Testimonials

"I would HIGHLY recommend Mikel! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and I can easily say is the reason that I got my dream home, in the most perfect location. I actually stumbled upon Mikel by accident but since our first interaction he was a huge advocate for me and what I was looking for. His daily emails with houses that met my requirements and budget were a huge help in determining what houses to go visit. At each open house, Mikel gave constructive feedback and really took a vested interest into what I was truly looking for. After only viewing three homes together, Mikel was able to find me an off-market house that fit not only my budget but all my other wants/needs. I was able to make an offer and get the house before it even went to market! n We closed within 3 months and it was such a smooth process, with Mikel advocating for me and being available at all hours and days of the week. I would definitely recommend Mikel as a real estate professional as he is trusting and will take your concerns and ideas to heart

"Mike worked with us for nearly two years to help us persevere through a difficult market to find our dream home. I can't say enough positive things about Mike, honestly. He is extremely responsive to emails, highly knowledgeable, and offers incredible advice. For every showing we had (and we had many) Mike would carefully walk us through the property and offer his observations on what we saw. He would also answer any (truly, any) question with a thoughtful and detailed answer. After each showing he would always ask us, do you want my advice first, or do you want to share your thoughts first? This is just one of the many ways in which Mike supported us and made us feel heard but not inappropriately influenced as we searched for our home. I would highly recommend Mike. We had a phenomenal experience with him!

"Mike helped us with purchasing our first home and we truly couldn't be happier we chose him as our realtor. He was very informative/patient throughout the whole process and was there to answer all of our questions with a quick response. He also didn't let us(anxious new home buyers) just go out and buy the first home we saw, he helped guide us with his impressive experience and knowledge in the field. Ultimately Mike got us to the home of our dreams and we are very thankful for all he did.

South Easton, MA"

"My wife and I were referred to Mike by some trusted friends, and worked with him to find and purchase our first home, which we moved into just last week. I literally couldn't find anything negative to say about our experience with Mike. He is super-humanly responsive, ridiculously knowledgeable about real estate transactions and housing in general, always provides honest feedback, and did a great job of guiding us through the entire process. His constant professionalism gave us great confidence during what can be a stressful and frustrating process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Massachusetts. Show Less

Sterling , MA"

"Cannot say enough of what Mikel was able to do for us during our transaction. As first time buyers, we were especially relieved to have found Mikel online after being unhappy with a previous experience. Responsive, knowledgeable, and was willing to go after whatever was fair as we negotiated through the closing process. This is not to undersell the ease and honesty that he brings to the seemingly endless house viewing process. I understand we were probably not the ideal clients; nervous and uncertain. However, the level of professionalism and passion Mikel brings to the table its easy to see he has your best interests at heart. Show

Weymout, MA"

"I cannot put into words how grateful my husband and I were to have worked with Mike on helping us find our very first home in MA. It was a long couple of months while planning for our wedding at the same time, but Mike made the house hunting process so smoothly for us. He knew a lot about the areas of the South shore that we were interested in looking for a home.

Aside from all the amazing and positive reviews about Mike and his real estate broker background, he was also referred to us by a longtime family friend of mine and we were so very lucky to have found him. From the very beginning, Mike has just been on top of everything. He is very professional, knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and super helpful. He was always available to us whenever we needed to reach out to him with questions or concerns. With every home he has shown us, he made sure to point out everything about the house (basically the ins and outs) which helped us finally decide what type of home was fit for us and within our budget of course. Mike was a very honest individual and with his extensive knowledge and personal experience with his family's business in construction, my husband and I felt that we could trust Mike's judgement on every home we looked at.

As first-time home buyers, Mike confidently guided us in the right direction through the entire home searching and buying process with a big smile. We truly admired his sharp professionalism, fast and responsive communication, attention to detail, and recommendations for home maintenance. Mike is definitely someone special whom my husband and I would recommend to someone who is looking to buy a home! Thanks again for everything, Mike!

Bought a Single Family home in 2019 in Abington, MA."

"Mike was such a pleasure to work with and helped us find our first home in 3 months. He was able to point out a lot of potential issues during open houses and saved us time by avoiding some homes due to his background in construction. We had a lot of questions being first time home buyers and Mike was more than happy to respond via text, calls, emails very quickly. Mike made the entire home buying process less stressful, easier, and very quick. He also has a ton of great recommendations such as inspectors, attorneys, and even helped us with a plumber recommendation in our first week. We felt comfortable trusting Mike with negotiating offers and conditions and he helped us save a ton of money by including conditions to repair parts of the home. Mike is super patient, reliable, and we will recommend him to all our family and friends.Less

Sold a Single Family home in 2019 in Canton, MA."

"Mike helped to sell our home in Stoughton, MA and my wife and I are very happy to have had the pleasure to work with him throughout the entire process from selecting the agent, listing, showings, negotiations and all the way through the closing process.

