"Working with Michael was a pleasure! He is knowledgeable both about neighborhoods in general and also their cultural character, such as a restaurants, museums, art galleries, and other fun things to do in each part of the city. He helped us look at houses in Queen Village, Society Hill, and Old City. He has a great eye for good taste and will help you find the house that is right for your specific style, expectations, and cost constraints. We were even under contract on one house but Michael helped us exit that agreement and simultaneously put an offer in on a house that was ultimately a much better fit for us. Thanks so much, Michael!"

★★★★★
"Michael is not only a consummate professional with thorough, complete knowledge of the Philadelphia region and the real estate ins and outs, he is a genuine person who gives you what you need when you need it. Be it a sympathetic perspective or reality check, he will give you what you need to make great decisions in the home-buying journey. We went through a long search process where our parameters changed multiple times, and he was patient in presenting new things. He then walked us through the closing transactions with such care that by the time we moved into our eventual home, we felt nothing but happiness. "

★★★★★
"We've been working with Michael for a number of years across a few properties, and we have been very pleased with our experience. During the ebb and flows of selling and/or renting a home, he's always provided excellent advice and council to help us make the right decisions. He has keen instincts, always responsive and helpful, and actually makes the process fun. We sold our home in 1 open house and rented another in 1 day. He's effective. "

★★★★★
"My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Michael Garden in buying a new home. He is a very thoughtful and takes great care in pride in his craft. We enjoyed working with Michael because of his character and integrity as a professional and as a person. He does not push you to make a decision. He will however provide you with details to allow you to make decisions that you are comfortable with. He is also very knowledgeable about what to look for within the home when purchasing, and I am sure he does the same when it comes to preparing your home to sell. Michael will walk you through the steps from beginning to end in the process of buying a home. No matter if you are a first-time buyer or buying your third home, buying a home can be very stressful and sometime frustrating, but he is truly on your side throughout. He is a very calm individual which makes you feel much more at ease — and that goes along way when buying a home. We would for sure recommend Michael and his team for any real estate needs to anyone and everyone. "

★★★★★
"I worked with Michael to both buy and sell my property. Michael is supremely knowledgeable regarding the Philadelphia real estate market. He makes the process extremely easy and worked very hard on my behalf. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy or sell in the Philadelphia area."

About Michael
Michael moved to Philadelphia in 2005 after living in NYC for 20 years where he was an art and architectural antique dealer. His introduction into real estate began with space planning and project managing NY galleries and sculpture gardens. Later, he purchased a historic property in Brooklyn, and served as his own GC overseeing a full gut renovation, converting the former commercial building into a home. A few investment properties followed. He quickly realized he had a better understanding of the real estate process than the agents he encountered along the way. His broker agreed and encouraged him to get into real estate.

Michael has a Client First approach to real estate. As each client is unique, coming to understand what is important to his clients going into each transaction, and instilling in them the knowledge they need to make good decisions, are the drivers of his practice.
