Personally, this is the 2nd time I worked with Michael to buy a condo. Both experiences were great. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions about the process and how things worked and Michael was very patient and happy to explain it all to me in detail. During the latest process, he made it a point to talk through other scenarios/opportunities that helped us get a good view of the full picture and that really helped us make the decision. I have recommended other friends to Michael and they have had nothing but great things to say. Another good reason to work with Michael is his network - he knows attorneys, painters, inspectors as well handymen to help with anything and everyone I worked with was thoroughly professional. All in all - I think the realtor needs to understand the... Show More

Michael was very patient with us, Toomey is to several properties and was also very knowledgeable about each individual property he showed us. I highly recommend him!
Michael was absolutely amazing! From the day we first visited the condo through closing and after. Michael regularly reached out to us checking in or updating us with any information which we greatly appreciated. We had some troubles with our mortgage company and Michael even reached out to them on our behalf trying to get everything figured out, which he did not have to do but was very very kind of him to go above and beyond. Michael was very committed to getting us to closing and was a great help literally every step of the way. I would recommend Michael to anyone in the Chicago area looking to buy or sell a home.

Michael knows what he’s doing. Before working with Michael, I was with a realtor who did not have my best interest in mind and was pushy to close a deal quick. It was evident that Michael would rather have me make the right choice rather have a speedy closing process. He guided throughout the process without pressuring me one way or another. Even after closing I still turn to him for help! I couldn’t be more happy with my experience, home, and house work recommendations. I recommend Michael 110%.

Michael was a total dream to work with. He was enthusiastic, available, and patient. We took over a year to find a place, but he always encouraged us to go with our gut instead of just trying to get us to buy something to get us off his plate. He was also very knowledgeable and was able to counsel us on so many aspects of home ownership, renovation, and on and on. He is a wonderful agent.

Mike is very friendly and knowledgeable about the Chicago market. I started the search with him around March and closed my condo at the end of July. During the process, he is very patient and answered a lot of questions that I have as a first time home buyer. He provided me a lot of good suggestions on how to improve my condo. His suggestions are really realistic and helpful. For example, I originally wanted to replace all my appliance to stainless and change the floor to carpet. He suggested that I need to think about my investment return on this kind of spending. When my condo is closed, he even bought me a bottle of wine, which is totally unexpected. Whenever I had a question and I texted him, he always replied very quickly. He also helped me a lot in the price negotiation. I would... Show More

Michael was simply outstanding!
We were looking for an investment property to rehabilitate. Michael showed us a wide variety of potential units in a wide variety of neighborhoods. When it came time to purchase he gave fantastic advice about what to expect regarding our purchase of a foreclosed property and counseled us on strategies for effectively and cost effectively rehabilitating what had been a neglected condo.
In addition he is incredibly responsive, thorough, and simply a nice guy.

We will do more business with him again... For sure!
I use michael as my agent to purchase properties for investment purposes. This is my 14th property and once again a big money maker. He has the right formula and know how as well as apparently some sort of magical intuition to find the best investments. Making more than my retirement portfolio!

He is the best person to work with. His years of experienced and knowledge made the process super easy. He was always accessible any time of the day and helped solve any problems that came up. Thanks!
Michael was informative and helpful in completing my purchase I'm an out of state client his assistance was valuable
Narrowed down exactly what I was looking for and was able to find me a great deal!
Very efficient and didn't waste anyone's time!
Michael gave top notch advice & was extremely responsive whenever we had a question. We had a tall order to fill based on our price range & neighborhood we wanted. He patiently worked with us & showed us places whenever & wherever we wanted. When the time came to pull the trigger on the right place, Michael handled the situation quickly & efficiently & we got the place. We bought the place the first day it was listed, & more offers came in within hours of ours. He had the contract signed & finished within a couple of hours of us seeing the place. He's the reason we landed this place. If he were a lesser agent, I suspect we would have entered a "highest & best" multiple offer situation. Because of Michael we got a great place at a killer price. We are now his clients for life.

Michael worked with me for many months and through some strange situations to help me find my new home. I can't count the number of properties we looked at together in order to find the right one. I was never pressured to go into something I didn't like and he would tell me his honest opinion on everything we saw. We had one property under contract, but due to some interesting things in the building, the loan was not approved. He kept up the search until I found something. I could not have asked for a better agent and I will be using him for all my future real estate needs.

Michael is an amazing agent with the homeowner in mind. He was willing to show me properties that peaked my curiosity even though they may not have fit my criteria, which helped me decide what I did and didn't want. He was patient and thoughtful with his responses to all my questions and ultimately we found the ideal house.

