Michael Studebaker

We were recommended to Michael by numerous friends and we can't say enough about how helpful he was throughout our entire home buying process. As first time home buyers we were definitely intimidated and discouraged by the competitiveness of the current Oakland market, however Michael was incredibly knowledgeable and persistent, keeping us up to date about all homes that met our criteria, and did extensive research while guiding us in viewing homes and making offers. Thanks to Michael and his team we were able to find an amazing fixer in the exact neighborhood we originally mentioned we would be interested in pursuing that's more than we could've imagined. We have already recommended Michael to two contacts of ours looking for an agent, and we would encourage anyone looking for representation in buying or selling to meet with him and use his extensive Oakland knowledge to your benefit because in this market we all definitely need all of the help we can get! 5 stars!

Michael worked tirelessly to follow up on details big and small throughout the entire process of helping me buy a condo. His advice during the bidding phase was well-considered and astute, and he stayed constantly engaged during the lengthy process. During escrow he made himself available for in-person meetings on short notice and made countless phone calls on my behalf to the selling agent, escrow and loan officers, and others. In the end, we succeeded in securing a beautiful property for a very reasonable price, and I am very grateful to him for his hard work.
