"Mike did an amazing job helping us purchase our first house! He was extremely informative, knowledgeable, and thorough. Once we zeroed in on the house we wanted he recommended an inspector who was extremely thorough and was there on inspection day telling us exactly what the inspector was looking at and WHY he was looking at it. Not to mention his kind, caring, and energetic personality that made us feel a lot more comfortable with our decision. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for an honest, transparent, and most importantly thorough realtor. 10/10 will work with Mike on our next investment!”

"Mike P. was an amazing human and realtor to work with. I can’t go into enough detail for how great he was. Extremely responsive, informative, and knowledgeable. His years of experience are noticeable!!! My husband and I got an accepted offer on a dream home only two weeks after our initial conversation! He got us into any home we wanted to see, and as first time home buyers he had such good information and support for us. Made the process easy, enjoyable, and getting those keys the best experience in this tough market. Definitely plan to work with him again when the time comes around, if you need a realtor this is your guy. Even the weber group was fantastic, took the time to send up all the welcome home information for the area so I knew who to call to set everything up. Will be recommending.”

★★★★★
"Michael was simply fantastic -- he helped us every step of the way with buying our first home. When we started the process, we didn't know the first thing about real estate, but Michael was a really great teacher and took the time to explain everything to us in detail. By the end of our home search, we knew exactly what we were looking for in a house and got the perfect house that fit all of our criteria. He's also just a fun guy. We mentioned we hated squeaky floors, and he made it a point to get to home showings early so he could hop around and judge the squeakiness of the wood floors. That's commitment!”

★★★★★

Thanks!”

★★★★★
"Michael is extremely attentive and always on the ball. He knows the area well and will not sugar coat his answers or waste time when dealing with you.

My wife and I always looked forward to seeing and hearing from him and would highly recommend his services.”

He made the whole process smooth (and fun!), worked with the inspectors and lenders, and really went above and beyond. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★
"Mike was absolutely phenomenal! He came highly recommended and lived up to every expectation we had in a realtor. He never once pressured or pushed us in any one direction and allowed us to take our time finding our perfect house. We worked with Mike close to year to find our house seeing sometimes multiple homes a week and every home we looked at with Mike we learned something new with his multiple years of expertise. We will certainly be using Mike for all of our future realtor needs!”

★★★★★
"Michael helped me sell my 2nd home and purchase my 3rd, and we closed both sales on the same day. He is hands down the best realtor that I have ever worked with. He speaks his mind and will not lead you astray, not only will he point out the good features as you walk through a house but he will point out the stuff that you tell him you didn't want to insure that you don't make a bad purchase. That's right, he is a realtor who listens to your inputs to show you homes you actually want to see and not one of the sales driven realtors who are only pushing properties that they need to sell. He'll show you the market trends and advise home prices as well to remove some of the pressure of that big sale. If you don't mind some occasional curse words, you'll find a realtor makes the home buying process fun, rewarding, and well organized!”

★★★★★
"I met Michael through my daughter. He helped her find her amazing property. From day one Michael was attentive, patient. I started asking about one specific place but gave him the wrong name and address. We met and I told him about my mistake and he didn’t make me feel silly. We then went to the right place and that was one of the most amazing experiences for me. Michael knew everything about the properties to the smallest details. And when I found my house he made the whole process easy. When we met with some problems he just solved everything or knew how to find the right person to solve it. I have bought other properties before but I have never had a realtor like Michael. He is a great professional.”

★★★★★
"We met and dealt with several agents before we started working with Mike. After we met him at one of his listings, we knew we should work with him. I'm so glad that we did. Mike sent us better listings than all the other agents, and handled showings better than other agents too. He is detail oriented, always prepared, always on time, and always happy to see you. I'm so glad we had Mike when it was time to negotiate and ask the tough the questions. Mike is always in your corner, and respects you and what you want. Work with Mike, and in my opinion, you'll end up buying a better property, getting a better deal, and having a much smoother process. When it's time for us to sell, Mike is sure to come through for us and I'll most certainly be contacting him.”

★★★★★
"Because we moved from Illinois to Wisconsin, we didn’t know too much about the area but Mike was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in helping us find a home that fits our style and everything we were looking for in a home. He was very responsive and made sure to always make time for us when we were viewing houses. Overall we are very happy and will be using him to sell and buy our future home.”

