ReviewMichael helped us purchase the house for my Dad and sell it after his passing. He was invaluable in the process as neither myself or my brothers live in Oregon. He was able to connect us with both landscaping contractors and housing remodeling contractors to improve the condition of the house prior to selling and was able to be our middleman and update us on the status of the repairs as we were out of state. He recommended the ideal work to put into the house for optimal salability and the ideal timing to put the house on the market. I would certainly recommend reaching out to Michael to make your buying or selling process as easy as possible!

ReviewLook no further, Michael is your real estate agent. He grew up in Newport and knows every square inch of Lincoln County and the Central Oregon Coast like the back of his hand. Hes old enough and experienced enough to understand the real estate industry inside and out, but young enough to bring the energy and tech savviness to stay efficient and responsive throughout the process. I worked with Michael on my recent home purchase, and I felt confident the entire time that I was in good hands and well represented. His advice was spot on, and he was able to negotiate a better deal than I thought was possible. I highly recommend Michael, hes worth it, and hes personable, engaging, and makes the whole experience enjoyable.

ReviewSelling a completely oceanfront home on the Oregon Coast comes with unique challenges, especially when there are no true comparable sales. Michael Kessinger understood that immediately. From our first meeting, he brought a level of professional, positive energy that truly stood out. He is confident, knowledgeable, and simply a joy to work with. While other agents focused strictly on past numbers and suggested significantly lower pricing, Michael saw the full value of our one-of-a-kind, fully turnkey coastal home. He respected our strategy, supported our reasoning, and brought creative marketing ideas that reflected the uniqueness of the property. His knowledge of the Oregon Coast market is exceptional, and his negotiation skills truly stood out when we encountered a challenging buyer. He remained steady, confident, and strategic throughout the process. We ultimately secured a $1,000,000 cash offer, right where we believed the home belonged. If you are selling on the Oregon Coast, you want Michael in your corner!

ReviewMichael was an amazing person to work with from start to finish. He goes above and beyond in looking at all aspects of the home and helped us look beyond the beauty of the home. Things like cliff issues, roof age, leaks, erosion.... all the things that become a headache long after the romance fades :-) Since we are not from Lincoln City, he connected us with handymen, general contractors, and even the city's short-term rental person. This approach and engagement far beyond the financial part is what makes Michael really stand out. On closing day, he welcomed us with some thoughtful gifts that we will definitely use. We look forward to having a drink with him in our home soon.

ReviewMichael is the type of agent you want to work with. He knows the area really well. He was quick to get back with me when I reached out by text, phone or email. I always had a response within an hour or two. He made me feel like I was his number one priority, even though I know he was working with other clients. He found answers to all my questions. I highly recommend him. This is the 5th house I have bought in my life and so I have some experience with realtors. He comes highly recommended.

ReviewWe are out of state buyers working with Michael on a purchase in the Oregon Coast. His service was extraordinary. His local knowledge of the area was extremely helpful and provided us with a lot of inside knowledge that only a long time resident would be able to provide. His communication was prompt and thorough during the whole process. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone.

ReviewCouldn't be happier with the way Michael helped us through the home buying experience. Being first time home buyers, Michael helped clearly outline the ups and downs of the process, and instilled us with confidence throughout. We were able to find a beautiful home, and Michael used his local knowledge, and market prowess to help us make the deal happen. 10/10 would recommend!

ReviewMichael is a wizard. He helped me find the first home I bought. I wanted to sell my house while I was on vacation, and he made it happen. I will be calling him again when I'm in the market to buy or sell another house.

ReviewMichael was recommended to us as we were out of towners. We wanted a home in a certain area of the central Oregon coast. Being from San Diego we needed local expertise. Michael made himself available to check on properties long distance and even FaceTimed when we were unable to be in the area. During the escrow process Michael was very responsive when we ran into a roadblock. We would work with Michael again in a heartbeat. We will definitely recommend him any chance we get.

ReviewMichael has gone over the top for me with the property he sold for me. No matter what situation came up, he was able to handle it fast and accordingly. I will only give him my business for any future purchases or sales. A real asset to the coastal area. So glad I was able to find Michael. Thank you !!!

ReviewMichael was absolutely wonderful to work with. His knowledge of the area and available inventory allowed us to ask for and receive top dollar for our home. He was always on top of every situation during the sales process. He even brought in a friend that took a professional video of the inside of the home as well as an outside drone flyby of the exterior and property to post on the website. We couldn't have asked for a nicer, more conscientious person to represent us throughout the process!

