★★★★★ - "My partner and I were first time home buyers looking for the type of house that almost everyone seems to want: a home with architectural interest but with enough room to make it our own...also a great back yard.  Within a week of working together, Michael found us the perfect spot! We told him that this was the house we wanted and he made sure that we beat out 5 other offers to win the bid!  This was the first and only offer we made on a home and Michael MADE IT HAPPEN.  Despite being a very competitive market with multiple bids, Michael was able to get us the house for under asking and negotiate an additional $25,000 in credits.  Having heard of other friends' horror stories of the competitiveness of the market, we're amazed at what he accomplished.  

In addition to all this, Michael was a great listener from the get-go. Despite being a tough negotiator on our behalf, he guided us through every step with patience and ease - explaining contracts, hiring inspectors, and connecting us with our loan officer - he made sure we were set up for a successful experience. Without hesitation I would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the LA market.  We couldn't be happier.  Thanks Michael!

★★★★★ - "After the pandemic, my husband and I began working from home .  We quickly realized we needed more space.  When we were ready to buy, I had a new work project that started in less than two months, so we had a timeline that needed to move quickly.  Michael understood the urgency of our situation and, after a quick conversation, totally got what we were looking for.  Within days, he had lined up a number of great options within our budget.  He took us through every step of the process so I knew what to expect and went above and beyond - pairing us with inspectors, contractors, and home design experts that could answer all our questions about potential tweaks to the homes we were interested in.  I was most impressed with how Michael handled the home negotiation.  The seller's agent was sending emails that I took as a little intimidating, but Michael was calm throughout the transaction.  He guided us towards getting the credits we were seeking and held firm on a price that we felt was fair.  We ended up buying the home below the initial asking price, despite beating out a number of other buyers for the winning bid.  Working with Michael was an absolute dream, and now my husband and I know we have a real partner for life."
