Review for Member: Michael Prainito
ZillowVERIFIED "It was a pleasure to work with Mike Prainito. Not only was Mike the seller of the house we purchased before selling our home, but we were so impressed with him that we hired him without thinking twice to list our home for us after we purchase our current home. This is the kind of realtor people wish they could find! Mike Prainito isn't misleading in anyway but is upfront and honest with what to expect in fees, costs, what your house should realistically be listed for and to sell in a timely manner and honesty in what your future taxes will be with your new home. Its a rarity to find a stand up man with integrity and honesty anymore. I will be referring Mike Prainito to all of my friends and family members when they are looking to buy or sell.Thanks,Mike

ZillowVERIFIED Last fall we moved from Frankfort and based on the fact that it was September and kids were now in school we were figuring that we were not going to get an interested buyer for at least a few months. We had known from friends that Mike was a reputable realtor but it wasn't until we sat down with him that we immediately began to understand we were in good hands and we could relax a bit. Mike takes the extra time all the time and is very attentive to all the details. We also came to find that he has a fantastic network because in less than 24 hours we not only had a bidding war on our house but the deal was signed before the next day! That's correct, he sold our house in less than 24 hours. Furthermore, after the closing of the sale he was even very considerate of the buyers as he was making sure things were taken care of prior to them moving in. Mike cares about the entire process from start to finish and whether you are buying or selling or both we would certainly recommend Mike Prainito.

ZillowVERIFIED "We had met Mike Prainito previously through our daughter who recommended him. He helped us find an agent for the sale our house (in another area) and when we were ready to purchase we chose Mike as our realtor. He was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Mike was always so prompt in responding to us and answering our questions. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and above all, honest and works in his customer's best interest. We will recommend Mike to other buyers/sellers."

ZillowVERIFIED "Mike came to my house before I decided to use his services. He explained all that he does in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. After I listed with him he was also available to talk to if I had any questions or concerns. When I was worried about something he would explain in detail what was going on or what was going to happen. Mike Prainito does his job with professionalism and friendliness. Mike was very respectful and did his job well."

ZillowVERIFIED As first time home buyers my girlfriend and I were not familiar with most of the process. So while looking at listings online I found Michael Prainito on Zillows website and decided to make an appointment for him to show us a home. We met Michael and were both very impressed with him from day one. He is very professional, very knowledgeable and prompt. His positive attitude and work ethic through the entire process was a great experience for us. He was always there for our concerns and questions and he helped us find a home we really liked and eventually purchased. We are very fortunate to have found Michael and will recommend him to anyone we know looking to purchase or sell a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Prainito was great to work with. He always answered the hundreds of questions we had for him, almost immediately. He took us to look at every house we wanted to see, and walked us through the whole process step by step. He was very familiar with the areas that we were looking in. When it came to negotiating a deal, Michael gave us his expert opinion, and tried his hardest to get us the best deal. He keeps in contact with his clients from start to finish, and we even heard from him after closing, as he likes to check in and make sure his clinents settle in well. When we decide to move again, I will definitely be contacting Michael. He is a very personable and relatable realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael was fantastic to work with, he sold our home and helped us find our new home. When Michael listed our house, the pictures were great and definitely contributed to our house selling in 7 days!! Michael was very efficient and helpful through the whole process of selling our home. When it came to finding our new home, I can't say enough about Michael. He was always available to take us looking at new places and would give us his best advice and guidance. Michael is very knowledgeable and makes you feel like family. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone.

Review for Member: Michael Prainito
ZillowVERIFIED Michael helped me buy my first home and was with me from start to finish in the process. Michael has an eye for detail which was showcased when we looked at houses. He would always be aware of the little things such as cracks I wouldnt notice, life of appliances, updates that would need to be done to the house, etc. (things that I would need to pay for in addition to the price of the house itself. Michael helped me find the right house for the price I wanted. Michael recommended a home inspector, an attorney, and a lender for me and I was very satisfied with them as well. Everyone I worked with was very detailed, thorough, and profession, especially Michael. 10/10 would recommend for anybody looking to buy.

