Michael Bartus is a saint

Michael Bartus is a saint

Michael Bartus is a saint. Our 2017 relocation from out of state to the Metro area was successful because of Michael. Although it was our second state-to-state move in 5 years, we were more anxious and indecisive buyers than we expected. Through it all, Michael was Very patient with us. Time and time again, whenever we had questions or doubts about the process, Michael was proven right. Always on our side, he helped us through two local visits, numerous FaceTime walk-throughs and 3 offers. We were very lucky to work with someone willing to go above and beyond, and we recommend him unreservedly.

Michael represented us when my wife was transferred out of state

Michael represented us when my wife was transferred out of state. We has a pretty short window to sell the house, while it still had furnishings and before the movers coming to pack the house. Michaels helped get the house staged and pictures taken so we could get the house on the market fast. It felt like we were Michaels only client the way he was able to assist us and answer our questions. The house was only on the market for about a week when we received multiple bids. We accepted a bid well over the the asking price. Michael helped us with inspection and to sure everything was ready for the purchasing party. With Michaels assistance and knowledge of the real estate industry the sale of our house was quick and painless.

Michael is an amazing realtor that can do it all (and has an excellent sense of humor to boot). Just with us he's been our Realtor to buy our first house, sell our first house, bought our new lot, built a new house on the lot, and did a final closing deal to put the house and lot together. This doesn't even count the countless lot hunting, house hunting, calls/emails, and negotiating with builders. He is the definition of a Realtor and you should definitely use him!

Michael helped me through my relocation process

Michael helped me through my relocation process. I was moving out of Minneapolis and he diligently worked with my relocation company. What made Michael stand out was his super marketing strategy, which he discussed at length with me, his high level or responsiveness, and how helpful his staff was, too. I highly recommend Michael. I have worked with several realtors in the past and he has been by far the most professional, effective, and customer service focused one I've worked with.

I have worked with Michael for several years now, and he always operates with honesty and integrity. Don't settle for the "sell quick and avoid the showings" schemes, when you can get more for your home and a personal touch from a local pro like Michael. He is also a relocation expert, so if you are moving into the Twin Cities from out of town, Michael has a tailored process to get you into the right home in the right neighborhood for your budget. I highly, highly recommended him!

We (first-time relocation buyers) were delighted with Michael's performance as our buyers' agent

We (first-time relocation buyers) were delighted with Michael's performance as our buyers' agent. He scheduled a packed itinerary of showings during our house-hunting trip, and his solid preparation and clear communication made the process as painless as possible. Walking through houses with Michael was educational and confidence-inspiring. Drawing on his knowledge of construction and his extensive network of trusted contractors, he was able to answer our concerns regarding maintenance issues and refer us to other professionals as appropriate. After just two days, we'd found our house and written an offer. We're now happily established in our new home. Next time we buy or sell a house we'll hire Michael again. We still have something to learn from him and trust him to represent us with integrity.

Michael Bartus is the epitome of professionalism! I was grateful for his keen eye to see items that needed to be repaired or replaced in order to sell my house at top dollar in a short amount of time. Michael never left questions unanswered and always responded promptly. We even got $30k more than the previous realtor wanted to list my house at! I will be forever grateful and would recommend Michael Bartus to anyone. -Albert -Schofield Wisconsin

Michael was recommended to us by our friends and the whole process was nothing but smooth when buyin

Michael was recommended to us by our friends and the whole process was nothing but smooth when buying our first home. What I really liked about him is that he is not there to make a quick sale, and will point out the flaws in a showing and bring up points that you may not have thought of yourself. He is extremely responsive with email and text, and made time for us, especially as I don’t have a traditional work schedule. I plan to recommend him to my family and friends who are looking to buy.
