Jill and Michael sold our home in the Santa Cruz Mountains about 7 miles south of Los Gatos. They were very professional from the beginning and throughout the process. The online pictures were stunning. They brought in a stager to set-up the house to look its best. They were available early in the morning and into the evening for any questions that came up and brought in high quality people to do the inspections. The property was somewhat unique being a custom house in the mountains and we started selling at the end of summer in a market that was declining in price. However, despite these handicaps we had 3 offers at the end of 5 months and closed in 45 days. They have a very pleasant support team and have an extensive network of high-quality professionals, if you need help prepping your house for a sale.Ive bought and sold 10 properties working with many realtors and can confidently say that Jill and Michael are certainly among the best you will find.

I ran into Michael at an open house and left him my contact information even though I wasn't terribly interested in buying at the time. I found him to be knowledgeable and sharp and thought in the future when I was more serious he might be someone who could help me. I wasn't from the area and knew the city appealed a great deal to me, but didn't know enough about the streets and neighborhoods and schools to really know where I might want to be.My circumstances were somewhat specific. I was on a budget looking for location first, something livable second, and something that had some great long term potential third. That expertise and ability to listen to me was key and I thought he did terrific on all accounts showing me properties that were in line with what I was interested in. He knew I wasn't in a rush and would occasionally mention properties that he thought would be a fit in a non-pushy kind of way which was great. In the end I did purchase a home with his help. Through the process he was smart, tough, and helped me get a property at a price that worked for me. He was flexible and always responsive when I needed him to be and yet took care of many things along the way saving me from having to deal with them personally. I would recommend him.

My husband decided to work with Michael because he was impressed by his knowledge of the market, he had figures and trends on his fingertips!We used the internet extensively in our house search. But working with Michael made us realize how much value a top caliber realtor can add. Properties can look terrific online, but there are things you just cannot assess through the internet. For example : a) Knowledge of a neighborhood, the social fabric, the future potential. b) Off market opportunities. c) Knowledge of seller motivation. d) Knowledge of properties which are good deals.What made Michael a cut above the rest? a) Ability to assess a property. Smooth talking realtors tend to gloss over defects, just to get a deal. But Michael helped us to realize that some properties require too much fixing. In one case we decided not to make an offer, in another we didn't get into a bidding war. He was also able to point out the upside and future potential of houses that DIDNT look good. b) Thinks outside the box, comes up with creative solutions to work around difficult problems. c) Adapts to buyers' needs, did not try to push us to his way of thinking. d) Superb negotiating skills. e) Quick and responsive - moves with lightning speed. f) Excellent network and support team. g) Goes the extra mile.We finally bought a house which has more than we were looking for - and my husband says his instincts were right!
