Review for Member: Michael Canter
ZillowVERIFIEDOur first attempt at selling our home didn't go well. The potential buyer was unable to obtain a mortgage, wven though he was supposedly vetted properly. Due to this fact, our probate attorney strongly encouraged me to find another broker. Although I don't place any blame on the realtor, who handled the first contract, I thought it easier to find another realtor than probate/estate attorney! The realtor referred me to Michael and his team. I had done some research as well, and Michael was one of three realtors I was considering. After speaking with all three, I chose Michael Canter. He was very professional from that first conversation to our post-closing "victory" talk. He was always very prompt in answering a phone call or replying to me via text. He always did what he said he was going to do without fail. Along the way, we had challenges come along and Michael was always able to navigate me through the issues and give best and worse case scenarios. Never did I feel any pressure from him to lower the asking price or do anything that could negatively affect the bottom line at the end of the closing. A brief example is one of the three realtors I was considering, wanted me to put in new carpet, paint all the walls and a few other small investments into the house. I tried to explain to her that this is an "as is" sale and that no additional funds would be sunk into the home. It turns out she wanted me to lower the price WELL below the market average, so when a possible bidding war occured and the house sold closer to the market average or above it, she would look great in future potential client's eyes - "just look at how much more I got for their house", type of sales tactic. Which turned me off immediately. Michael doesn't play games. He gives a realistic selling price with an explanation as to why he has arrived at it. There is flexibility, of course, for the seller to put it on for any price, but Michael knows Rockland real estate and certainly was dead-on with his prediction and proper initial selling price point. If you want a realtor to sell your home in a rapid manner, want an efficient and professional broker on your side that's not looking to use your home's marketing to further their career with little regard for us- the seller, and finally, is VERY prompt with his returning or answering of your phone calls/texts, then look no further - call Michael Canter to represent you and your home in this ever-changing real estate landscape. You won't be disappointed. You will be thrilled you did! Take it from a person that lives in Raleigh, NC and knew no realtor personally in New City. He handled everything and even cut the grass (yes - by himself, not some crew) prior to the listing going live. That's going above and beyond the normal call of duty and exemplifies the type of realtor you will get when you hire Michael.

ZillowVERIFIED We were originally attempting to sell our property ourselves. After several weeks, we realized it was not going to work well for a number of reasons. When we talked with Michael Canter, he was very "real" and no pressure and understood our needs. My wife and I were very pleased with Michael's friendly and cordial personality and honest approach with us that put us at ease from the start. He took charge but with a humble attitude. As time progressed, it was his professionalism, knowledge and level of communication with us, that made us sure it was a good decision to have him take care of listing and marketing our property. He kept us fully informed about all interest in the property and was willing to advise us but left decisions to us as well. His advise proved good each time. As we live about 200 miles from the property we were selling, when I received a phone call on the weekend by maintenance at the condo complex, that there was water dripping down into the basement below the condo we were selling, it was a bit of a panic as we had done considerable renovation in the condo. However I called Michael on Sunday and he simply said, "I'll go right over and check things out and call you back once I'm there". He did, all was well and we were relieved that the water in the basement was coming from somewhere else. Our property sold quickly, easily and at a price higher than our listing thanks to Michael and we would highly recommend him and his services to anyone in need of a realtor. This honestly turned into a wonderful experience for us.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael has been a tremendous guide for my wife and I who sought to purchase our first home. He was also our Landlord for two years and very responsive. Michael found us a tremendous home in the Village where we dreamed of raising our family. Now, thanks to Michael, it can be a reality. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and very humble. Thanks, Michael!

ZillowVERIFIED I knew at 1st meeting I was in good hands with the Michael Canter Team. He knew how to price our home to generate the most interest & advised us on how to improve "curb appeal". Michael was very involved with the process from the moment we listed & right through to closing the sale. His relationship with other agents was crucial to our receiving feedback on all of the showings. We had many offers on our property & Michael educated us in choosing the most viable offer not just the highest offer. I received regular updates from Michael throughout this process. I would unconditionally recommend the MichaelCanter Team to anyone buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael worked with me to help me sell my home. Before I met Michael, a different agent had pressured me to take renovation loans prior to listing, telling me it was the only way to get a better offer. After I met Michael, he assessed my property and said I had a great home that would sell. Michael listened to me and took a practical approach with staging and preparing the house for listing. His communication was superb and always returned my calls promptly. From our first open house, we got a few high offers that blew my socks off. We completed the closing and the house was sold just a few weeks later. I highly recommend the Michael Canter team!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Canter is a dream to work with. This was our first time buying a house, and he made the process enjoyable and easy to navigate. Additionally, Michael exudes calm, so the times when my husband and I were feeling a bit overwhelmed or stressed out about something, Michael was able to put us at ease. He is very knowledgeable, made himself available, and kept his cool, which helped us keep ours! He has a great network of resources, as well. I highly recommend working with him.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Canter was the exemplar of what a dedicated real estate should be. He was always available, day or night, by phone, text, email, etc, addressing any and all of our concerns. We were moving to the area from a considerable distance and he consistently adjusted to our difficult work and travel schedules. He stood by our side every step of the way - he was active and maintained open communication throughout the entire buying process from finding the right home even up until closing day. He truly cares about his clients and has their best interests in mind. He has a tremendous reputation in the business and his contacts allow his clients to get the best service and opportunities in Rockland County!

