Mike
Shapiro, originally from Buffalo New York, moved to Anderson
Valley in 1972 after living in Kentucky and serving in the
Peace Corps in Turkey. At the time Mike moved to Anderson
Valley he worked for the Children's Television Workshop,
producers of "Sesame Street' and "The Electric Company".
After moving to Boonville Mike ran the restaurant in the
Boonville Hotel and in 1976 tried his hand at real estate. In
1979 he founded North Country Realty (NCR).
There had been a lot of problems when Mike purchased
their Boonville property, in 1969, no legal access to the
parcel and the parcel turned out to be a portion of an illegal
subdivision. Mike said when he started NCR that 'there had to
be away to do this business right so the customer receives
good reliable service'
.and that has been the goal ever
since. Mike has brought together a group of like minded people
to North Country. All the Sales and Broker Associates at NCR are
committed to providing reliable, trust worthy services to our
clients while enjoying the process. After all, our
clients are our friends and neighbors. We are here to stay and
want our clients to be as satisfied and enjoy our Valley as
much as we do. |

Mike
& Sharon have lived in Boonville on the same parcel from 1972
to 2004. In January of 2004 they moved to a new home off of
Hwy 253 between Ukiah and Boonville. It is curious as the
parcel they purchased in 2004 is the same parcel they rejected
in 1969 as being In the middle of nowhere. They choose their
Boonville site as one close to town for raising their family. Now they consider the Hwy
253 parcel as In the middle of everything. Nothing like
thirty years to change your perspective.
Mike
& Sharon have three boys who went through the Anderson Valley
School System. Ben their oldest son works selling tickets and
luxury suites for the Golden State
Warriors in Oakland California, Dave their middle son works
for Positive Coaching Alliance working with youth sport
coaches,
and Gabe the youngest of the three is a student at Chico State
University studying Radio and TV. |

I moved to Anderson Valley in 1971 to teach pottery at
Clear Water Ranch in Philo, a ranch for emotionally disturbed
children. In 1974 I opened Pepperwood Potters of Navarro, a pottery
that I still run today. This
is my 13th year selling real estate at North Country Real Estate
and feel very fortunate to have found a job that lets me earn a
living without swinging a hammer or using a shovel, and leaves me
enough time to play with clay.
I also do some sort of fishing year round.
