Michael Willis

With our renter's lease expiring in June, my wife and I decided earlier in the year that we would sell our rental condo in the summer. We were also looking to purchase a new investment property with the proceeds. We needed an experienced realtor to guide us through the rapidly changing seller's market. Mike Willis was the perfect agent for the job. From the very beginning Mike answered all my tough questions and laid out a plan to get our condo on the market quickly. We ended up fielding several offers after our first week on the market and eventually accepted one. Mike stayed on top of communication between all parties, and ensured a smooth closing.With the sale of our condo complete it was time to move on to our next purchase. It was our first time doing a 1031 exchange and Mike walked us through all the rules, fees and timelines associated with this process. After many open houses and many inspection reports we found the perfect investment property. This wasn't an easy decision. Mike was there every step of the way to point out the good, bad and ugly of every property we considered. We truly valued Mike's expertise and took his opinion into consideration upon selecting our new property. Mike put together a strategy that lead us to close at less than the asking price. We couldn't have been more pleased with the results.If you're looking for a realtor who is a true professional, look no further. Mike Willis was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with him again and I'll be recommending him to all my family and friends.

Buying a house can be stressful but buying a house out of the area presents its own challenges. I recently purchased a home in San Diego. I needed a realtor with excellent communication and responsiveness. Michael Willis came with high recommendations, and he did not disappoint!He has a deep understanding of the market and the area, and his quick responses made me feel comfortable; someone I could trust. Michael took care of everything, from communication with the lender and seller to coordination with inspectors and contractors. His professionalism made the process seamless. It was a truly a pleasure working with Michael!

Michael was a very responsible and reliable person. He was very professional in his dealings with us as his client. We were from out of state which could have made it very difficult but Michael made the whole process seamless. He took care of every detail, big and small. He had a great team working with him. He helped us above & beyond the duties of a Realtor from preparation, listing, negotiations until he finally sold the house. He made sure that we got the maximum return on our added investment. Michael was a diligent, honest and well-informed Realtor that you can count on.If you are still looking for a Realtor that you can trust, call Michael Willis now!

Hiring Michael is a decision I will never regret and you won’t regret as well. He has made our process of putting our home on the market seamlessly easy from beginning to end. Just a little background. This was our 3rd home that we were selling in the last 7 years and my mom is a real estate broker as well. So I am fairly knowledgeable in the real estate process and the work and hustle that comes along with it. So we were quite choosy when deciding on a realtor. When we first considered hiring Mike as our listing agent, we knew right away that he was the one. Right from the start he had excellent communication, was very knowledgeable in the market both on the real estate side and on the housing appraisal end as well. He was very professional yet had the most down to earth personality and always had a smile on his face. I was very nervous with covid going on and having hundreds of people walk through my home during showings. He thoroughly explained the process and protocols and assured me that he will do everything he can to make sure everyone follows the guidelines. He made suggestions for us to limit our contact like going out of town for a couple of days while showings were taking place and we entrusted him to take care of everything from prepping our home daily to locking up at the end of the day. He was an excellent advocate for us and always had our best interest in mind. Before hiring Mike, we had heard nothing but amazing things about him and they were all true! Thank you Mike for literally being such an exceptional realtor. I would hire you all over again!

Once we decided it was time to sell we started the process by interviewing numerous agents. We wanted an agent who would understand us and what we wanted and would be there throughout the process. We did not want to hire an agent and then be passed off to an assistant. It was important to us that we could trust our agents and have a personal connection with them. Ultimately we decided to have Michael represent us and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We were looking for an agent who would handle all the aspects of selling our house while we focused on our move and right from the start, Michael got everything going. He was very responsive to our needs and was quick to respond to our inquiries. What’s more, Michael brought in people who were top-notch and did an excellent job. From the contractor who got the house ready for the market to the stager who made the house look amazing, to the photographer who presented the house’s best qualities, his office assistant who was efficient in ensuring all the paperwork was ready, and ultimately the title company who ensured we were ready to close on our end. Over the years we have bought and sold many houses, both personal and commercial, and never have been this satisfied. It was as stress-free as it possibly could be and throughout the process, we felt informed and in control. Michael proved that our trust in him was well placed. What’s more, he was able to get us a record-setting price for our house. We couldn’t be more satisfied and we will definitely be having Michael represent us when we are ready to buy our next house. Thank you Michael and thank you to all the great people who are part of your excellent team.

My husband and I feel so lucky to have found Michael to help us purchase our first home. We expected home-buying to be a fairly painful process, especially in an extremely competitive market during COVID. Michael made absolutely every step of the process seamless and straightforward. He helped us find our perfect home in Livermore within our budget, and gave us his honest assessment and recommendations every step of the way, pointing out the pros and cons at each home viewing and taking his time to understand exactly what we were looking for. Michael’s communication was excellent, and he thoughtfully answered each and every question we had. We truly felt like we had someone on our team who would be our best advocate. Michael had the expertise, connections, and strategic thinking to get us into our first home more quickly than we believed possible. We will send all of our friends and family looking for homes in the Bay Area straight to Michael, and hope to work with him again in the future!
