Let me start this review by saying, I’ve known Michael Tessaro since the third grade, that’s 51 years. In those 51 years, Michael has always been the example of integrity and honesty; a person to be trusted.
My dad passed away coming up on 6 years. My mom fell ill a year and a half ago. She asked to be moved to assisted living because she recognized that she could no longer care for herself. A few months ago, she realized that she would never be able to return to the home she shared with her husband for 45 years. It had to be sold.
Knowing Michael has been in real-estate for 40+ years, we decided to ask him to sell our parents’ home. Hiring Michael was the best decision we could have made. From day one, Michael hit the ground running. He lined up the title company, set up the initial walk through, the inspections, sold the items left in the house, brought the home from the 80’s to 2024, cleaned up the landscape, kept me up to date on all the paper work and behind the scene activities, and the big one, he got the solar panel company’s lien off her home. (Solar companies are a nightmare to work with.)
I know, you might say all this is to be expected from a realtor. I’d say Michael made the whole process stress free. I only stress I had was self-induced.

Simply the Best Agent to work with to sell your home. Michael knows exactly how to make your home the most appealing to prospective buyers. He arranges for all the work to get done that's required to prepare the house for putting on the market. And he's not afraid to roll up his sleeves to do some of the work himself. Michael doesn't waste time getting the house ready to sell. He is very efficient and responsive to what needs to happen next. When he told me he was planning to have the house sold by the end of the week, I thought to myself that he was being a little over optimistic. But he did it!

Michael was also very helpful getting us through all of the paperwork needed to sell a home - as it can be somewhat overwhelming at times. We always felt confident that he was doing everything the right way and in our best interest. There were never any surprises. Things happened just like he said they would. He would send us weekly property reports of houses sold or for sell in our area so we could understand and appreciate the current market behavior. All we can say is you won't be disappointed having Michael representing you. He is a very trustworthy person and we couldn't be happier with his results.

Michael exceeded all expectations! I’ve known Michael personally for many years, but I’d never worked with him as my realtor. From the very beginning and all throughout the process, he was knowledgeable, courteous, thorough, responsive, and professional, among other things. We were in a situation where we needed to decide how much work to put into fixing the house before listing it, and Michael provided us with three options to think about. That was a real benefit and we ended up selecting, in my opinion, the option that provided both speed and an unbelievable return on value. We couldn’t have done any of it without Michael’s vast experience and his ability to work with other people. Thank you so much for all that you did Michael!!!

Old͏ HS friend sells my house for me quickly and for top dollar!
Michael reached out to me on FB after I posted my frustrations about trying to find an agent to list and sell my house for me. I readily chose him as my agent and do NOT regret the decision. Michael is very experienced and made the whole process painless. I sold my house quickly in spite of the housing market quickly dropping due to the economy and rising interest rates!

Michael is the utmost professional and has helped our family with numerous real estate transactions over the last 25+ years in the east and south bay. If he cannot help, he always knows someone who can.

We appreciate his hard work, honesty, and fairness.

Michael went far and above on his efforts to make our house sale a success. He provided us with excellent resources in getting the house ready and up-to-date. The house needed allot of work on getting it ready. We are extremely happy with the results!

Working with Michael was all we could have asked for in our search for our first home.

He was very responsive and was able to coordinate a number of next-day showings for new listings that went online which was vital in such a volatile market.

We greatly benefitted from his knowledge about the entire process and as first time home buyers it was a huge comfort to know we were working with someone that confidently had our interests in mind.

My wife and I absolutely recommend Michael and will reach out to him again for any new purchases in the future.

Michael Tessaro has been our go-to agent for over 20 years. He helped us with our first home when we were just starting out and has helped us with every home sale and purchase since. Michael is extremely knowledgable and never misses any details. He's always very responsive and makes the home buying and selling process seamless and effortless. And when Michael represents you, the deal gets done. There are lots of moving parts in the transaction and he's on top of all of them. He has definitely earned my trust and I strongly recommend him to others.

Michael,
I couldn't have been more pleased working with you during the sale of our home in the midst of the Covid epidemic. It is stressful enough to show a home, but to do so while the pandemic was in full swing took someone with you grace and knowledge. I use those terms purposely because you had to balance the artistic/creative side that my wife's perspective brings to the table as well as my data-centric point of view. You balanced both beautifully and answered all our diverse questions. You kept us and visiting families safe and were clear about visiting expectations. You communicated like a pro, usually responding in the same day. You really made us feel that we were your only client even though you were balancing others. As a member of the state realtor's board (not exactly the right term, but I'm not sure what to call it), you provided clarity on a variety of ever changing policies. It simply felt like every step of the process was being expertly handled by you....I'm pretty hard with expectations and you beat every one! Thank you!

I have been in Real Estate for 30 years and Michael is the smartest, most technologically savvy, hardest working and honest Realtor I know. I give him more than 5 stars.

Michael is an exceptional realtor. Without his guidance and support, our house would not have been sold, let alone for more than 200,000 over asking

There is no one like Michael when it comes to real estate. He is on top of every detail whether you are buying, selling or both. His personal actions have identified issues with homes we wouldn’t have known about without him. I’ve always been supremely impressed with his unflappable demeanor and calm presence. No matter what happens, I know Michael has our best Interests at heart- Always!

A friend with a lot of contacts in the industry recommended Michael to us, and I’m so glad she did. I recommend him to anyone in need. My wife and I have bought and sold many homes in our lifetime, and Michael worked harder and produced better results than anyone we’ve worked with before.

Our rental property in Antioch had become a real challenge, since we lived several states away. Michael stepped up immediately and helped with a sticky tenant transition. He then put us in touch with a great general contractor. The tenant had left us some unhappy surprises, which Michael and his team took in stride. He managed the entire process, helped us decide which updates would make the most difference, verified things were done well, and kept everything moving quickly. They proceeded to quickly do both a great rehab, and a beautiful staging of the property. Throughout that process we received frequent updates and quick responses to questions. This was fantastic service, and so appreciated, given we would otherwise be watching helplessly from afar. And the results were gorgeous.

The property was listed toward the end of summer, with a busy open house the first weekend. Beautiful, professional photos and listings went up on many different online sites. The asking price was a little above online estimates, so I was prepared to negotiate with buyers. However, within a few days we had 3 offers well above the asking price. The buyer we selected had difficulties in closing financing, but again, Michael helped us navigate the short delay. The technicalities of negotiations and closing were painless, as documents were all electronically signed and for the final paperwork, the notary came to us.

I am very happy with the whole transaction. Thanks, man! It’s been a pleasure doing business with you, and I wish you continued success in doing what you so clearly enjoy.

Darrin, and Hyacinth