ZillowVERIFIED We worked with Mike Prainito from Century 21 Pride to sell our home of 25 years and we couldn't have been more pleased! We received multiple offers within a few weeks of listing the home thanks in large part to Mikes incredible real estate knowledge. He brought in a fabulous photographer to showcase our home online which brought in serious buyers right away. Mike made suggestions of how to stage our home which also helped make it more appealing to a larger group of potential buyers. Mike helped walk us through all the online contract signing. He stayed in regular contact with us and made sure the transaction moved along in a timely manner. Mike was always available to answer our many questions. We had a great experience!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Prainito handled both the sale of our house and the purchase of our new home. His knowledge of the area and experience made both transactions proceed quickly and smoothly. We believe that we received a great price for the house we sold due to Mike's handling of the deal. Over the past year, Mike handled 5 real estate deals for our immediate family. Mike is not related to us. He began representing our family upon the recommendation of another satisfied client of Mike.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is an excellent choice for your realtor! He will make absolutely sure, once you let him know what you NEED (physical issues, etc.) and want, to work tirelessly finding that perfect home for you! We needed a home that is handicap accessible and he made sure that the homes he showed us were. He measured doorways, distance to bathrooms, size and accessibility. He will tell you up front if a home really will not, in his experience, work for you. He is well acquainted with so many areas around the south suburbs. He will get back to you very quickly with any of your questions or concerns. He will work on your behalf to get you the best price possible, either selling OR buying your next home. He is honest and you will not be cheated. He also knows the people you need to get your mortgage, and they are very trustworthy, also. You will not be sorry when you get Michael on your team for your home needs!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Prainito was the best realtor we have ever used. He always responded to us, no matter how busy he was. We sold our home within 3 days when Mike listed it. He was very thorough through all aspects of our home sale. He is very trustworthy and communicated well with us throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend him. We will definitely use him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Buying and selling with Mike Prainito has been amazing! Mike has made the entire 'moving process' a complete breeze. Mike has taken the time from day one to make sure we fully understood every step of the process and answered all of our questions. Mike is so patient and gives his honest input when asked and never treated our family like customers. He truly is great at what he does and we are forever thankful! We will definitely recommend Mike Prainito to our family and friends!

ZillowVERIFIED We could feel we were in good hands instantly with Mike. He made the process very smooth for us- first time home buyers. He is honest, professional and demonstrated great work ethic. Even after a couple of months since the purchase, we turn to him for any questions we have. Paint or vent, he's now our guy who has a guy and is just a phone call away.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Prainito is a real estate genius. He is very professional, knowledgeable and prompt. He showed us many houses with the features we were looking in our price range. He introduced us to several reliable people, from home inspectors to mortgage brokers that made buying our new home enjoyable. Michael Prainito has continued to help us settle into our house and continues to answer phone calls long after our purchase. I highly recommend him if you are looking for the best.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike should me My new Condo at 7903 Trinity Circle in Tinley Park. He arranged for additional showings and even got the Gas Fire Place going for me. He then listed my Home in Oak Lawn. The pictures he had taken of my property were very professional and sold the home. I had a record number of showings. Mie always, scheduled the showings with me prior to the date and time. He alsways contacted the other realator to verify they were still planning on coming out to the home, so that I wasn't waiting. He was always very professional, and went the extra mile. To help in any way that he was able to do so. He did a great job!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Prainito was so easy to work with! He went through all the steps, explaining each one thoroughly, from getting my house ready to sell, putting it on the market, dealing with showings, and accepting an offer. He is very hard working! Super knowledgeable about homes in the Tinley, Frankfort & Orland area. Kept me updated at all times and was a pleasure to work with! Mike was very patient in answering all of my questions and concerns. My house sold quickly for asking price and I believe it was due to the suggestions that Mike gave to me as well as his good rapport with other agents that brought prospective buyers through. I would not hesitate in recommending Mike as a realtor. As a matter of fact, my daughter and son also worked with Mike and both were very pleased with his efforts. A+ realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Prainito was a pleasure to work with. He is very friendly and very thorough. He was willing to explain every step of getting our house ready to sell all the way through closing in the sale. I had many questions and Mike always answered them patiently. Mike knew a lot about homes in our neighborhood, having lived in the area as well as having many clients in the area. He was always available when we needed him and answered calls and texts quickly. We appreciated that he helped us position our house to sell quickly. His professional photographs of our house really helped attract prospective buyers. Mike followed up with the realtors showing our home and was able to give us feedback. He even came to our closing to be sure that everything went smoothly. I really can't say enough positive things about Michael Prainito. I have now referred him to represent my mother, brother, and a friend in selling their houses-that's how impressed I was with him.

ZillowVERIFIED As a small business owner, we pride ourselves on our customer service skills. Michael Prainito shares the same dedication on customer service. He always answered his phone in a timely fashion and kept us informed throughout the process. When it came time to list our house, we were really impressed at his knowledge of our area and of the competing homes. He was extremely friendly and never pressured us on the listing price of our home. Michael Prainito came to our house and pointed out the positive selling points instead of telling us the negatives. He made it a point to meet with the buyers as well as any inspectors. The buyers told us at closing what a pleasure it was to deal with Michael Prainito. Michael's negotiating skills were suburb when we were looking for another property we got our property for much less than originally expected. The process of selling and buying a house can be pretty overwhelming process, but Michael Prainito made it a stress free experience. We would strongly recommend Michael Prainito to any of our family or friends and it would be a no brainer on who we would use again if we needed another realtor.

