ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… "It was such a genuine pleasure to work with Michael. From the moment we met him he was not only incredibly prepared and professional, but amazingly supportive throughout the whole process. He really takes the time to prepare his clients for what to expect at every stage of the process, both logistically and emotionally! He knows the local area well, in terms of neighbourhood character and house-matching, but also in terms of the local businesses and house-buying ecosystem like lenders and insurance brokers. He was great about giving regular updates for properties we might have been interested in, asking questions to further tailor his search to our needs, and providing advice or context that sometimes gently encouraged us outside of our comfort zones. That said, we never felt pressured by him into making decisions around properties, and fully trusted him to provide the appropriate amount of caution or negative feedback when necessary. We were able to secure a home that met all of our criteria and more, and would not have been able to navigate that nearly half as well if he hadn’t prepared and supported us every step of the way!" - Justin

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… "If you are a homebuyer, you need Michael in your corner. Home buying is generally a high-stress process, and the competitiveness in the Bay area only adds to the chaos. Before meeting Michael, we had worked with three other agents, and all of them had left us overwhelmed with information and often in a state of analysis-paralysis. Michael turned all of that on its head. Our first meeting took an hour an half where Michael, and his team, really took the time to walk us through the process, learn our needs, and answer all our questions -- big or small. Most real estate agents will send you automated, pre-compiled emails with listings, but Michael sent out personally curated lists on Sundays, complete with information on why he thinks a particular house matches OUR needs. Michael is extremely organized, methodical, and has a calm presence -- all highly underrated skills in the world of grand open houses and fast-talking agents who just want to close the deal. If you are in the market and want to avoid buyer's remorse, Michael's your agent." - Karan

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… "Michael did a outstanding job assisting us with the purchase of our single family house. His experience made a big difference on the purchase process. he helped was to negotiate the offer and conter offer." - Paul

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… "When my husband and I started looking for our dream home, we were overwhelmed due to our busy schedules and lack of attention to detail. Michael, our real estate agent, turned out to be more than just an agent; he became a trusted friend. His thoughtfulness, patience, and excellent communication made the whole process enjoyable. He took care of the details we missed and kept us in the loop, making us feel valued and respected. Michael's proactive approach really stood out. He anticipated our needs and smoothly guided us through each step with his expertise. We found our dream home without the stress we expected, and we still turn to Michael for advice on our home renovations. We wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone looking for their perfect home. He's not just an agent; he's a true partner in your home-buying journey and beyond." - Melissa

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜… "I worked with Michael to purchase my very first home and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience from beginning to end. Not only does Michael have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the industry and current market conditions but he possesses exemplary customer service skills. Michael took the time to really understand and learn what I was looking for in a home and he guided me through the process from A to Z. Since this was my first home buying experience, I really needed that hand-holding through each step and I felt more confident and comfortable making decisions when I had such a great resource to ask questions. Even after closing, Michael made sure that any loose ends were tied and everything was perfect before I moved in. I highly recommend working with Michael, any expectation I had was far exceeded and you will be treated like a friend/family rather than a client. Thanks so much for everything Michael! - Darryl
