I was beyond happy with Michael's help in selling my grandmother's home after she passed. He is thorough and consistent, and he was able to help us get the best deal for our property. His flexibility for our individual needs made the entire process as easy and straightforward as possible, something that isn't always found in the housing market. Thank you Michael Durkin!
My wife and I have worked with Michael on three real estate deals in Northborough, MA with the most recent being the sale of our home in June 2020. There is no one that knows the Central MA market better than Michael, and he made sure every detail was covered and went above and beyond to assist with the sale of furniture and help coordinating service providers. He is always a pleasure to work with because of his responsiveness, knowledge and trust with the entire real estate process.
We cannot thank Michael Durkin enough for his outstanding work in helping sell our beloved home of 22 years. From our first meeting with him to the official closing, Michael was with us every step of the way. He provided concrete, sensible advice as to the best time to list our home, pre-sale readiness and set-up of a well-attended open house and conveniently timed showings. His knowledge of both the local market and trends in today’s real estate were invaluable to us as we navigated the emotional journey of moving out of state. We had the unfortunate experience of having COVID-19 quarantine and business interruption start immediately after we accepted a buyer’s offer. Countless, unavoidable COVID-19 related delays ensued. Michael stood behind us every step of the way magically arranging and rearranging home inspections, attorney meetings and discussions with the buyer’s broker and representatives. Michael’s hard work brought the sale to successful completion. We were kept informed every step of the way and we will always be grateful for Michael’s professionalism, kindness and very importantly – sense of humor. Thank you, Michael Durkin! We were so lucky to have worked with you!
Disclosure: we are NOT related. Michael is hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. He produced a market analysis for us shortly after our initial meeting. Combining the data with his extensive experience and deep knowledge of the area market, he nailed the pricing almost to the dollar. He always picked up the phone when I called and was 100% honest start to finish.The most specific example of Michael going above and beyond was before I'd even signed the contract with him, we had some weeds on our front walk that needed to be taken care of, and he dropped by and torched them for us. Hire Michael, and he'll sell your house for exactly what it's worth.
Mike is a true real estate professional.He established a basis of what to expect the property to sell for. He did all the the steps to insure it was listed well. He knew how to engage other realtors to take interest in the property and guide them to bring a strong buyer. He helped make the process seamless and smooth. His straightforward style was key to making the transaction easy for all parties.An Industry expert and a pleasure to work with.Five star service in every way!
Michael Durkin was the hardest working real estate agent we've ever worked with. He dealt with a unique house in a challenging climate with even-keeled grace. There were so many issues that popped up that even Michael, with his decades of experience, had never dealt with before and he took it all in stride and made it work. He went so far as to provide the tenant our buyer needed to finance purchasing our house--that's commitment! We would highly recommend Michael Durkin as a full-serve agent.
What impressed me most about Michael was his total commitment to the sale of my house. Secondly, but equally important, was his responsiveness. His communication was never delayed. I could count on him to keep me apprised of each update and return my emails, texts, or phone calls promptly.The bonuses are his energy, great personality, and sense of humor which is sometimes needed when things seem to have gone awry.I recommend him highly.
Mike Durkin is hands down, the best! He took the time to really get to know what we were looking for and only showed us houses that he knew we would have legitimate interest in. From finding houses that were about to come on the market, to closing process (important for a first time a home buyer like us!) Mike was insightful and helpful the entire time. Always very reassuring to know that he would always get back to me super quick with the multitude of questions I had. Could not give a stronger recommendation.
