Hiring Michael is a decision I will never regret and you won’t regret as well. He has made our process of putting our home on the market seamlessly easy from beginning to end. Just a little background. This was our 3rd home that we were selling in the last 7 years and my mom is a real estate broker as well. So I am fairly knowledgeable in the real estate process and the work and hustle that comes along with it. So we were quite choosy when deciding on a realtor. When we first considered hiring Mike as our listing agent, we knew right away that he was the one. Right from the start he had excellent communication, was very knowledgeable in the market both on the real estate side and on the housing appraisal end as well. He was very professional yet had the most down to earth personality and always had a smile on his face. I was very nervous with covid going on and having hundreds of people walk through my home during showings. He thoroughly explained the process and protocols and assured me that he will do everything he can to make sure everyone follows the guidelines. He made suggestions for us to limit our contact like going out of town for a couple of days while showings were taking place and we entrusted him to take care of everything from prepping our home daily to locking up at the end of the day. He was an excellent advocate for us and always had our best interest in mind. Before hiring Mike, we had heard nothing but amazing things about him and they were all true! Thank you Mike for literally being such an exceptional realtor. I would hire you all over again!
We were first time home sellers, getting ready to sell our condo in uncertain covid times. We received Micheal’s info from a dear friend. From the first introductory phone call, we knew we had found a special realtor. Micheal immediately made us feel at ease and well-taken care of. He took the time to explain every step of the process and had friendly, down-to-earth energy the whole time. He set all the gears in motion quickly and efficiently to get our house in shape and on the market in record time. If anything, we should have called him sooner because he has great vendor referrals! We were able to get fresh paint, carpet, and inspections done quickly and at a great price. He has an excellent staging and photography team. He was always available by text, email, and phone. He also took the time to call us with any and all developments. He has great instincts and his negotiation techniques were thoughtful and ethical. He made the selling process an enjoyable experience from start to finish. We found the perfect buyer and had a smooth closing. It was what I called “the unicorn deal” and Micheal made all the difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a skilled and engaged realtor for your home buying/selling needs! We can’t wait to switch into the buyer role and work with him again to find our dream home soon!
