★★★★★
Michael is amazing. I would never have been able to sell my grandparents’ home without him. Since I do not live in the state, he was on site to arrange and oversee everything from asbestos remediation to painting the house to cleaning out all of the junk and arranging the estate sale. It took 5 months to get the house ready to go to market and Michael was there every step of the way, including patient communication with elderly members of the family. Once the home was on the market, he had it sold in less than 2 weeks. I am so thankful we found Michael! - Megan (2023)

★★★★★
In life there arises that rare opportunity to collaborate with a person of such integrity, empathy, and professionalism, that only working with that individual is one able to complete a very difficult assignment – Michael Thompson is that person! I was tasked with the very arduous and sensitive job of selling a home my parents had built and a place where my sister and I had been raised. The act of ‘letting go’ of this property proved to be more challenging and emotional than I had thought, but with Michael’s caring, positive, and can-do approach, the whole process was made so much easier for. Michael’s guidance through the process was invaluable. His experience, knowledge of the market, and competence as to how best to prepare the home for sale, were all factors that made this project such a wonderful experience. To work with Michael is to work with a friend! - Lindsay (2023)

★★★★★
Michael fit right in with our large family. He was consistent, thorough and most courteous. He went farther than the extra mile on all aspects of our sale and was attentive to every detail. Michael’s pleasant personality lent to a smooth relationship among all of us siblings. I would love to work with him again! - Pete (2023)

★★★★★
Michael is well respected amongst other agents as I could tell from the open houses as well as those agents who contacted me to schedule showings prior to the time we took offers. He helped me understand the multiple offers we received and gave terrific advice about the pros and cons of each offer. Michael had an excellent sense of how to negotiate top dollar among the offers we received. - Jim (2018)

★★★★★
Michael is experienced, knowledgeable, patient, positive, honest, sensitive, thoughtful, prepared, and prompt. He presents a comprehensive, linear plan for successfully selling a home, and covers all details to a very granular level. He also handles all agent aspects of a sale process himself (as opposed to handing pieces off to a “team member”): He personally represented us at all open houses and was involved in every home inspection, walk-through, and brokers’ open. Michael has a long view of the business and will make recommendations without reservation that aren’t necessarily in his personal best interest–because they are in the clients’ best interest. - Darcy (2016)

★★★★★
Having lived in my home for over 45 years, selling and moving on was not going to be an easy thing for me to do. Having an agent I trusted and felt comfortable with was extremely important to me. Not only did Michael work really hard and give me great advice, but he was a great “hand-holder.” Michael laughs. That made him very comfortable to be around. He made a difficult transition for me, if not easy, at least less sad. I hope to have him around as a friend for a long time to come. - Joan (2012)

★★★★★
We always felt like we were Michael’s only clients. - Lori (2009)

★★★★★
We cannot say enough about your attention to detail and follow through, how you were always there to make sure that painting or some other detail got finished in a timely matter. Your knowledge about the available vendors was superb. Bottom line, the sale was successful, your service, knowledge, and follow through were fantastic, and the experience for us was easy, professional, and actually enjoyable, something we did not expect. We knew shortly after retaining you that we were in good hands and that proved to be the case throughout the process. You really minimized the stress and the worry involved in the sale of our home. - Tom & Nanci (2008)

★★★★★
We have been homeowners before, but Michael’s excellent service was something we had never experienced. Since we are relocating to Boston with my company, I was also working with a relocation company which turned out to be much more challenging than I originally thought it would be. Michael skillfully counseled both us and our relocation company so that we could sell our home with multiple offers and receive top dollar. - Richard (2008)
