ZillowVERIFIED The Mike and Mary Jafarkhani team is hands down the best real estate team I have ever worked with! Before making a decision, I actually interviewed over 30 different agents, so my standards were incredibly high. I am so thrilled and relieved that I finally found Mike and Mary. They are exceptionally professional, highly responsive, and act incredibly fast to get things done. The entire process was smooth and stress-free thanks to their expertise. I will absolutely be recommending them to everyone I know!

ZillowVERIFIED I selected the Mike and Mary Team after carefully comparing them to many competing real estate companies. What got my attention was their highly professional communications and highly experienced performance. I listed my property for sale with the Mike and Mary Team. I was amazed with how smoothly, quickly and easily the process went to final sale and escrow closing. WOW! It was a total JOY to work with Mary, Mike and the Escrow team. Very personable and fun! Please consider asking the Mike and Mary Team to assist you with your real estate needs. You will be very pleased. S/ Michael M.

ZillowVERIFIED We recently sold our house using Mike & Mary Jafarkhani upon the recommendation of a good friend. Although our original plan was to have them manage the property as a lease, the current market conditions especially in rental market convinced me to ask them to list the property for sale instead. Knowing their decades of experience and five-star reputation, we are so glad we made that decision. They did an excellent job throughout the entire transaction. They stayed by our side during a stressful situation with difficult buyers and guided us successfully to the finish line. It was truly a pleasure working with them. Mary was always supportive and open to my suggestions and their extensive knowledge eased our stress during a very difficult real estate market. We will definitely use their services again and recommend this team wholeheartedly to anyone. Their passion, knowledge, and commitment to putting the client's interests first are rare qualities. We are very grateful for their services.

ZillowVERIFIED We cannot say enough great things about Mary and Mike. We have known them for over six years, and during that time they have helped us not only sell our home, but also find and buy our new one. From start to finish, they were professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. Selling and buying a home can be stressful, but Mary and Mike made the entire process smooth and manageable. They were always available to answer our questions, explain every step clearly, and guide us with honesty and expertise. We truly felt that they had our best interests at heart. What sets them apart is that they dont just treat you like a client aEUR" they treat you like family. Their experience, dedication, and support made a huge difference for us, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they have done

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary were as effective as anyone could hope. In a recent sale of my wife & my second home, the sale and closing steps were occurred deliberately and efficiently. We successfully sold our Irvine property at our price and in a short time interval. All the tasks were made easy for us. M&M, and various others through them, were a true dream team.

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Mary and Mike was an absolute privilege. From the moment we entrusted them with selling our home, they demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, dedication, and passion for their craft. We knew selling our home would be a stressful and emotional journey, but Mary and Mike made it completely seamless for our family. What truly amazed us was how quickly they delivered resultsaEUR"our home sold as soon as it was listed!

They handled every interaction with third-party vendors, negotiated pricing with precision, and shielded us from unnecessary stress. They were empathetic, patient, and always available, making us feel supported every step of the way.

Mary and Mike are simply the best!

ZillowVERIFIED We just closed on the sale of our home in Irvine!! My wife and I firmly believe it would have not been possible without Mike and Mary's help. We lived in our beloved home for more than 19 years and had no idea what it truly entailed to, first, find our next dream home, buy it, then get our old house ready to sell, then actually sell it. This has been a learning and emotional time that we really didn't understand before diving in. Mike and Mary understood our needs and our inexperience and walked us through every step of the process with understanding, letting us know what was happening, and how best to tackle each step. No question too small, and they worked with our schedule, never making us feel like we were "bothering them". One thing was evident, we felt like Mike and Mary were on our side from the start and managed to do it like we were family. Experience is everything, and Mike and Mary exemplify what real estate professionals can really do with one of the biggest events in your life. I'm sure all real estate agents have a general understanding of the process of buying and selling homes, but it really means something to work with a team that does it with heart and compassion. Eda and I couldn't imagine the last few months of doing any of this with out Mike and Mary. If you're looking to sell your home and find your next, I couldn't think of a better option than to call Mike and Mary for their help.

