“Responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. In a market and neighborhood that just isn't moving, Michael secured two full price offers within one week of listing. He worked well with us and our tenants to assure access for buyers with minimal disruptions. His up front recommendations and marketing strategy led to outstanding results in our sale. We could not be happier with Michael's performance and would recommend him without hesitation."

“The very BEST Realtor. Being a retired realtor, I highly recommend Michael! His professionalism was exceptional during our transaction. He always seemed to be a step ahead of all issues. He is one of the best communicators I have ever had as my realtor. Our property sold quickly due to his excellent marketing skills and his knowledge of market value in helping us come up with a a listing price. In summary, he's the very best!"

“Couldn't ask for more. Extremely helpful and explains the process both before and as it is happening. Let's you know what to expect at each step of the way. He is very knowledgeable for both sides of it. I used him to purchase my first home and to sell a home. He always makes time for you and what ever questions you have he will answer in a professional and very politically way or will let you know he doesn't know but will find the answer for you. He may have had other clients in various stages of their sale/purchase but you wouldn't know because he knows what it means to be there for you. You will feel like you are the priority because he will make it so.
- Kenneth S. (Chandler, AZ)

“Exceptional, always going above and beyond! Michael was an exceptional realtor to work with. He was always available for answering any questions I had. In my opinion he went above and beyond when helping me sell my father's home. Being in a different city than where my father's house was located could have been extremely difficult, however Michael was there every step of the way offering me guidance when I needed it.
- Kari W. (Queen Creek, AZ)

“Michael was very helpful and supportive through this whole process! It was my first time buying a house and he made sure that I was making the right decisions and looking at all the right things before I would put in an offer. We looked at several homes, put in several offers, and this market is crazy, but he helped me to remain positive and find a house closer to home in Tempe than I ever expected to get!”
- Heather P. (Tempe, AZ)

“You will not find a more thorough partner in your home transaction than Michael Smith! Top to bottom, inside and out, Michael is a true expert and professional who will guide you through the process with excellent service and expert advice. As out of state owners, Michael went above and beyond to take care of some critical local tasks to help us get our rental property on the market. Ultimately, we had twelve offers and were under contract within five days of the home being on the market. The property sold for well over asking price and the process was smooth and stress free! Thank you so very much for guiding us through this process and taking such good care of every detail, Michael! Hands down... you could not ask for a better partner!”

"Michael has assisted us with 2 home purchases now and we couldn’t be happier. He was with us step by step and even though we had to make multiple offers on homes and look at multiple homes, he was always professional, courteous, and knew what we were looking for."

"In handling a relative’s estate, selling a home was a new venture for me. Michael’s expertise and attention to detail guided us carefully through every phase of the process. He was always ready with a knowledgeable answer and never wearied of my many questions. He researched well and knew the current market for our area. With the experienced personnel he used for photos and staging, Michael designed a great virtual presentation of the property. He guided decisions— not pushed his own on us. He was especially thoughtful of our welfare in the midst of Covid-19 for meetings and showings. From the initial listing of the property to sorting out the offers and the final signatures at closing, Michael was always on top of the situation and communicated it clearly. I highly recommend him for whatever real estate needs any person might have. He’s a 6+ star realtor in a 5-star review!"
- Cheri M. (Gilbert, AZ)

"Michael helped me sell my house a couple of month ago and it was a pleasure having him as my realtor. Michael went above and beyond and was extremely helpful and responsive. His excellent knowledge of the Phoenix real estate market helped me to get top Dollar for my property. I highly recommend Michael and would use him in the future again."
- Christoph H. (Scottsdale, AZ)

April 2020 - Seller Client
"Michael did an excellent job helping us sell our house. From the very beginning his professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail were exemplary. His high quality photos, ability to highlight the unique features of the house resulted in us getting an offer above asking price before we had our first open house. From there the process went quickly and Michael did a great job of keeping us in the loop the entire time and was patient with all of the questions that we had. We can’t recommend Michael highly enough and will definitely use him in the future to sell our other properties."
- Warren G. (Phoenix, AZ)

"In the past 2½ years I have used my Realtor, Michael Smith, to negotiate the purchase of 2 townhomes and most recently I have engaged him in the sale of my home which he sold in less than 3 weeks and for full ask. He constantly monitors the pulse of the Valley housing markets using a number of resources that he has access to help me make my real estate decisions. Aside from his wealth of knowledge, experience and intelligence, he is quite personable and returns calls and messages quickly. These are the traits I look for in a Realtor, and if you are of the same mindset, he’s your guy."
- Mike S. (Chandler, AZ)

