2017 review: As first-time buyers, Mike walked us through the process with patience and understanding. He explained processes and scenarios thoroughly which gave us extra confidence in the decision-making process. He always made time for questions, concerns or interests and evolved his communication style to the methods that worked best for us–be it text, phone, email, Slack or Dropbox. Mike is friendly, helpful and trustworthy and works hard for his clients. We felt confident he had our best interests in mind throughout the whole process and, each time he said he’d do something, he delivered – a small yet often overlooked and rare quality. He never pushed us to overreach our budget and, in fact, at times gently reminded us of our original wants/needs when things got stressful as they easily can in Seattle’s crazy market. I’m confident that without Mike, there’s no way we would be in our current home and I'd recommend him without hesitation. 2015 review: I've been working with Mike this past year+ as my fiance and I navigate the often overwhelming home-buying process. He took our lack of knowledge in stride and answered (honestly, candidly and simply) every dumb question we asked. Mike listened closely to what we wanted - he proactively suggested homes that might interest us and was receptive to listings we found. He's available and responsive and has been professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy throughout the entire process. I couldn't be happier to be working with him. I'd confidently recommend Mike to others purchasing a home.
