Michael Swift

After interviewing three different realtors I selected Michael and his team. From the very beginning Michael was responsive, following up with us after a couple of weeks even though we were in the state of "we want to move but we're not sure when". He made suggestions of updating certain features in our house and they were spot on. Keeping in touch with us for a few months and surprising him when we spontaneously bought another house (thankfully we'd taken his suggestions and already made the improvements), he and his team swooped in, did their magic with staging and marketing and we had multiple offers in less than a week. He's a strong negotiator, teaching us that the highest offer isn't always the best offer. The entire process of marketing, negotiating, and closing couldn't have been smoother. And on top of it, he's a really nice person. I'd use Michael and his team again in a heartbeat.

Michael was patient and professional. He worked with us like a partner. Michael showed care and paid special attention to details. Michael was always responsive over phone, text and email. Michael ensured a smooth transaction and transfer of keys. I highly recommend Swift team to all buyers.

Michael has a very high real estate acumen. He understands market conditions, house layout/architecture, condition of the house, appliances and provides a holistic assessment of the house value both to buyer and seller. Michael has established his brand in real estate. Michael's assets are his knowledge, honesty, credibility, reliability and trust. We bought a house in Pleasanton in a high booming seller's market and he used all the above skills to get us the house which we now call it home for the right price along with an year long house and appliances warranty after providing all the necessary TLCs that were needed for the home.Michael is now part of our family and we never missed a day thanking Michael for getting us this wonderful home!

Last spring, we found our dream home in our favorite neighborhood, but in an impossibly hot market. Having worked with Michael before, I knew he was our best shot, as he knows this market very well and is an excellent negotiator. He told us exactly what we needed to do to get it, and with our blessing, he put the offer together for us.Eighteen offers came in on the house, and ours took it! We were ecstatic.Then we had to sell our old place, which can be an extremely stressful process. Michael and Erika did an amazing job handling inspections, minor repairs, staging and showing our house, 3D tour, the works. They made it very easy for us, and before we knew it we had offers way above what we were expecting in our hands.Beyond all that, Michael is just a great guy to work with -- friendly, extremely responsive, always on top of things, proactive about solving any issues that arise. I highly recommend him!

Michael and the swift team were awesome. Selling a house is usually extremely stressful, but Michael and the team from the beginning to the end made that stress go away. Michael was there from the start and had a vision of what the house could look like to get a great price. Michael continued to be in touch through the whole project and any questions or concerns, he was there. I'm so glad I put the trust in Michael and his team.Michael brought in a fantastic team to organize and coordinate the work to be done and the house looked fabulous at the end which wouldnt have been that awesome without the trust in Michael and the team.I would highly recommend Michael and his team to handle your house sale.Everyone was so easy to work with. Thank You all.

It was such a pleasure to work with Michael throughout our process of selling our home and purchasing a new home. It was my first time going through this process, and I was heavily pregnant throughout the process (irritable, impatient, nervous about beingHomeless with a new baby etc).Michael was very communicative throughout the process! In this market it was really hard to make sensible decisions, and Michael was very knowledgeable and diligent. When it comes to the sale of our homes, he did multiple visits to our place before we even listed as we consulted with him on some minor upgrades we were doing, he spent time scoping out the market so that we could have a realistic listing price that was justifiable based on the market and also allowed us to have a quick process. The stagers and other vendors Michael used were also professional and made the entire experience easy.In regards to buying our new home, again,We found Michael to be communicative and available. He was always available to us (there were many weekend calls, and 11pm offer writing conversations). He also helped us stay within our budget and not overpay for a property. He kept a aEUR~cool head about us.

We met Michael a few years back, we reached out to him as we were contemplating selling our bay area home. From the first phone conversation and then in person meeting we knew he was our man! We decided to hold off on selling our home at that time. Fast forward to June 2021, we were ready to place our home on the market. We had no hesitation as to who we wanted to work with, we reached out to Michael and do not regret it! Michael and his team took care of everything. My favorite part about working with Michael is his honesty and transparency. You are kept in the loop and decision making at all times, plus Michael was always a phone call away, at any time. Communication and transparency were key for us as we live out of state. Our home was on the market less than a week, we got an offer way over asking price and closed within 30 days. I dont think the process of selling our home could have gone any smoother. Michael and his team are fantastic, I would recommend Michael to anyone!

Julia Pritchard and the Michael team have been helping us finding houses during the toughest time of the housing market 2021. Their team was able quickly to close a deal for us. Julia had been diligently and patiently helping us throughout the process. She constantly gave us her honest options despite our objection in perspective. She had great memory on what kind of taste, environment, and need that we wanted for our home. She was responsible, disciplined, and punctuate. She also has great knowledge and insight about structure, architecture, and landscaping of houses. She can remember what kind of trees that my wife and I liked. She was able to spot out problems which existed in the houses and helped to avoid buying a problematic home. Overall, Julia was an easy person to work with and was always pleasant and patient when she was with us. She always remained calm during the experience of the whole transaction. My wife and I were impressed about the quality of her kindness and patience. If I were to buy a house again, I would surely choose Julia Prichard as our realtor agent.

Late last year, my father passed away leaving my childhood home to me. I did not live in the area anymore, and of greater concern was that there was still a hefty sized mortgage remaining. So, I made the decision to put the house up for sale. I set out looking for a real estate agent who was someone I felt comfortable with, who would answer all my questions, and who could take the ball and run with it. I interviewed multiple realtors, but it was Michael Swift who left a great impression on me. After taking an initial look at the house, Michael came up with several options for selling the house. The house really did require some attention because it was basically neglected for months. I ultimately went along with his suggested game plan of repainting the house, removing the popcorn ceiling, installing recessed LED lighting, and updating bathrooms. Once the decision was made, Michael and his team got the ball rolling setting up contractors to perform work on the house. The team kept me updated every step of the way. I liked the fact they always offered me multiple options for the work. This was my first time selling a home, and I thought it would be a stressful ordeal. Honestly, the hardest thing of the entire process was moving my Dads belongings out of the house. I bet the Swift team could have even helped me with that if I had asked.After the updates were made, and the house was cleaned and staged, the pictures were posted on multiple websites. The coolest part was the virtual tour. I spent some time virtually walking through the house and reliving old memories of the good times I spent there. The house looked so good that I even had second thoughts of selling! It was no wonder that there were so many people interested in viewing the house. Within a few days of the open house, there were multiple offers, and Michael was able to negotiate a selling price higher than we had initially estimated. Needless to say, you cant go wrong with Michael Swift and the rest of Team Swift. You are all MVPs in my book, and I cant say thank you enough!

I have known Michael for a really long time. He has helped my husband and I navigate the real estate world, first by advising us to rent our condo out instead of selling it when the market was low. He put us in touch with a really good property management company that took over all the little details of renting a condo out. He then gave us advise to move back into the condo for a few years in order to save on taxes. I would see Michael's For Sale signs around the neighborhood and I knew he was knowledgeable of the real estate market in our area and also our HOA. After a few upgrades by subcontracts he put us in touch with and his team that stage our condo into a beautiful place, we were able to get an all cash offer for over asking price. Thank you so much Michael and team for your hard work and dedication!
