Born and raised an Oregonian, Mike graduated from Oregon State University and immediately began his real estate career working at a title company. Shortly thereafter he became a licensed Realtor and realized the need for creative financing. In 1980 Mike branched out and began originating private-money loans. The creativity and common-sense aspect of the business piqued his interest. Mike and his friend, Marty Hall, moved to Eugene in 1984 and founded AIC. Over the years AIC has evolved, but the values of the company and common-sense-based approach have not changed. In his free time you can often find Mike enjoying the sunshine playing golf.

Austin grew up in the Portland suburb of West Linn and remembers always being fascinated with real estate and architecture. He graduated cum laude from Portland State University with a degree in Real Estate Finance. Austin and two other partners formed a private-money brokerage in 2004 specializing in multifamily, commercial properties and small residential subdivisions. In 2010 Austin joined the partnership with Mike and Marty at AIC. When out of the office, he loves weekend trips exploring Oregon with his wife and friends. He enjoys virtually all outdoor activities. You will likely find him skiing or snowshoeing in the winter or enjoying the Willamette River surfing and wakeboarding during the summer.  Go easy, as Marty would say.

Honorary AIC member – Marty Hall

Marty and Mike started AIC in 1984. Although you will not find Marty in the office much these days, his impact on AIC remains strong. As a systems-oriented guy, Marty knew that to provide consistent and excellent results, AIC needed a system in place. Marty hand-crafted AIC’s original Microsoft Access database in the early 1990s and subsequently worked with Austin to merge the database into an SQL platform that AIC utilizes presently. Marty is enjoys songwriting, long walks, working to help foster children and a good book.
