Mike Schwartz -Coldwell Banker

Buying a home is a huge decision. The first thing Mike told me when we met was to think about picking a a real estate agent like I’d pick a long term friendship. Is this person listening to me? Do I click with them? Are they trying to coerce me to go to dinner at a steak house when I told them I was vegan?
Mike is the real deal. He listened to me on budget and not only didn’t send me homes that were outside this limit, he prohibited me from looking at houses outside my price range. He listened to me and heard me on what aspects of the home were important to me — location, style of the home, amenities of the property, and just got me.
Anyone can show you a property — there are a billion websites to look at listings. That’s not the value of a true bad ass realtor. When you finally find the house you want, I mean the house you really really WANT and there are 26 other offers — can this individual get YOU the house? Yeah, mine did.
I learned the real heavy lifting starts at the offer. Mike was attentive and proactive during the looking phase, but then worked his knowledge of the market, of the neighborhoods, and questioned the selling agent to ensure I could write a compelling offer that would be taken seriously. Then he worked his relationships, his personality, and his perseverance to get my offer accepted even when on paper mine may not have been the most obvious choice.
Every step of the way Mike made sure I knew the next steps and broke it down into bite sized chunks. During the entire process he was proactive in reaching out to me to find out how I was doing. He’d call, he’d text, he’d touch base just to check in. That’s a good partner.
Mike did not sell me a house, he helped me buy a home.
I can’t wait to sell my home so I can work with him again. I kid you not. He made this crazy emotional roller-​coaster fun because I knew I had someone trustworthy by my side that wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me.
Meet him, have a cup of coffee and decide for yourself.
