Michael delivered an exceptional experience to my wife and I when we were purchasing property in an environment that was unfamiliar to us.
He has deep understanding of local environmental and regulations.
He took personal ownership of some of our challenges going beyond the call of duty.
He cares a lot about his clients and going the extra mile to exceed their expectations.

Mike is everything you could want from an agent. An absolute expert in the local market…a creative tactician on making a deal and thinking through strategies…an investor friendly navigator on updates, rental income, location context, etc
And most important, he’s just a really good, likable, integral guy. In spending a few days with him on your property buying or selling journey, you’ll not only get a ton of value but make a friend in the business.
10/10 for Mike

Very happy we got to work with Mike! He educated us on all the local communities, good and bad. He was patient, always got an answer for us. During the sales process, he was very responsive, willing to negotiate our terms and was proactive thru the entire process. Post sale, he was a great resource and helped every time we asked; info, local contractors, property management companies, even helped move/dispose of furniture! If that’s not full service, I don’t know what is. We will use Mike in the future for our next purchase. My wife and I consider Mike a friend now. You will not go wrong working with Mike.