April 2019 - Seller Client
"Michael Smith is by far the most hard working, consummate professional that offers individual, exceptional service as a realtor. From the moment we asked him to meet us to discuss using him as our listing agent to well after the close and sale went through, he provided excellent advise, service and communication. It was like we had a “concierge” instead of a realtor at times... Michael developed a strategy and specific timeline that worked with our schedule for listing and held an open house. We were prepared for the likelihood of seeing some interest and maybe some offers within 30 to 45 days but that’s NOT what happened with Michael as our agent. After a single weekend open house, we had more than 15 offers... Do yourselves a favor and don’t make a mistake by using someone else. He’s great to work with and I assure you, you will be as impressed and happy as we were."
- Ed P. (Phoenix, AZ)

December 2018 - Buyer Client
"Michael is the best real estate agent I've ever used. I've bought and sold over 30 homes, and he was far superior to any I've ever worked with. He anticipated my needs, was extremely responsive, and genuinely wanted me to get the best house possible for my needs. He spent countless hours doing research on homes, spent days driving me around viewing houses, and was really enjoyable to be around. He worked with my lender and escrow as well as the listing agent to make sure the sale closed on time, which was important because I was relocating from another state. It is clear that he loves what he does and strives to be the best."
- Kay C. (Sun City West, AZ)

My family and I greatly appreciated his services!"

June 2017 - Buyer Client
"I worked with Michael when I relocated to the Phoenix/Tempe area. I found that he was very knowledgeable about the market, what was happening now and what was predicted to happen in the future. Once I explained what I was looking for, Michael was able to provide several properties to compare/contrast - which helped us to narrow our search further. His focus on what I wanted helped him to identify a property just as it went on the market - and he was able to move quickly to take the steps to have us see the house and place the right offer (in a multiple-offer situation). Michael is a full-time realtor who focuses on what his client wants and keeps digging until he finds it for them."
- Don Q. (Tempe, AZ)

September 2016 - Buyer Client
"I cannot even begin to explain how amazing of a person and realtor Michael is. I had worked with several realtors in the past, and feel so fortunate to have met him. He made this extremely stressful process so peaceful, and he worked so hard to ensure our closing date was met (which he ended up getting us in 10 days earlier than we were first quoted!). He showed up to the inspection, would call or text me updates all the time, and showed up to appointments he didn't even need to be at. He gets my highest recommendation and I promise he will exceed all your expectations!"
- Steven S. (Gilbert, AZ)

"I never thought buying a house could be this easy. I never had to worry about anything throughout the entire home-buying process because Michael was on top of everything. I highly recommend him to all home buyers, but especially first time home-buyers because of the comfort level you will feel knowing you are walked through each step with an organized professional. Michael's attention to detail and follow-up was on point. I also knew at each step what was expected from me as well. Wonderful experience all-around. 5 stars absolutely."
- Lindy P. (Scottsdale, AZ)

August 2015 - Buyer Client
"Michael is a very knowledgeable and effective agent. While he is aggressive at sealing the deal and achieving your goals, he's also incredibly personable and makes the process more comfortable. This was my first time buying a place, so it was really nice to have someone so knowledgeable and nice to help me navigate the confusing landscape of home-buying. He was also very responsive and accommodating: He showed me homes in a very timely fashion, worked around my schedule, and he sent me txts/emails about all updates. I was really struggling to find a realtor I liked and felt comfortable with until I found him! Most importantly, he helped me close on a great house in my ideal area in record time. I cannot recommend him enough!"
- Adam E. (Tempe, AZ)

"Michael Smith was absolutely wonderful for us. He kept us informed with possibilities in our area and was patient with the "shopping" process. Michael goes above and beyond during the whole purchasing process; communication is key with him which is great. He educated us along the way so that we didn't feel so lost.. Again, Michael is absolutely wonderful!!"

"Mr Smith was professional and efficient as he helped us find a new house (which we LOVE)in a market unfamiliar to us since we were moving from 120 miles away. All the home tours he took us on we're well planned out and made the best use of our limited visits to the valley. While looking over our closing paperwork, Mr Smith found an error we missed and I really appreciated that. I have recommended Mr Smith to 3 of my friends who will be looking to buy a house later this year."
- Mike C. (Phoenix, AZ)
