ZillowVERIFIEDMichael made the sale of our childhood home a smooth and easy process. From the moment we decided to list to the moment we closed he was always available to answer our questions. Thank you Mike!

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.

Review for Member: Michael Tavernise
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.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael helped us tremendously when selling our much loved home. He was straight forward and understood the emotions we were feeling. There was humor and calmness throughout the ups and downs of offers and he was always communicating with us no matter day or time. In a short time Michael found the perfect family to love and take care of our home as we did. Thank you Michael

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Tavernise did an excellent job helping us find our first home. Michael helped us navigate the chaotic COVID pandemic real estate market, including by identifying properties that were a good fit for us, researching them, and moving on them quickly. Michael would always take our calls and texts and was in constant communication about our home search. After just a couple of showings, Michael seemed to know what we wanted in a home better than we did. I recommend Michael to anyone looking for a new home on Long Island.

ZillowVERIFIED We couldnt have asked for a better realtor to work with when we sold our home. We encountered a variety of issues outside of everyones control due to COVID-19 and the shutdown of some county offices (which slowed the title process.) Our first buyer also backed out and we were in the process of relocating out of state. Michael handled every curve ball right along side us - and he made the process so much smoother. He is knowledgable, friendly and very professional. We had intended to interview a couple realtors before listing our home, but after meeting him the first time, we knew he was the one to help us. You cant go wrong with him! Thanks, Michael!

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Tavernise exceeded our expectations in every way. From the very first time he walked in our door, he proved to be very knowledgeable and professional with his research in hand. His expertise and availability were invaluable during the process of selling and buying our home. He went above and beyond for us, responding to our countless questions, texts and requests with empathy and enthusiasm. Perhaps most importantly, Michael was always ethical and honest. Even when it could have cost him his well-deserved commission, finding us the right home at a fair price was his priority. In the end, it was no surprise when Michael also impressed our attorney by ensuring that the contracts thoroughly addressed every aspect of our sale/ purchase. We were very lucky to have Michael Tavernise in our corner.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Michael Tavernise and his partner Marie Skarren was wonderful! From our very first meeting we knew this was the team for us. They came prepared and patiently answered all of our questions. My husband and I were so impressed with their knowledge,efficiency and caring nature. We had an offer on our house in weeks and eased through the next few months right up until closing. Michael is a outstanding agent and we would highly recommend him and Marie if you are looking to sell your home or buy a new one!!! We love our new home and could not be happier.

ZillowVERIFIED We contacted Michael for the sale of our home based on professional advice that we received regarding Michael and Mary Ann. Michael guided my family through the sale of our parents? home. We couldn?t have been more satisfied with the process. Michael promptly and politely answered five adults numerous questions involved in the estate sale. He gave excellent guidance regarding the home sale and our competition. Also, his prompt and thorough follow up with Buyer?s mortgage representatives, provided us an understanding that our prospective Buyer?s ability to close the transaction was accurate. I wouldn?t hesitate to work with Michael again or give him anything but the highest recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED We already had a personal relationship with Michael and we had spoken from time to time about our real estate desires. When we finally decided that we were ready to make a move it was natural to enlist Michaels services. He assisted us in executing two smooth and efficient transactions in a short period of time. As far as listing our home for sale, he listened to our requests; was fully accommodating in terms of our schedule; and was comfortable enough with us to make suggestions without being pushy or insistent about anything we did or didnt want to do. There is no question that we would utilize Michaels services the next time and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable expert in the industry.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is an absolutely phenomenal agent. He helped us find the perfect house in Merrick.Michael went above and beyond in every capacity.Local Knowledge - Michael knows Merrick and the surrounding towns (Bellmore, Wantagh, etc) extremely well. He understand the inventory, current market and guides you in the right direction. Process Expertise - The process from start to finish when buying a home can seem daunting. Michael eliminates those concerns right off the bat. He answers all your questions, updates you as the process goes along and give you recommendations to help build the right team -- lawyers, inspectors, etc.Responsiveness - Its immediate. Always getting back to us via text with answers to our questions or about current available homes worth seeing, etc. Negotiation Skills - We bought in a low inventory market so no real negotiating took place. He was honest about the price points of homes though and what were good offers to make. We certainly never felt like we were offering too much under Michaels supervision and guidance.Overal,, Michael is a rockstar and you cant go wrong with him. I will be recommending him to anyone I know looking for a house in Long Island.

ZillowVERIFIED When we decided to sell our home we interviewed several realtors. Michael was above and beyond what we were looking for. He was honest, hard working, returned calls/texts quickly (even while on vacation). He is a true professional and was easy to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael is the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with. He was very thorough with his research. What I really liked was when I would send him some potential homes, he would immediately respond back with detailed information such as where the house was located within the block, if it was located on a busy street, etc. I felt confident in him and was impressed that he knew so much about a lot of areas on Long Island. Michael is kind, sincere, smart and funny. He is the only real estate agent I would work with and would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
