TOP AGENT

Hastings, MN
We have used Mike to sell two homes and buy one. You could say we are a return customer! His knowledge is high level and it was reassuring to get his insight and guidance. I have recommended him to multiple people and will continue to do so.
Mike is a great guy and excellent realtor !He showed us many homes to preview and was a good negotiator on the purchase of 3055 Autumn Woods Drive in Chaska.He helped us secure an over asking price purchase price for our home at 4600 W 39th Street in St Louis Park
Mike was a fantastic agent for us. We moved to Minneapolis from out of state and he was an excellent communicator trying to understand and balance our personal with our investment needs and staying in contact on multi-unit homes that fit our desire to live in one unit and rent out the other(s). He helped us find an excellent duplex at a great price, and being a real estate investor himself, has a great network of referrals to help us complete our renovation. Mike has a great feel for how much to improve a property to create the most value for tenants or for a sale in the future. Mike has great knowledge of the neighborhoods in the greater Minneapolis area and his eye for potential issues and how to renovate them were invaluable in our live-in rental property search. He was like a mini-home inspector as we toured houses for their suitability to our needs and budget. He also was a great negotiator during our inspection period since the house needed some work, but he was able to help us get the concessions needed to fix them. Mike is a great agent, a family man and an excellent person to work with, especially if you have any interest in buying real estate as an investment. Wed recommend Mike every day of the week!
We had the pleasure of working with Mike to sell our Shakopee townhome. It was a tough market and we were in a tough position to sell, having bought at the peak of the bubble in 2006. Mike was very responsive and helped us get top dollar for our property; he was willing to staff open houses and made negotiating with the purchaser a breeze. We had to close after moving out of state and he helped us with that process too. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for any buyers or sellers in the Twin Cities.
After meeting with a number of real estate agents that just didn't click with how I work, I met Mike. We worked together for a number of years on several properties already, and his is my go-to guy for Minneapolis real estate. Highly recommend and I know I will work with him in future again.
Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. No pressure to buy and he was very honest and straight forward about issues with places we looked at. Made my first time home purchase very smooth and a great experience. Thanks!
Mike was very friendly and easy to work with, not to mention extremely accommodating in spite of my search area often being all over the map; literally. It took a good length of time before I found a place I was happy with, but Mike was very patient through the process and extremely helpful.
Mike was great to work with! We were first time homebuyers and he was very helpful and reassuring through the whole process. Mike was there to take our phone calls when needed and gave sound advice. He was a good advocate for us. When asked if we liked our realtor, we always say "Mike's the best!"
Mike helped me sell my house and did a wonderful job! He was very knowledgeable and kept me up to date and informed on everything that was happening throughout the entire experience.
Mike has been very helpful for our entire family. He found homes for my wife & I, two daughters & one son. In all instances he has been dedicated, resourceful, responsive and a pleasure to deal with. I would most heartily recommend him as your real estate agent.
Mike was awesome! I was a 1st time home buyer and wanted something specific....I found one I loved and unfortunately someone beat me out and went above my price range. Mike was patient with me and would offer some ideas. He wasn't pushy but kept sending me options and was good if I said yes or no. Then when a new home came on the market in the area that I originally wanted he contacted me the day it hit the market! Now I live there! He made the process easy and simple, I appreciated his helpful and friendly attitude. Truly felt like he was working for me and not a salesman! I would highly recommend Mike!
My husband and I had a really great experience working with Mike! He was dedicated to finding a home for us in the location we desired, while staying within our price range. We went from looking at "tear-downs" to "turn-key" and back again, which not only created a wide variety of properties to review but also took a lot of time. Mike was patient with us and learned about our interests and goals in finding a home. I also should mention, Mike's a nice guy and someone I enjoyed touring homes with rather than other realtors who I met along the way that were incredibly pushy and aggressive.
I was a first time home buyer looking for a very specific property. Mike was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was patient and fun to work with as I was somewhat of a needy client. He went with me to look at many, many properties and I ended up with a house I am in love with. He is an honest, fun, hardworking individual who goes the extra mile to find what you are looking for! I would highly recommend Mike Garbart!
A few years ago we decided to invest in some rental property. We had a very pushy and condescending realtor who only wanted to show us the more expensive homes. She even told us to visit some open houses on our own. Well, good thing we did that because it was at one of these open houses we met Mike and he has been our realtor ever since. He is comfortable to be around and dependable. He showed us what WE wanted to see, even if it meant far less commission for him. Our son also had Mike help him get his first home and had the same wonderful experience.
I first met Mike when I was buying my first home, 10 years ago, he was working an open house at a condo that I was looking at. He was very personable, knowledgeable and cool guy. We hit it off and he became my realtor. Since meeting Mike, I have bought two homes with him. House hunting can be a stressful time, but Mike makes it fun and was ALWAYS available to show my wife and I houses. It even took us 7 years on and off to buy our second home, but Mike was always patient with us and ready to show us new listings whenever we were ready to look. Mike's experience in the real estate industry really shows when he takes you through a home. I enjoyed working with Mike so much, my sister even bought a house with him.
Mike Garbart was my real estate when I was looking for a home back in the fall of 2011. I was very impressed with his professionalism and his knowledge of construction. In looking at homes, he gave me honest input regarding what was good about the homes construction and condition and also areas where I may have some issues in the future. This was most valuable to me. He also listened to me and showed me homes he knew would fit into my future plans and fit my personal needs and life style. I would highly recommend him as your agent and will definitely use him for any future real estate needs I have.
Mike Garbart is very knowledgable and professional. He put forth an extraordinary effort to help me buy my Eagan townhouse in a very desired area. He was very helpful and guided me through the process of buying a bank owned foreclosed townhouse. Highly recommended
Mike did an amazing job finding our family a home that we love. He's super low pressure, and was far more focused on finding the perfect house on our timetable, and not his. We really appreciated that. And he's a great guy. What more can you want in a realtor!
