WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US
Earl Heikka
I can't express enough how grateful we were to have such a professional, honest, ambitious and caring person to assist us in such a difficult time. I would highly recomm-end Michael to anyone going thru the difficult probate process, you just won't find any better.
Matthew Barnes
I inherited a property all the way across the country that needed to be sold. Michael's understanding of the market was first rate. He went above and beyond, helping me coordinate details around necessary renovations to get the property to market, and then had the property sold in a couple of weeks. Michael provides a first rate customer experience; I would work with him again without hesitation.
Patricia Stubban
I inherited a property that I live 600 miles away from. It needed some updating and I was afraid I was going to have to sell it "as is" for a very low price. Michael advised that he would manage the repairs and clean up which would allow us to list for top dollar. We listed the property for about 25% higher than we would have received "as is."
Michelle Raggio
Michael was so helpful in handling our probate house sale. He made a difficult situation transpire very smoothly. He was knowledgeable, not pushy or aggressive and calm without being too laid back. He was informed, prepared and had even visited the property before we met, which impressed me. He had done his homework. I would highly recommend Michael Alves for real estate needs.