Review for Member: Michael Prainito
ZillowVERIFIED We were very lucky to have Mike Prainito as our agent. He made every step of the selling and buying process run as smoothly as possible. His knowledge of the area homes, prices, and overall market are truly second to none. As in any real estate transaction, effective communication is very important. This is one of Mike's greatest strengths. He is always available and often ready at a moments notice to either show a property or to help us with any question we might have had. It is often said that selling and buying a house is one of the most stressful times in a persons life. Mike did everything possible to ease the transition from our old home to our new one. I would recommend Mike and century 21 Pride to anyone and I know they won't be disappointed. Because of this whole process we are now also lucky enough to call Mike a friend and are truly appreciative of that as well.

Review for Member: Michael Prainito
ZillowVERIFIED Mike was highly recommended to me by a coworker who also used Mike to sell his house. I can honestly say that Mike surpassed my expectations in all areas of my home buying experience from start to finish. First of all, Mike has excellent communication skills. He was so easy to get a hold of by phone, text, or email. I work the midnight shift, so it wasn't a problem for me to reach him later in the evening or early in the morning. His responses were very timely. Although I know he was busy, he took the time needed to make me feel like I was his top priority. Also, he is very honest. Mike didn't sugarcoat anything, and that was something I was looking for in a realtor and respected greatly about him. He was willing to show me any properties I wanted to see without making me feel like I was bothering him or wasting his time. Although my house budget wasn't very high, I never felt any pressure to buy something I couldn't afford. He worked with the seller to negotiate a great price on my new house. Mike helped my fiancA(C) and me find a house we love and will enjoy for many, many years to come. I cannot recommend Mike Prainito enough as your realtor. As my coworker said to me, 'trust me, you won't be sorry!'

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Prainito was our first and only choice when it came to finding our dream home in the Brookside Glen neighborhood and surrounding areas. From start to finish he took our calls no matter how small the question or what hour of day. He tirelessly helped us search within our specifications and took us to as many showings as we could fit in, never pressuring or pushing, only advising with first hand knowledge and experience. He knows the area and the market. His advice was always open and honest. His down to earth humor made it easy to work with him. He truly goes to bat for his clients, especially in sticky situations and negotiations. He worked hard for us and now we just closed on our new home in a timely manner. We tell all our friends who are thinking of listing that Mike will work for them efficiently and fairly. Thanks for a job well done, Mike!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike is a fantastic realtor to help with your home needs. I am in sales and I never felt like I was being sold. He listened to my family's needs and guided us in the right directions. He went above and beyond in every facet of the transaction. Mike offered refferals for a home inspector, morgate broker, and an attorney and they were just as professional. Mike made our family's dream home come true and we couldn't be hippier! If you are looking for a trustworthy realtor that really cares, look no further than Mike Prainito!

ZillowVERIFIED I found Mike on a whim. His name was listed under a property I was interested in viewing. I sent a request and within 20 minutes Mike called me to setup a showing. Upon meeting Mike at the property he was very upfront about the condition of the property. 3 months later after viewing several properties made an offer and after a lot of back in forth with a somewhat difficult seller we purchased our home. I appreciate all Mike's efforts to get the deal done. Mike's knowledge and negotiation skills were top notch. I will definitely recommend anyone in the market purchasing or selling to put Mike Prainito on their team.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Prainito went above and beyond anything we ever expected. From counseling us on the purchase of a foreclosure, to assessing our existing home and providing a comprehensive market analysis, and to listing our home, Mike was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and thorough. Mike's advice helped us to sell our house to the first people that walked through at a price that exceeded our initial expectations. We would highly recommend working with Mike on your next sale or purchase!

ZillowVERIFIED Being an elderly lady I was nervous about selling my home of 40 years. After interviewing several agents in my area I decided to use Michael to sell my home and help me find a new condo. He was a delight to work with and very patient with me. I told Michael what I wanted to sell my home for and he suggested a higher price after doing some research. All 3 of the other agents, had agreed to list my home at the lower price. By listening to Michael I ended up selling my home for $10,000 more then if I would have listed with one of the other agents. It was under contract within 3 weeks and he assisted me in finding the perfect condo. I closed on both properties 2 days apart and Michael attended both closings to reassure me and answer any questions. Throughout the process Michael would answer my phone calls or call me back within minutes no matter what the time I would recommend anyone looking for a honest, hardworking and caring agent to use Michael.

Review for Member: Michael Prainito
ZillowVERIFIED Mike was very attentive and concerned about our needs. He provided all the detailed information we needed to determine our sales price, gave his opinion and facts on the current market yet was clear that we had the ultimate decision. He was not pushy nor did he make promises he could not deliver like other realtors did that we interviewed. He is honest and dedicated to helping his clients. We talked to several Realtors who only talked about themselves, the size of their house, the kind of car they drove; nothing about what they could and would do to promote the sale of our home. Beware of the Realtors who hide behind a 20 year old picture of themselves in their ads, if they can't be honest with themselves they aren't going to be honest with you! Mike and the entire Century 21 Pride team were dedicated to making the process of selling our home not only quick but without worries. We would highly recommend Mike Prainito as your Real Estate Agent.
