02 / MILE ONE’S APPROACH

Established resources.
Individual attention.

Mike Gobran founded Mile One Real Estate to combine Modern's rental inventory, landlord connections, and market knowledge with a client-focused process.

Our agents work directly with renters to understand their budgets, preferred neighborhoods, move-in dates, and apartment requirements. The objective is an organized, responsive, and efficient search supported by established rental resources.

03 / ZENTRO TECHNOLOGY

Tools that support
the rental process.

Mike also developed Zentro to improve how students and young professionals search for apartments. The platform brings apartment listings, saved favorites, tour requests, and agent communication into one place.

Zentro helps organize the search alongside Mile One’s brokerage services and access to Modern’s rental network.
