Michael is a great resource for anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the area. He knows what people are looking for and, more importantly, knows the market. He ws instrumental in guiding me through preparing the house, making the right deal and ensuring that the sale was closed within a reasonable time frame. He's a genuine person that doesn't smother you with sales talk. He's very focused on ensuring a good experience for both the buyer and seller. I would recommend him without hesitation. I'm very satisfied with the level of service that I received.

Mike is wonderful! As a first time home aEUR~searcher me and my fiance were constantly being told not to stress or get overwhelmed with the process. I can honestly say you will not have to with Mike as your realtor. Not only did Mike listen to what we wanted but he also made himself available for our non stop questions we had as first time home buyers. Mike is personable, thoughtful and helped me and my fiance understand things we have never encountered before buying our first home. Mike also never gave up when we might have wanted to and kept reassuring that our dream home was out there. And he was right. This process felt so seamless and we can confidently say this home was worth it. We feel so fortunate to have worked with Mike. Whether you are new to searching for a home like us, or not, we would not recommend anymore more!

The moment I met Mike for the first time I knew he was the right man for the job. He showed up extremely prepared and professional and there was no doubt in my mind on who I was going to use to help sell my fathers house. Throughout the whole process he was extremely attentive and responsive to all our questions and concerns. He put us on a path to get the best possible offer for our home within the timeframe we set forth with his flawless advice and recommendations. From the first day I met him to the closing day and even beyond still, he was available for our every need. I will not hesitate at all to recommend him to anyone in need of a real estate agent in the future.

If you're looking for an extremely professional, knowledgeable, communicative agent, look no further Mike is who you want on your side. Mike was a pleasure to work with in the selling of our Father's home. He is very knowledgeable, patient, kind and even humorous. I cant say enough good things about our experience with Mike, he made what is normally a stressful time very easy. I particularly liked the fact that he was present at every showing, and didn't hand off keys to anyone. In the future, if anyone I know is looking to buy/sell Mike is the only person I will recommend
I interviewed Michael Tavernise, as well as agents from two other companies, in April 2021. In July 2022, when my wife and I were finished taking turns getting cold feet about selling our home, we called Michael. He explained his suggested pricing of our house, and outlined the steps we should take (mainly de-cluttering) and not take (cosmetic repairs) before our house could be shown. The house was finally ready to be photographed the last week of August 2022. Michael worked with the photographer, moving furniture around to show our house to its best advantage. After two days of private viewings and a weekend open house, we had twenty offers at or above the asking price. Michael carefully vetted the potential buyers, and we accepted an offer 12% above our asking price. Inspection was a few days later, and our closing went smoothly just two months after the house was first shown. I attribute the painlessness of our house selling to Michael's dedication to his clients, and his attention to detail. We probably weren't the easiest clients to have-among other things we were first time sellers-but Michael consistently showed compassion and grace. I can unequivocally recommend Michael Tavernise as a sellers' agent.
