Redfin Principal Agent
Michael Kowalski

All2023 (12 Homes)
We were so fortunate to cross paths with Mike. Our past experience with a different agency (buying our first home) was horrendous. But listing our home this time with Mike was such a blessing. He’s a very busy person, but we never felt neglected because of his timely responses. He made sure whatever steps he took were all in our best interest. All the advices he gave us were all genuine. He’s honest about both bad and good things. His passion in this business just emanates in all he does, and it shows very well with the results he achieves. He watches the market very well so he gives the best recommendation on listing prices that we sold our house $40K over asking. We felt protected, guided and well-cared for by a loyal and trusted agent/friend.

I would highly recommend Mike to hire if you need a agent who is cool headed and brings matter to your attention only if needed and at the same time, he never panicked or made me panic or urge but at the same time he set the realistic expectations. Glad I hired Mike and gave me the right advise to list the property and what to expect from the current market situation.

I would like to express a sincere thank you to Michael Kowalski, Perla, and Leslie. Michael, for his industry expertise and business savvy that resulted in a significant selling price increase from an offer I was entertaining at one point. To Perla, for her availability in lending a reassuring voice and real-time communication throughout the process. To Leslie, for allowing me to vent about my previous employment experience and ridiculous sales manager and sharing the Redfin culture and setting expectations. All were aware of my personal situation and treated me with professionalism, patience, and respect. Redfin should be proud of its representation and the stellar team led by Michael that got me through the selling process. I would use Redfin again and again for my real estate buying... Show More

Mike has been one of the best agents we have worked with. My wife I were looking for a house for almost 9 months with our prior agent who was quite a disappointment. Looking for a change, along comes Mike. From day one, Mike made the effort to get to know us, our needs and restrictions in terms of budget, timelines, etc. Mike is very knowledgeable and well-connected in the real estate network in New Jersey. He was proactive in sharing new/upcoming listings and was always fair and objective, and would give us the right guidance that built a high degree of confidence in him. He was also very patient and never once did he kick up a fuss with our requests and/or last minute changes. Finally, when we were putting down on an offer on our current home, Mike's diligence and his knowledge of the... Show More

We had a fantastic experience working with Mike. He was awesome to work with, very professional, knew the neighborhood and provided great advice. We talked about selling our house over a year ago, Mike proactively reached out and made working across the country and across time zones seamless. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike!
Mike was awesome and helped us with some great tips to save money on the house. He was always candid with his advise and never seemed pushy to wrap up the transaction. We always felt like we could bank on him for his opinion. At times, we do wish we got more time for discussion certain issues, but we understand that's not always possible in a hot real estate market and, generally with Redfin's volumes. Mike helped us navigate what turned out to be a rather complicated transaction. In conclusion, I would recommend using Mike's services.

Bought my 4th home with Mike. Go to agent for any home you would want in NJ.
Michael repeatedly told us “trust me” along the entire process and we are very glad we did. His professionalism and personable approach made the process seamless, which yielded a higher return than we ever expected. Any hesitation or questions we had were met with clear data and expertise that resulted in a successful transaction. Courtesy of his work and dedication, we are in a better financial position than we could’ve imagined.

Overall, he is a ‘gem’ to the agency and I would recommend his great work ethics and fabulous personality to all my friends and family. Also, he was such a great team player and responded to all my phone calls and text messages.

Mike is on top of prices and the market situation. Also, his ideas about presenting the home are really good.
Michael made the whole process of selling on Redfin a real breeze. He was always honest at every step and got us a selling price well above asking. We felt from the very start that he was well versed in reality and confident in his actions. He knows what works and what doesn't so you must consider his advice when he gives one. Beyond that, he was punctual, respectful, and well organized. Trust him with your listing and you'll gain a very experienced realtor and perhaps even a friend. He is now the defacto realtor for all our family. Thank you Michael!

Michael, is a great human being. He is easy going, will listen to all comments, suggestions and is willing to work with very difficult people (i.e me) We started our home search from out of state so doing we were at home tours every weekend we were able to come up. Some weekend we scheduled 8 home tours within a weeked. We started our search in March and found our forever home at the end of may, after some challenges out of our control we finally closed on our house in August. Michael is responsive, supportive and super pleasant. Never once do you feel that he is not on your side.

I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Michael! I am a first-time homebuyer with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. I met with a couple of realtors before Michael, but I knew instantly that he was the one for me. He was responsive to my needs and was always available when I needed him. He is honest and hands-on and really helped to take the pressure off of me while searching for my new home. I never felt forced to make an offer and when I finally found the "one", Michael walked me through every step of the negotiation process even suggesting that I write a letter to the seller to explain why I thought he should choose me. It was an unconventional approach but it worked and can't thank Michael enough!! He worked hard for me and never gave up even when I... Show More

I've worked with many agents, but he stood out the most given his energy, his unstoppable-ness, his impeccable instincts of the market, and lastly his thoughtfulness.

