ZillowVERIFIEDWe hired Mike Mora two years ago to manage our condo in La Jolla. Things went smoothly for about a year, but then communication steadily declined until he stopped responding entirelyaEUR"no replies to emails, texts, or phone calls for months. We sent a formal 30-day cancellation notice which he ignored. Only after we warned of legal action regarding the tenants security deposit did he finally return the fundsaEUR"still with no explanation or acknowledgment. This level of unresponsiveness and disregard for professional obligations is completely unacceptable. He continued to collect management fees despite clearly having checked out and made no effort to inform us or transition the account responsibly. Ghosting your clients is not property managementaEUR"its negligence. We would not recommend Mike Mora to anyone seeking reliable, ethical property management or real estate services.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike helped me on purchasing my first home. I had no idea what to expect coming into the experience and at times it could be pretty stressful but Mike was always able to put my mind at ease. He completely worked around my schedule to look at homes, and gave me an honest assessment of everything we looked at. The only real work I did was pick a place, sign my name (about a million times), and pay. Mike took care of the rest and was even able to get me some money back. I would, and have recommended him to anyone looking for a real stir and look forward to working with him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike helped us find our first home and we couldn't be happier with the experience he provided. Given that we knew very little about the house buying process, Mike took the time (and patience!) to walk us through the entire process; to educate us about the San Diego region and various neighborhoods; and once we found our home, to help us through the offer and closing process.I would recommend Mike to my closest friends and family -- and plan on doing so.

ZillowVERIFIED I give Mike Mora my top recommendation. We purchased a home while stationed in another state - Mike set up a full weekend of showings, executed very timely offers, and completed the *entire* escrow process with us (buyers) being out of state. His access to the market ensured that we were often were the first to tour a property and his responsiveness ensured that we saved every penny on the property that we purchased. We ended getting a home about $40k under the local market based on Mike's ability to sell us as buyers and his ability to finish the escrow quickly and independently - the escrow was a mere 21 days to possession in a complex, remotely-purchased, tenant-occupied sale. He also worked seamlessly with the VA loan process. Further, Mike continued to follow up after possession to track how we were doing.Mike exceeded my expectations for professionalism, responsiveness, and success.

I'm a real estate investor who recently moved investments from northern to southern California. I've worked with many real estate professionals over the years and I'm extremely satisfied with Mike and the services he provides. The biggest benefit is Mike's network of industry professionals that makes him a "one stop shop" when performing transactions. So far, I've used Mike's trusted referrals for lender, home inspection, and 1031 exchange officer. My last three deals have been with Mike and I'm looking forward to the many more to come.

ZillowVERIFIED We were very happy with the services of Mike and the Mora Team with both the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home. Before making the decision to sell, Mike was available to explain the full details of the selling process, provide advice on market trends and best practices to sell, and answer any questions that popped up along the way. Mike was able to get multiple offers for our condo within the first 20 days of listing. Unfortunately, problems arose between our buyers and their financial institution to the result where they needed to back out of the purchase. This was a very stressful time for us because we had already had an offer accepted for our home that was contingent on the sale of our condo. Luckily, Mike was very detailed with his paperwork and were able to collect the deposit the buyers tried to contest. Mike was able to keep us calm by maintaining excellent communication, a calm demeanor, and forming a plan for success. He was able to re-list our condo (after we had already moved out 90% of our belongings) and get us an offer for $10k more than our asking price. At the same time Mike was selling our property to the second buyers, he was working tirelessly to save the purchase of our new home. Prior to the original buyer backing out, Mike was able to find us a great home, in our price range, where we could grow our family for many years to come. Mike was amazing to work with and we would recommend him very highly to anyone interested in buying or selling.

