We met with Mike before we decided to list the home. He agreed with our strategy to renovate the kitchen (really dated) and advised of finishes and features to use to increase the home's value and competitiveness. Regardless of buyers' preferences, everyone loved the kitchen after we renovated. We could not have sold our home without him telling us the issues to address.
Always available, honest, very helpful and excellent negotiation skills. Highly recommend Mike.
Part of relocation and we're actually assigned another organization. It took them well over a week to assign a local realtor and then it seemed we were passed around. During that time local friends recommended Mike. When I had the relo company reassign us to Mike it took less than hours to hear from him and get the ball rolling. From that initial call I could tell we had the right realtor. This feeling remained through the entire process, especially during what was the easiest closing we've had as buyers. We've already recommended Mike to friends and appreciate all the help!
Mike is wonderful. We really enjoyed working with him. We felt very cared for and were well taken care of.
Mike was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the area and previous house sales was very helpful.
Mike is a dedicated Real Estate professional. A pleasure to deal with - he returns all communication in a timely manner. Very highly recommend him!!
I had worked with Mike Carruthers to buy the house I sold, at the recommendation of a friend. That experience went very well. I have always been impressed by Mike and I would not have worked with anyone else to sell my house as long as Mike was available. We had a few challenges after the purchase offer with inspections and subsequent demands from the purchaser, and with getting the title work done. Mike was a great adviser and champion all through the process. He got things done in a most satisfactory way with a calm demeanor, quiet confidence and no drama. Mike generates great credibility and trust with his knowledge and professional manner. Mike gave me some recommendations for work I should do to stage the house properly and maximize market value. Because of my confidence in Mike I followed his recommendations, and I was very pleased with how quickly the house sold and how much the house sold for. From my first consult with Mike in the summer of last year, through the renovations beginning in January, to the closing on the sale of my house in April of this year, Mike was there whenever I needed him for advice and direction. He helped me pick out paint colors, kitchen appliances, and materials for the house renovations. He never pushed and he always helped. I cannot say enough good things about the fine man and realtor that is Mike Carruthers. I deeply appreciate his work and I recommend him highly.
