"I personally know Mike. That made all the difference! I would not want anyone else helping me during this process.
Mike had a creative idea in marketing and selling the home after initial contracted buyer was not able to close due to a sudden job loss. This idea resulted in multiple offers and a selling price in excess of the original listing price."

"Mike Skillman has helped me both buy and sell my home and I couldn’t ask for a better agent! He is extremely knowledgeable, shares different negotiating scenarios and provides options, and puts his client first. What stands out to me the most is how helpful he his and his willingness to go out of his way to make sure I understood the process every step of the way. He is professional, easy to work with, and communicates well. There was never a text, call, email that wasn’t answered in a timely manner. I always felt like he really cared about helping me find the right house, not just trying to make a sale. I would highly recommend Mike Skillman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home as he’s helped me do both more than once!"

"Our experience with Mike Skillman was second to none. Mike was so patient with us (as buyer's agent) while we took our time (3 years) to find just the right house for our family. He knew exactly what we wanted and we always felt that he put our best intentions first. Mike definitely wins the gold medal for patience. Mike's experience as a seller's agent also helped to prepare our existing home to go on the market and navigate all the steps through closing. Mike sold our home in just over a week and made the entire process as simple as it can be.
Our family highly recommends Mike Skillman to anyone looking to either buy or sell a home in Lancaster county and beyond."

"Mike Skillman is one of the most polite and compassionate people we have ever dealt with in a professional manner. He puts his clients first whenever he can, and is honest and professional. We have worked with Mike in the past, and he has always made the process of buying and selling our homes as smooth as possible. We could not attend closing this time, so Mike made special accommodations for us to complete the required paperwork and attended settlement on our behalf. He is always punctual and professional. We put a lot of trust in Mike's guidance and knowledge of the real estate market for our last three homes and have never been disappointed."

"Before we started house searching, Mike sat us down and asked what we wanted in a house. As we were looking through homes, Mike always let us comment on what we liked in it and then brought up any concerns he had about it that we didn't think of which was super helpful as we were first time buyers. He actually saved us from buying a house that we had initially liked and were considering putting an offer in on by just talking about some of what we had initially talked about what we wanted and how that house may not meet some of those points. We are so glad he did because now instead of settling for a nice house, we have a house we really love! Mike never pushed us or showed any frustration in going with us to open houses that didn't work out. Also, super appreciate his persistence and understanding in getting our house settled! He also took less of a commission than he could have to get us the price we wanted. We would definitely use him again if we have any other needs!"

"My experience selling my home in the Lancaster, PA area with Mike Skillman was excellent. I used Mike as my purchasing realtor in 2016 and now as my selling realtor in 2018. I couldn't ask for a better realtor on either end of the transaction. Mike is extremely knowledgeable of the local market and does a very thorough search for comparable homes to be sure your home is priced within market levels. Communication through the entire process couldn't have been better. Mike consults his clients on all decisions and does an excellent job of explaining all of your options as well as the possible out come of those decisions. If you are buying or selling in the Lancaster, PA area I strongly recommend Mike Skillman."

"From the minute we met Mike Skillman we knew he was the guy we needed! Mike was at an open house that we attended back in March of 2018 . We had been working with someone else and were not particularly happy with their service. Mike was not pushy or forward. He was alway friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and professional and remained that way even when we knew we were driving him crazy! He knew what we were looking for and was great at recommending homes to tour and homes to avoid. Mike is a great guy and someone we would recommend to anyone who is looking for a new home. We would use him again without thinking twice."

Mike always kept us updated and responded quickly to any of our questions and concerns. Of course the most important thing is results. We had two full price offers the first week on the market and settled the deal on time. For these reasons we would heartily recommend Mike Skil!man to anyone needing realtor sevices."

"Mike was referred to us by a friend. We had not great experiences with realtors in the past. Mike was knowledgeable, professional, prompt with communication, and seemed to genuinely care about our sale and being as realistic about what to expect as possible. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking the guidance and expertise of a real estate agent.
I don't know anything about remax, but if Mike Skillman is a reflection of the company in any measure I think highly of the company as well.
An "excellent" rating is not substantial enough to describe my delight over our experience with Mike. He is a tremendous asset to anyone trying to sell a property!"

"Mike Skillman was always available to hear and address concerns. He also took time to come by for a walk through months prior to us putting the home on the market to give me an idea of some projects I may want to complete prior to listing. Although I'm a procrastinator and waited until the last minute to complete the projects, it was still helpful to have advanced knowledge of things and I appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile.
At one point Mike had called me around 8:00pm in the evening and the first thing I asked him was, "do you ever get time off?" The call at that hour was not a problem at all, but it goes to show that he's always accessible and willing to get his client the most update information regarding negotiations. This particular call was to let us know we had an agreement with a buyer. He seemed as excited as we were. You can tell he is invested in doing right by his clients.
Mike Skillman made sure that we were always in the know of what was happening and what to expect which made it a comfortable experience amidst the stress of selling a home."

