Mike was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure we secured the house we bought. He also recommended an outstanding mortgage loan officer. It was a seamless purchase and I couldn’t have been any happier with the whole process. I highly recommend him

Exceptional service, knowledge, genuine care, beyond super responsive , problem solver, …just a few of the amazing attributes I can attach to this realtor and his team who tirelessly took sometimes difficult sets of challenges in selling our home to a successful sale and smooth exit. Great guy/Great realtor.

When my mother and I came to Mike, we were in a really difficult situation and didn’t know where to turn. We were overwhelmed and scared—but Mike immediately gave us hope. He promised he’d do whatever it took to get my mom’s house sold quickly, and he delivered on that promise.
He helped us through everything—from working with attorneys and banks to keeping us constantly informed. His communication was incredible, and he even brought in his team to make sure we had full support.
But what truly set Mike apart was how much he cared. He treated us like family and went above and beyond in ways we’ll never forget. If you’re selling your home, trust me—don’t call anyone else. Mike will get the job done, and he’ll be there for you every step of the way.

I wish I could give Mike more than 5 stars! In a highly competitive market, Mike secured my asking price offer on the initial attempt and negotiated an additional $10,000 back at closing. He made the house hunting process enjoyable and guided me through each step with thorough communication. Mike effectively communicated with all parties. Thanks to him, I found my dream home for myself and my children, and I couldn't be more happier! Thanks Mike for going above and beyond!

My fiancé and I were began looking for a home and reached out to Mike, he was super attentive and flexible to meet us at showing after showing until we found our dream home. He immediately found out what it would take to close the deal and made it happen. In this market having a realtor who knows what questions to ask to get your offer accepted is super important and I truly believe if it wasn’t for his knowledge we would not be in our home today.

Michael is the best person to help you find a place to live in Boston! Coming from out of town, I had no idea how to navigate the Boston market. With Michael's help, we were able to find a place within our budget that ticked all the boxes and more!! Highly recommend him for all of your Boston housing needs!!

Mike took on a very touchy family listing and handled it with the care and attention it required. I’m still shocked at the way he became like part of the family and worked so hard to make sure everything went smoothly! NOT ONLY did we get WELL over asking price, the buyers were so excited to be getting the property as well. THIS SITUATION TURNED INTO A WIN FOR EVERYONE. I WOULD 1000% RECOMMEND MIKE TO BE YOUR SELLING OR BUYING AGENT! THANK YOU!!!

I am genuinely thrilled with the remarkable work that Michael and Guy put into handling my real estate needs. Their level of dedication and expertise is truly commendable. From the outset, they assured me that by following their suggestions, we would achieve outstanding results – and they absolutely delivered.
The open houses they orchestrated were nothing short of spectacular. The energy was palpable, drawing in a large and diverse crowd. Their strategic approach not only created immense interest but also translated into a significant number of offers. What truly astounded me was the selling price they managed to secure, exceeding my initial expectations by a substantial margin.
Throughout the entire process, Michael and Guy maintained the highest level of professionalism. Their attention to detail, effective communication, and commitment to excellence were evident at every stage. It was clear that they were not just focused on closing a deal, but on ensuring that I got the best possible outcome.
If you're in search of realtors who not only make promises but go above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, Michael and Guy are the ones to call. Their deep understanding of the real estate market, coupled with their dedication, sets them apart. I can't emphasize enough how pleased I am with the outcome they achieved for me.
Whenever real estate comes up in conversation, I make it a point to recommend Michael and Guy. Exceptional professionals like them deserve to be recognized and trusted for their ability to turn real estate transactions into extraordinary experiences.

Michael saves the day! We found Michael on accident during a house showing. What a dream come true! When we met Michael, we had already lost bid after bid with a different agent and were completely demoralized. This market is tough for buyers! Michael’s good old fashioned salesmanship and buyership is what you need in your corner to get the home of your dreams without breaking the bank! He will fight for you and genuinely cares! We just closed on our house and we know without Michael it would have never happened! What really stood out from the rest was his ability to connect with the sellers and get to the heart of what both parties need to close the deal. He’s not just a paper pusher but creative and innovative when negotiating. We have recommended him to all our friends and hope to do more business in the future!