ReviewMy wife and I started looking for a home in mid April, Michael arranged our visits, always after 5pm due to our work schedules(Sorry Michael). We found the home we wantwd in May and Michael expertly walked us trough the process. He attended our signing, and even met us at our favorite restaurant to give us the keys. Michael made a stressful situation so easy and kept us informed and at ease from viewing through closing.

ReviewMichael is a breath of fresh air! He's hard working, honest, readily available, and highly knowledgeable about the area. He was consistently quick in responding to our calls and texts, filing paperwork and communicating between us and the seller's team. The process of finding and buying our house was smooth, pleasurable and drama free. With Michael we felt that we had somebody dependable that we could lean on through every step. We've never worked with a better realtor!

ReviewMichael is hands down the best realator we have ever worked with. An honest hard working guy with heaps of local knowledge and insight. He is a very good communicator, which was key as we were from out of town and buying in a competitive market. Very happy with him.

ReviewWe had a great experience working with Michael. He was knowledgeable and had no problem helping us whenever we had a question. Michael took time out of his time off to check in and make sure our transition out of our house was as smooth as possible. He has gone above and beyond in helping us to find a new house by listening to our needs/wants and finding what he thinks would be a good fit for our family. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy or sell a house on then coast.

ReviewMichael was an energetic agent and was easy to contact on the phone, email, or in person. He responded immediately to all our inquiries and questions, and took action even on the "little" matters. The property we purchased was a foreclosure, meaning that nothing about the buying process was straightforward, but Michael ensured that everything came out well in the end. Our purchase was a small one, but Michael never let our purchase slide to the back-burner.

ReviewMichael is an extremely conscientious and hard-working real estate professional. We moved to this beautiful area from Nevada less than a year ago. Michael not only knows the area up and down the Central Oregon Coast, he is very keyed in to the buyer's needs. We have utilized Michael's expertise twice as buyers, have referred him to other people that want a "don't mess around" attitude. Considering his short time in the business, he is prepared to rise to the occasion and assist in any way he can. He is truly an asset to the real estate business.

ReviewMichael was referred to me by a long time friend. I was very impressed with Michael's warm professional demeanor as well as how hard he worked to make sure I got the best deal on my new condo. I do not live in the area so Michael also went to the condo several times to make sure everything was OK with a leak in the roof and to take measurements for me, etc. Michael went beyond the call of duty. He is honest which can be a rarity in this day and age. I would hire Michael again as in a New York minute.

ReviewMichael is a first class Real Estate agent who is eager to help you find a home for the best possible deal. His extensive knowledge of the Oregon Coast real estate market makes him a one of a kind. He helped me search out homes in the area within my specific budget, and provided unique insight into each location he showed. I would recommend Michael Kessinger without any reserves.

ReviewTo use Michael Kessinger as my real estate was the easiest decision of the entire home buying process. Being a first time home buyer was challenging, but Michael put in the time and effort to make sure everything went according to plan. My unusual work schedule would have made it difficult to stay in contact with an average real estate agent. Micheal went above and beyond by making himself available on weekends and nights. Michael isn't the pushy car salesman type he is going to help find the right house for you. I would highly recommend contacting Michael Kessinger if your interested in buying a home.

ReviewMichael quickly grasped what I was looking for in a property before we ever met. When I arrived he had a list of six properties to show me, showing them in the order he thought might fit my needs best. I ended up buying the second property I was shown. The experience was simple and very satisfying. The deal closed smoothly, but still there were a few details that came up that he helped me with, which was important since I had returned home.

ReviewI was quite impressed with Michael. The local "star" agent had shown me a couple of homes, but didn't put in any effort after that to find me a home. Michael worked very hard to earn my business. He was quite diligent about sending me new listings, potential possibilities and pushing the envelope during my search for a home. Ultimately we found a great home and he negotiated a killer price for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone looking for a home on the coast. He grew up here and his knowledge of the area (& where to buy & not buy) was invaluable!

ReviewWe were from out of state so relied on Michael to have listings ready to view. Sent him listings we found and accommodated our changing needs. Oversaw inspections for us. Told him out bottom dollar with negotiations and made it happen. Prompt on all documents, made signing from a distance easy. We would use him again and recommend him to family and friends.

ReviewMicheal recently sold our home and is currently helping us find our dream home. He worked extremely hard to sell our home and was very professional throughout the process. Michael has been extremely diligent in our home search. He knows what we want, keeps us in the loop with all new and active listings, and doesn't try to pressure us or sell us something outside our desired criteria. I highly recommend Michael as a real estate agent. He knows Newport well and has great community connections. If you want an honest, hard working, and responsive agent, Michael is the right choice.
