Review for Michael K. Markus by Nader T

 In Uncategorized

Where do I start! Not only was this my first experience as a home buyer, I had also just left Washington D.C. where I lived for the last 18 years, to chase a new adventure. My partner and I wanted to make the switch from a busy and stressful big city lifestyle, to a slow, easy, close to nature and water one, in a totally foreign area to us. Enter Michael, our kind, understanding, patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and creative real estate agent. (OK he’s really funny, too, which is VERY helpful when you’re a stressed out and anxious first time home buyer) Michael quickly understood our requirements, budget, and other limitations, and immediately put together a viewing plan. What I realized after we found (and closed on) our DREAM property, is that Michael’s approach, was very smartly planned to educate us about neighborhoods, what our budget could buy, and how the real estate market in Florida works (totally different than D.C., let me tell you). Michael was never pushy, never judging, never imposing, but he also made sure to let us know if we were going down the wrong path. Closing time! Oh my God how stressful that is. Michael was an expert at valuing our property (his estimate came within $5,000 of the official appraisal). He was an excellent negotiator (our first, aggressive but realistic, offer was immediately accepted), and our negotiations after the low appraisal were smooth and fast. Michael’s interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence played a big role in this process. His ability to connect and build a relationship of trust with the sellers’ agent made the process smooth, and his interactions with me helped me stay stress free and focused. Thank you for an amazing experience and for finding us a dream home. Can’t wait for the next one!