ZillowVERIFIED When I'm asked what makes Mike and Mary an extraordinary realtors, I say that they are the perfect balance of "velvet over steel." Mike & Mary are our best experience ever in real estate service from end-to-end.They sold my home in 11 days with multiple offers at a good price.Thoroughly recommended! We admire and appreciate their hard work, patience, and diligence along the way, and most of all, a special thanks to Mary for being one of the most diligently communicative professionals Ive ever worked with.

ZillowVERIFIED It was a delight working with Mary and Mike Jafarkhani. They are true professionals with attention to detail who helped us navigate the current real-estate market. The property we were interested in was highly sought after and I cannot imagine that any other agent would have been able to carry out the deal. They deserve many more stars than 5.

Review for Member: Mike and Mary Team
ZillowVERIFIED Having completed over 50 real estate transactions, I can confidently say that the team of Mike and Mary were far above all other agents I worked with on the sales side. A few things that differentiate them: aEURc Proactive: They attended local open houses and gained a thorough understanding of the local market even before the property was listed. Additionally, their proactive communication with tenants helped us get the property on the market about two weeks sooner than anticipated. aEURc Expert Negotiators: Mike and Mary provided valuable insights into the market and helped us secure a better deal, demonstrating a keen understanding of market dynamics and negotiation strategies. aEURc Attention to Detail: They meticulously managed every aspect of the transaction, ensuring nothing was overlooked and all paperwork was handled flawlessly. Additionally, they brought in professional staging and made repair recommendations that helped us get top dollar. aEURc Open Houses & Broker Previews: They held a broker preview and open houses each weekend the property was on the market. This is far above what most past seller agents have done for me. aEURc Exceptional Communication: They kept me informed at every step, promptly responding to my queries and providing clear, comprehensive updates. aEURc Market Knowledge: Their deep knowledge of the local market helped in accurately pricing properties and identifying the best opportunities. aEURc Client-Centric Approach: They always prioritized my needs and preferences, providing personalized service and invaluable advice tailored to my situation. aEURc Professional Network: Their extensive network of contacts, including inspectors, contractors, and attorneys, facilitated smooth and efficient transactions. aEURc Humble: Although they are top producers, they handled some tasks quickly that might have taken an extra few days to outsource. They changed a smoke detector and Mary consistently organized the staging to present the property in the best light. Overall, Mike and Mary's professionalism, expertise, and dedication made them the best agents I've ever worked with. They are truly in a league of their own.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary - Top Team, as the name suggests really are a "Top" realty firm in Irvine. Irvine housing market is very tough to crack due to very limited supply and huge demand, and we could buy our first home in Irvine just because of Mike and Mary's help competing against the cash offers. Having 35+ yrs of experience they know their job. They could get our multiple offers accepted in such competitive market. Besides being our agents, they always guided us in the right direction. We would have made some terrible mistakes, which we would have regretted later, if they were not there to save us. Thanks again for all your help. Wish you all the success.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary form an exceptional team, characterized by their professionalism and unwavering trustworthiness. From 2014 to 2023, I owned an investment property in Woodbury, and for the past nine years, they diligently managed it on my behalf. They skillfully handled tenant acquisition and adeptly navigated unexpected challenges, sparing me the need to personally attend to the property. When the time came to sell the house, Mike and Mary proved invaluable yet again. They expertly connected me with professionals who executed the renovation, cleaning, and staging of the property to perfection. The caliber of professionals they recommended was outstanding, and their pricing was transparent and fair. In no small part due to Mike and Mary's exceptional management and guidance, my investment property was an unequivocal success. I am immensely grateful for their expertise and dedication.

ZillowVERIFIED I had the pleasure of working with a fantastic Real Estate Agents, Mike and Mary Jafarkhani, who went above and beyond to help me find my dream home. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my preferences and needs, and patiently listened to my concerns and questions. Mike and Mary were incredibly cooperative, nice, and professional throughout the entire process. They have a high level of experience and expertise, which was evident in the way they helped me find the best possible price and financing program, while also ensuring that the seller's needs were met. What really stood out to me was their availability and responsiveness. They were always in touch, even outside of normal business hours, and were happy to answer any questions or concerns I had. Their commitment to helping me find the perfect home was truly admirable. I would highly recommend Mike and Mary to anyone looking for a top-notch realtor who truly cares about their clients.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary & Mike are experts to rely upon. This is our first home purchase and we had loads of questions. They were able to guide us through each and every step patiently and helped in getting our first dream home, even though there were multiple bids. Would highly recommend them as they have the expertise and patience to guide anyone through home buying process. Not to forget, they have very reliable references for mortgage/contractors/handyman or whatever is needed for home improvements.

