Michael was great to work with, friendly and helpful in our home buying process.

Mike wasn't pushy when we first contacted him, he listened to what we were looking for and helped steer us towards that rather than trying to push us towards something we didn't want. Mike was very friendly in every contact we made. He was very accommodating considering our work schedules and different time zones. Never took long to get an answer from him for anything. Can't stress enough how friendly and helpful he was steering us around the market in knoxville especially considering our extreme lack of knowledge in the area.

We reached out to the Vanderkooys to sell our Oak Ridge home based on an internet search. After meeting Michael and Sherri we knew they were the team for us. Michael subsequently listed our home and was absolutely outstanding. Selling a house is difficult even in times of market stability. During this time of volatility, we had serious concerns and reservations. Michael's knowledge, energy, and clear communication made the process so much easier. Especially challenging was the fact that we moved 1,400 miles away just before listing. Michael was just a text or call away. He was promptly available, very approachable, and willing to go above and beyond. When severe weather struck the area, Michael went to the property and made sure safeguards were in place to prevent damage. Michael knows and understands the market he serves. His friendly, easygoing style makes him a pleasure to work with. So happy we met the Vanderkooys, highly recommend it without reservations. If we ever return to the east TN area, he will be our first call!

Michael was extremely patient and responsive. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy and/or sell their homes.

I would highly recommend Michael to any family and friends looking to relocate. He went above and beyond for us and truly made my first home buying experience a wonderful one. He is thorough, paid close attention to detail, ensured we got the most for our money and was diligent in handling all correspondence in a timely manner.

Micheal made selling our house a breeze! Any problem we had Micheal made sure to stay on top of the right people and got it done! I would recommend anyone selling or buying a house to call Micheal today! He'll take care of you just like he did us!

Great guy and would now consider him my friend!! Thanks again Michael!!

Michael Vanderkooy is top notch in the real estate field. In an extremely competitive housing market, he goes above and beyond to best serve his clients and assist them in finding their new home. Working with Michael, I was under contract on my dream home in less than 72 hours. From my first conversation with Michael, he was in step with what I needed in a home. Honesty, courtesy, friendliness, and knowledge of the area are all in Michael's wheelhouse. Michael's professionalism is a rare find these days. He knew what I needed in a home, and was honest about the homes we visited. Michael wasn't out to "make the sale", his goal was to help me find the best home for my family. Beyond my highest expectations, everyone I encountered at Century 21 Legacy was absolutely the best in their field. I've bought and sold several homes and this was by far my best experience. Thank you Michael and the Century 21 Legacy team!
