"Michael and his team were the calm in the storm of buying a . He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and most important -honest. He took his time to show us comparable properties, research all of our questions and concerns, and we never felt pressured to buy if it wasn't the right timing or fit. I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase in the Orange County area."

"Don't let Michael's low-key, easy going demeanor fool you. He's a consummate professional in every way. Shockingly punctual and coordinated with all of his showings and appointments. Truly answers your calls and would make himself available 24/7. He uses his savvy Tec skills to research, evaluate the market and provide comps, but is willing to take your ideas into consideration when presenting an offer. If you're interested in an area he's not so familiar, he makes sure he becomes familiar! He doesn't discriminate between large and small deals and never makes one feel less important. Michael's unusual in this field as he is candid, discerning, honest and doesn't utilize high-pressure tactics. Great sense of humor! One really needs that in this Real Estate-dog-eat-dog-market AND a difficult, opinionated buyer like me! Michael seems to want an equanimous outcome and his clients Happy. He's young, successful, remarkably humble and simply a stand-up guy you can trust. With all that said, he's simply a pleasure to do business with, in every way."

"My husband and I only had one weekend to find a to rent the day that we met Michael at one of his houses. I can't say enough about Michaels unbelievable effort to make us a priority at the last minute! My husband met him on a Thursday and that night Michael sent us a few listings to review so that he could begin setting up showings for us the following weekend. Michael provides outstanding customer service in a day and age where customer service is all but non-existent. Not only did we find a house by the end of the weekend, but we love the house and area so much that we hope that will be able to buy a house in this area soon! Michael was listening when we told him our needs and wants and he delivered the perfect house to us. You can't go wrong enlisting him as your agent."
