About Mike Raivala

Results-driven Real Estate Professional with 20+ Years of Excellence Since 2003, I've been a dedicated real estate sales professional with RE/MAX, specializing in residential properties and consistently increasing production year over year. My approach combines strategic negotiation, ethical practices, and relentless advocacy to secure the best possible outcomes for my clients. What sets me apart is my commitment to clear, responsive communication across all channels--in person, phone, email, and text--ensuring my clients stay informed throughout every step of their real estate journey. I leverage the latest technology and market insights to keep clients ahead of the curve, empowering them to make confident decisions on life's most significant investment. My military background (U.S. Air Force, 1997-2003) instilled discipline, attention to detail, and a service-first mentality that I bring to every transaction. Those years of seeing the world and building lifelong relationships taught me the value of trust and reliability--qualities my clients depend on.

I highly recommend Mike for your home buying or selling needs! He is so quick to answer questions, provide support, great suggestions for preparing your home to sell! He brought in a great photographer, pre inspection before listing, brought in buyers that were well prepared! My home was priced appropriately and moved so fast! Great experience even during this uncertain time!

Would I recommend Greg? Absolutely! Not only did he get my house sold within a day - but he was very patient and understanding in my home search/buying process. He was always very quick to respond and kept me informed. He made my buying/selling process easy - no pressure.

This is a year late due to misunderstanding that my fiancA(C) was doing the review. My fiancA(C) and I, were new to the real estate world July 2018. We both had never owned a home. Fortunately we were paired with Mike when we wanted to become home owners. He was extremely patient, personable, helpful, and made the stressful process a lot less stressful. He always got back to us with our questions in a timely manner. He kept us updated as listings became available on the market. There was an incident with the sellers taking something that was sold with the house to us, Mike personally wrote a check to cover what we had lost as a result of the sellers action. Mike does not want anyone being taken advantage of and is all around fair. He helped us find the perfect home and made buying a house enjoyable. If the time comes to sell and buy again, no questions asked we will be contacting Mike.

Mike, first off hes the best realtor in the area hands down you dont get any better then Mike. I have used Mike 3 times 2 buys and one sale transaction. His care for his clients, knowledge of the area, knowledge of real estate process, negation skills, fast response time in a tough market, and commitment to you blows my mind away. I would never go to anyone else for a realtor. 8 months 30 plus houses and at least 4 offers. Mike never skipped a beat, or treated us disrespectfully, or lost patience/interest with us. He was spot on with all of his information. People complain about paying commission, well I tell you he was worth every penny in my opinion.
