Michael was recommended to us by several friends, and he did not disappoint.  He is very knowledgeable and brings a wealth of professional experience to ensure our home was marketed and presented to get the best response from buyers.  The result was multiple offers and a final sale price well above asking!  We appreciate the guidance and support he provided throughout the entire process to ensure a smooth escrow and closing.

In one word, Michael is a pro. The consummate pro in every sense. I’ve known Michael over 30 years. He handled the sale of our first home in 1989. Shortly later, I became an agent in the same Coldwell Banker office for almost 20 years (now retired) and worked with Michael as colleagues. As such, I’m very critical of real estate agents, but I didn’t hesitate to choose Michael to represent an old friend in selling his luxury property.

The seller lives abroad and needed additional assistance and care. Michael was patient, diligent, responsive, and honest in his advice and opinions — everything a seller (or a buyer, for that matter) should expect and demand in an agent.

I have done more than 100 real estate deals, and the one with Michael Collins was the best. He always provided updates as they happened, and I never had to call him. Detail oriented. Topflight professional.

M.L. Kosloff, Esq.

I have made over 30 real estate purchases in my lifetime. Hands down, Michael is the best realtor I have ever worked with. He is professional, thorough, responsive, and patient; he is loyal and kind. I wish I had met him years ago. Michael is our realtor for life now.

Nancy & John Lasseter

Michael came highly recommended to us and proved to have the “IT” factor team. He went to the table with a highly professional, personable, and strategically minded approach. Michael’s knowledge of the market, professional contacts in the community, and many years of deep experience were undoubtedly a measure of knowing we had the right ingredients to obtain the best possible outcome. Michael more than delivered, achieving a sale price well beyond asking and carefully guiding us through every step of the process.

I can’t imagine buying a house with anyone other than Michael. He made the daunting process of buying a home so easy and stress-free. It also helped so much that everyone in the business knows and respects him. He truly made my dream come true! You’re an idiot if you use anyone else.

Whitney Cummings

My husband and I met Michael 10 years ago when we bought our first house. It was such a fantastic experience that we decided to work with Michael again when it came time for us to sell the house! We greatly appreciate his honesty, responsiveness, work ethic, deep well of knowledge, fun sense of humor, and ability to defuse potentially contentious situations. He was always willing to go the extra mile and available to us at all hours. He is also very well-connected and got us the best vendors (and results!) for staging, inspections, repairs remediation, etc.

Mia & David Alpert

The market presentation was no less than spectacular. On the first day, we had a traffic jam on our street and a fantastic offer. The escrow was completely ‘snag-free’ thanks to his thoroughness and advance planning to stay ahead of all deadlines. Michael is a straight shooter and always gave us his honest professional opinion.

Chase Langford & Steven Ziel

Michael seems to know every property in the area; he’ll help you decide what you want, he’s a terrific negotiator, and he’ll make it happen. He’s extraordinarily kind and thoughtful, bringing relative calm to a process fraught with anxiety. And he’s honorable, which ultimately can only work to your benefit. Use him!

Burt Levitch Esq. Levitch Stanley LLP

Michael, your advice concerning our most recent listing was spot-on despite being quite different from what we heard elsewhere. He deftly guided us through a series of difficult escrows and clearly knew when to push forward and when to sit back. As always, we particularly appreciated that you listened to, acknowledged, and met our particular needs and accepted our ultimate decisions. We’d be more than happy to recommend you to any of our friends in need of an amazing realtor!

Michael Collins changed our minds about brokers. He listened to our needs and never tried to oversell. He was consistently honest and forthcoming. He has excellent taste and was beyond patient with us. We cannot thank him enough. He is a great broker and has since become a good friend.

Idina Menzel

Michael Collins is one of the kindest, most patient, and honest men you will meet. His years of experience made me feel incredibly secure in purchasing our first home in California, and he had a gentle but direct hand in advising us throughout the process. His relationships with other brokers and the level of respect he has in the field were assets in this competitive marketplace. We had a wonderful experience working with him on what can be an incredibly overwhelming journey.
