If I could give Michael more than five stars I would! My parents hired Michael to sell their home, and we could not have had a better experience. He was patient and kind with my parents and the many questions we had. He was especially patient with my father who has memory issues. He kept us informed through every part of the process. Michael even helped the people who were purchasing my parents property with the sale of their house!
Everything Michael did was professional, from the video of the house, the postings on social media, to the showings and open houses.
Michael treated my parents with respect, and was mindful that it was hard for them to sell their home of 45+ years. I highly recommend Michael to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home!
I hired Michael Seward to sell my 1870 home because he specializes in historic homes. He wa exceptional - professional and knowledgeable - and produced a video that attracted immediate offers resulting in a quick sale. He was also especially helpful in keeping the sale on track when I was hospitalized at the worst possible moment. I will hire him again when I decide to sell my next home. 2022
If you look at the reviews of Michael Seward on the various Realtor platforms you will see lots of superlatives. They are earned, as we found out when we listed a property with him and then had to leave for a month. He took care of everything, was ahead of the curve on everything, even fixed some things that I couldn't get to. Even our attorney appreciated his thoroughness - praise indeed! His lower commission rate is simply a bonus. 2022
With the sale of our familys property now complete, we want to take the opportunity to express our appreciation for the outstanding job Michael Seward Real Estate did in representing our interests and getting the transaction completed in a timely and efficient manner. Michaels knowledge of real estate sales was immensely helpful, from guiding us on market trends for price points to informing us of documents required to make the process seamless. He was creative, detailed oriented and professional from the beginning to the end. He provided the communication necessary to achieve all conditions that were aspects of the sale. We were particularly pleased with Michaels thoughtfulness to the fact that the property had been in our family for over seventy years. His outstanding video showed the care he took to express this by displaying the home and property in a visually appealing manner that buyers could appreciate. If you are looking for a broker/agent to sell your home, Michael Seward Real Estate should be your first choice.
Michael is a knowledgeable Real Estate professional with superb communication skills and deep awareness of the local market. He provided an in-depth market analysis and thoughtfully guided us every step of the way. I appreciated Michaels ability to navigate some unexpected challenges and offer us alternative solutions which enabled us to always maintain forward momentum. He worked seamlessly with all parties involved in the sale of the property and made the process far less stressful than I anticipated it would be, given that I lived across the country. This profession is a natural fit for Michael and his success speaks for itself. 2022
We strongly recommend Michael Seward to our friends in the Pioneer Valley looking for a great realtor. Michael made a positive impression on me seven years ago during the open house of the home we purchased. Since then we noticed the large number of local listings he represented, and the quality of the narrated video tours he produced himself. Our recent sale was under extreme time pressure, and Michael was the first realtor we interviewed. He was also the last since the quality of his market assessment was thorough and convincing, and his rate was much lower than the typical rate in our area. Michael's service throughout the sale process was superb in every way. From friends and family selling houses during this same time, we heard many examples of how their realtor let them down and didn't represent their best interest -- this made us appreciate even more the great job Michael was doing. He was always just a text, email or call away, and responsive with advice and information that was on the mark. He was proactive on every issue, reminding us of things we needed to do, but also the other professionals involved in the transaction. This continuous attention to every detail greatly reduced the stress of the situation and produced a positive outcome for us. 2021
I found Michael Seward after unsuccessful results from multiple realtors. Michael was professional and communicative. He created a video that showed both my property and the area/ town it inhabited. Pretty amazing! He also included a video tour with each posting. When I had to get some work done he provided the solution. In the end he also provided multiple offers. I could not recommend Michael more to those wanting to get the job done. 2021
This was the first time I purchased a home on my own. Because of that I had many questions, and every time I reached out to Mike he was able to help explain and guide me through the process. He was extremely diligent in ensuring the transaction continued moving forward without any issues. I plan on purchasing another home within the next two years, and I will absolutely use Mike for this purchase too. 2020