ZillowVERIFIED What I can say about Mike and Mary Jafarkhani is this. Professional and extremely caring. When it came time to help prep our home for sale they were 100% all in. They made us feel that we could truly invest our trust in them. They're wonderful people that know exactly what needs to be done in their field of real estate. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property in the near future. They're not just good friends now to us but family. From the Vera family, thank you.

ZillowVERIFIED e made two phone calls to list our home. The first agent we called didnt answer his phone until mid day the next day. Mary answered her phone immediately. We had her over the next day and loved her outgoing personality and all the tools she utilizes to sell a home. We gave her a tour of our home and were impressed with her knowledge of the real estate market and of our Woodbury Neighborhood and all of Irvine. The next day she came back and we were ready to sign. She staged our home. All the people, including Mike, Lynn and Kathy who work with Mary are so responsive and great. We must have called Mary and Mike two or three times a day and they were always there for us. Our house sold in one day. We had an unbelievable offer and a backup offer. We cannot believe it happened so fast and that is why if you are in the market to sell your house for the best priceaEUR|hire Mike and Mary. It will be a done deal in no time.

ZillowVERIFIED Mary and Mike helped me purchase a property in south Orange County, and they are indeed star agents. They are responsive and attentive to me as their client. They are very thoughtful and proactive in telling me the things that I didn't think of but should watch out for. They also try to save me cost as much as possible, truly think from buyer's perspective. Before starting to work with Mike and Mary, I spoke with a few other agents with good reviews, and those agents were not as responsive nor patient. Because this is my second home, and we needed to go through more steps, while Mike and Mary took me through this process patiently and thoughtfully, leveraging their expertise and connections to solve problems that appeared unexpectedly. Buying a home is a huge life event, you would want to have a peace of mind and enjoy this experience, which Mary and Mike 100% delivered. They are trustworthy and a long-term resource for me as a client. I would refer any of my connections to work with Mike and Mary if they want to purchase a property in Orange County, and recommend to anyone who are reading this review.

ZillowVERIFIED We engaged with Mike and Mary for the sale of a condo in Irvine. They went above and beyond. From tips around upgrades, to tips around quick and reasonable contractors, to the amazing staging for open house, etc. This transaction particularly stood out also as we ran into interest rate hikes that slowed the market but they stuck to the mission and pushed the transaction through with multiple offers. Mike and Mary make a difference in getting the max $ amount possible for your home.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary did an exceptional job from listing my home, staging it, and all the way to closing escrow. Selling a home is both an emotional and time consuming process. They handle each step professionally and were there to not only answer my questions, but to resolve any issues that would come up. Let me assure you, if you are selling your home, there will always be something that comes up and it won't be 100% smooth, so you want a team on your side that will help you get through it. Mike and Mary did that for me and I will contact them again on my next purchase. Again thank you so much for your hard work, dedication, late hour phone/text conversation and jumping over all hoops to get this process as smooth as possible. Regards, Shawn

ZillowVERIFIED The Mike and Mary Team are professional and trustworthy. I dealt mainly with Mary who was honest and very pleasant to work with. As a team they respond to phone calls, emails and texts quickly. They made us feel at ease during the home buying process, from start to finish. Mary is truly a professional and I would happily & confidently recommend them.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary are THE BEST agents in IRVINE!! If I could give Mike Jafarkhani more than 5 stars I would! Extremely professional, exceptional customer service, honest and EXTREMELY DISCIPLINED as your real estate agent! I recently purchased a condo in Irvine and Mike was instrumental in negotiating the price down to 100K in a hot real estate market where homes are 99.99% sold above asking price. My husband and I are thankful and grateful for Mike's professionalism, experience and insights. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 5 STAR SERVICE!

