Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties

We were moving to California from the Midwest for work. Michael reached out, got all of the requirements that we were looking for, explained the region to us, and then provided us with even information about schools and the different areas that would make sense based on our needs. During our search, he was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, and he helped us through the process of buying in California, mostly while we were elsewhere. He was quick to respond, easy to work with, and definitely had our best interests in mind as he helped us find and negotiate the purchase of our house. Even after the purchase he's helped facilitate updates as we finalize moving in. Michael was great and we'd be happy to work with him again.

We met Michael through my company's relocation coordination service. He was the third of three agents assigned to price our house, and when he came over, my husband and I knew we would be in the best hands with him. He was quick and responsive and did a wonderful job balancing the reality of the market with how much we valued our home. Michael made quick work of getting the house listed and photographed, including getting a great 3D tour set up for the listing. He was able to stage open houses only two weekends after we signed the listing agreement and regularly marketed our house to a wide network of agents. He communicated well with us when showings were happening and continued to work hard for us once we moved out and onto the next chapter. The market was a bit slow this summer, but Michael showed his resolve at getting our house sold by hosting open houses every weekend and fielding our constant worried texts with calm responses. Michael is incredibly friendly and truly cares about getting his sellers and buyers the best possible outcome. I would definitely work with him again in the future!

Relocating to LA was daunting, but Michael made the process smooth. Nothing beats to have an agent that carries 40 years of experience under his belt with rich local LA market knowledge where he made his real estate career. He bought a level of confidence and insights that reduce a lot of our stress. In todays information-rich world, it is easy to get the most updated listing information. The true value of a good agent lies in knowing which properties genuinely fit a clients needs, whether they are fairly priced, and how to navigate complex, competitive offer situations and manage to win. Michael just did those for us. No property is perfect. Michael took time in understanding and digesting our desires, preferences, likes and dislikes. I recall many long-hour calls for laying out criteria and priorities from property features to geographic search areas. Within 8 weeks, he helped us lock down the target property. Then came the competitive-offer situation where Michaels communication and negotiation skills truly shined. We ended up winning with only $5000 above the next bid. What an achievement! As out-of-state buyers, we have limited local connections in LA. Michaels network of proven and trusted professionals, from home inspectors, insurance agents, specialists for pools, geology and termite inspections, made the post-contract process easy. Even after the closing, Michael went out of his way to advise us on home improvement projects and connecting us with reliable contractors for competitive quotes. Hands down, our experience with Michael was both pleasant and highly satisfying. He has not only been an exceptional agent but has also become a friend in Los Angeles. We would not hesitate to work with him again for any future real estate needs.

I just want to thank Michael for making our selling process easy and stress free for us. We had a bad agent before switching over to Michael. The last agent did not care enough, and our house was sitting on the market for over 7 months. After we switched over to Michael, he was able to sell our home less than 3 months in. Working with Michael was an exceptional experience from start to finish for our family. Our family moved out of state, so we were not in California during the selling process. But Michael took care of everything and communicated to us daily. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and keep us informed every step of the way.A A What stood out most was his attention to detail and genuine commitment to our needs. He took the time to understand our goals and worked tirelessly to ensure we achieved the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable real estate professional. We couldn't be happier with the results and would gladly work with him again in the future.

Michael was incredibly helpful from the very beginning. When we first met, he walked me through every single room and showed me exactly how to stage my home to prepare it for the market and demonstrated a strong understanding of the local market when pricing our home to sell. Thanks to his expertise, we had a successful open house (while it was raining) just four days after listing and received multiple offers within seven days. When an issue came up with our first buyer, Michael immediately jumped back into action and worked through our backup offers. Within just a couple of days, we were back under contract. As an expert in relocation, Michael truly understood the stress of selling a home in California while simultaneously trying to buy another one across the country. He was consistently reassuring and confident, letting me know we wouldnt have to compromise on our buying end. Michael was always available, incredibly responsive, and thorough in answering all of my questions. It genuinely felt like he never stopped working. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, especially if youre navigating a relocation.