Mike was always prepared during each stage of the process and was always available for any questions we had. We were pleased to learn he offered a 3D virtual tour as part of our listing and prior to that, one of the experts on his team came to provide us with suggestions on preparing our home for the virtual tour and pictures. This was one of the clear indicators that Mike is a step ahead in real estate and using technologies to his advantage and to help his clients to obtain good value for their home. The outcome of proper advertising techniques resulted in a high volume of interested buyers with asking price offer accepted on the first day of showing.

Sold a Single Family home in 2019 in Stoughton, MA."

"I worked with Mike both on the purchase of my condo in Braintree in 2016 and the sale of it just recently in August 2019. I absolutely recommend him to any prospective home buyer/seller. He is very responsive and happy to take as much time to talk through the process as is needed. Mike made the very complicated process of selling a home seem relatively straightforward. I was able to turn a nice profit on the sale of my property, in large part thanks to his knowledge, negotiation, and hard work on my behalf.Less

Sold a Condo home in 2019 in Braintree, MA."

"Has been pleasure to work with Mike on both my home purchase back in 2015 and condo unit purchase recently in Aug 2019 which was just for investment purpose. How can you go wrong when, your closing date is Aug 31st, 2019 and you are handing over keys to your tenant on Sept 1st, 2019. Entire transaction was very smooth which includes proper pricing of the property, reasonable negotiation based on condition of the property, online-electronic doc signing procedure (saves us lot of time), recommendation of a good attorney, if you don't have one and if it is an investment property, he will help you find tenant quickly. Mike has been phenomenal and I would highly recommend him. Very knowledgeable about real estate business. Will be more than happy to work with him again if I run into buying more real estate.

Bought a Condo home in 2019 in Brockton, MA."

"Mikel handled the sale of our home and he is by far one of the best and most honest realtors I have ever worked with. Mike was super responsive and super helpful through the entire process. He was also so helpful with the strategy. Mike grew up in Milton so he knows the area too. Can't say enough good things about him. If your buying or selling you should really talk to Mike.

Sold a Single Family home in 2019 in Milton, MA."

"We worked with Mike to sell our home and also to purchase a new home on the south shore. We really can't recommend him enough! He is a great guy and a straight shooter and provides you with the information and suggestions you need to get through this process.

We looked at a number of houses with Mike and he was able to identify things about the homes that we never would have noticed or even considered. There were several times where we may have gotten a little too excited about a house, despite some obvious setbacks, and Mike was right there keeping our best interests in the forefront. The idea of selling our house and finding a new one, with two kids, was a daunting task however, Mike really let us do it on our own schedule and was supportive and responsive any time we called on him. He was there every step of the way for us. He always answered every text, call, or email no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work are evident and very appreciated. We truly never felt that he was just trying to sell me a house or close the deal, but rather that he really wanted to find us our forever home. He was always available to answer our questions and help me to make the best decision for our family. He truly works hard for his clients and has his clients best interests at heart. We were extremely happy with our choice to work with Mike!

Bought and sold a home in 2019 in Satucket, East Bridgewater, MA 02333."

"Mike is indisputably the best realtor in MA. I've worked with him for the past 12 years, most recently to sell my home in July 2019. He planned an open house 2 days after it was listed, received multiple offers within hours, and sold it for well above my asking price. His knowledge of the MA real estate market is second to none. His honest and sincere approach to selling makes him trustworthy and credible with buyers and sellers alike. He's well known and respected throughout the state, which makes it easy for him to leverage his relationships to streamline the process. He's attentive, responsive and fast. He went out of his way to make the process easy for me, took care of all the details, and gave me terrific advice which saved me a lot of unnecessary expense. I can't say enough about Mike and I would highly recommend him to anyone. You can't find a better realtor and you'd be at a disadvantage by working with anyone else.

Sold a Condo home in 2019 in Stoughton, MA."

"Mike assisted us with the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home. My wife and I were relative novices in this process and Mike was a consummate professional as he navigated us through the process. Mike was always available to answer our questions and we were never made to feel our concerns or questions were frivolous. Mike's measured approach and reassuring nature really helped ease our minds after a minor hiccup occurred that was completely out of anyone's control. Mike's advice was always sound and borne from his years of experience in both the real estate and home improvement businesses. In short, we always felt like we were Mike's only customers and are glad we chose him. Thanks Mike. Less

Sold a Single Family home in 2019 in North Quincy, Quincy, MA."

"I needed to sell my elderly parent's condo. Mike had good reviews online. I contacted him early in the process. He immediately provided good advice on preparing for the listing. Mike was a huge help in navigating through the process, starting with fixing/cleaning to the closing. He made it easy and less stressful for us since he was extremely responsive, always practical in his advice, demonstrated solid market experience every step of the way, and remained an honest, trustworthy, and effective business partner from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize Mike in the future. The best realtor experience I've ever had. Even after the closing, he made it a point to visit my mom and dad in Assisted Living to deliver the check, thank them for their business, and wish them all the best in their new home.
