I can’t remember how we were so lucky to meet Mike but it was at least 14 years ago when I was trying to get my parents to move into a ranch style home or condo. He showed them quite a few places over the years. After my father passed away, Mike helped my mother sell a piece of property she owned as well as showing her the occasional ranch or condo that caught her eye. Finally, this summer, we found the perfect place. A condo not far from her home of 55 years. Mike was very instrumental in fine tuning Mom’s offer as there were other offers coming in on the property. After her offer was accepted, he patiently walked us through each step of the closing process and let us know when it was time to have utilities put into Mom’s name and when papers needed to be filed with the townships involved. Then came the hard part, selling Mom’s home. She wasn’t ready for that. We had hoped to have it on the market shortly after she bought the condo but it took more than a month to get it ready to Mom’s standards and listed at a price she wanted. She took Mike’s recommendations to heart of what needed to be done to show the home at it’s best. Mike never pushed her to start the showings even though we knew we were losing the beauty of early fall to show the house. It was worth the wait when Mom received a full price offer on the second day of showing the home. After all these years of working with Mike he feels more like family to us. Just as people keep a financial advisor and a primary doctor on hand, it’s good to know we have Mike there for all our future real estate needs.