We were extremely lucky to get the opportunity to work with Mike. He helped us find our first home in the midst of the pandemic. Throughout the rapidly changing housing market, Mike worked hard to find us houses that fit our needs, keep up with the changing health requirements and best practices around house viewing at the time, and, when we found the right house, he worked tirelessly to ensure we got it for the best price possible. It was a real joy to work with Mike! 2020
I cannot thank Michael enough for his time or thoughtfulness as my buyers agent this spring 2020. Michael has proven to be more than a seasoned agent, as he supersedes the definition of an expert at real estate. I never felt rushed into liking a house, I never felt unsatisfied with his service, and I never felt like he didnt have time for me. His level of expertise, devotion, and character sets him apart from other agents in the area & is the reason for the purchase of my first home. As cheesy as it sounds, Michael did not help me buy a house- he helped me buy a home. Michael, thank you so much for your time. I absolutely plan on referring all of my friends to you! 2020
Working with Mike to purchase our first home was a fantastic decision and we highly recommend him to any prospective home buyers. As remote buyers, my wife and I could only travel to the area for one weekend to view homes. Mike was able to setup 10+ viewings in a single weekend and even added homes to the itinerary which appeared on the market the day prior. He also setup a remote viewing of a home which came to market following our visit. His overall knowledge of homes including identifying potential issues, his vast experience in the local market and his expansive network of real estate contacts within the region was a huge asset when it came to selecting the right house for us and making the best offer. Throughout the process, Mike was in constant communication with us to address any of our questions, always listened to our concerns and he was extremely helpful in keeping our lender on target for closing. 2020
Michael was helpful from day one till the day we got our keys!
He was able to help us navigate first time buying our home and we could not have been more satisfied. From the beginning, it was clear to us that Michael was quick to respond and was working extremely hard to get us our answers and help us with every step. He was thoughtful, professional and most of all direct and clear.
He truly cared about our needs as clients and advocated for us whenever needed. He was able to help us get through some of the issues we had with our lender and lawyer. He was the main reason our home buying experience was not horrible considering the many issues we faced. He takes on a challenge and has extensive knowledge when it comes to the process of buying a home.
I would recommend Michael to anyone who is buying/selling a home. An amazing realtor and a great guy! 2019
Michael is personable, knowledgable, respectful, upbeat, prompt, observant and makes a point to understand concerns and thoughts of his client. From the start I realized that he noticed important highlights of my property that other agents ignored. I was wonderfully impressed by the photos he took and his own drone narrated MLS video. Michael compiled so much information easily and rythmeticly like in a song. His voice is soothing and inviting. I did not have the typical house alone on a piece of land. It offered so much more than other realitors could understand or were open to understand. Working with Michael was a grate relationship from beginning to end. I am grateful that I chose him to represent me.
Mike helped us buy our first home, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide through the process. He was patient, attentive, easy to talk to, and helped us figure out what we were looking for in a home. He quickly got a sense of our needs, and made sure we knew of any properties that might work for us. Mike's responsiveness was incredible: he was always available to answer our questions or schedule a showing, even at the last minute.
We really enjoyed Mike's approach, outlook, and sense of humor, and he did a remarkable job of pointing out things we might have missed while viewing a property. He advised us through every step of the process, and negotiated masterfully on our behalf when we ran into some challenges at closing time, always keeping us in the loop. Working with Mike felt like working with a friend.
We can't recommend Mike highly enough, and we hope to be able to work with him again in the future. 2019
Michael Seward was the perfect match for us to market our unique property. We knew we needed to reach out to a special buyer and understood it would take time. Michael was open to our pricing request and comfortable with our relaxed time frame for selling. Little did we anticipate accepting an offer within a few weeks of listing!
Michael was able to capture the unique beauty of our timber frame home and hillside property through his internet video marketing which highlighted his skill in narrated drone and video camera footage. Furthermore, Michaels professionalism, integrity and responsiveness were greatly appreciated throughout the process.
We are pleased to highly recommend Michael Seward for a successful real estate experience!