"I would highly recommend Mike Skillman as a real estate agent for the purchase of one's home. He was knowledgeable, resourceful, persistent, discreet in communication, and positive in the process of finding a home. Mike's humor and calm personality made it a pleasure to work with him. His ability to be analytical in his evaluation of matching a house to our needs did not blind Mike to the fact that he was dealing with persons, sometimes unsure, sometimes confused, and sometimes simply tired. He handled problems with aplomb and communicated well and clearly with the representative of the sellers. Mike made the difficult process of finding a home in a new area a rewarding process in itself -- Mike is a true professional and a true person."

"Our experience as first time home buyers was excellent thanks to Mike. Everything went so smoothly. Mike was never pushy and allowed us to take our time when we would do a walk through and would do his best to give us as much info as he had available, or provide knowledge from past experiences. Mike gave us his time on evenings and weekends when needed to fit our schedules. Mike's Christian characteristics were something that we appreciated. I will use Mike again if/when the time comes to sell our house and purchase another one. Thanks for making our first time home buying so easy!"

"Mike Skillman has assisted me in selling several properties and in buying another. He has a very good knowledge of the current markets and has been able to give good suggestions for marketing and purchasing properties. He is positive yet realistic in his approach. He is friendly and easy to work with. Mike has made himself available and been prompt to answer questions and was great at following up with potential buyers. I sold my last property in a much shorter time than I expected, and was very pleased with the outcome of the sale.
The property I sold was an investment property, and I was not living in the area. With Mike's help I was able to sell the property smoothly, from start to finish, without needing to be present.
I would highly recommend Mike Skillman as a very competent agent. Mike really is great to work with!"

He was always quick to respond to emails or text messages which is a big plus for me. He was never late to our meetings. He always made us feel like we could go to him with any questions or concerns we had. The agent that was selling the house we bought was very unorganized and clueless it seemed and we were very thankful to have Mike on our side to help us through this. My parents recommended him to us and we would absolutely recommend him to other people we know."

He was efficient with my time when looking at homes, and was quick to caution me on anything he saw in a property that was of concern or consideration. I never felt like he was just trying to get me in contract with a home just to "make the sale" and move on.

"The purchase of a home is a big deal with a lot of details. So you really need someone knowledgeable in the procedure who is working on your behalf to walk through the process with you. I know Mike Skillman from his involvement in the community and I like him as a person. So he was the only broker I considered.
Now that I am actually sitting in my house, 24 hours after moving in, and looking back over how the last several months have played out, I could not be more pleased. To begin Mike signed me up to receive a weekly listing of homes in my price range and would sometimes call me before I received that weeks email to give me a heads up if there was a house he thought I might want to look at. When I saw a house on my own I would call him and he would give me the pros and cons that he was aware of. Mike made himself available to accommodate my schedule when looking at open houses and when I called on the phone to discuss issues related to the purchase. When I decided to make an offer we discussed the process thoroughly, and when it came time to sign all of the paperwork he took his time answering all of my questions. He made it as easy as possible and I couldn't have asked for more.
Mike was also the agent for the seller of my home and this duel relationship could lend itself to issues. However, I believe that Mike represented my interests fairly and I would imagine that the seller feels the same.
I went with Mike's recommendation for a lender (GMH Mortgage) and they were excellent to work with as well.
The bottom line is that I am very pleased with how the process of the purchase of my home played out, and that is a direct result of the efforts of Mike Skillman and the rest of the team at RE/MAX. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home."

"My husband and I were completely satisfied with our experience working with Mike as our Realtor. We heard about him from my cousin and her husband, who had used Mike as their Realtor for the sale of their home and purchase of another home. Her parents had purchased their home in Lancaster with Mike as well. We trusted my cousin's good judgement enough to call and meet him as soon as we moved to Lancaster County.
We really appreciated his calm and patient demeanor, and that he grew up in the Lancaster area and worked in the real estate industry for a significant amount of time. He asked many perceptive questions to gather information as to what we wanted. We never exhausted Mike's professionalism, in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, and patience (it took seven months and innumerable questions, emails back and forth, and on-site visits to houses until we found our house). He was also extremely proactive whenever we wanted to make an offer: he presented two offers for us on two different houses over the course of the seven months, and both times we won the bid over several other bids. The first house ended up being retracted from the market so we had to keep looking, but his guiding us through the situation was so helpful. When we bid on and won the second house, he made several key suggestions during the inspection process that saved us a good bit of money on the cost of the house. When settlement day came, the process was totally smooth, and we were very glad to have him in our corner. We're very thankful for our experience working with Mike."

"We have worked with Mike now for over 12 years and most recently he helped us purchase a new (to us) home. He patiently navigated the process with us. Buying a home always has it's surprises and difficulties, but this purchase was made even harder due to the home being sold by a (seemingly unmotivated) relocation company. He worked diligently to ensure proper and timely communication among all parties and was always careful to accurately represent our interests to the selling parties. This was the fourth home we have purchased in our lifetime and by far the most difficult to get to closing. Mike proved to be a true asset to us in this process."

