers.

Another accomplishment that Mickey takes pride in is his online subscription-driven database that he created when, freshly into his real estate career, he saw the need to have information about land transactions available at his fingertips.  This online information publication was started in 1990 and still carries some of its original subscribers.

Mickey has thoroughly enjoyed each phase of his real estate career and this comes through in the classroom as he shares his experience with his students.

Mickey holds a B.S. in Business from Western Kentucky University and has completed post-graduate work in the field of Exercise Science.
