"My husband and I had a great experience working with Michael to buy our first home in Richmond! His knowledge of the city of Richmond and his personal perspective as a homeowner and parent were invaluable to navigating a highly competitive market. We communicated often and easily, and we were able to look at many great houses in several neighborhoods during our search. We learned a ton during the process. In the end, Michael found an unlisted off-market house through his professional connections, leading to the purchase of our dream home in The Fan. We highly recommend Michael!"

"Michael was incredibly dedicated throughout our home-buying journey. He made sure to be on top of our needs and went above and beyond, even FaceTiming us during showings when we couldn’t be there in person. Michael was always available to talk through details, giving us a lot of his time and effort. While we had differing opinions on strategies at times, his commitment to helping us find the right home was unwavering, and in the end, we are very happy with our new place. If you’re looking for an agent who will put in the work and make sure you’re taken care of, Michael is a great choice."

“Michael is the BEST, hands down. My husband and I recently bought our first home together, and there was no doubt in our minds about working with Michael. He knows Richmond better than anyone I know, listened to our wants and needs, provided us with great options and advised us every step of the way and we landed the home of our dreams! We asked for his complete honesty along the way and got it, in the best way possible. Being a first time home buyer, I was naturally nervous at times, but he ALWAYS responded quickly and helped us understand everything along the way - helping erase all our worries and fears. We will 110% work with Michael in the future when the time comes.”

“My husband and I had a great experience working with Michael as our Realtor! We've known Michael through friends for years and were glad to know that when we decided to start our home search, he was there to help. He knows the Richmond area very well; is very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible; and brings a lot of enthusiasm and perspective to the home buying experience. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to buy in the Richmond area.
Thank you, Michael, for helping us find our first home! :)”

“I was referred to Michael by a friend, and I would gladly refer him to anyone looking to buy a house in the Richmond and surrounding area. My experience couldn't have been any better (not exaggerating). As a first time home-buyer, I had a lot of questions and he walked me through the process slowly and made it seem easy despite the many steps the process took. We only spent 1 day looking at houses in person. We negotiated a price cut and the house appraised for more than $20,000 from what we paid. Could not believe the eye Michael has for listening to my obscure preferences and finding the best home that checked every box.”
