Michael Lane...Mike Mike Mike (old Geico camel commercial reference). Thesis: I have not only met a realtor who created a sense of trust and safety with me during the entire home buying process, but I have also built a friendship which I have a feeling will be a lifelong one. I am deeply grateful for who Michael Lane is in the world. Background: I am a first-time homeowner (!!!!), typing this up from my home office (!!!). When this all began, I didnt know ANYTHING about the process. I did know that I had a little bit of cash to my name and I wanted to invest in a home. I had never lived on my own and was so excited about the possibility. So needless to say I met Michael with a very very very vague mindset. The Search: in my day job as a recruiter, I know its important to aEURoescreenaEUR? multiple folks for a role...when it comes to my personal life I think similarly. I spoke with about 5 realtors through the process and Michael spent a large amount of that first call just meeting me as a person. I felt heard, seen, and understood. I also was clear that Michael was an expert as he offered (constantly) priceless advice as I began this journey. Michael remained consistent in his communication (always answering my calls, even if it was a BILLION times in a day), kept me balanced and calm through the search, the close, and overall made it fun! From the moment I met Michael to move in, it took about 2 months. I can confidently recommend Michael Lane to ANYONE looking to buy a home, even if you have no idea where to begin, talking to Michael is a great start. Owning a home has been nothing less than magical for my sense of connectedness and its a powerful privilege I wish for the world. Warmly, Kyle

AMAZING!! Michael really embodies the principle of going above and beyond! I count Michael as not only the top real estate agent I have worked with but the top professional I have received services from (which is a long list he is at the top of)! Where do I start... My wife and I moved here from London and started our search remotely with very little knowledge of the Bay Area. We didn't intend to actually buy a place before landing here and I never would have imagined making such a huge decision from abroad... but Michael really earned our trust and he helped us land the perfect place for us at a great price. There are too many things to mention so I'll just give a few anecdotes to help illustrate why he is a five star agent (would give more stars if possible): -Michael, went out of his way to travel to properties and personally scout them out for us. There was one property we wanted to put an offer on but had a concern about the roof inspection. When I called him, he turned his car around and headed back to the property to have a look himself. -Michael is honest and is not just in it for an easy commission. For example, we were almost ready to pull the trigger on a property until he gave us his view on the downsides of it (it was pretty close to the highway and had already been gut renovated so less room for appreciation). -Michael knows how to get offers accepted (which is HUGE in this market!). For example, he helped us come up with some sensible sweeteners (eg, fast closing) and when he submitted our offer he included an expiration time of later the evening which flipped the pressure to the buyers. -On top of that, the seller's agent at our property was actually the next door neighbor! So Michael went and chatted with him for a while about us and why we would make great neighbors which ultimately helped get our offer accepted. -Michael gifted a 1 year warranty on the house + appliances for us at no charge! This has already come in handy due to problems with the dryer. He also personally helped to get us connected to the insurance agent and get an appointment set up with a contractor. -When we moved in, we were surprised to see an expensive house warming gift waiting for us from Michael. But the gifts didn't stop there! Given the problems we were having with the dryer he decided to get us a gift card at a laundry service!! -On top of all of this, Michael had just had a new baby!! Nevertheless, he was extremely responsive (despite time zone differences) and made us feel like we were his only customers.
