Michael Tessaro

Michael Tessaro was an excellent communicator. He was attentive to our specific situation and carefully explained the nuances of the real estate market when we had questions. He negotiated effectively on our behalf and calmly addressed all issues as they arose. We heartily recommend this knowledgable and consistently professional realtor!

I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. He helped us sell our home which we had lived in for over 30 years. Needless to say things have changed since we last sold a home and Michael was informative, very knowledgeable and spoke with us in a way that was always compassionate and easy for us to understand. He presented the property beautifully and we had an offer within 5 days of listing. He walked us through all the paperwork and we always knew what to expect. I highly recommend Michael and would not hesitate o use him again.

Michael’s knowledge of the market in the SF Bay Area is outstanding given his decades of expertise. Michael is extremely professional and clear and consistent in all his timely communications. Many thanks to you Michael and your team for making this process nearly flawless from 2200 miles away! I am deeply grateful and thankful for you Michael. All the best, Deb

As a decades-long business owner, I'd never before seen the level of elevated professionalism and humanity in client service than I've experienced with Michael Tessaro. Over a period of 21 months, he served our family after my father's death, arranging and managing the extensive repairs/renovations and sale of our father's home. Michael's deep knowledge of the industry, his longstanding relationships with local contractors & service providers, and his forthright character were essential in getting the job done beautifully despite our limited budget. Since we reside outside the immediate area, for 21 months he "held down the fort" for us - regularly checking on the property while anticipating and remedying every issue that arose. He smoothed out snag after snag that cropped up and dealt with vendors and the county for inspections and permitting, never wavering in focus even after delays beyond anyone's control made the process so much longer than originally anticipated. Finally, he made the listing-to-closing process seamless and quick. All the while we were kept thoroughly in the loop with clear, timely and informative communication. I cannot overstate my family's gratitude to Michael for his generously diligent service, and I cannot recommend anyone - in ANY field or industry - higher than I recommend Michael.

Michael provided great help during the entire process.

Let me start this review by saying, I’ve known Michael Tessaro since the third grade, that’s 51 years. In those 51 years, Michael has always been the example of integrity and honesty; a person to be trusted. My dad passed away coming up on 6 years. My mom fell ill a year and a half ago. She asked to be moved to assisted living because she recognized that she could no longer care for herself. A few months ago, she realized that she would never be able to return to the home she shared with her husband for 45 years. It had to be sold. Knowing Michael has been in real-estate for 40+ years, we decided to ask him to sell our parents’ home. Hiring Michael was the best decision we could have made. From day one, Michael hit the ground running. He lined up the title company, set up the initial walk through, the inspections, sold the items left in the house, brought the home from the 80’s to 2024, cleaned up the landscape, kept me up to date on all the paper work and behind the scene activities, and the big one, he got the solar panel company’s lien off her home. (Solar companies are a nightmare to work with.) I know, you might say all this is to be expected from a realtor. I’d say Michael made the whole process stress free. I only stress I had was self-induced.