ZillowVERIFIED I highly recommend Mike and Mary as they are extremely professional, go above and beyond, have a proven record of success and overall their top priority is your best interests. Mike and Mary are a dynamic duo who are always available, transparent throughout the process and communicative. I used Mike and Mary as a seller a few years ago. I first met Mary at an open house and instantly loved her warm and caring personality, and professionalism. I wasnt even a prospective client at the time and even told her I wasnt looking to buy. All the same she treated me kindly and didnt dismiss me. From that point on I knew Mike and Mary were realtors I wanted to work with. When my home was put on the market, Mike and Mary staged my home and it was beyond impressive. The home sold at top dollar. As a buyer in this housing market, it was tough but if you have relators like Mike and Mary they make the process less stressful. They provided sound guidance which I followed because I 100% trust them. I'm forever grateful to have them as my realtors as they helped me navigate to find the perfect home. Thank you Mike and Mary for helping me on this journey, you are absolute gems and worth more than words can say!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary of Re/Max are professional realtors who have been an absolute pleasure to work with. From Day 1 to Closing of our home they provided exceptional services throughout the journey. In spite of COVID related challenges, they did an incredible job staging, marketing, photography, listing, showings and helping us manage all the paperwork making the entire sales cycle a breeze.They even helped us line up handyman, painters, electricians, floor cleaning, window washing services in a single day and at the most reasonable prices.We received 4 offers on our home in 3 days. We ended up selling our home for $60K more than original listing. As our new property is under construction and 6 months away from close, they even negotiated with the buyer to allow us to rent back the property until we close our new home. This was above and beyond.This is a power house couple who works incredibly hard to make sure you get the maximum out of the experience in every aspect. I highly recommend them!

We found Mike and Mary after extensive research and reviews and I am happy to confirm aEUR" they are truly the best agents in the Irvine surrounding area. We interviewed numerous agents and it was clear from our first video meeting that Mary was going to be the right person to help us find our dream home. Not only did they help us find our home, but as first-time home buyers Mike and Mary helped us through every step of the way (terms negotiations, inspection report review, renovation ideas, closing process, etc.) and were always available at any time if we had questions. We will refer Mike and Mary whenever anyone mentions they might be thinking about buying or selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED This is a long overdue review, but better late than never! And I'm also going out of my way to do this review on a computer so you know this is going to be good! :PI interviewed only two agents: (1) an agent a friend recommended, but was not local and (2) the Mike and Mary Jefarkhani & Lynne Wu team. After I met with Mary and Lynne, there was no doubt I would be using their services. The level of experience, especially in the Woodbury/Irvine area, was incomparable as they have sold the most number of homes in the neighborhood!I first reached out to Mary back in summer of 2019, but decided that timing of selling the house was too rushed so we decided to wait until after the new year. Mary followed up in Jan 2020 and kicked off the process. From the very first meeting, Mary and team responded to every one of my questions in a timely manner. They were professional, great at communicating every step of the process, and also patient. They also had great vendor recommendations for any repairs needed! This was unlike the prior agent I had worked with to buy a home - where I felt like I was just another transaction and responses were harder to come by once the offer was accepted by the seller. I never once felt this way with Mike, Mary, and Lynne. From start to finish, I felt like Mike, Mary, and Lynne were truly trying to get us the best offer for our home.This team also offered staging services which transformed my home! I honestly this is what sold my home for $50k more than the same model home one driveway down. Within the first 4 days on the market, we already had several offers and we accepted an offer on I believe day 6 or 7 for above asking price!Once we were in escrow, Lynne helped me with finding a rental in the area. I was set up with an email alert of all rentals that fit my criteria and whenever I was interested in a rental, Lynne would view the property with me. She made the application and move-in process so easy!Lastly, selling my first home was a very sensitive, and private matter for me and my former partner, but Mary was able to be a great listener and emotional support while still maintaining professionalism throughout the whole process.I'm so grateful to have made the right decision to work with the Mike and Mary Team and highly, HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for an agent in the area!

