Michael Durden

Mike has proudly served clients in the financial services industry for more than 14 years. A lifelong Pensacola resident, he has deep roots in the community and a genuine passion for helping individuals and families find solutions that fit their unique needs and goals.
Throughout his career, Mike has seen firsthand that financial planning is not a one-size-fits-all process. He believes every person’s situation is different and deserves a personalized approach. That philosophy ultimately led him to open Real Solutions alongside his business partner, Stacy, with the goal of providing clients with thoughtful guidance, personalized strategies, and access to solutions designed around what matters most to them.
Family is an important part of Mike’s life. He comes from a large family with six brothers and sisters and has been with his wife for 12 years. Together, they have three children—a son and two daughters. When he isn’t working with clients, Mike enjoys fishing, spending time outdoors, playing games in the pool with his kids, and simply enjoying time outside with his family.
For Mike, building Real Solutions is about more than business. It is about developing lasting relationships, understanding each client’s individual circumstances, and helping people feel confident that they have a plan tailored specifically to them.
