Michael Verdone

Michael is professional, dedicated, and very experienced in the real estate world. He was a great advocate and helped the entire process go smoothly.

Overall opinion: Strongly recommended. Background: I worked with Michael to purchase a condo in Mountain View, CA. I toured multiple properties with Michael, and as a first time home buyer I asked for advice on a few steps along the way. Pros: Michael as is a highly experienced realtor with an extensive network and strong knowledge of the bay area real estate market. He is also a skilled negotiator that knows what it takes to close deals. Throughout the process, he was responsive and took an appreciated honest and blunt approach to communication. Cons: Michael is very familiar with sales in hot markets like the bay area. However, as someone who moved fairly recently to the bay area, waiving contingencies during bidding was not something I was familiar with. When working with Michael, I recommend buyers research contingencies and timing clauses independently and then have a discussion with Michael before bidding to get a better understanding of the risks.

Michael was great to work with. After communicating my goals (>2b/2b condo in a nice neighborhood at a reasonable price point) and expectation (to be able to close the property in ~1 month) to him, he listened and delivered!

I have known him about twelve years. During twelve years I bought three houses and sold four houses. He is very good sense in real estates business. I could buy a house in good price. And I could sell a house in good price. I will recommend him to everyone.

We had a great time working with Michael. He made sure we had all the information we needed, while making sure we didn't get overwhelmed with all the information we didn't need! Michael was also great at helping us see the potential in homes that were in need of renovation but bigger than we had originally thought we could afford with our budget :)
