Michael was with us through the entire process of finding our home, even as our needs changed with life events like a new job and having kids. He is professional, patient, and very knowledgeable about the market, houses, and even construction details. He never pressured us and always remembered the key details of what we were looking for (even as we kept updating our criteria). Michael’s expertise stood out as we explored different regions and towns. He was resourceful and always had the right information. When it came to closing, he guided us through everything and made the whole process incredibly smooth. What really made him special is how he became a trusted advisor throughout this journey. We have already recommended him to anyone we know looking for a home, and honestly am going... Show More

Working with Mike Kowalski was an excellent experience. We had a challenging sell of a condo. in northern NJ where 3 realtors were deeply entrenched in the condo. complex. After having researched and interviewed 8 realtors, including the entrenched group, we opted to work with Mike. Our personalities clicked instantly. Mike met our every expectation throughout the arduous process. He is courteous without fail, extremely knowledgeable about the regional market and its nuances, realistic, diligent, patient and very responsive. He did everything we had anticipated, and in the end all parties were pleased with the result. We could ask for nothing more. If we were to have another opportunity to work with Mike, we would not hesitate at all!

Our experience with Michael couldn't have been better. As soon as I met him and spoke with him, I knew he would do a great job.. He was knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and extremely personable. He always responded to our calls immediately and answered any questions we had, and we had plenty! We never sold a house before and there was so much we didn't know. Michael was patient, broke down everything and anything we might have to do and helped us through the process from day one to the closing. He went above and beyond to be there for us. I can't recommend him enough.

Mike was the type of real estate you want as a buyer. He is pleasant to work with, but more importantly very knowledgeable about the market and yet listened to us when reviewing properties which helped sort out options, all the while being a strong advocate Mike was easy to reach and responsive to all of our questions and there were many. He also worked well with the sellers agent keeping the process moving along, especially important once we decided on the property of choice. Mike even assisted with recommendations for all other parties such as lawyers, financing, inspectors, title etc all the while letting us select whomever we were most comfortable with. Lastly, Mike helped keep the entire process on schedule and in perspective. Redfin provided excellent support throughout the... Show More

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

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.

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 don't know where to start. Working with Mike might have honestly been one of the best life decisions I've ever made. I'm glad I bought a home, but mostly thankful to Mike for making it happen. 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. If you want to be listened to, instead of being told what to do, this is your man! Many agents may work hard for their client, but Mike is the real power star of NJ, and will go countless nights for you to not only FIND the house you love, but also SECURE it. He will assist you from tours, to triaging, to negotiating, and to much more extents. Although he may know the real estate industry forwards and backwards, he will teach you... Show More

He’s the best! Very patient and very organized.When I told him that my Mom died and we can’t go to the tour ,he offered if he can help/ support anything.Though we’re good but offering during our trying times it meant a lot to us.He was more than a sales agent but a friend and family. Keep it up!

From the first encounter, Mike set himself apart from the rest! We immediately felt like he was someone that was on our team and he proved that by standing up for us every step of the way while dealing with the sellers. He's easy-going and VERY knowledgeable. He kept us updated throughout the whole process (and we all know how long and frustrating the process can be) and never let us feel stressed or worried. I'm so glad we had someone like Mike as our agent and COMPLETELY recommend him to anyone looking.

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

He gave excellent advise to close on our ideal home and wasn't pushing us to anything that we weren't 100% comfortable with. He worked diligently to make sure we were happy with our choice and was very responsive to all our questions or concerns during the whole process. I will definitely use his services again when I have any real estate needs.

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 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.

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.