Mike was absolutely amazing! I found him randomly on a google search and had also reached out to a few other real estate companies at the same time. He was the ONLY one that responded quickly, professionally, and with zero pressure. He was informative and ready when I was to go on home tours! During a very busy time for realtors, he always made time for us and worked around OUR schedule which is tough to do in general given we have a toddler. We were super indecisive on a town in North Jersey so he helped us see about 20-30 homes in person within 10 towns we were interested in. He is also super knowledgeable on houses in general so was able to point out negative things during initial showings that wouldn’t have caught our attention. He was never pushy or negative about having to show us... Show More

We had the BEST experience with this agent. Mike is an agent that goes above and beyond for his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, pleasant, professional, humble and polite. He has a deep understanding of the local market. He made so many things work for us when others didn’t even try. Mike was instrumental in our decision making and we never felt pushed in any way or form . He is a great negotiator. He got us the best deal and helped knock off the price on the first house we tried to buy, but ended backing out. He is very good at home value analysis and helped us save so much money by not letting us offer more than we should’ve. He found a few issues with the house the inspector didn’t catch while we did the final walk through of the house and insisted on asking for more... Show More

Michael was very flexible and accommodating. He was always willing to tailor to our needs and was always positive. Very personable and I would not hesitate to ask for his services again or refer him to someone else.

Michael was very knowledgeable and patient with us throughout the entire process. During our first few house visits, Michael explained various technical aspects and what to look for and more importantly what to avoid. We were originally looking in specific towns/areas and it was Michael who actually suggested Oradell which is where we ultimately found our house. Michael was also very responsive, especially at the end of the process when it mattered the most.

My wife and I loved Mike so much that we want to be his friends. He’s coming to Christmas dinner, he just doesn’t know it yet. I would recommend him to anybody in a heartbeat. He was honest, dedicated, responsive, and fun to deal with. We joked about how we were his only clients because he was always available to talk to us. That’s a testament to his dedication to his clients. Seriously though, we’re the only ones, right? When we scheduled tours on short notice and there were no agents available, Mike stepped in to make sure someone was there for us. We submitted multiple offers and Mike never once made us feel pressured. As first time buyers, this process was nerve-racking, but Mike walked us through every step of the way. Not only does he know the market, but he also knows people. We... Show More

Michael is an absolute gem of a person and the best realtor I have ever worked with to buy a home. I have used dozens of realtors including others at Redfin and Michael is simply, the best, the gold standard, the creme de la creme of Realtors. Here are a few reasons why I highly recommend him and will work with him again and again in buying real estate: Client focus - Michael really took the time to get to know all of our needs and wishes when it came to buying a home to tailor our search. He really put us first above all else, so much so that he even worked many nights and even during his time off for us. He really puts his clients first and above all else. Negotiation skills, honesty and integrity - I always felt he was on our side and never felt any pressure from him. He really works... Show More

Michael was a first class realtor for my wife and I who had been house hunting since October 2019. They say 3rd time is the charm as we struck out two times with other realtors who’s service was sub par compared to Mike and his Redfin associates. We owe a great deal of gratitude for Michael fighting and negotiating to find the perfect home for us. He was very patient never pushy and always gave detailed insight and dissected each home we put a bid on win or lose to feel comfortable with whatever outcome there was. We landed a gorgeous home corner Lot in Lyndhurst that we felt relief when we closed on 3/6 and even til the last day Michael was grinding non stop to ensure we had the Proper paperwork to close. My wife discusses all the time and says without Mike where in the hell would be... Show More

Michael was so amazing to work with! The whole process started with my husband and me "casually" checking out homes for next year and accidentally booking with Michael while playing with the Redfin app. Since then Michael really held our hands throughout the entire process as first time buyers and really gave us resourceful and honest recommendations and opinions. Although we ended up buying "outside" of Michael's normal area of NJ, he was amazing and went out of his way to Central NJ to help make our dreams a reality. He didn't pass us off to the "next" person and really stuck with us. Looking forward to using Michael in our future search for a bigger home down the line!
Thanks again for being so responsive and readily available.

Michael has been an absolute pleasure to work with. During our early days of our search, he was quite proactive with us, taking time to understand our needs ( soft needs, as well as hard specific needs ) and then recommend options to us. And as we process rolled on, he enabled us to trim out distractions and focus on core needs. He has also been very responsive to our changing needs - taking time to understand, and then to adjust to our needs. We have seen a numerous set of houses, and he and his team has always been there adjusting to our schedules and making sure that we get what we need, all the time. We have been very comfortable communicating to him - he has been very responsive, and always willing and ready to go out of his official timing, and out of way to help us on the process... Show More

We highly recommend Michael Kowalski. Mike has been nothing but wonderful throughout our home buying process. He took the time and efforts to understand our expectations, budget and limitations and has gone above and beyond to make sure our expectations were met. From negotiating the offer, to getting things sorted post inspection to ensuring a timely closure - Mike has always been on top of his game. He was always available to answer questions and explain things. We are very thankful to him for ensuring that we got the best deal and for a very smooth home buying process. It has been great to work with Mike. Good luck for success in the future.
