Mike was incredible to work with. We had a tight timeline to sell our home and we had a tenant in the property. Mike secured multiple buyers and negotiated to get us top dollar and close within the timeframe we needed. My family has been using Mike for years, this was my first experience with him and will only use Mike moving forward. Mike is amazing to work with and I highly recommend!

I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Cole and Riese in the process of selling our condominium in San Jose. Jill and her team worked tirelessly in every aspect of this journey: Expert assessment of market conditions Providing sound options as to whether aEURoeDo nothing and sell as-isaEUR? or aEURoeinvest in remodeling to a limit that would maximize ROIaEUR? We decided to remodel and She was intricately involved in guiding the process with sound advice and decision-making. Guided us through difficult options for: Kitchen cabinets, appliances, countertops. And generally with flooring, carpeting, light fixtures, paint schemes and down to the minute details such as door knobs and kitchen cabinets hardware. Their knowledge and patience throughout was always in display. Great, constant and timely communication at all stages of the process. Pretty much a aEURoeOne Stop ShopaEUR? is the experience we were provided. For this and much more than we have space and time to get into here, we appreciate and value our experience with Cole and Riese and highly recommend them for all your Real Estate needs.

This review is long overdue, as Jill and Michael sold our home back in February. They were fantastic, and I highly recommend them. There were a lot of bumps in the road, none of them the fault of Jill and Michael but rather from our complicated property. They handled everything that came up and truly went above and beyond for us. Their knowledge of anything and everything to do with mountain properties is unparalleled, in my experience. We are really happy with the outcome and will forever be grateful to Michael and Jill.