Mike was always available, couteous, polite and patient.
Our time of working with Mike Skillman of RE/Max was relatively short. We appreciated having the guidance, insight and years of experience that Mike had to offer to see our home sale threw to completion, which is why we would recommend Mike."

"Mike was excellent to work with - very professional. We trusted him and his advice. Mike was great at communicating with us every step of the way and when we had questions he got back to us immediately - even if only to say he would find out the answer and let us know. In addition to his timely communication, he also offered himself to be present to help care for our pet during showings, be present to let an inspector into the house.... Mike took time to understand exactly what we were wanting and did not try to sway us otherwise. He took a risk in working with us because if the option to buy the house we were pursuing did not work out, we were not going to list our home at that time."

"As first time home buyers, my wife and I were very anxious about the whole home process-every step was a new experience for us. Mike did a wonderful job answering the barrage of questions that we threw at him. He very generously and respectfully walked us through everything so that we felt comfortable moving forward in the process. Mike did an excellent job of making himself available when we needed him. He always answered our phone calls, emails and texts quickly. We cannot thank Mike enough for getting us into our first house which immediately felt like home."

"Building a new home has been a dream of ours for a few years now. When we first started thinking about it about two years ago, we were unsure and had many questions as to whether it was the best decision for us. We had worked with Mike's father when we bought our first home and had a wonderful experience. We were confident that we would have those same experiences with Mike, and thankfully we did. Mike knew that we were only in the beginning stages a few years ago and never pushed us to make decisions we weren't ready to make. He periodically checked in with us to see where we were in the process and provided us with lists of homes/land that were available in our desired area. He never pushed his own agenda or made us feel like our timing was too slow. He sat with us through several builder meetings until we found the best fit for us and when we finally made the decision to build, he was knowledgeable and efficient throughout the decision-making process, as well as for the sale of our previous home.
Though selling an existing home and building new is full of decisions and stressful moments, Mike made the process much easier. It was a pleasure to work with him. His patience, understanding, and experience in the field makes him a highly desirable realtor in the Lancaster County area! We love our new home and truly appreciate his dedication and hard work on our behalf! Thank you, Mike!"

"Mike Skillman was highly recommended to us by several friends who had used his services in the past. When we met with Mike for the first time, we immediately saw why! He has a great personality and calm demeanor and is very easy to communicate with. We felt comfortable with him right away!
He listened and offered advice at the right times and went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly! We really had someone in our corner looking out for our best interests at all times!
We are very thankful to Mike for all his hard work in selling out 1st home and helping us purchase a new one! We've recommended him to several people so far and will continue to do so in the future!"

"Our experience purchasing a home with Mike Skillman was a positive, smooth one because of his calm demeanor and patience in running through the details and answering all of our questions along the way. He was accessible, had great connections, coached us very well when we placed an offer and was very honest in his feedback when we asked for his opinion on several properties. He has a discerning eye and knows how to lead the buyer well. We would absolutely go through him again if we were to sell or buy again in the future!"

"Our home search was long and comprehensive and Mike was a true partner through the entire process. He was patient and insightful as we contemplated the many considerations for a new home. Once we found a property, he was organized, knowledgable and effective with our inspections, negotiations and ultimately a settlement that went very smoothly.
While there are lots of RE agent options out there, we would strongly recommend the services of Mike Skillman!"

"Mike is nothing but stellar! He is attentive to detail, takes time to listen and offer professional advise in a non-persuasive way. He certainly had our best interest in mind. We loved working the 2nd time with Mike as much as the first.
Mike listened to our wants and made sure to accommodate them accordingly.
From the selling and buying side Mike has been nothing but stellar. My husband and I loved his feedback as he was professional but not persuasive. We would choose no one else other than Mike if we had to do it all over again."

"Mike spent a lot of time listening to all our concerns. He was always available to answer our call or stop by the house to talk. We most appreciated his honesty and integrity with every answer. It's very apparent that Mr. Skillman is experienced and therefor a Realitor of excellence!
As stated in last comments..." To be a Realitor of Excellence" Mike Skillman!!!
Mike sold our first home in 3 days. 10 years later we asked him to sell the home. We followed every suggestion he made. The home was under contract in 36 hours with only 2 showings.. and settlement was one month later! Well done."

"Mike Skillman has helped me three times in the sale/purchase of a home. He listens, and therefore knows what I want when looking to buy or sell my home. He really cares about his client's and that makes all the difference.
All issues with my sale and purchase were handled with complete satisfaction. I was kept informed of any "snags" and felt confident that the resolution was in my best interest. The office staff was always kind and professional.
I truly trust his knowledge and know he cares about my happiness. His client's have to be his best referral source."

"We used Mike to purchase our home recently. I never felt any pressure from him during the whole process to settle on a certain home, even though our search probably took a lot longer than most people usually take. He is very knowledgeable of the Lancaster county real estate market, and was able to effectively negotiate our transaction. The entire process was very smooth, and free of any headaches or setbacks.
In the end we found what we believe to be an excellent home that we are excited to be able to raise our family in."
