Mike Swift's Profile

💼 About Mike Swift

Co-Founder | Swift & Co. Realty, Powered by eXp Realty
Real Estate Innovator | Award-Winning Marketer | Lake Lifestyle Expert

My wife, Clara Swift, and I founded Swift & Co. Realty in 2019 with one goal — to redefine how real estate is experienced at the Lake of the Ozarks. Since then, our team has sold over $350 million in real estate, become one of the most recognizable brands at the Lake, and earned multiple Best of the Lake Awards (2021–2025), along with Best Content Creator honors for 2024 & 2025.

Our nine-person team has built its success through innovative marketing, authentic storytelling, and deep community involvement. From luxury homes to lakefront retreats, we don’t just sell properties — we sell the Lake lifestyle.

Our award-winning marketing strategies have generated millions of online views, setting new standards for how Lake of the Ozarks properties are showcased. We also host some of the lake’s most anticipated summer events, including The White Party, Make Party Cove Great Again, and the Shootout Belly Flop Contest, connecting with the community on every level.

Before real estate, I spent 13 years managing top lake bars and venues, including The Horny Toad, Shady Gators, and Frankie & Louie’s — after living and working in incredible places like Las Vegas, Key West, Breckenridge, and St. Croix. Those experiences helped shape my understanding of hospitality, lifestyle branding, and what makes a destination truly magnetic.

For the past 13 years, my wife and I have also produced The Get Down Guide, the lake’s premier entertainment magazine — featuring events, dining, nightlife, and the best of what the Lake of the Ozarks has to offer. Staying connected to the heartbeat of the lake keeps us ahead of the curve and deeply tuned into what our clients are looking for.