Michael did a great job in all aspects. Very positive experience
Far as I'm concerned Mike is the ONLY agent! He went above and beyond and far exceeded my expectations, which were pretty high. Very knowledgeable, hard working and responsive, and just an all around good guy. It was a pleasure working with him and knowing that he worked his tail off to get me into the house I wanted in what seemed to be a flawless manor. So yes, I would highly recommend Michael to anyone without hesitation.

Working with Michael was a great experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to helping his clients make a home purchase that is right for them. I never felt like Michael was trying to "sell" us a home; he simply provided information and let us make an informed decision. He was always available, day or night, and made every attempt to work around our schedule.

Michael did a great job finding me another great home to flip, and once again his instincts where dead on both during the buying and selling process. Walking away with another pocket full of cash! Clearly an expert in his business, and better than so many other agents that are more interested in their interests than mine. Promptly answers or returns calls, expert across the entire process and able to advise me even in areas other tan just his role like legal expectations, inspections, and mortgage brokers. Thanks!

Michael is very knowledgable about Chicago real estate and home buying in general. He's got some great contacts who made our closing go as smoothly as possible. He is very flexible on scheduling; we would often call about a place in the morning, and be touring it before lunch. Michael is laid back an made our first home buying experience very comfortable.

Michael has done a fantastic job finding me the perfect investment properties that give me a significant return. I have been making more money on my flips than in my regular job, how is that for some extra spending money! So far I am six properties in now all with double digit financial returns from $12k to $ 60k. Low risk, high rewards. Michael is always available, responsive, and seems to have the inside scoop to give me the edge. Keep it up!
Michael was extremely generous with his time, knowledge and friendliness. I was a first-time home buyer, and Michael explained every step of the process to me. He always got back to me when I needed him, and he frequently took the initiative to make sure I was up to speed.

Michael is an experienced real estate agent who is one of the few who know the Chicago real estate market, and his civil engineering background is valuable asset in weeding problem properties.
I worked with him for few weeks to find the right property and he was punctual, informed, provided great advice, and full support at closing time.
I strongly recommend him to any buyer who is searching for a value buy, and looking for an agent with honest professional advice.
Looking forward to work with him on my next property search.

We had a good experience with Michael Gerhardt, we established a good communication from the beginning and he was very flexible, knowledgeable and punctual.
His experience helped us move fast with the process of finding and making our offers for the properties we liked. He covered with us different areas and a wide range of prices until we found the "one" house we really liked and the best fitted our family.

Michael demonstrated a strong commitment to customer service. He was willing to go an extra mile to deliver positive results for us (my wife and I) as clients. He kept us up to speed on the transaction every step of the way. He will be our first point of contact for any future deal.
Michael was highly available to me pretty much whenever I had questions and was quick to respond to a myriad of text messages or phone calls answering all my questions with patience and expertise throughout the experience. He was happy to take me out around town as needed to find the right property and had great advice along the way. He always made me feel like he had my best interest at heart, not just out to sell a property but rather in it for the long term relationship. He is very honest which is refreshing. Definitely someone I would recommend and use again.
Michael is very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and real estate in general and was able to advise me better than any other agent I have worked with in the past. As I was looking for an investment property, michael was able to show what, how, and why I should choose the one I did and exactly what my profits would be, etc. he has a magic spreadsheet model that makes me rich and has an innate sense of what to avoid which is priceless to have an agent that is actually looking out for your best interests and not just trying to make a quick buck. He is in it for the long term relationship so you know you can trust him.

Michael did a great job. He was professional very informative and kept us in the loop during the process (we purchased a forclosure)
Michael was challenging to communicate with. He shared very little feedback with me from those who saw the property. I repeatedly requested information on number of showings, which I never did receive. His follow-up during the negotiation process was lacking. During the interview process, ho talked about so many marketing ideas, but I truly don't think he ever implemented anything more than the usual listing. He did have great photos of the property. Michael is a lovely person, but I would not recommend him.

Michael Gerhardt was a professional in every aspect of the word. His knowledge on property and buildings in the Chicagoland area was priceless. He got to know us as clients and made recommendations as to which type of units we should see. I travel with my company and my wife is a full-time housewife, but Michael always found time with our busy schedules to set up appointments for us. I would highly recommend him to anybody looking for property in the Chicagoland area.
Couldn't have been an easier experience. Michael made purchasing a short-sell condo as easy as imaginable. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking any new home.

As we toured different places I turned to him and said "After meeting some of these other realtors at these properties, I'm so lucky to have you as mine." I've recommended him a number of times since to friends in Chicago that are thinking about buying.
