Two of the Prather team were involved in our sale. I think our realtor (seller) was pushed around by the buyer's realtor. During the home inspection the inspector found a clogged drain in the 6 year old HVAC and the buyers wanted the HVCA to be replaced when all that was needed was blowing out the drain pipe. The other repair the buyer wanted was to replace the deck but the inspector comment was only that 10 boards on the deck were worn. Also responses from the buyer were always delivered at the last minute late at night. This sale was very stressful and I do not think the realtors were working to smooth out the bumps.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael and the team are experts at what they do! He knows the Lexington area very well and Kennedy communicated with me frequently to make sure my housing needs were being met. She began assisting me in early 2019 and we finally found the perfect spot at the end of the year. I could not have asked for a better first time home buying experience. I worked with Michael based on a recommendation from a friend and will be recommending his services to anyone looking to start the home buying journey.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael B. Prather has listed and sold two houses(2018 and 2020) in Lexington, KY for me. With respect to his efforts related to selling both my houses, he earned the five-star rating fair and square. Sincerely, Shafter Bailey.

ZillowVERIFIEDi highly recommend the Prather team. We worked with Jonathan Mifflin and he was outstanding! He was knowledgeable, patient and considerate to all our needs and wants. He was always available to show us any homes and made us feel at ease to take our time. He helped us through the whole process. Thanks Jonathan!

ZillowVERIFIEDI highly recommend the Prather Team. They are very professional and go above and beyond to find the right place for you. Chip Palmer of the Prather Team worked hard to make sure he was taking me to homes that fit my needs best and was very prompt in responding to messages and explaining the process. This was very important as I was in a time crunch and needed a place to move in in a short time. Michael Prather was also very prompt in responding to queries, explaining the process and finding the narrowing down the list of 'right homes' for me. I am very happy with my purchase. They also have a good list of contractors and other professional contacts needed to make home-buying process smooth and to get any fixes for your new home.

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a home is one of the most daunting processes and we can honestly say that Michael and his team were tremendous. From identifying potential homes to negotiations to closing - Michael and his team were excellent. He was receptive and great to communicate with. He understood what was important to us and truly worked in our best interests. We absolutely would (and have) referred Michael to others that are looking to buy/sell a home. I'd have no hesitation to recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDTyler and The Prather Team worked patiently and persistently to find us the perfect first home. When we were ready to stop looking, they never gave up and kept working on our house hunt. We are so grateful for them!

ZillowVERIFIEDIs was a real pleasure working with Michael Prather and the Prather Team again. They were very helpful and knowledgeable with the selling and buying of a new home. He has sold 3 homes for me and has helped me buy 2 new homes over the years. There is no one I trust more when it comes to buying and selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you want someone to listen to your needs, work his tail off, and be honest and realistic, this is the guy. Extremely knowledgeable of the market, various transaction processes, and expectations for schedules. Weve used Michael to sell two homes and to purchase another. He also gave us feedback for a realtor in another market for our last transaction. A++

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael and Tanner provided excellent service to us as we searched for our new home. They provided the information we needed to explore different options - renovations, extensions, resale value etc... but never once made us feel pressured or suggested ideas outside the budget we defined. They were friendly and responsive and just really great to work with. They understood what we wanted and were patient with us as we waited for the right opportunity. We're incredibly grateful for their help - home buying is not a stress-free experience but they minimized that stress as much as possible.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis my my family's 4th realty partnership with Michael and the Prather Group (in this case Tyler Higgins and Jen Caba). In every experience, Michael and team demonstrated not only great local realty knowledge, but more importantly they are committed to meeting their customer's needs and to doing the right thing. Could not recommend more highly.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael came highly recommended from a colleague, and we now see why. From our first meeting, it was evident that he was a perfect fit for us. He was genuine, attentive, has a sharp eye for detail, and an impressive memory. His understanding of the market is superior. Given his super busy schedule, you would never know it. He has the ability to make you feel like his only client. Gotta love Michael!!

ZillowVERIFIEDThe Prather team did a great job getting us to closing on both homes. We were very picky in finding a new home, and once we did, they got us a great price. Once we listed our existing home, we were able to sell in less than 24 hours with multiple offers.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe know Michael personally, and now we know him professionally as well. We listed a property with Michael in July and closed a few weeks later. Michael was very knowledgeable about our area, but still gave much thought to market research and local comps. Through his years of experience, Michael was also familiar with good, reliable local contractors in case we chose to have any pre-listing work done, which we did. He was open, honest and responsive to our ideas and questions. Michael knows the business well. He worked very hard for us, and he will work very hard for you, too.