ZillowVERIFIED IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUY OR SELL A HOME IN IRVINE PLEASE READ THIS!!! This review carries a bit of a unique perspective. Albeit lengthy, I hope the details are helpful in truly showing how great Mike and Mary are and why I highly recommend them. In June 2015, as a regular but informed consumer, my wife and I purchased our first home in Woodbury East in Irvine and we had a great experience working with Mike and Mary. They left us with an impression that this would be our realtor for future transactions because the service was that good. Fast forward a year later, and I took a job at Zillow, where I worked with the top agents on the west coast. Having that professional experience at Zillow really opened my eyes on how inconsistent realtors can be and for lack of a better way to explain it - how many realtors are quite simply put, not good at their jobs. Often times, realtors get a one-off where they sell their rich uncles house and all of a sudden theyre an expert in high-end real estate and an expert in that city. WRONG!!! That is not the type of agent you want to represent you. You want a TRUE EXPERT, someone who dominates an area, someone that TRULY has your best interest in mind and a robust track record of deals in that specific city or zip code(s). Mike and Mary are aEURoethe real dealaEUR? as I like to say. Literally every part of the process they demonstrated that they are in fact the expert. With over $230 Million in transactions in Irvine alone, they have sold more properties on my street than many agents (who claim to be experts in the area) have sold in the entire city of Irvine! How do I know this? Well, another area where Mike and Mary separate themselves from the competition is they dont need fluff, they have the actual numbers to back it up. Mary walked me through the MLS portal and brought up transactions not only in my city but in my development and even on my street. The proof is in the numbers! There is no substitute for this kind of experience. Lastly and certainly worth noting, earlier I mentioned Mike and Mary helped my wife and I buy our home 5.5 years ago, this most recent transaction was selling our home and let me say this very clearly, they claim 5 star service, it was 10 stars!!! My wife took a job on the east coast that required relocation, during this COVID pandemic, so more challenges in showing a home etc...because of Mike and Marys experience and reputation, we didnt even have to list our home. When I approached Mike and Mary about selling our home they immediately had a buyer in mind, again because of their reputation and longstanding experience in this area. We did one private showing and 12 hours later we had a formal offer. And if all this wasnt enough, while in escrow we had to evacuate due to the Silverado Fires. That did not even present a hiccup in the process and we still closed right on time! Mike and Mary, we cannot thank you enough!! If youre buying or selling a home in Irvine, youre doing yourself a disservice if you dont hire Mike and Mary!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary are an A+ Team! We appreciated their VIP customer service throughout the process especially during a once in a generation pandemic. They were so very understanding to ensure our safety and interests were always a top priority.Selling your home is more than just a transaction. It ultimately is about people - sellers, buyers, realtors, stagers, escrow, lenders, etc. It takes teamwork!We were very fortunate to work with the Mary and Mike Team!!I definitely recommend working with them.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike are Mary are the absolute BEST! We worked with them to sell our home in Irvine, and from our first contact (through the webpage) they were prompt, professional, and 100% committed to our sale. Not to mention they always put our wants and needs first and made us feel like they valued our relationship and wanted us to be truly happy with what is usually an extremely stressful process. Mike and Mary both worked hard to reduce our stress during the sales process, while working overtime on their end to make sure our listing, showings and sale ran as easily and smoothly as possible. We have worked with other realtors in the past, and never imagined such a pleasant and painless real estate experience existed before we met Mike and Mary. They worked hard for our business, performed on every promise, valued our relationship and earned our deepest thanks. We would work with Mike and Mary again in a heartbeat!

We worked with them to sell our home in Irvine, and from our first contact (through the webpage) they were prompt, professional, and 100% committed to our sale. Not to mention they always put our wants and needs first and made us feel like they valued our relationship and wanted us to be truly happy with what is usually an extremely stressful process. Mike and Mary both worked hard to reduce our stress during the sales process, while working overtime on their end to make sure our listing, showings and sale ran as easily and smoothly as possible. We have worked with other realtors in the past, and never imagined such a pleasant and painless real estate experience existed before we met Mike and Mary. They worked hard for our business, performed on every promise, valued our relationship and earned our deepest thanks. We would work with Mike and Mary again in a heartbeat!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary are awesome! We recently sold our home with Mike and Mary, and we could not imagine better agents than Mike and Mary! Reasons why we recommend them:1. They are both very experienced. They knew the market demand, how to make our home stand out, and how to market our home. This attracted many buyers and offers, way beyond our expectations.2. They are both very responsive. This was our first home sale, and the process is lengthy and involved so we had many questions. Mike and Mary have always responded quickly to our questions and calmed our nerves.3. They provide top-notch service. They are always so friendly when we talk to them. All of their recommendations and decisions had our interest at heart. They guided us through the whole process and updated us on every step of the process.We are very pleased with them and would recommend them to everyone. Thank you Mike and Mary!

