Had a sale w/I first several weeks that fell out due to no fault of Michael or the owner. Michael stayed focused and really through his hard work behind the scenes kept potential buyers interested in my home. Sale made several weeks later because of his efforts. Many thanks Michael….Greg Wintroath
Caring, knowledgeable and professional agent who I now consider a friend for all he did to help us secure our new home in Richmond Hill GA. We were facing a very challenging home sale market in Minnesota and we’re down to the last day to sell our home there before losing our opportunity to purchase our dream retirement home in Richmond Hill. With steady guidance and great communication with all agents parties he helped to make it all happen with only hours to spare! Compass and the Maki Team were really good and have a great agent in Michael Gates! Thanks for all you did to make this happen and personal and not just another transaction…Greg & Joanne Wintroath
We are new to the area. Took several visits to find the right location and size of the house. Micheal stayed persistent through the process. Right house a little outside my initial geographic thoughts and plans. Micheal helped us take a broad view over several months. Till we found our new home. We never felt rushed!
Michael was great to work with and was attentive to our needs. He responded to our calls, emails and texts promptly making us feel at ease.
Michael is an absolute gem. My fiancé and I knew we were vulnerable as first-time homebuyers and therefore in need of a seasoned, trustworthy, communicative, and patient realtor. Michael graciously explained the process to ensure our comfortability, provided a fantastic referral for our mortgage lender, and went above and beyond communicating and resolving time-sensitive requests. We certainly did not expect our first offer to be accepted in such a hot seller's market, but Michael's advice gave us a competitive bid without sacrificing contingencies most important to us. We are grateful for the wonderful, stress-free home buying experience Michael provided us and would not hesitate to work with him again.
Michael was recommended to us from our agent in Kansas City. He was very attentive and quick to respond. Being out of state we weren’t able to go and see the homes. He did a handful of video walk through’s for us until we found what we were looking for. Whenever we had questions about location he was able to fill us in. He made the whole process easy and made us feel comfortable.
Michael was very knowledgeable and worked with me every step of the way in selling my father’s house. He went above and beyond in making this sale happen.
Super helpful and really knowledgeable! We moved here to Savannah from Washington state. Being sight unseen he did his job above and beyond! He was our eyes and he made sure everything was taken care of, by coordinating with our builder on the ground while we were across the country. He came highly recommended and I definitely see why now!
Moving to a new area is never easy. You are essentially navigating the unknown with little to no guidance if you don’t have the right agent to help guide you through the process. I am happy to say, we found the right agent when we hired Michael Gates. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the area, but he also made himself available to spend a weekend showing us properties with only 2 days notice. He was available every time we called him and was ready and willing to answer our endless list of questions. We are extremely grateful to Michael for all of his help in making our transition to the Low Country a seamless one.
Michael has helped us buy (twice) and sell (once) and every time we with work with him it is a pleasure! He is responsive, knowledgeable, proactive, and insightful. As his client, we always felt like a priority and his dedication is unmatched. We cannot recommend Michael enough. He is the best agent we've ever used!
Michael is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. He first asked us what we were looking for, our budget, location etc, and once he got an idea he helped us find a beautiful home in Savannah and supported us through the entire process up until the closing, making it super smooth. We are so happy we had him as our realtor. Highly recommend!
Michael exceeded my expectation he was involved with every aspect of the sale was always available and responded back in a timely manner he answered all my questions and always handled all my concerns he was always 150% on my side making sure all was right i am out of state and always trusted him he is the best
