★★★★★
Taylor and his team offered an incredible home selling and buying experience. Their knowledge of market trends and years of experience provided effective guidance leading to smooth transactions. I recommend Taylor wholeheartedly for any real estate needs. -Chris C.

★★★★★
I had an excellent experience with Taylor and his team. Taylor is incredibly knowledgeable about various neighborhoods in the Denver area, and was able to advise my wife and I throughout the full process of buying our first home, from our initial search right up until close.
Taylor always made himself available to answer my incessant questions, and was incredibly patient with us through the process, which we very much appreciated.
Where Taylor truly sets himself apart from other agents (and I work with many agents as a part of my profession) is his experience in developing properties and how that knowledge translates to being a realtor. Taylor was able to speak about the build quality of every home we toured, what to look for in the foundation, what issues were likely to develop in certain homes, how he would recommend remodeling, etc. He also has a deep network of trusted contractors he has been able to recommend to us to help get our new home up to snuff.
In summary, couldn't ask for a better agent or better experience, and I will be referring Taylor to everyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Denver area. -Kalhan K.

★★★★★
My family and I have used Taylor multiple times now for the sale/purchase of homes. He is great to work with and brings brevity to an often times stressful life decision. He communicates well and is supportive during big decisions. Always recommend! -Sara H.

★★★★★
Taylor demonstrated time and again what full service means. When we needed help with a contractor, he had multiple names ready at an instant. He handled all the challenging discussions and negotiated like a seasoned pro. We were extremely happy working with him and his team and would recommend him to anyone. -Kevin A.

★★★★★
Taylor helped us buy/sell our two properties we owned in The Highlands in Denver and knows the details of that neighborhood and all the neighborhoods around Denver very well. He has tradesman to help with any construction, remodels, or check lists on inspection and makes the process seem so easy when we all know how difficult and stressful it can be. His calming demeaner and confidence is second to none and he's a great REALTOR to have you help you through any buying/selling of a home. -Mike G.

★★★★★
Taylor Lawton helped me to find a great property for my 1031 rollover. He helped me through all of the details of purchase and closing. He was always there for quick follow ups and advice. Great service! -Steven M.

★★★★★
Mike Smith is my friend and an amazing realtor and I have been doing business with him since 2012. Mike has a wealth of knowledge in the real estate market. Mike is forthright, professional, and such a down to earth person. When it comes to buying and selling homes in the Denver metro area, he has assisted me and my closest friends with effortless ease. I highly recommend Mike as your realtor and you're likely to gain his friendship! -Kevin B.

★★★★★
Amazing team, best experience! Working with Taylor and his team could not have exceeded my expectations more! Their team did so much -- including helping us prepare for and list our home, doing the necessary repairs and painting, cleaning, and they even some beautiful light staging/interior design to get it in the best shape to list. They were consistently professional and responsive. I loved working with them and highly highly recommend!!!! -Christina P.

★★★★★
Working as an agent on a transaction with Mike and Taylor couldn't have been easier. The communication was top notch and the professionalism and experience was apparent from the beginning. -Stephen P.

★★★★★
I have purchased two homes and sold one with Mike Smith (including one during lock-down in 2020) and cannot say enough a bout the experiences I had. From all the hand-holding he had to do for a nervous first time buyer to the expertise he brought to knowing what to look for and what to steer clear of in a potential home to his knowledge of the Denver real-estate market itself, I was incredibly impressed with all three of the experiences and recommend him every chance I get. I cannot imagine buying or selling a home with anyone other than him in my corner. -Aubrey B.

★★★★★
We have worked with Mike Smith on two home purchases and one home sale. Mike is a great realtor, a professional, with a contractor's eye. He helped us navigate both the buying and selling processes seamlessly. He helped us negotiate a complicated sell/rent back/buy contract that sealed the deal. He understands construction and can help you understand when a remodel was done correctly or if a home has a complicated issue worth avoiding. I can't recommend Mike enough! -Joseph C.

★★★★★
I cannot say enough GREAT things about Mike Smith. He helped me buy my home during one of the hardest times to be a Buyer.
He is wonderful to work with because he listens and does not waste your time (and consider yourself lucky if he is on your side of the negotiating table). Hands down, he is one of the best realtors out there, I highly recommend. -Jen M.

★★★★★
I have worked with Mike for many years both personally and as he has assisted with my family. I highly recommend him for his skill, courtesy and professionalism. -Ed D.

★★★★★
Mike is an amazing realtor!!! Not only did he listen to us about our unique needs, but he also thought outside of the box for our family. His contracting background is especially helpful when looking for a new home. He was patient and great at communicating. We never felt pressured and knew that he was only interested in what would work for us. The inventory for our needs was low, so he really knocked it out of the park when he found our home. His service didn't end once we moved to Denver. He has always been willing to offer recommendations and assist in any way possible. I highly recommend Mike and we will definitely use him when it's time to sell our home. -Lorraine G.

★★★★★
Buying and selling a house last year was as worry-free as it could be due to the expertise, professionalism and friendliness of Mike Smith, a member of the Lawton & Smith Team. Always felt Mike cared as much about my finding just the right spot as I did. Truly an excellent experience. -Karen D.

★★★★★
I would like to thank Mike with Lawton & Smith Real Estate for all his help in our recent home purchase. Mike's promptness, knowledge of the market, strategic mindset, kindness, good energy made a potentially chaotic purchase process simple. I’ve already recommended him to several of my good friends. When I am looking to buy again I will be using Lawton & Smith Real Estate! -Dana D.

★★★★★
I have used Mike Smith for several real estate transactions. Me and my wife have been very pleased with the results that we get from Mike. He gets to know his customers, he gets to know what you're looking for, and he goes out and finds it. Mike will work hard to get you what you want, and he will let you know if he thinks it's going to be a good transaction for you. We have used other Realtors in the past who aren't willing to go the extra steps to get you your new home like Mike Will. -Jeff Z.

★★★★★
I’ve known Mike for 20 plus years and have worked with him directly to sell my home. Mike has very good customer service and follow up and through. He’s honest and will be upfront with you. He has skills that are hard to find the days. I would recommend Mike & Lawton Real estate to anyone who wants to work with someone who will respond timely, treat you well and work in your best interest not his. -Richard K.

★★★★★
I worked with Mike Smith on a somewhat difficult project and Mike was an exceptional partner in achieving success with the sale of the property. -David B.

★★★★★
Whether you are buying a home or investing in additional real estate, Mike is a godsend. He understands every neighborhood in depth, spending time in each area so he knows what he’s talking about firsthand, and isn’t just another part-time realtor reading Denver tourist blogs. He’s patient, thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, all great and necessary characteristics to get you through house hunting in a hot market. But on top of it, he’s a standup human who is honest and kind, and won’t let you buy a dump. He’s also a class A general contractor so he actually knows what he’s talking about. I can’t tell you how important it’s been for me to have someone who I can trust in my corner while making these 6-7 figure decisions. 5/5 stars as a realtor. 6/5 stars as a human for always going above and beyond to take care of his clients. -Oanh M.

★★★★★
Great knowledgeable real estate agent We were out-of-state buyers and Taylor was recommended to us by a friend. He is very knowledgeable about Denver’s neighborhoods and the current market conditions, which was extremely helpful to us. All communication with him was very easy since he responded to all our inquiries / emails / texts right away which we really appreciated. Once we had found our house, he smoothly navigated us through the entire process. Even after the deal had closed, Taylor has continued to be a great resource for recommendations and has offered continued help if we need it during our transition to Denver. We would highly recommend Taylor and his team. -G&S Chase.
