Our highest recommendation goes to Mike Stone. Being the diligent researchers, we interviewed 9 different realtors and knew Mike was #1 after the initial conversation. He is not only a realtor, but his expertise as a broker and former real estate company owner shines through. He is the consummate professional: Extremely knowledgeable, excellent communicator, low key, flexible, receptive and honest. Since this was an estate sale, there was family divisiveness and his ability to ‘read between the lines’ was invaluable. He saved us thousands of dollars and multitudes of worry. To quote Mike: ‘It’s not my money and I take that seriously’. None of us knew the market, procedures or protocols. Mike did. The home had both obvious and hidden issues. Mike knew what to do…and not do when advising us on preparing the house for sale. As he says ‘I don’t sell the house, the house sells itself”. He used the internet to the highest advantage even opting for Zillow’s Premier Agent program to “feature” our property for sale which gave it greater exposure. Resources were at his fingertips. He recommended vendors for new countertops, appraisers, inspections, pest control, fencing, electrical and plumbing. The title of the property was out of compliance and he caught it early on in the process so as to not cause any unexpected delays. His photographs of the home showed off its assets beautifully. The sale went smoothly and although many negotiations were involved, he executed perfectly. He even called the loan officer for the buyer to check qualifications in advance of our accepting an offer; a huge time saver. His calm demeanor, sophisticated wisdom and articulate explanations delivered comfort to us all: We are lifelong customers!

We would highly recommend Mike Stone. My wife and I needed to relocate ASAP after accepting a job offer. Talking w/ Mike made us confident that our house was in good hands. He was extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and honest. He made some good recommendations which helped us get the house ready for sale which we were fortunate enough to have the house sold shortly after it was listed. It was great to have our questions answered promptly. Thanks again Mike!

I worked with Mike Stone both from buying my first home and selling it after. Mike is outstanding. He made me very comfortable with buying my first home since I have very little knowledge about it. He is very knowledgeable and very attentive to details. He shared valuable and great ideas without being pushy. Always quick to respond to emails/text/calls, sensitive about your own time as well. Since I work night shift, he would not call/text me when I’m resting during the day (which I appreciated a lot). When it comes to selling the house, as much as I loved that place – I had to sell it coz I had to move. Mike helped me even though I was not living in the area anymore. He communicated everything to me smoothly without any problem, even with everything that happened recently in Sonoma County. I am very happy working with Mike and I highly recommend him to anyone. If in the future I would need a realtor again, I would work with Mike again. Thank you so much for everything Mike!

First, let me say that I am very happy with Mike Stone. He is kind, prompt and professional. My loan offer included a VA loan and real estate agents commonly feel that VA makes their job too hard. Mike Stone never wavered and Mike never made me feel like I was on my own. Traditionally, I would try to avoid real estate agents because I feel that they are just phoning in what anyone could do themselves but Mike Stone worked for it. Mike made sure that I did not make any mistakes when negotiating and he was acutely aware of the differences between a VA loan and conventional lenders. He kept the selling agent on point and I feel he saved me a lot of legwork and worry. Thanks Mr. Stone

My wife and I are both writing this to express to anyone reading, that Mike is the greatest! He found us exactly what we were looking for; a turn-key house, off market and under market rate. It wasn't a miracle, it was due to Mike's unrelenting efforts. Mike always had good places for us to look at and accurately predicted the ones that would cause a commotion and go for more than the asking price. Mike met us whenever we saw something we thought we wanted, even though it was not always the best use of time. He never hesitated to accommodate us, even through the rainy season, around holidays, or at other inconvenient times. He never talked about the houses he sold, or the ones he found for people, or the clients he presently had. We always felt we were his only clients. Mike has more knowledge and experience than he immediately lets on. He gave us many insights and pearls regarding local codes and the ins and outs of septic, wells, termites and other stuff we weren't knowledgeable about. When it came time to make an offer, he graciously included negotiating points that gave the offer to the seller a respectful tone, making things go smoothly. Mike was never pushy because he's not that kind of person. He's dedicated, genuine and honest. He is the best!

Highly recommend Mike Stone to anyone who needs a real estate agent. He went above and beyond the call of duty during my home buying process. A true professional who has his client's best interests at heart. Acted very ethically and responsibly while working with me. Mike's knowledge of real estate is quite extensive and he generously provided me with lots of information and advice that proved invaluable. He is very responsive and always followed up on important matters. Rare to find someone who is so pleasantly easy to work with. Can't praise Mike enough for the fantastic job he did! Would love to have him as my realtor again in the future.

Mike was great to work with. He listened and paid attention to what we were looking for, and he shared ideas without being pushy. He was always quick to respond to emails/texts/calls, was never late during appointments, and since he knew the area really well, he gave great advice during negotiations. Thank you, Mike!

My wife and I cannot say enough good about Mike. We have dealt with several realtors in recent years on several real estate transactions. Mike exemplify's how we all hope our real estate representative will act on our behalf. He is a good listener and takes heed to our likes and dislikes. Thank you Mike for finding us our home and negotiating on our behalf. Allen and Donna Gott