Review for Member: Mike Mora
ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I dreamt of buying our first home this year. In January, my friend/co-worker introduced us to Mike, her high school friend. As luck would have it, Mike also happened to be our neighbor at the time! We instantly connected and started working with him. On a less lucky note, my husband, a Naval Officer, was sent to training in Rhode Island from February to late May. This left the house hunt up to meaEUR|and I know, without a doubt, that I could not have gotten through this process sanely if Mike was not there every step of the way! He set us up with an easy to use website to show us all available listings -we were able to save our favorites, make notes, and filter the search results to narrow the search down to our specific wish list. Mike met with me countless times and was always ready to set up another viewing. He never pressured me to pick one and was even more critical about most of the houses than I was. Mike really invested time learning what I loved, liked, hated, and the things I absolutely had to have. He remembered these things with each house tour and helped keep me on track. It was very comforting to know that he would not let me buy something that he wouldnt be comfortable buying himself. Mike and I had so much fun house hunting that I'm actually a little sad that its over! Once we put an offer in on our house, Mike helped us through the confusing escrow process. He even helped me find contractors for all the little renovation projects I wanted to do and went to the meetings with me! Throughout the whole process, Mike always went above and beyond and I have been singing his praises to anyone who even mentions that they are looking to purchase a home!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike helped my husband and I find and purchase our first home. We were relocating from Los Angeles, and nearly every weekend for months we would come down and house hunt. Mike would go above and beyond by not only showing us homes for sale, but also taking us to local spots in each neighborhood to get a feel for the different areas. We must have looked at 60 houses, Mike genuinely wanted us to love our home, and he worked hard to find our perfect match. We used Mike a second time to also find and buy a rental property. We can't say enough good things about his level of professionalism and knowledge, not to mention that he's just plain fun to spend time with during those long days of house hunting! We look forward to working with him again, and I would highly recommend Mike to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIED I can not say enough good things about Mike Mora. This was my first time selling a residence. He took the time to walk through my condo so it was presentable and go over a timeline of the process. We discussed the "comp's" in the area to reach an agreed upon reasonable sale price. He cared about my input and listened to my concerns. He was always responsive to my phone calls when I had a question and never left a question unanswered. I plan to use Mike Mora for all of my future real estate endeavors.

ZillowVERIFIED It was a pleasure to work with Mike. My wife and I had a very strict set of criteria to work with, and Mike dedicated much of his time over the past twelve months to find "the one" for us. In fact, in this Seller's Market, Mike competed with several other offers to convince the sellers to choose our offer! Mike also has connections to inspectors, builders, financiers, and anything else you will need along the way making it really seem effortless at times. We love our new home in Carlsbad and we're already figuring out the next deal we can make with Mike!

I helped my mom sell her home in San Diego all the way from Colorado (where she lives with me). Mike was a delight to work with! On point with his research on comps and pricing. We had multiple offers on the home within days of it being available. He did a great job working in my mothers interest through out the whole process. We ran into several snags along the road with a lien we didn't know about and nightmares with the utility companies and even a breakin attempt on the empty home. Mike was a wonderful advocate and super supportive through it all, making himself easily available and prompt to return calls and texts, ready to address any questions or concerns. Mike and his team are awesome and I would recommend them to anyone selling or buying in San Diego. I wish him and his team all the best in 2016! - A very satisfied client.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Mora is an ambitious professional who makes customer service synonymous with The Mora Team. My wife and I had a pretty firm list of wants and Mike did six months of research to find us the place of our dreams. It was when escrow started that he really proved his worth. He knew every step of the way, even the ones outside of his responsibility to keep us at ease with the whole process. I promise you wont regret working with Mike.

ZillowVERIFIED Mike worked with me for over a year to find the right house in La Jolla while I was living in Denver. He was wonderful to work with, available to show me all the various neighborhoods, generous with both time and good information, and extremely helpful when it came down to negotiating, inspections, and closing on the house. I could not have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable agent. I have no doubt that he will give each of his clients the same 100% effort that he gave to my highly successful search.

Michael did a great job at finding the right place for my wife and I, and at a fair price. very few trips from Ohio to San Diego. I have to thank Michael for all the hard work and time he spent with my wife and I, I would recommend Michael on any Real-estate venture. Thank you Gene & Kim Clayton

ZillowVERIFIED Thanks to Mike, we sold and closed on our condo in less than one month. We live out of state and were referred to Mike by the Keller Williams Realty where we live. I was a little apprehensive at first because we did not meet in person until the close. Even though we do not live in town, Mike did a fantastic job communicating with us via e-mails, texts and phone calls. He kept us informed and on track with all the paperwork. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of the process. I appreciate Mike's patience and responsiveness to my many questions and concerns. Mike is also very knowledgeable about the San Diego area real estate.I definitely recommend Mike.

ZillowVERIFIED Michael Mora recently helped us to buy our first home and we couldn't be happier! As first time home buyers we were very unfamiliar and nervous about the whole process. Michael took the time to answer all of our questions and support us throughout the entire process. He was quick, knowledgeable, and reliable. He was always willing to go out of his way to show us new properties that came onto the market. He was excellent about communicating with us every step of the way and provided superior customer service. I would highly recommend Michael Mora to anyone looking to buy a home in the San Diego area.

