The sale of my house was quick and painless thanks to Michael. Michael was professional, reliable, and effective in every aspect, but even more importantly to me, he exhibited genuine, caring and support throughout the process. Michaels knowledge of the market conditions and trends was evident at our initial meeting and by the end of that first meeting, I knew he was the right person to sell my home. That decision was only strengthened during the course of the process. His personalized approach and his consideration of my situational constraints, including time and travel, was not only professional, but relieved so much of the stress associated with selling my home. Michael resolved any minor problems that arose during the sale quickly and efficiently. All transactions and communications stayed on track. It was a pleasure working with Michael and I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home. Michael told me at our initial meeting that he would be there for me aEURoeevery step of the way aEURoe and he was! You cant ask for more than that!

Michael was excellent. He responded quickly to texts and emails. He knows about the real estate that is available, is upfront about the condition the homes are in and we would recommend him to anyone.

We decided to sell our home of 20 years to move closer to family and friends Maryland. It was a tough decision, but Michael Oates of Exit Success Realty made the entire process so easy. His knowledge and expertise was evident as he pleasantly answered all of our questions, scheduled private showings, and got us an above asking price contract within the first week! We had to balance this sale with the purchase and settlement of a new build and Michael made it happen with precision and ease. He was extremely professional and made what was a somewhat tough transition for us go smoothly and without a hitch. If you are thinking of selling your home, we highly recommend you reach out to Michael Oates, you will not be disappointed! Thank you for everything Michael. Kevin & Robin

FAQS

1) What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?

I recommend speaking with a lender before you ever begin looking at properties. The lender is the person that decides if a purchase can be made, the price range and the loan type, all very necessary pieces of information so you know what you're looking for.

2) What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?

You may not want to hear this but all agents offer about the same service, with small differences from company to company, regardless of experience. What we're trained to do for our client's to help them sell their home is the same. I recommend choosing the agent based on their attitude and excitement at the time their discussing what they plan to do for you. It's the caring sales agent who's going to jump in and go to bat for their seller's, not necessarily the agent who's been in the business longer.

3) What types of clients have you worked with?

I've worked with all types of client's and the different loan types. First time home buyer's, retiree's, investors and sellers.

4) Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?

I recently was a dual agent and it was a small home in Martinsburg. I was able to help the seller understand the buyer's point of view and the buyer understand the seller's. We were able to work together all the way through settlement and everyone involved was very pleased with the way I handled the entire process.

5) How did you get started in Real Estate?

I graduated with my MBA from Shepherd university in 2011, I went into property management for a few years and then I decided to add real estate to my resume. I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
