Michael's Reviews

Michael handled all the repair, painting, and cleaning of our house prior to putting in on the market. Since we had moved to southern Indiana we could offer him no assistance. He arranged for trustworthy, competent, and inexpensive workmen. If necessary, he would do the job himself.
The final price he got for us was a pleasant surprise. He earned 6 stars from me.

As we approached the possibility of selling a rental property that we rented out for 15 years, we didn't know where to start. We don't live in Omaha and need a full service professional. Mike met us at the property, listened to our needs and developed a plan to sell our home quickly and for top dollar. We made a few minor upgrades to the home based on his recommendations and listed 20k above our expectations and sold above listing in 12 hours!!!
