"Michael was highly recommended to me by a family member whose lawyer told him to never think about less than the best real estate agent in the area. I was absolutely not disappointed. I started thinking of selling my house of 30 years after losing my husband and had no idea where to start. He was extremely professional, sensitive, knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated every step of the way and sold the house in one day without an open house to buyers. I would full heartedly recommend Michael as your right hand. He Is The Best."

A friend referred us to Michael to manage the sale of the house that generations of our family had called home for the past 40 years. Needless to say, we all had a strong emotional attachment to this beautiful 100+ year old Victorian manse in Brighton. I mention this because Michael recognized that the transition was difficult for us and responded not by pressuring or rushing us, but by giving us information and suggestions that he felt would be most helpful in preparing for the sale. We really appreciated this kind and sensible approach.
