Michael Sutton, Realtor

We were so lucky to meet Mike and use his services both to sell our condominium and buy a new home! Both sides of the process went smoothly and we are very happy with how both transactions worked out. We were cautious to look for a new home before selling our existing condo, but we found a home that we fell in love with and through Mike's advice and support, we purchased our dream home in this crazy market. Then, to top it all off, Mike was able to get us a record price for our condo, all cash, with a seven day close. I can't recommend Mike highly enough. I have had previous experiences with real estate agents that was negative, and the difference Mike made to the transactions was priceless.

Mike prepared the winning offer from a total of 12 offers - and ours wasn't even the highest one. His contract was the most complete and reasonable, which happened to be what the buyer's realtor was looking for. Throughout the negotiation process, Mike kept us informed about the progress and coached us through the whole deal. This was the first property we put an offer on and we got exactly what we were looking for and right at our budget. We'd used Mike's wife, Shelly, for two previous home purchases. Shelly was also instrumental to this most recent deal. Mike and Shelly make an amazing team and we are devoted to them for our future property needs! My only less-than-perfect rating is on the standard realtor fee, which has nothing to do with Mike.

Michael did a stellar job prepping and selling my home in Redwood Shores. What I especially appreciated is that he provided detailed sales prep and marketing plans at our first meeting and a turn-key solution throughout the sales process. He provided someone to help me sort and pack for my move and, using his General Contractor background, brought in and managed several trades-people to prepare my home for the market. This really set him apart from the competition. After the sorting and packing was completed, I did not need to do anything else. In fact, I was out of town during the whole rest of the sale process! My home looked great and the buyers thought so too - my home sold in less than 2 weeks. I highly recommend him as he absolutely does much more than just sell your home!

Michael Sutton went all out for us. He was able to meet with us immediately and incorporated all our preferences into a search for our condo. He is extra knowledgeable about the area, having lived here most of his life. I appreciated his background as a general contractor when evaluating the quality of construction, as well as his willingness to drive us around on tours of neighborhoods and wherever else we needed to go. Perhaps most importantly, he and his wife, Shelly Potvin, are very connected in local real estate networks, which ultimately was crucial in us being the winning bid with twelve offers. We were pleasantly surprised at the in-depth techniques and strategies they used to help us buy our new home even though we were not the highest offer. We highly recommend Michael.

He was extremely helpful, professional, and personable and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He is extremely well educated and was willing and able to answer all questions I had. I definitely recommend Michael for all your realtor needs and I will without a doubt use him again the next time I purchase a home!

Michael was very patient and understood our needs right away. He helped us not only find the house, but also to see the pros and cons of each option we went through. He has a very good knowledge of repairs and renovation so it was easy to make decisions based on the needs of each home we saw. We finally chose a home and we're really happy with it. Thanks, Michael! We'll definitely work with you again for our next home search.
