Michael Burke

Our home was sold by Michael as part of a relocation process. We interviewed two other agents but Michael stood out as the most prepared. He made a very professional presentation of his record and the methodology he would apply to sell our home. During the process he was on top of every detail and had a team that included professional photographer, staging consultant and made some specific low cost cosmetic suggestions to help us get best possible offer. The open house was a success and we received multiple offers for home. Michael was an outstanding professional.

5 stars for market analysis, staging assistance, and initial impressionsWe worked with Janet and Michael for our home sale in the fall of 2019. Janet & Michael excel in their initial impressions. They certainly seem knowledgeable about the area. Their market analysis was right in line with recommendations we got from other realtors, and they provide superb assistance with staging to get the house on the market That, combined with the fact they included a clause in their contract for 100% satisfaction, convinced us to hire them. 2 stars for negotiation skillsWe priced our house at the lowest value of our market analysis for a quick sale. We got a full price offer in two days but Janet and Michael negotiated as if they would not be able to get another. Per realtor advice, we gave up $3500 of excluded items and forfeited the right to have backup buyers (stopped showing the house immediately) in the event things could not be negotiated after the inspection. By the time negotiations ended after the inspection, we found ourselves wishing we were represented by the buyers realtor.1 star for trustworthinessThis is the biggest reason we would never recommend Michael and Janet. We gave Michael specific instructions regarding buyer access to the property on closing day. Simply stated, they were not to have access to the house until the sale was complete (documents signed and recorded). Michael unilaterally gave the buyers access to the house and permission to start moving their belongings onto the property. When questioned on this, he stated the sale was completed earlier than scheduled. Imagine our surprise when, 4 hours later, the closing attorney called to say the buyers were asking for additional money prior to signing the documents and completing the sale. In conclusion, we would not hire these real estate agents again. If the sale had fallen through, we would not have continued to work with them.

Michael is a consummate professional and we would absolutely recommend his services whether buying or selling your home. Whenever we had any questions, from our first meeting through closing, he was always available to answer them. He even brought in a stager to assist with color selections, arranging furniture and generally making the house more appealing to buyers. His knowledge of the market and hard work paid off as our house sold in less than a week with multiple offers, all above asking price!

We had been trying to find a home on our own for over a year. Michael had sold us our first home years prior, but we outgrew it. He was so knowledgeable, helpful and really listened to our needs and wants for our new home. I have recommended him to family and friends and he found us out forever home.