Review for Member: Mike Mora
ZillowVERIFIED I have known Mike personally for a number of years, but when it came time for me to look for my own place, I didn't have much spare time to hunt places down. That's when I contacted him to help me find the right place for. Not only did Mike keep in direct contact with me on a regular basis, he went out of his way to view properties and take notes and photos when I could not. I work in the hospitality industry, so if anyone knows, I have limited time during normal hours and work most weekends therefore I was unable to go to a lot of open houses. Mike's attention to detail and eye for what type of condo I was looking for were spot on. Not only did he use his real estate connections, he utilized his intuition when something felt wrong and edited my selections from there. He readily made himself available and accommodated my wacky schedule, sometimes securing late showings, which in some cases I feel like anyone else wouldn't do. Not only did he find me the perfect place, he checked up to make sure I settled in and that there were no undisclosed issues. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking; his outgoing personality, intuitive qualities, and knowledge of the San Diego area, are spot on. A genuine native San Diegan, Mike did everything he could to make sure I got what I wanted, not just because he was my friend, but because he is passionate about his profession.

ZillowVERIFIED Throughout the years, Michael Mora has continually demonstrated his ability to impress me due to his extremely professional and thoughtful relationship that he has fostered. In all my interactions, with a variety of real estate professionals, Michael has repeatedly proven his superior ability to listen, critically think, and come up with the best course of action for my specific needs. As a native San Diegan, his knowledge of the ever-evolving city is invaluable because he is highly-motivated to come up with a personalized plan that suits my individual interests/concerns as a client. Whether it's providing insights about newly-developing neighborhoods or knowing about where the next hot-spot will be in the city, Michael's commitment to excellence is unsurpassed and does not go unnoticed.

ZillowVERIFIED I have been using Mike Mora for the past few months to find my first home in Pacific Beach. With prices going up so quickly in the past year and multiple offer situations Mike has been great at working around our schedule and showing us homes as soon as they hit the market. In this housing market if you dont see a new listing ASAP it is gone within a few days. He also sat down with us for a buyers consultation to get an extremely detailed view of what we wanted and to set expectations from the get go. Its not like how you see on TV and you just start looking at homes which I came to realize is not the right way of going about it. I have never felt pressured throughout the whole process which would be a big turnoff for me. Mike changed my perspective on residential agents. Mike is a big numbers/stats guy which is great because I wanted to know the local market of Pacific Beach not just all of San Diego. He even broke down pocket neighborhoods and how pricing is in those areas so its geared to exactly the area we want to buy in. He has been very straight with us and fully transparent. I would recommend Mike if you want someone who is reliable, knowledgable and easy to work with. Good luck on your home search!

ZillowVERIFIED Mike Mora was instrumental in helping my wife and I secure another First Class San Diego income property, We've used Mike in the past, and we're always impressed with his knowledge of, not only the local San Diego communities, but also the financing process and his negotiation skills. He always puts our best interest first, something I feel is very difficult to find in a 'commission based' industry. In our experience, Mike not only Sells San Diego, he sells it over and over again. If you're looking to buy or sell in San Diego, Mike Mora's your Guy! Thank you Mike for helping me provide my family with such incredible investment properties!

ZillowVERIFIED In April I purchased my first home and I can honestly say that the experience could not have been better.When I first started working with Mike, he set me up with real time MLS updates to my email, this was key in being able to quickly act on a new listing that caught my eye.I remember waking up on a Saturday morning and seeing a brand new listing on a home that was perfect, I contacted Mike and I was viewing the house that afternoon. I was extremely impressed with Mike's willingness to act quickly on getting our offer in on the home, ours was the first one submitted. To sum everything up, Mike's ability to move fast when necessary sealed the deal on having our offer accepted in this competitive market!Mike kept my best interests in mind, I never felt pushed, it was always about what I wanted. His knowledge of the San Diego area was priceless since I have only been in the area for several years and Mike is a native San Diegan!Mike Mora is a great guy all around and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend him for your home buying needs!

He negotiated with the seller and seller's broker to specifically identify construction and maintenance issues that were troubling to us. Once all the issues were addressed, he was able to close the all cash escrow in a short period of time.He did an excellent job.

ZillowVERIFIED I worked with Mike to find my new home this summer. Being a first time home purchaser/owner, I was a bit nervous about the process (to say the least :)). Upon our first meeting, I knew Mike would be a great fit for me. He listened to exactly what I was looking for and offered up additional insight that I had not yet thought of. I found Mike very attentive, but not pushy and appreciated that. When I was ready to move forward he was extremely professional in putting together an offer and working with the sales agent. He kept in constant communication and always had my best interests in mind. I also found Mike very beneficial throughout the loan process. I found his advice sound and trustworthy. I travel a lot for work and was not always readily available. He was of great help keeping the process moving and being available on my schedule. He always made me feel like a top priority. I've been in my new home for 2 months now and I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Mike to help you as well! Best of luck
