The agent/client relationship with Michael Bondi began when my husband and I were interested in buying a distressed home in Las Vegas. We’ve seen the deals that people can get online if they purchased a home that was in a short sale or foreclosure status, but we did not understand how the process worked. So I went on Zillow to search for a Las Vegas agent specializing in short sales and foreclosures and happened to find Michael Bondi, an agent working in the Summerlin community. So I decided to send him a message based on all the positive reviews raving about him and his expertise. Michael explained the differences and process of each of the 2 distressed property statuses and said that in the current market we were better with a traditional sale. He was right. The home owners usually had more than one outstanding loan on the house and the home buying process was more difficult and would take longer. We were out of the country on a job relocation overseas, so we thought it would be very difficult to shop for a home from far away, but Michael went out of his way to make the experience a comfortable one. He made himself available to us pretty much all the time from 7am to 11pm, on the weekends and from anywhere; even when he was at the grocery store! When we found a house to look at he would go to the house and Skype with us and then he would make a video of the house for us to see every detail. He worked very hard for us. After working with Michael for 2 months, we had found a place to call our home! We have become very good friends with Michael and will definitely turn to him for our future real estate needs!