★★★★★
"Let me be perfectly clear when I say I could not have asked for a better buying agent. I could write a book about how great Mike was to work with. There were several time when I would text mike late at night or early int the morning and he would respond immediately. He was always extremely helpful, polite, and responsive. He truely had my best interests in mind. Mike must have shown me close to 20 houses, but I never felt like he was frustrated or inconvenienced at all. He wanted me to find the home that was right for me. I would message him about a few properties and he would get things set up quickly. He was never pushy and understood what I needed in a property. Mike was always very respectful and professional, but never fake. He was a real person, with great knowledge of the real estate market and processes. There was even a point in the my home buying process when the bank I had originally offered on my house with, messed up and was not working for me a week from closing. Within an hour mike found me a new lender that not only saved the deal, but also saved me money! He worked on his weekend off to make sure the deal happened for me and negotiated an extra few days for closing. If I ever sell, Mike will be my listing agent. (His team also offers free use of their moving truck once you are ready to move in!) I cannot express how thankful I am to have had Mike as my agent. He was always reliable and dedicated, efficient and knowledgeable, respectful and kind. By the end of my home buying process, I truly felt as if Mike was a close friend of mine and would recommend him to absolutely anyone.”

★★★★★
"Michael will get you what you want and always keep your interest as top priority. On short notice, he made himself available on multiple occasion to assure we got what we wanted in this crazy market. I would have no problem recommending him to friends and family.”

★★★★★
"Mike was amazing. He had a great sense of what we wanted just by getting to know us. As we went through the process, he never forgot what was important to us. We always felt top priority for Mike, I mean the guy took my call on his approach to the green. That screams customer service to me. Add all that to his experience and expertise and you have my favorite agent used to date.”

★★★★★
"Michael’s communication skills, scheduling availability and knowledge of the entire home-buying process were impeccable. He certainly helped guide us through our first home purchase with minimal hiccups or concerns. He helped us negotiate when necessary and also helped with ballpark figures on making modifications/improvements to the homes he showed us. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and my parents intend to use him to help sell their current home and buy their next.”

We weren't 100% about buying a house at the time but Michael asked me what we were looking for and continued to email me houses until we found one that worked for us.

★★★★★
"We can't say enough about the wonderful service that we received from Mike. He is a great guy that went above and beyond our expectations from a realtor. If you asked him, he did exactly what everyone SHOULD expect from their realtor! Mike was always there doing whatever needed to be done for the successful sale of our house as well as the purchase of another. Mike tirelessly took us through one house after another until we could picture our lives in the house we ultimately ended up with!!

I would and will recommend Mike to anyone looking to move and/or sell their house!!”

Quick with getting all the forms out for signatures, keeps track of what is going on to keep his clients updated. Mike goes to the nth degree for all of his clients. Should I ever have to do it all over again I wouldn't want to do it without Mike's assistance. He didn't find me just a place to live, he found me my home. I have recommended Mike to several people including my son who is using his real estate services to find them their new home.”

Positive attitude and good advice.”

He always brings great energy to a showing and Michael does a great job of finding the best features of a house in every room.

He even agreed to stop for bloodies between the time i sold my house in the morning and bought my house at noon!”

After our first meeting, at a place we had just requested a showing of through an online form, we decided to stick with Mike through the process. He was quick to set up showings when I found him listings that my boyfriend and I both liked. When we found the house we eventually bought, he said to us 'This is it. This is the first house you've sat down in, the first time I've seen that 'Home' look in your eyes'. He was right! Thanks Mike!”

Mike is incredibly personable, honest, and makes shopping for and buying a home a much easier and more comfortable process than it would likely be with others. Perhaps his most impressive skill is his responsiveness, not only in terms of time between a sent message and reply, but his thoroughness and speed at scheduling. I would recommend Mike with great enthusiasm to anyone seeking assistance in home buying.”

I was told it's a lot of work buying a house, (which it is) but he made it as smooth as possible to the end. I won't use anyone else. He will go the extra mile for you to make as easy as possible. If I could give better than 5 stars I would, and that is not easy from me. Thank you Michael for everything you did for us and YOU WILL BE the guy my family and I use.”

It was all based on trust. He did an excellent job with us and he always looked out for our best interest.”

★★★★★
"I am in the process of closing on a duplex in the Madison area and couldn't be happier that I had Mike through the process. He was very active setting up tours and looking through listings to find exactly what I was looking for. When I had questions, Mike usually responded in minutes, regardless of what time it was. I'm very happy with Mike on this purchase and it's safe to say that my next house will be working with Mike as well.”

Since we were first time home buyers, we had a lot of questions which he was always available to answer, usually responding to emails within an hour or two.

I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an honest, straight forward, and helpful realtor! Thank you Michael!”

★★★★★
"Mike has been amazing through this whole process! We are very much first time home buyers who's came in to this with little knowledge on how to buy a house. He's been there every step of the way and gone above and beyond. If your looking for someone to make one of the most stressful processes seem like a breeze talk to Mike, he's got you covered.”
