Mike, Mike, Mike! We cannot recommend him enough, and its a testament to his expertise and care that weve worked with him for not oneaEUR"but two home purchases! First, he helped us find and buy our very first townhome, and six years later, he guided us to our dream primary residence. What makes Mike truly exceptional is not just his depth of knowledge in real estate, but also his expertise as a lender. He took the time to ensure we understood every aspect of our loanaEUR"not just the numbers, but the strategy behind choosing the right terms for our long-term goals. Beyond that, he helped us think outside the typical inspection process, connecting us with specialists so we had a complete and well-rounded understanding of the home before making such a big decision. Mike is remarkably patient, always available (even for early-morning calls or late-night questions), and his approach is refreshingly thorough and considerate. He doesnt just want to close a dealaEUR"he genuinely cares that his clients make smart, well-informed choices. If youre looking for someone who is as knowledgeable as they come and has an unmatched commitment to your best interests, Mike is as patient, caring, and knowledgeable as they come.

Michael Thomas is a fantastic realtor! Over the last 6 years he has always made himself available to show me condos and homes until I found the right fit. Michael helped me purchase a condo and most recently our forever home in the most lovely neighborhood. After recommending him to my parents and best friend, he has assisted them in purchasing 4 homes over the years.A He most recently helped me with a complicated sale of my parents home in a different county. Michael will work tirelessly for you to make sure all your needs are met and you are completely happy. He takes care of you every step of the way in the home buying process. I highly recommend working with Michael if you want an agent who will have your best interests in mind and do all that he can to make your dreams come true!A

Michael was the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and very patient. We had been working with him for seven months trying to purchase a home, and he was always friendly and accessible, even during his vacation! He is also a mortgage broker, so he has a ton of expertise in that arena. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again and recommend him to any and everyone. Thanks for everything, Michael!

Michael is the best Realtor and Broker in San Diego! We knew from the minute we met him that he would be the one to sell our home. He guided us throughout the listing process and shared his expertise every step of the way. He is kind and patient and he is always a phone call away. He explained the escrow process really well and negotiated terms suitable for our family. Thanks to his expertise and skills, we chose a great offer within a week! He is truly the most professional and reliable agent we have ever met!

If you are looking for an outstanding Realtor/Mortgage Broker, Michael Thomas is your guy. We have used 12 Realtors during our lifetime, some good, others not so much, and Michael clearly stands out as the best. Michael diligently worked with us to land a home in San Diego. Working with Michael we submitted three offers on three different homes and were successful on each one, even during the bidding wars of 2021 - 2022. Michael is super responsive, always available for calls, texts and email, consistently responding within minutes. Anytime we wanted to view a property he worked his magic to get us in the same day. Setting up qualified inspectors fast and within 2 days of offer acceptance. Michael has lived in San Diego his entire life, has a huge network and knows all areas of San Diego like the back of his hand . We call him Magic Michael because he manages to pull everything together fast and deliver everything that was asked of him. Michael is honest, has terrific interpersonal skills, a great negotiator, very patient and a work horse (unrelenting). His credentials also speak volumes. Michael has a BS in Business and an MBA. Licenses and certifications - NMLS Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, Accredited Buyer Representative, Sell Representative Specialist and Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource. At closing he insisted on coming by to offer his congratulations in person and also to make sure there were no unanswered questions/concerns. Telling us, aEURoelet me know in 6 months how you like your house, then Ill know if I did a good job .aEUR? From the beginning of our search to the very end, we had the most experienced realtor in San Diego with a personal interest in guiding us through the entire process. As you can tell, we are very happy and extremely grateful for Michaels advice and counsel and highly recommend him to anyone in search of a home in the San Diego area.