ZillowVERIFIEDI am just moving into Lexington, and Michael and his team were recommended by a friend. It was a great recommendation. Michael knows the area and home values. He is very open about each property's pros and cons, and does a great job is negotiating the best deal for the property. His team has also been terrific in helping me through the process. From inspections to schedules to paperwork they made everything as easy as possible. They are even assisting in setting up contractors for some minor rehab (which Michael and the Home Inspector personally noted for me). Very glad I was connected with the Prather Team!!

ZillowVERIFIEDI met Michael when I planned on moving to Lexington for work. From that first meeting, Michael was nothing but exceptional. He has truly become family. This was my first time buying a house. Michael helped me through EVERY STEP. He connected me with Bench Mark mortgage broker and that was very helpful. He would give great advice about when to proceed with a home and when not to proceed. I felt like he truly had my best interest at heart and NEVER wanted me to purchase a home he did not see potential in. He is great at his craft and he will make sure you make a great decision. He is amazing at negotiating and he is not just a realtor but a great source and contact for information especially if you are new to the area. I honestly cannot say enough about him. I would recommend him ten thousand times over.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe already knew Michael because he had been our neighbor and so he knows the neighborhood very well. Our experience of selling our home went very smoothly. Michael took care of the details and was easy to contact by phone and by email. Signing documents via email made it very easy. The whole team seems to work very well together.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael did a fine job to represent me (Buyer) and the seller to negotiate and coordinate a smooth transaction. Although not one of the high dollar sales, he always was prompt, courteous, professional and gave me full support to work through multiple fixes leading up to the day of closing.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe have worked with at least 10 to 12 realators over the last 21 years with different properties and have NEVER had such wonderful timely response and caring about helping us in all aspects of our sale of our home. Will definitely recommend them and use them again if we move back to the area.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had an exceptional experience working with Jeff from Savannah Lane Homes and Michael. They went above and beyond to help us make decisions, gave us information and worked to make building a home a seamless experience. They built the majority of the home for us while we were overseas and we were so pleased with the outcome when we finally had a chance to see it. We loved that we could personalize any area of the home exactly as we needed it and went through a few revisions on the floor plan. Any times we've had questions or needed something changed throughout the process, Jeff was always accommodating and helpful. We are so grateful and feel very blessed to have found this great team to build our home with. All in all, it was a great experience and we would recommend them to anyone looking for great quality and a very personalized home-building experience.--Jeremy and Amy Coyne

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael and his team at Prather Real Estate were great to work with. Michael helped us sell the home of our recently deceased mother. Due to his professionalism and knowledge of the local community and real estate market , we received a quick and very satisfactory offer on the house. He was available to answer our questions and concerns all through a very personal transaction.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe had the pleasure of dealing with Michael (and his team) as a buyers agent for us. We did not know him prior to our involvement in this process but he's the type of person that you feel you've known for a lifetime. Extremely personable, knowledgeable and professional in all areas of the process. We could not recommend more a person to be a agent of yours. Not only did everything go smoothly with no surprises, we also feel like a lasting relationship was formed. To us, that's exactly the type of person you want representing you in real estate. Thanks much Michael!

ZillowVERIFIEDI would absolutely recommend Michael Prather. We were relocating from out of state and were not sure where in Lexington we would want to call home. Having a 10th grader made that decision a bit more tricky. We met with Michael after a few emails and phone calls. Michael puts you at ease immediately, he is very professional but easy to get along with. His attention to detail, knowledge of the local area and the way our needs were taken into consideration sets him apart. He worked diligently to find the right home for us. His great negotiation skills and the ability to interact with all personalities makes him an asset to the home buyer. The whole process from start to closing was made much easier working with Michael and the Prather team who were always in contact with us with reminders of what was needed to be done. Michael always had an answer to our many questions or would have one asap. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael.

ZillowVERIFIEDMr Prather has earned 5 stars due to his professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness while my property was listed with him. Since working with Mr Prather, I have worked with another realtor out of state to purchase another property (if I could have I would have utilized Mr Prather) and the experience was not near as great as working with Mr Prather. Mr Prather legitimately made me feel as though my property was his most important. He was available at all hours due to my unconventional schedule. I highly recommend Mr Prather to anyone buying or selling in his area.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichael found us the house we were looking for. He told us what to bid, based on the current markets. It ws much lower that we would have bid on our own. The buyers accepted the offer right away. Micheal knew the area, and the market. Thanks to him, we now have the house of our dreams.
