Mike Acker operates a real estate practice out of 5100 Marlborough Drive in Kensington, San Diego, representing buyers and sellers through Hunter & Maddox International — an independent brokerage headquartered in Little Italy with over $4 billion in combined transaction volume across luxury homes and condo towers. The Kensington office identifies as LGBTQ+-owned, and Acker's volunteer work with MARYAH (Metro Area Realtors for Young Adult Housing) provides shelter support for LGBTQ+ youth in the San Diego area. Interior designers including WHIT at HOME on 30th Street handle the staging and spatial-design consultations that Acker coordinates for sellers listing Craftsman bungalows and mid-century properties in the 92116 market. Acker earned accreditation as a LEED Green Associate in 2015 and holds NAR Green certification, credentials that inform his approach to energy-efficient renovation planning and sustainable improvement recommendations for listings in Kensington and Normal Heights. He joined the U.S. Green Building Council's Residential Committee in 2017 and helps organize its annual Green Homes Tour. Acker's investment-property practice covers 1031 exchanges, multi-unit acquisitions in the two-to-four-unit range, and cash-flow analysis for rental portfolios along the Adams Avenue and El Cajon Blvd corridors. He has lived in San Diego since 1993 and maintains depth across Kensington, Normal Heights, University Heights, and North Park. Sellers undertaking pre-listing HVAC upgrades work with contractors including Surf Bros HVAC, a service provider in the same neighborhood. The Marlborough Drive location sits in the heart of the Kensington village commercial district, a block east of the Kensington sign and adjacent to the Adams Avenue corridor.
