Emerald Coast Realty - Depoe Bay

Michael was an amazing person to work with from start to finish. He goes above and beyond in looking at all aspects of the home and helped us look beyond the beauty of the home. Things like cliff issues, roof age, leaks, erosion.... all the things that become a headache long after the romance fades :-) Since we are not from Lincoln City, he connected us with handymen, general contractors, and even the city's short-term rental person. This approach and engagement far beyond the financial part is what makes Michael really stand out. On closing day, he welcomed us with some thoughtful gifts that we will definitely use. We look forward to having a drink with him in our home soon.

Selling a completely oceanfront home on the Oregon Coast comes with unique challenges, especially when there are no true comparable sales. Michael Kessinger understood that immediately. From our first meeting, he brought a level of professional, positive energy that truly stood out. He is confident, knowledgeable, and simply a joy to work with. While other agents focused strictly on past numbers and suggested significantly lower pricing, Michael saw the full value of our one-of-a-kind, fully turnkey coastal home. He respected our strategy, supported our reasoning, and brought creative marketing ideas that reflected the uniqueness of the property. His knowledge of the Oregon Coast market is exceptional, and his negotiation skills truly stood out when we encountered a challenging buyer. He remained steady, confident, and strategic throughout the process. We ultimately secured a $1,000,000 cash offer, right where we believed the home belonged. If you are selling on the Oregon Coast, you want Michael in your corner!

Michael was the best person to have working for me. He was very professional, knowledgeable and responsive to all of our needs. He was able to negotiate the price that met our needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone selling and/or buying real estate.

Michael is a wonderful agent. Hes honest, transparent, easy to get along with, truly cares for his clients. He is professional, prompt with communication and also friendly. We were a bit picky with what we were looking for and Michael was patient and helpful throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend!

Look no further, Michael is your real estate agent. He grew up in Newport and knows every square inch of Lincoln County and the Central Oregon Coast like the back of his hand. Hes old enough and experienced enough to understand the real estate industry inside and out, but young enough to bring the energy and tech savviness to stay efficient and responsive throughout the process. I worked with Michael on my recent home purchase, and I felt confident the entire time that I was in good hands and well represented. His advice was spot on, and he was able to negotiate a better deal than I thought was possible. I highly recommend Michael, hes worth it, and hes personable, engaging, and makes the whole experience enjoyable.
