What clients say about this agent....
Great to work with. Responds immediately when needed. Very honest. Knows the market well. Got a great price for my condo and it sold quickly. Can't say enough good things about Michael!
Michael Thomas is honest and thrust worthy, very competent and pleasant to work with. He has twice, in 2019 and 2021, expertly assisted us with our home purchases. He demonstrates high level of client focus and quickly understand his clients wants and needs. He was very patient during our home searching processes, and we never felt us pressed to make decisions. He always promptly replied for any requests or questions during the purchase and loan processes, and he always took our stand regarding prices and offers. Both times, we finally found our dream home. We are grateful for the outcomes and will definitely work with Michael again in the future. We highly recommend him to everyone buying or selling a place.
My wife and I started our house search around 4 years ago. Originally, we were going to work with another realtor, but a coworker of my wife had a wonderful experience with Michael, and my wife insisted we meet with him. I was hesitant at first because we had already liked the first realtor we met with, but we scheduled a meeting with Michael anyhow. After our first meeting, I knew we would be switching over to work exclusively with Michael. He was extremely knowledgeable, straightforward, and easy to talk to and work with.Throughout the past (and long!) 4 years, Michael has been extremely patient with us and always available. There was never a time where he made us feel like he was tired of us or that we were wasting his time. He understood that we had a tight budget and that we didnt want to buy a house just to buy a house. Every time we met at an open house, he was always honest and patient with us and he never pushed us to buy something that wasnt a good fit for us.After we finally found our home after 4 years, he was incredibly helpful every step of the way, from getting our offer accepted to resolving various problems during escrow. He was very hands-on with every single area of the closing process, he made sure that all inspections and repairs went smoothly and on time, and did his best to save us money and time whenever he could during a very stressful period.If you are looking to buy a property in San Diego and need a realtor who is experienced, patient, thoughtful, and honest, look no further than Michael.
Look no further, Michael Thomas is SDs best! As first time buyers, Michael was there to guide us EVERY step of the way and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with him. His communication is stellar, not just timely and responsive but also knowledgeable and clear to understand when there is so much to learn. Michael knew just when to push us and when to let us lead, which led us to a successful 2-week close of escrow in a wonderful neighborhood. His negotiation skills are TOP NOTCH and we would HIGHLY recommend working with him if you are looking to buy or sell. He is very personable and generous with his time, seemingly always available day or night. He has a keen attention to detail and caught errors and missteps of the listing agents on multiple occasionsaEUR|there is a reason why Michael is a 5-star-rated realtor! While viewing properties he pointed out critical details to help us focus on the important issues rather than let us get swept up in the trivial decor/specs. It was with his guidance and expertise that we found exactly what we were looking for and what will undoubtedly become the perfect home for us. If youre a first time home/property buyer, especially in a crazy sellers market, it is easy to get discouraged and overwhelmed aEUR" trust us when we tell you that Michael WILL get the job done and get it done right! It was truly a pleasure and we cant thank him enough for all of his assistance beginning to end. Thank you so very much Michael!!!
It was great to work with Michael while he helped me find my new home. Since I'm not from US, I needed help to understand how the market works here and even the lingo. Michael was always available and happy to help me on this. I will definitely work with Michael again in the future and I recommend him to everyone buying or selling a place.
Michael is great to work with. If you are new buyer in town I definitely recommend choosing Michael. He also got me a home loan at good rate. The entire home buying process was smooth and simple.
I have just closed my 5th escrow and Michael is by far the best realtor I have used. He is genuine, kind, easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Equally important, he is skilled at negotiating the real estate offer on his client's behalf. I felt that he always had our best interests at heart and took care to be frank on whether the property was worth the asking price! I wouldn't hesitate to use Michael again in the future.
If you want to buy a home, Michael should be at the top of your list. We initially connected with Michael because he sold my brother's home in 2020 and my brother highly recommended him. Immediately after our introductory phone call (we spoke with three real estate agents) we felt confident Michael had the knowledge and patience to guide two new homebuyers who were trying to land their first property in the midst of a seller's market. In short, Michael delivered -- from scheduling viewings, to helping us create a strategy for each purchase offer, to addressing innumerable questions (I ask A LOT of questions). His extensive experience buying and selling homes in San Diego shows as he (more than once!) had to guide the sellers' agents through the necessary steps as they would forget to do things, and he did a superb job helping us anticipate our next steps. More importantly, we felt he was an advocate for us, and after 3 months on the San Diego home buying journey (er, "roller coaster") we ultimately landed a home where we are happy and at a price we are comfortable with, both of which are very challenging to do in this market. Michael is a real estate powerhouse, combining his expertise, real estate strategy, and responsiveness (he follows through on everything and is quick to pick up the phone) with his patience and understanding. Thank you Michael for supporting us through our first home buying experience!
I have bought and sold several homes over the years, both primary and income properties. Michael is the best realtor I have ever had and here is why: He always answers the phone or gets back to me within minutes. He is always available to view homes, and he is respectful of my schedule. He has been very mindful of the Covid-19 precautions and made sure we were safe at all our home visits. He is patient with realtors who are less knowledgeable about negotiations, paperwork, property rules, and those whose people skills are negligible. We had a very inexperienced realtor on the other end and Michael's relationship skills paid off as the deal could have gone south, but he calmly and confidently guided the realtor through the steps required to close the deal. He was never pushy; always answered my questions honestly but didn't try to persuade me one way or another. I highly recommend Michael and hope to have him represent me again in future real estate transactions.
Michael was a joy to work with! A Our particular transaction was a purchase, and we couldn't be happier with the service and expertise he provided. A I'm not sure if this guy ever sleeps because he seemed to always be available to view properties, answer questions, help with paperwork, and just generally reassure us as we navigated through a journey that had plenty of unexpected quirks. A Truly a great asset to represent your interests in what is surely a major decision. You will never feel pressured with Michael, but you will get the benefit of his experience and knowledge. Highly recommend him! By the way, he does both the finance and property side of things. That was very convenient and appreciated.
