When Michael stepped through our front door, I was immediately struck by his expertise in what was a hot, yet changing market. He also put me at ease with what felt like a daunting process. Michael told us to focus only on getting the house in order and that he would "handle the rest". When we were approaching the final days before the house went live, he came over and got down and dirty handling last minute issues that he felt would allow the home to show its full potential. We have worked with other Newton brokers, but Michael's outstanding no-nonsense approach, positive attitude and complete attention to our concerns allows him to stand out as one of the very best. 

I've bought and sold several homes over the years and worked with many different agents. I'd seen Michael's name around Newton but I had never worked with him exclusively until this past spring (2024) when it was time for me to downsize. Working with Michael was a terrific experience. He brought me every relevant listing on a daily basis, made himself available to me at any time (including times when I know it was not convenient for him) and never pressured me to pull the trigger. He even continued to show me the new listings in the days after I'd basically decided on a house, which would have meant only more work for him, because he didn't want to risk the chance I might feel any buyer's remorse (which I didn't). That showed me a commitment of service that you don't often see in any industry, and there's not a broker or agent I could recommend more highly than Michael Rothstein.
