We were initially excited about working with Michael to sell my elderly mothers condominium, as his colorful brochures refer to him as the "Condo King", and he had experience with the area where her property was located. Although he was fairly responsive to our questions throughout the process, his obvious disregard for her best interest and lack of knowledge regarding important laws were some of the reasons why our opinion of him progressively soured. It appeared his main goal was to list the property for the lowest amount possible to earn a quick commission and move on to the next client. Even after we showed him that several reputable websites had valued the property for a higher amount, he insisted that listing it that high would be unsuccessful. Fortunately, we chose not to follow his advice, listed it for the price we felt was appropriate and sold it for an amount higher than the list price he had suggested. Another example of poor advice we received from him was when he instructed us to replace the smoke detectors, stating that they did not comply with the law. After reviewing this law, we quickly discovered he didnt have a correct understanding of it, as it didnt say what he claimed it said. We educated him on the law and why the smoke detectors were in compliance and were able to avoid another unnecessary expense by not following his guidance. One of the few times we did follow his advice resulted in a needless expense to expedite documents to meet a closing date that was ultimately pushed out further regardless. Additionally, we had to send him multiple requests on different occasions to correct photographs he took of the property before those corrections were implemented. Something else that bothered us was that he chose to take more than half of the 6% commission we agreed to pay, versus splitting it evenly with the buyers agent. We felt this was not only greedy and unfair but feared it had the potential to discourage some agents from working with him. We will not hire him again and would caution others before considering him as your Realtor.

Michael listed my condo and had a plan from the first time that met, which resulted in multiple offers in the course of just a few days. HIs professional knowledge of the area and recent sales was unparalleled and he helped to maximize my sale with useful suggestions. This was the first home that I've sold and his experience made it a breeze. Michael has great communication skills and made sure that I was informed at all stages of the sale. If you're looking for a realtor, look no further.

Michael did a fantastic job selling our condo. His marketing skills brought interested buyers nearly every day to our condo ( sometimes multiple buyers in one day) and we received a contract 12 days after the listing. He was always responsive to our questions and provided clear communication throughout the process. He made the selling process easy for us. What really impressed us was his kind and caring attitude during the process. Great customer service is rare these days, and Michael proved that excellent customer service still exists!

I first met Michael 5-6 years ago, when I began to look for condos (downsizing). WE struck a deal that he would send me listings and I would check some of them out....noting likes and dislikes (i.e. location, floor plan. etc). at hat time I told him he would be my realtor through the whole process, including the sale of my home (904 WRL). He and I kept our parts of the bargain and closed another deal for him! Years of service: 2014-2020

Michael assisted us from the start of our searching until the paperwork was signed at settlement. He assisted us in finding what we were looking for with his vast knowledge and contacts within the Condominium community. People know that he will treat them properly and with true professionalism in every detail. He even goes to bat for you with the lending bank and the Title Company should there be any questions or problems. Michael is the ultimate professional in every way.

I called Mr. Phipps to sell my parent's condo. We completed the paperwork on Tuesday, he listed the property on Wednesday and by Friday we had a full price offer! The pictures he took of the property were wonderful. He was in contact with me every step of the way explaining everything in simple terms. This was an emotional experience for me, but Michael made it stress-free. I trusted Michael 100% with the property and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would definitely use Michael again. You can't go wrong with the Condo King!

I have bought and sold 4 homes now. Michael Phipps is by far the most professional, punctual, focused and knowledgeable Realtor I have ever worked with. From the first phone call he put me at ease and made it very clear that he was putting my needs first. It was not an easy sale. He was calm thru the hurdles we had to jump thru to make the sale happen. He followed up with me when he said that he would, helping me achieve all of the small tasks that could have fallen thru the cracks and prolonged the process. Michael's experience showed thru often as he would prompt me to 'be ready' for certain events. Whether it be having certain paperwork, or suggesting ways to make my home more appealing. The sale of the property went faster than I anticipated. Michael listed and sold my home and it all happened under 40 days. AMAZING. Whether someone is a first time home buyer/seller, or someone that has lots of experience, I highly recommend anyone to use Mr Phipps. He is a personable, caring and kindhearted man. His stellar reputation is well earned.

I had a condo that was on the market for a year with very little activity. So I called the Condo King. Greatest move I ever made as he sold it within two weeks. It's all about your realtor knowing his business with all the in and outs. Michael proved just that. He is always available to answer questions and handle any problems that cropped up..As the years went by, Michael listed and sold three more properties within record time. Michael Phipps is a true professional .

Michael was absolutely above and beyond being a realtor. He had to deal with my 97 year old father, my uncle as a go between, and me in Alaska. He kept all of us updated on progress. If I could offer more than five stars, I would.

Mike helped me sell an estate property. His knowledge of the condo market in Forest Hill helped me with pricing the unit, and preparing it for showing. He was quick to respond to my questions, and took the time to walk me through the paperwork. He made the experience easier during a difficult and emotional time. I would recommend him to anyone selling a property in Harford County.

My wife and I got involved with Michael when he sold our condo. He came just as he was advertised, "the Condo King." His expertise in the entire process was definitely beneficial to ourselves as well as our buyers. He worked in the best interests of us both. At the time of our putting our condo on the market competition was very heavy and Michael sold our place in just over one month at an excellent price. I told him that if he ever wanted to switch vocations he should take up photography because the pictures he took of our place were a major selling factor. We would recommend Michael to anyone interested in buying or selling not only condos but any type of real estate.
