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.

“How lucky am I to have met Michael Rothstein and to have worked with him, first as a buyer and more recently, as a seller.  I am eager to recommend him to others as I simply can’t imagine feeling more confident and at ease with a broker. He is the real deal—honest, kind, smart as can be and always attuned to his client’s best interests. Michael is a delightful combination of funny, relaxed, focused on details and forward thinking. He ‘gets’ his clients and in what can be a difficult time, helps us be our best and wisest selves.  Never pushy, Michael offers wise guidance and an informed perspective. 

“When I first needed a broker, people told me to interview several people and ask for recommendations. I had met Michael at an open house and felt strongly that I’d come upon the best so why look further.  Throughout all our interactions, I looked back on that decision always grateful that I signed on with Michael without hesitancy. I am certain that no one else could have been more helpful, more understanding, more on top of things and more fun to work with."
