We appreciated all the time and effort Michael put into helping us through buying our first home. Hes extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of buying a home. and always available when something came up. We definitely recommend them to others looking for a reliable realtor.
Absolutely seamless experience - Michael has been empathetic, patient, nurturing, thorough, and kind throughout our search process. And we found a house that we love, most importantly! I'll also add that he is oddly knowledgeable on 1) house 'status' (repairs you may need, historical insights from observations, etc.) and 2) the types of considerations to make when assembling the offer itself, negotiation, and closing terms. Overall just an absolutely wonderful experience from a wonderful person, and cannot more highly recommend!
My wife and I enjoyed working with Michael twice now! In 2011, Michael helped us purchase our first home, a condo in Brookline. He was so prepared and so diligent, and his expertise helped answer my millions of questions. Being a first-time homebuyer can be intimidating, but Michael held our hands and walked us through the process like a true professional. Fast forward to five years later, and it was time for us (now a family) to move to the suburbs. Our condo (and what turned out to be a great investment) in Brookline served us well, and Michael was the only choice for us when we decided it was time to sell. He came over, reviewed all the improvements we had made over time (renovated bathroom, all new appliances, etc), and showed me some comparable recent sales in the area. Michael had some suggestions as to how to rearrange some items, and he returned to take very professional photos that made our condo really stand out! Michael had a great pricing strategy and we were fortunate enough to sell the condo immediately after the open house, at a price above asking, after several offers and subsequent increases to those offers! Even the paperwork was simple, as Michael would send us links to pages we could sign online, without having to print, sign, scan, e-mail/fax/mail etc. Michael had answers for every part of the process, and if a stressful moment (for us) did arise, he was always cool, calm, and collected in his response and solution. I don't think this man gets stressed! Michael is a genuine, responsive, courteous, experienced professional, and I wish him much success.
My wife and I couldn't have been happier working with Michael on both the sale of our former house and the purchase of our future house. What an absolute pleasure. Beyond his impressive knowledge of the local market, his attention to detail, and his exceptional level of service, what stood out most was his calming demeanor and the personal commitment he made to ensuring both transactions went as smoothly as possible and that we never encountered any surprises during the process. Michael was extremely accessible and was courteous, prompt, direct, and respectful in his communications with us. He clearly had our best interests in mind at all times and removed all of the worry normally associated with such transactions. We are very thankful to have had Michael on our side.
Great experience, knowledgeable and patient. Could. Not ask for a better agent. Really happy and the process was very painless. Took us almost 18 months to find our perfect home and Mike was never pushy or trying to close a sale. Always looking for what was best for us.
Michael was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. His understanding and knowledge of the area were invaluable to us in our search for the right home. He is also very well-versed in what details to look for in a home, what to pay attention to and why. His advice to us was always well thought out and well-articulated. Michael is also incredibly responsive and made himself available to us whenever we needed him, no matter how small the question. He pointed us to many local resources to help us along the way, and he has quite a network in the Needham area. He led us to our dream home and we could not be more appreciative. We would recommend Michael to anyone searching for a home in the Needham area!
We loved working with Michael. His advice was right on point in every instance. For example, when the first sale of out home fell apart, Michael suggested we take it off the market through the holiday season. We did that, and when the home went back on the market in early Spring, it sold in less than two weeks, and at our asking price.His attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the inspections which went off flawlessly under his stewardship.He made the sale and move an easy transition for us and we are endlessly grateful.
Michael was hugely helpful in our search for a new home. We started out with a meeting over coffee talking about what we wanted, yes, but we also learned a ton from Michael about types of houses in the area as well as features to keep in mind for resale value. He knows a ton about houses and saved us from getting attached to homes in poor condition. Michael was always incredibly prompt in his communication, thorough in his explanations, and respectful of our time, preferences, and privacy. We quickly developed a very friendly but professional rapport which made looking for a home when there wasn't a lot of inventory fun. Michael was appropriately encouraging when we were discouraged. When we found the perfect house, he advised us well and we got it. We would recommend Michael highly!
Michael is a top notch realtor and I give him my highest recommendation. We hired Michael in March to help sell our house and assist us in buying a new house. He was hands on throughout the entire process and always had productive advice to offer without being pushy or overbearing. When it was time to sell our house, Michael came over and offered strategies to us on how best to "stage" our house to best present it to prospective buyers. He was understanding about how difficult this process is with two young children and was realistic about what items needed to go without being judgmental or preachy. Michael took awesome pictures of our house and wrote a wonderful description of it on MLS. He also offered valuable advice about the price point at which we should offer the house for sale. We received multiple offers after the first open house and accepted one of them within a few days. The transaction closed smoothly and Michael remained involved throughout the entire process. When it came time to buy a house, Michael was helpful and patient as we were looking at many houses in several towns. He was always willing to set up a showing for us to look at a house and attended many open houses on our behalf. Michael is able to evaluate a house fairly and accurately - he understands the house systems and "bones" but also can provide advice on the interior decor, neighborhood and other intangible aspects of a house When it came time to make an offer, Michael told us what price he thought we needed to offer in order to get the house, and used strong negotiating tactics with seller's agent during the entire process with good results for us in the end. Moving is a very stressful process and it is a very competitive and fast moving market. Michael's experience and guidance was crucial for us. I don't expect to move again any time soon but I would engage Michael again if we do.
We had the privilege of working with Michael during the purchase of our first home in October of 2011. We were recently married and it was time to transition from the bustling excitement of Kenmore Square to the quieter, tree-lined neighborhoods of Brookline. Michael was extremely knowledgable (and if he was unsure about something, he did immediate research), easy to work with, and in constant communication. Throughout the entire process, we felt that we were his priority. Michael was diligent in educating us about the condo that we bought...he showed us the pros that would protect our investment and the cons that we could easily improve or renovate. Michael is a true professional: interested in his clients' well-being, willing to do the hard work behind the scenes, and warm and friendly in demeanor. We have recommended him to all of our house-hunting friends!
Knowledgeable of the South End, quick to return phone calls, and did a great job making sure the whole process ran smoothly and on schedule. Well done! Highly recommended.
Michael was terrific to work with. He not only helped me find and buy a home but within the same year he helped me sell it. During the that period of time, the housing market started a downturn and I did not take a loss on the propery. Not only was I impressed with Michael's support and prfessionalism during the buy and sell processes, I was delighted to see that he understands the buying value and selling value of a home. I have since recommended Michael to others. Thanks Michael !
Michael not only helped us find our new home very quickly, he also closely guided us through the whole buying process in order to make sure our transaction was successful, going the extra mile in every single aspect. Michael is a highly skilled Real Estate Professional and a very warm person, dont hesitate on contacting him about your Real Estate needs
I loved working with this guy. He was very patient with me and my hesitations about buying my first home. But all of the ground work that he did at the beginning to figure out exactly what my needs were and what areas and towns etc, would meet my needs most paid off. This saved a lot of time and frustration and made the whole process far more enjoyable and fun. His market knowledge and experience helped me make better decisions when it came to the final offer and all the formal paperwork, which took a lot of the anxiety out of the process. I believe he is a very genuine person, a hard worker and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Michael was a pleasure to work with. Michael did a great job showing us a wide variety of properties that fit our specific criteria. He was extremely knowledgable about the various neighborhoods we looked into and about many different features that each property had to offer. Michael is a very friendly agent and did a great job helping my wife and me purchase our dream home!
