Sold our Rowhome in 2026 in Highland Bridge Saint Paul, MN. Working with Michael on the sale of our rowhome was, without a doubt, the best real estate experience we've ever had. From our first conversation to closing day, Michael was professional, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests at heart. He was honest and realistic about the expected timeline for the sale, and he delivered exactly as promised, selling our property within the timeframe he projected. Throughout the process, Michael was transparent, communicative, and receptive to our ideas and suggestions. After three unsuccessful attempts with three different real estate agencies, Michael was exactly the person we needed. His expertise and dedication made all the difference, and he turned what had been a frustrating experience into a smooth and successful transaction. We highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a trustworthy agent who will work hard to achieve results while making the process as seamless as possible. Melinda and Thomas Cranwell :)

Michael's knowledge and experience is top notch. He guided my fiance and I to buy our first home together. Michael was always readily available to answer questions, attend showings, and provide his wisdom and insight on the entire home buying process. We thoroughly enjoyed his experience and would absolutely work with him again. Thankful for everything he did for us as a realtor.

This is a letter wd (clients) sent to Michael after selling our house. Mike, It's hard to express how much we appreciate your hard work in selling the house. You truly do go above and beyond. There have been so many crazy loops and hangups with this house - pipe leak and plumber visits, getting people excited about high-end real estate in once-flooded anything-but high-end condition, mitigation, battling with insurance/appraisers/lawyer, encumbrance, lien releases, figuring out whether to sell as-is or repair, clearing out the house, and issue with our financial institution plus their partner that initially hindered transfer of payment. And then there's working with four family members of different personalities through the whole process. You had a mess to deal with and kept things moving forward. You have been patient with our unusual situation and also a huge help in moving things as quickly as possible. Much of what came at us was well out of the realm of your responsibility, but you never hesitated to help figure things out yourself or connect us with people so we could navigate through and solve problems. Your professionalism plus your conviction and drive to succeed stand out. Positivity and a sense of humor are part of you — not something that can be learned — and these are no small contributor to your unique ability of connecting with people, winning them over and working collaboratively to break down and overcome challenges that can feel insurmountable. We are THRILLED with how things turned out and THE SALE PRICE! We will gladly recommend you to anyone looking for a realtor who is effective, trustworthy, and enjoyable to work with. Thank you, Mike! Sincerely, Heather, John Sr., John Jr. and Allison

Michael was my selling real estate agent. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Not only did he hold several open houses, but he was also willing to shovel the driveway and sidewalk when I was unable to do it. His network of other professionals, in other industries, helped to put the final touches on a house that glowed because of it. In my opinion, he went above and beyond of not just selling a home but also making sure I was involved in the process as well, and we have become friends as a result. The Best news of all, he got me FULL ASKING PRICE!!

We absolutely loved working with Michael Bartus! His depth of knowledge and ability to really listen to your needs and share recommendations was outstanding. He made the house hunting and buying process so much fun.

We had an amazing experience with Michael! As first-time home buyers, we were a bit overwhelmed as we were also relocating across the country, but he made the process incredibly smooth. His communication was top-notch, always quick to respond, and clear in his explanations. The virtual tours were super helpful, especially when we couldn't be there in person. For anyone needing a realtor who understands the ins and outs of VA loans, he's your go-to advocate. We felt supported every step of the way. We can't recommend Michael enough!

Micheal was outstanding in every way! Thorough, dedicated, knows everything and everyone. We had a complicated negotiation (demanding buyers), and he stayed on top of it and got us through it. Plus, he's very personable. Nice guy!

Looking for a home but don’t know who to call? I encourage you to reach out to Michael. He provided us valuable market advice and offered detailed insights related to properties we considered and visited. We were incredibly happy to have him on our team as we navigated the closing process! Professional, kind, and helpful.

Michael was wonderful. He is incredibly knowledgeable and spent time teaching me about the condition of homes. He truly made the home buying process fun and enjoyable. Choosing Michael to be your realtor is the easiest and best decision you can make!

I had the great pleasure of working with Michael Bartus. Top notch professional with a top notch team of associates. Selling a home is a big task. Michael made it easy.

Extremely helpful, patient, and insightful throughout the entire buying search and execution. Relocated to the Twin Cities area for work and Michael was there every step of the way, without any hesitation. Very knowledgeable and insightful in home conditions and knows what to look for while visiting homes. Certainly recommend for home buyers!

Michael and his team are incredibly professional, as well as personal. The market was crazy but ANYTIME there was a house we wanted to see Michael moved fast to schedule a showing. He provided very helpful guidance about what to look at during a tour and has a keen eye for detail. When we found the house of our dreams, he quickly negotiated the contact, worked hard throughout the process to coordinate details with all the parties (bank, title company, seller, etc.), and ensured things like repairs were fair. Michael and his team provide a top-notch customer experience and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home.