ZillowVERIFIED I had been aware of Mike and Mary's successful reputation in the thirteen years I owned my home, I had chosen realtors based on personal reasons twice before and decided to use business reasons this time. I was impressed with how professional and caring they were when I asked them to list my home. They listened, were very hands on, always available to answer questions, had excellent instincts and exceptional follow through. They found the perfect buyer for my home (who even thanked me for selling him my home) and were by my side the whole time with a difficult seller of my new home. Their follow through extended past closing when the seller had removed the negotiated washer, dryer and refrigerator. By the end of moving day, Mary had spearheaded the negotiations to get these items back in place and hooked up at the previous owner's expense. Mike went out of his way after closing to insure that things in my new home were operational solving the garage door opener challenge. I love my new home and couldn't be happier with the whole experience - I highly recommend Mike & Mary!Sharon K

ZillowVERIFIED I recently bought a house through Mike and Mary, they were very professional from start to finish, also very knowledgeable and super helpful. Everything went smooth during the closing process, and they were able to negotiate in my best interests in every aspect. I would recommend them to others.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary did an excellent job as our selling realtors. From the initial meeting to preparing the house for sale to listing to the open house to negotiating the sale to executing during the escrow period, they were responsive, professional, and friendly. They definitely used their considerable marketing techniques and network to bring in buyers.

ZillowVERIFIED This is our second time working with Mike and Mary and we wouldn't think of hiring anyone else as our realtors. From the beginning of the process to the close of escrow, everything was taken care of in a professional, yet personal manner. The rates are fair and the service is second to none. Their negotiating skills helped us get our home, despite of the fact that there were eleven other offers - and they sold our home after only one open house! I would highly recommend Mary and Mike if you are looking for top quality service!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary easily earn FIVE STARS! They are amazing realtors and have been assisting us with purchases and sales for quite a few years now. They, along with their associate Lynne, helped us acquire our replacement home and were able to negotiate a purchase price that was better than we expected. They are all extremely knowledgeable and made sure that our escrow proceeded along smoothly and closed on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is seeking superior service.

ZillowVERIFIED I recently sold my home with the assistance of realtors, Mike and Mary. They say that their #1 priority is to provide clients with 5 Star services. They definitely delivered such service. When they said that they were available to assist or answer questions, they meant it. Furthermore, I truly felt that my best interests were first and foremost. Overall, this was the best, most positive real estate experience that I have had. I highly recommend them to all.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary were a pleasure to work with. They sold our house in Woodbury after the first open house weekend. We selected Mike & Mary due to their continual presence in the Woodbury area. After living in Woodbury for 13 years, we have seen the area grow and change, but the one constant was seeing Mike and Mary's sold signs all over the neighborhood. They delivered on exactly what they said. They were extremely diligent throughout the process and were always (I mean always) available via text for phone. Mike and Mary each have different strengths which makes them a great team. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike and Mary are an amazing team, and they handled our sale with almost unbelievable professionalism. We decided to sell on January 24 and closed escrow on February 19! During that first conversation with Mary, we laid out a dollar amount that we wanted to take away from the sale. When the dust settled, the sale netted a figure within two hundred dollars of that initial figure--but! Since Mary negotiated the sale of several appliances and personal items separately, we came out well ahead of our goal! But none of that is the best part of working with Mike and Mary. Hands down, the best part of working with the Jafarkhani team was the way they guided us through the process and protected our interests at every turn. Mary consistently advised us to make choices to maximize our investment, minimize our exposure, and soothe our frayed nerves. This was our first home sale, but we felt incredibly confident and competent all the way through because we had such knowledgable, responsive guidance. The group text with Mike and Mary became our go-to place for any question or concern, and we never had reason to regret our faith in them. Mary guided us through the marketing phase of the sale; Mike took care of the paperwork and processing through escrow. The whole experience was just...flawless! We looked at a lot of real estate agents before listing--and we met with several face-to-face. There are a lot of great agents out there, but Mike and Mary had local knowledge that we felt just couldn't be beat. In the end, we discovered that they also have a powerful workflow that moved us from listing to closing with what felt like smooth inevitability. Would I recommend them? Absolutely and wholeheartedly, without reservations of any kind.
