Michael helped to change my life. Buying a home is a stressful experience. From the beginning I was plagued with doubt because I didn’t feel prepared enough, I didn’t think I knew enough about the area, so going in to the process I felt a bit unsettled. From the very beginning Michael was very responsive. I ask a lot of questions and communication is very important to me. Michael exceeded my expectations in all areas. He is responsive, he is timely, he is knowledgeable, he is straight forward, but most of all he is a calming presence during a time when you will need it the most. Because of the nature of buying a home in the Northern Virginia area time is not of the essence. He was always willing to work with my schedule and take me to see a home with very little notice because he understands the time constraints. I would filter through all of the listings he sent me and make my decisions on which ones I wanted to view and he would be willing to take me out on really a moment’s notice. He explained the process fully, cradle to the grave, and he was patient through all of my questions. And with my budget not being anywhere near most of the properties in this area, I still felt like a million dollar client working with him. I would recommend Michael 100,000%.