I’ve been living in Boston for 7 years and have moved 4 times. Michael was far and away the best broker I’ve ever dealt with. Not only is he personable and friendly, he is lightning fast in responding to listing inquiries to dig into rentals for availability, gives important information on the market and even went on a showing on my behalf while I was away and sent pictures/videos for reference. Since things move so fast, he worked late into the night to help me with the application process while I was out of town, and answered all the questions I had and gave me vital advice along the way. The Boston rental market is ridiculous, stressful and frustrating, but Michael made it manageable and ultimately got me into the apartment I wanted. There are a lot of scumbag brokers out there but he is NOT one of them and earned his brokers fee. 1000% recommend.

I can't say enough about how helpful Michael was during the entire process of finding an apartment in Winthrop, despite the fact that I was 1000+ miles away. He was able to answer every question I had and I never had to wait for than a few minutes for his response, no matter the time of day (or night). While other brokers wouldn't even respond to our inquiries, he was able to find several options for us, and when it came down to deciding, he was able to negotiate a great lease. If you considering buying, selling, or leasing in the Boston area, you are making a big mistake contact anyone other than Mike!

We have worked with Michael for two years running and he has always come through for us in a very quick manner. He’s professional, accommodating, efficient, and a general delight to be around. He’ll go out if his way to find a space that suits you and that you are 100% happy with. He has tons of connections and is very knowledgeable about the market as well. You couldn’t find a better real estate agent, I truly can’t recommend him enough.

My wife and I recently found our dream place and it's all thanks to Michael! I personally do not enjoy the "home hunt" and look at it as a necessary evil. However, I can confidently say that Michael made the entire experience incredible from head-to-toe, and I couldn't be more thankful for his help. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond for us to ensure we received the best deal possible! To summarize, I would highly highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for their next place, and am forever grateful we had the privilege of working with him to find our new place.

Michael is an absolute sweet heart, he went above and beyond to help find the perfect place for me. Each week that I had a listing he’d offer to pick me up and drive me to the properties. He was always very flexible and I felt prioritized throughout the entire process. As a first time homebuyer Michael offered great support and after 2 months of working with him I purchased my first home in August 2021!

Michael helped me and my sister when we were looking to move to Boston after years of suburban life. He was incredibly warm and informative as he showed us the various options around the city. Michael was very open about what he did and didn't know, and he was always willing to reach out to the landlords and proprietors directly when we had questions he could not answer immediately. For anyone looking to find a place in the Boston area, I would recommend reaching out to Michael without any hesitation!

If you are thinking of using a buyers agent, Mike is a great person to work with. Not only is he responsible and professional, but he has a jovial personality that is infectious.

When I chose to work with Mike, I didn't just get a single person I got a team. I happened to know quite little about real estate, so I had lots of questions. When I had a question, I would reach out to Mike, and he would reach back to me in a very timely fashion. If he thought someone else could better answer my question he would connect me to the person that could answer my question.

Another thing I valued when working with Mike is he tried to make the process as easy as possible. For things a simple as dropping off a check, he would go out and drive to pick it up to make sure that the check was delivered on time. He seems to value his work, and wants to be there every step of the way.

When it comes to real estate, he understands time of the essence and makes sure that you meet all your obligations that need to be meet before the closing.

Mike is literally heaven sent... My situation is very unique as is everyone else’s.. Just to elaborate running into mike while apartment searching made my life so much easier... Words can’t explain or show enough appreciation.. First of all he showed us a ton of apartments but we fell in love with a apartment in Stoneham, that had nothing to Do with mike but he extended his service to help us out trough the process and make sure we were treated fairly even if it meant he received WAY less money as a realtor... To make a long story short Mike went above and beyond to get to know our group.. Credit was an issue for us, And mike made us feel like we could get any apartment we wanted and we did.. He is a blessing in disguise... He is living proof that there are Awesome people Still living... P.s he also made the landlord pay the realtor fee he’s amazing....