ZillowVERIFIED It was a pleasure doing business with Michael Canter. As a person he is very caring and honest with his suggestions regarding the selling of our home. He helped me in securing a place to live and went the extra mile on it. As an agent his mercurial nature allows him to be available for any questions that may pop up regarding all assets of selling and closing a home. We found him to be intelligent and knowledgeable about other sales in the area and what people are looking for. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for or selling a home. Thank you Michael for all of your help and assistance!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I first met Michael a year ago when I listed our house buy owner. When it didnt sell, he reached out and offered helpful tips to increase the likelihood of a sale. We later decided to list it with an agent and it was an easy choice to go with him. Within a few short months it sold and we were in our new place that he help us find! I couldnt have been happier.

ZillowVERIFIED First let me start by saying this was a new experience for us buying a new home but Michael and his team did a fantastic job. Not only was he patient with us.. he answered every question we had. Michael is very knowledgeable about the real estate game and made this whole process a breeze. One of the things that surprised us the most was the access we had to speak with Michael anytime of the day or night not to mention weekends. Him and his team advised us every step of the way and helped us find our dream house in a incredible neighborhood and at a great price. if we are ever in the market to buy or sell a home Michael is the man you want on your side ?????

ZillowVERIFIED Not only was Michael extremely easy and pleasant to work with, but I used everyone he recommended for every step of the process and everyone was just as welcoming. Michael was very responsive at all hours and days and had a great grasp on what was necessary from a negotiation standpoint for me to secure my property. He was also committed to making sure that I didn't make any rash decisions along the way and I would absolutely refer him to everyone and anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael was the best real estate agent I could have asked for. He was the most responsive person throughout the entire transaction. He was there for questions and guidance and has the knowledge and experience I would hope for in an agent. I will be highly recommending Michael to anyone and everyone in the future that needs an agent. He was never pushy and always had my best interests in mind at all times. We saw many houses with him and he was always there to make sure we were getting as much as we wanted by making sure we were considering all of the positives as well as the negatives which was greatly appreciated.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael was a pleasure to work with. When my parents were ready to sell their home, Michael guided us throughout the whole process, advising us on presentation, timing, price, etc. Within a week of listing, we received multiple offers and ended up selling for $27K above asking! I highly recommend working with this amazing agent!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is the best in the business, Period!!! Buying a home is one of the most stressful experiences in your life and our situation was the extreme! Michael has an incredibly calming personality that lets you know everything is going to be okay. More importantly he never pushed my wife or myself into a something we didn't like as some realtors would do. It felt like we were working with a good friend throughout and by the end of the process we were. He also put together a fantastic team of professionals to help walk us through the mine fields, and believe me, there were plenty! If it wasn't for all of their combined efforts I don't know what would have happened. Without a doubt Michael is the best in the business! He puts his heart and soul into achieving his clients goals and he gets the job done! I recommend him highly, without question! Thanks so much again Michael, for everything!!!

Review for Member: Michael Canter
ZillowVERIFIED So we had not one but two deals with Michael and we are more than happy with what he has done for us. Michael wastes no time and is always on your side. He's realistic with the asking price vs. market value and is ready to go to bat for you at a moments notice. The first deal was a for sale by owner. Thank god we went with Michael on it because it was a nightmare couple to deal with. In the end the sellers decided their house was worth more than selling and after the inspections walked away. For both homes we were interested in Michael came with to all of the inspections! He provided knowledge and valuable input on questions to ask and always had a phenomenal recommendation on people who could help. I was never disappointed with Michael not once. He would go with me during the week and look at houses and than revisit whatever we needed on the weekend when my husband was around. He is an exemplary real estate agent and now we are lucky enough to call him a friend because he is truly right there with you every step of the way when it comes to finding and buying your home!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael stuck with us through a long arduous search and sale. We searched for 7 months and he helped us through a difficult closing that took 5 months. Mike kept us rassured and informed the entire time. He showed us countless homes in nj and ny. We had unique needs (lots of cars and active dog to name a few) that we needed to fill within a budget.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael helped my husand and I relocate from CT to NJ. We weren't famialir with the area so having Michael provide local knowledge and guidance was extremely helpful. He listened to what we were looking for in a home, was mindful of our budget, and extremely patience throughout the process. Michael was the most responsive realtor I have had the pleasure of working with. He is easy to talk to, courteous, professional, provided expertise and insight from start to finish. I would definitely work with Michael again, and highly recommend him if you are buying or selling a house. He really made the stress of buying a home enjoyable and seamless... thank you Michael!

ZillowVERIFIED To best describe Michael the phrase "CLASS ACT" would be used. His professionalism from start to finish with buying as well as selling our home was unbelievable. He always had my families thoughts and best intentions in mind. The entire process flowed smoothly with his attention to detail and communication skills. They say moving/buying/selling is suppose to be a stressful process... but that's okay because with Michael all of that stress was alleviated from us and absorbed by him. A true professional and now someone I can also say is a true friend. So Thank You! If you have a property to buy or sell Michael is the agent for you. I'd recommend him over and over again.

If only there were more than 5 stars available..
