ZillowVERIFIED If you are looking for a realtor, absolutely consider Michael Harbord. My family recently used him for the sale of a beloved family home. Michael is transparent, ethical, a great communicator, strategic in his decision making, knowledgeable about theA area, very quick to respond, and fun to work with.A Michael helped us even before we signed up for him to represent us. He did a courtesy walk through to discuss the condition of the property and gave us tips for cosmetic fixes that would enhance the sales value of the property. His pragmatic approach to this ensured we worked on the most helpful items needed, and resulted in our home selling in under two weeks. During the initial engagement, when we officially signed with Michael, he was patient, and readily explained his strategy, ways of working and answered questions fired off by four demanding siblings. Michael handled this with ease and stuck with us for hours as the siblings debated decisions. The actual listing looked amazing, super professional photos, drone shots, clear description, and a great representation of the house. Michael hooked us up with an app so we could see realtor activity, which was helpful to determine how things were going. He also asked how often and how we would like to communicate, taking into account our preference, availability, and prefered method consistently throughout the experience. An early offer came in that would have resulted in Michael benefiting by taking the entire brokerage fee. He transparently and ethically shared these details with us, and told us it was not in our best interests. Stronger offers came in and Michael was diligent about pursuing proof of funds. We spent countless time weighing the pros and cons of offers, with Michael offering strategy, but never overstepping into pressure or decision making for us. I also like how Michael treated other agents with respect and transparency. He does business the way I would, there were no tricks, nothing I'd feel bad about, he was just there to ensure we got the best offer. In the end we got an offer over asking in under two weeks, and I think Michael was a big part of our success. If you have a chance to work with Michael and his team, run, don't walk, and sign him up! Highly recommend.

Review for Member: Michael Harbord
ZillowVERIFIED Michael was a tremendous help with advice as to what to "spruce up" that was very inexpensive and added to the sale price as well as making my property more attractive to potential buyers . . . He was also invaluable with his knowledge of what the listing price should be within the current market conditions . . . He communicated often and was very responsive to my call/texts. This, coupled with the fact that he is a really nice person with 30 years in the business, makes him an ideal choice when deciding who to help you sell/buy real estate. He also works well with a laundry list of real estate agents that have clients looking to buy or sell. . I can't stress enough about using Michael to help you sell or buy real estate when deciding who to use that works hard for you and is trustworthy. .

ZillowVERIFIED Very responsive and helpful in all areas. She went above and beyond for us. Helped us simultaneously sell and buy, which was very difficult at first because we had a deadline. She was able to stretch the date and help us sell in time.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael did a wonderful job of helping us with the sale of our mother's home after she passed. It was complicated by the executrix living out of state. Michael gave good advice about pricing, repairs, negotiations and was a good listener with an emotion-filled process. He always did whatever he said that he was going to do and responded quickly to every phone call. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Review for Member: Michael Harbord
ZillowVERIFIED To start I would give Michael more than 5 stars if I could and I really mean that. To say he went above and beyond is putting it lightly. Through all the hiccups and challenges he was right there guiding and helping me in every way. He took every phone call immediately and if not reposed with a text right away acknowledging my call. He made me more than comfortable in all decisions. Hes knowledgeable, ethnically, approachable and caring. The wisest choice you can make is to use Michael Harbord when buying or selling your house.

Review for Member: Michael Harbord
ZillowVERIFIED Michael is very kind, caring, concientious and extremely knowledgeable. Michael truly undertood my needs and made sure he found me the right home. We discussed every home in detail as to why or why not it would be a good fit for me. It was not about the sale it was about what was right for me. When visiting each house he had an eye for everything, it was like bringing an inspector along. I wound up buying a house from a very difficult seller but Michael stood by my side and got me through, even if I was going to walk he had my back. I dealth with 3 agents over 2 years trying to sell my home, I wish I had Michael, he surpassed them immeasurably. I will refer Michael without hesitation! Thank you Michael for helping me find my home!

Review for Member: Michael Harbord
ZillowVERIFIED Michael was referred to me through a trusted friend and i was not disappointed. We were purchasing our home on a contingency sale and from our first conversation prior to hiring him as our realtor, he was knowledgeable, supportive and honest. Our house was on the market within 72 hours of our first conversation. In a wild market, he always made himself available (day/night/weekends) to us to see properties just as they came on the market. When we found a house we loved, Michael worked tirelessly to make sure that our offer was accepted. Once the offer was accepted, Michael continued to stay involved in the process to be sure all the pieces were falling into place and remained on schedule. We sold and closed on our new home on the same day and Michael was an integral reason the process was so smooth. Even after we closed on our home he remained available to answer any questions. I love that he still calls or texts just to check in! I really dig this guy and the service he provides is second to none. If you are looking for an experienced realtor who will listen to your needs and really hustle for you...look no further, this is your guy!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is a shining star. He helped us for an extended period of time to get this house ready for sale. Once it was ready, he had it sold in days with multiple offers, above the asking price. He continuously went above and beyond for us and was always pleasant about it. Michael is professional, knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. I wouldn't think twice about using Michael again and you shouldn't hesitate to have him list your home or assist you in purchasing one.

Review for Member: Michael Harbord
ZillowVERIFIED He's the best. We were working with another realtor, and realized he was not very knowledgeable about waterfront properties.We met Michael at one of his listing and immediately saw how professional he was. We began working with him. Michael knew what we were looking for and our budget he also did the research so that there where no suprises. With a little tough negotiating on our behalf we found just what we were looking for.You'd be foolish not to use him.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael came to my home, I was really needing to sell my home quickly as it was listed so long with another company, I just told him when I needed to moved and why, he went right to work lining people up to see my house, He made sure that the house looked good for inspection and fire inspection. I hope you call him too, not just a realtor but also a friend

ZillowVERIFIED Michael was more than awesome. He knew exactly what my wife and I were looking for, was very responsive and had a wealth of knowledge. As first time home buyers we were a little scared and did not know much about the process but Mike walked us through each step and made the process easy and comforting. he also was able to recommmend lawyers, inspectors and mortgage lenders all within our budget.

Review for Member: Michael Harbord
ZillowVERIFIED Michael Harbord was nothing short of amazing, we can't say enough great things about him and the experience of buying our first home! It is a stressful process, and Michael made it as painless as he possibly could. He listened to our wants and needs, he was available for any questions or concerns - we felt that he really cared about us and helping us making our dream of owning our first home a reality. He is very proactive, and great at constant and consistent communication. We were originally under contract for a short sale, but found another home that we fell in love with while waiting to hear back from the bank. We were able to get out of the short sale and purchase the home of our dreams! He talked my husband and I off the ledge on more than a few occasions and put our minds at ease. He is very proactive, and also helpful in explaining the whole process, what is going on, what has to happen - and he keeps on top of all the entities that need to do their part in making the process go smoothly (or as smooth as it can possibly go). We have a name for him - "The Lord of Real Estate" and the "Boss of Real Estate". He is very knowledgeable, knows what he is doing, and loves what he does and is passionate about it. He is definitely who you want working for you with all of your real estate needs! We highly recommend him, and will be using him for any of our future real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is extremely knowledgeable and professional in his work. When he priced my home, he quoted "This is most likely what you will get for your home." Well when the couple came in and bought our home for that price (asking price), I was thoroughly impressed.I would highly recommend Michael Harbord!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is a kind, understanding and knowledgeable professional. He knows the answers and if he doesn't he is quick to find out. He is willing to help and very available with every step of the process. He found me the home I was looking for and provided many suggestions to make it a very smooth transition. You will not regret your experience with Michael. He will get the home you are looking for at the price you are willing to pay.
