Reviews
Client trust is the strongest proof.
These reviews reflect the way I work: clear communication, local knowledge, honest guidance, practical strategy, and steady support from first conversation to closing.
Every Zillow review on file is five stars.
Closing day
A real moment behind the reviews.
The reviews on this page describe what working together feels like. The closings behind them are the part you don't usually see — keys handed over, paperwork done, a real outcome on a real day.

Real clients. Real keys. Real Portland blocks.
A few of the moments behind the reviews — families and first-time buyers on the day a house became theirs.

Michael helped us tremendously in the search and purchase of our home. We had very specific requirements, including a fully finished ADU in a desired neighborhood. It was our first home purchase, and he guided us through every step — area knowledge, negotiation, repairs, the whole path to closing. We would absolutely work with him again.
Buyer reviews
From the buy side.
Buyers point to early exploration, neighborhood context, and negotiation that protects their interests first.
★★★★★
Steady communication, deep neighborhood knowledge, and honest advice — including the times he told us a property was wrong for us, even when walking away cost him a paycheck.
★★★★★
It was a real pleasure to work with Michael. I gave him an aspirational checklist of wants. He found me a home that met every goal, and a few I didn't know I wanted. He got me the right home, in the right location, for the right price. Thank you, Michael.

We really enjoyed working with Michael as a realtor. He is honest about if he thinks something is not a good deal rather than trying to convince us to buy something we don’t like or is not what we are looking for. He is thorough in his research, when we were considering a 1940’s home with one bathroom, Michael brought out contractors to offer quotes on what adding a bathroom would cost so we could take that into consideration when making an offer on the home. As first home buyers we flooded his inbox with endless questions and he was always ready to answer them with patience and highly knowledgeable answers. Michael has good working relationships with folks in all kinds of related fields which we have really benefitted from. He suggested a great home inspector for us and has offered recommendations in many other areas. We would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for an experienced, honest, and hard working realtor. We were lucky to have him on our team and he made buying our dream house a reality.
Seller reviews
From the sell side.
Sellers point to preparation, ROI judgment, and a listing record that reflects how the homes were positioned before they hit the market.
★★★★★
Michael told us which updates would actually move the price and which were wasted money. He brought in the right people, kept the prep on time and on budget, and the sale proved him right.
★★★★★
Michael was incredible! Literally a miracle worker. I had a condo on the market for 8 months under another agent. I decided to change realtors, found Michael, he had multiple offers within a week and closed the sale in under 2 months since I met him! As my agent, he was extremely attentive, communicative, and worked relentlessly to get my sale done. He made this stressful process easy for me. I can't imagine a better agent. Don't miss the privilege of working with this man, you will not be disappointed!
