    Working with Michael to sell our home was the best decision we could have made. He guided us through every step, from preparing and staging the home to pricing and strategy. His suggestions made a clear difference in how strong the home showed and the interest we attracted. We accepted an early offer that ultimately didnt move forward, and Michael handled the situation with total professionalism. He kept us informed, stayed calm, and helped us stay calm. Within a couple of days he brought in an even better offer with a faster close. He also negotiated a free rent-back, which took so much pressure off our move into our new home. The entire process felt organized and smooth because he was always one step ahead and truly looking out for us. We couldnt be happier with the result and highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to sell their home.

    Michael is very professional in his real estate dealings. He had full knowledge and did extreme analysis of our situation of home search. He is a very hard work that put in, what I consider, attention to our search I have not experienced before with an agent. He was also in touch and working with our loan agent and Title company throughout our process. He accompanied us to the Title signing. What I think sets him step above other agents is his sincere, personal interest he takes in his clients. We have purchased and sold many properties. Michael made this one a very easy, seamless, experience for us.

    Michael has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He has been very genuine and helpful throughout the process from house hunting to getting the keys of our house. He introduced us to a lot of people in the process even after purchasing the house. He is always reachable and very accommodating. He is not just our agent but has become a friend in the process. He cares for his clients, and helps them in all possible ways. He is very knowledgeable about real estate and is great at negotiations. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent for buying or selling.
