“I worked with Michael to sell a family property that had not been maintained for about 20 years. He had the vision that if fixed up correctly the property would have great value. Michael took control of the clean-out, repair, renovation and staging, including the financing of the work. The house was put on the market for what I thought was a high asking price and we sold it after one weekend for almost $90,000 over the asking price. I could not have been happier. He is hard-working, honest, thorough and has a great sense of humor. This is the third time I’ve worked with Michael and would recommend him without reservation.”
