An open letter to all past and present Uptown Customers from owners, Russell and Mickie Holmes:
It doesn't quite seem possible, but UpTown Detailing would be coming up on it's 12th year in business this June. We've met countless wonderful people all across Central Florida, working in their driveways and office parking lots and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The life experience gained from running and growing a service business for so long will stick with us forever. However, it is time to move on from this career. We were not able to find anyone interested in buying out our business, but we do know that there are countless mobile detailers in the area working hard to grow their businesses. If you use one of these detailers and they do a great job, please continue to use them! We feel you will always get better service from a detailer you use regularly than you will a car wash with employee turnover.
I've had my Real Estate license since February 2018 and began my efforts in that career part time. As 2018 progressed and I had built more and more momentum in Real Estate, we began to scale back our detailing efforts. As of this writing in spring, I've sold three properties, I have three actively listed, one under contract for buyers, and helping clients coordinate work on two separate flips that I'll sell afterwards. My wife has a recently acquired Graphic Design degree and is working on her own Real Estate license as well. An opportunity also was just presented to me where I will begin a partnership with one of my flip clients to flip more houses moving forward and hold some as rentals, his capital with my efforts and project management. The time has come to to jump into Real Estate with both feet. UpTown has been a good run, but it's time for bigger and better things in our next chapter. Thank you to all of our great customers for such an enjoyable decade plus of business!
If you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell property in Central Florida, I do hope you'll keep me in mind as the Realtor to refer!
