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

M.L. Kosloff, Esq.

Michael is simply the best. He is an expert, experienced realtor and provides all the right input and direction for his clients. He did it for me and is a swell guy as well

Tom Liebengood

It is hard to find enough superlatives to describe my recent excellent experience with Michael Collins. He is simply a consummate professional who is completely on top of his game, and a pleasure to deal with. He displays a winning combination of toughness, focus, and social skills. He is an effective negotiator, quick to see all sides of an issue, and influences all parties towards effective solutions. His knowledge and sense of the market, as well as his understanding of the process, is deep; he gave me excellent advice on getting my home ready for sale and pitched the asking price exactly right; it sold quickly. His energy and intensity levels are very high. He is highly detailed, superbly organized, principled, and immediately responsive.; I sometimes wondered if he ever slept! Michael is quite simply the best in class, and I cannot imagine any way in which anyone could have done a better job or been a greater pleasure to work with. I recommend him enthusiastically.

I’m the executor for an estate in West Los Angeles. Although based in NY, I was suddenly responsible for selling a home in a market I knew nothing about. I interviewed a couple of brokers but was immediately impressed with Michael’s understated manner and obvious deep knowledge of the market. He proposed steps to better market the property that I would never have thought of. He not only showed me comps and described general market conditions but helped me understand how the market was moving which made me better informed regarding asking price, timing, and sale strategy. Michael suggested improvements I needed to make and those not to worry about. He helped me compare and negotiate the best deal given a soft and declining market. Looking back, the process was relatively quick. And most of all successful!

What more can be said about Michael Collins? Simply THE BEST. Here’s an agent with both the history and in depth knowledge of the Los Angeles market and beyond! I have known Michael for over 30 years and bought and sold my first properties with him back in the 1990’s. When it came time for me to sell my current property after living in it for 25 years, There was no doubt about the person I wanted to represent me, Michael Collins.

A short time after we listed, we were in escrow with a cash offer and closed in 20 days! I could not be more thrilled with the results and Michael’s professionalism. With Michael, the client always comes first. Michael’s extensive knowledge of current real estate conditions and his finesse in deal-making, makes the entire process of buying or selling as effortless and trouble-free as possible. I could not recommend anyone higher.

Kregg Klein

Michael was incredible throughout the whole process. He showed dedication and shared his knowledge and experience from day one He is a dream to work with and I am so grateful and appreciative of all the hard work you have so diligently provided me from the start with my remodeling to the end date of the sale.

I hired Michael’s professional services when I purchased my house back in 1997 and I chose him again to sell my same place in May 2022 -He achieved the most outstanding results for me. He invested 110% of his time day and night which was a proven testament to the remarkable sale I received at the end of closing. I and my family have been in Property Management for over 50 years, and may I say Michael is the very best and most trustworthy agent I have ever worked with. Amazing gentleman of a hard worker. For anyone selling their home, you must have Michael as your professional agent

THANK YOU, again and again, Michael.

Justin Melvey

My husband and I met Michael 10 years ago, when we were buying our first house. It was such a fantastic experience that when it came time for us to sell the house, we decided to work with Michael again! 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 for us 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 and remediation, etc.

Mia & David Alpert

Buying or selling your home can be a very emotional and stressful transaction but with Michael you get someone who is completely unflappable which is a trait that is much appreciated in these sometimes tense negotiations. Put simply, you can’t go wrong with Michael Collins.

Jack Grossbart & Marc Schwartz

The market presentation was no less than spectacular and 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

When it came time to sell, Michael was my first call. The process was much more involved and Michael expertly guided me through it; choosing the necessary renovations, deciding on a listing price, creating the marketing materials, overseeing the open house, navigating the almost dozen offers we received, and finally helping me deal with a nervous first-time buyer. Michael was the ultimate professional throughout that sale; tirelessly attuned to detail, always forward-thinking and conducting his business with only the highest standards in mind. A class act.

Joshua Oppenheimer, Producer

Working with Michael Collins turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. There was so much uncertainty in my life, and with the unstable real estate market Michael was the perfect realtor for us. He was patient, responsive, and reliable and always made me feel as if the sale of my mother’s home was the most important job he had. In the end, the house sold for more than we imagined it would with no delays or hassles at all. Much of this was due to Michael’s help with staging, pricing, and advertising the house. Michael knows the area’s realtors and was able to have their suitable clients see the property promptly. I expect that had my sister and I chose a different realtor, the sale would not have gone as successfully or smoothly. Michael Collins was the perfect choice.

Jeffrey Goldstein

We worked with Michael on the sale of one house and the purchase of another. With twin infants and a previously scheduled trip to the East Coast, we relied on Michael heavily to handle everything. He took care of everything with ease and with minimal work for us. Besides aggressively and quickly selling our house, he and his team met inspectors and repair people and arranged for it all to happen. All we had to do was pack up, move, and sign papers.We would highly recommend Michael and his team.

Danny Salles & Dr. Myles Spar

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

Todd Hunt, Esq.The Law Offices of Todd C. Hunt, APC

In a time fraught with unbelievable financial pressures and a choppy real estate market, which most of us have never been through, we can say, without any reservations, that you have made our experience one which exceeded in every respect our hopes and expectations. We were impressed with every detail you and your team became involved in. Nothing was too minor or too much. When we were impossible, you were a patient counselor. When we were fading, you maintained our strength.

Stanley Goodman Esq. & Melinda Raphael

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

Idina Menzel

The first thing you should know about Michael is that he has an amazing reputation. Every realtor we met knows him and praises him for his knowledge, professionalism and honesty. The second thing you should know is that he makes the buying process as easy as it can possibly be. He is always available for questions, responds to emails in a lightning quick manner, anticipates all your needs, is a great negotiator, and even makes signing paperwork as efficient as possible. We are proud to call Michael our realtor and are even prouder to refer him to others.

Brian Casentini & Brian Siegel

I felt like he went way above and beyond my expectations to make sure the selling of my home and the buying of my new home went smoothly. He listened carefully to my needs, and was extremely organized, planning everything out meticulously, paying close attention to every detail. He was very patient with me, taking the time to educate me in the world of real estate and what I should be looking for. I really appreciated his clarity in guiding me towards good properties and steering me away from bad investments. By the time we put my home on the market, it sold in less than a week with multiple offers.

Tim Bagley

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, was an asset in this competitive marketplace. We had a wonderful experience working with him in what can be an incredibly overwhelming journey.

Zoe Lister-Jones & Daryl Wein

We have worked with Michael, buying and selling three properties over the past two decades, and there is no one we can imagine trusting and enjoying more through what can sometimes be an emotional process. He maintains a spirit of calm confidence and compassion to help get you through it. He will always be honest with you, but never gets pushy or arrogant. On top of everything else, he always finds time to give back to the community.

The Rev. Neil A Tadken & Frank Slesinski, ASID

As we worked on our fifth transaction together, I wanted to take the time to say, “Thank you.” This past sale was more challenging for me than all of the other properties. Not only was I presented with a multitude of confusing and unfamiliar propositions from third parties, but I was bombarded with complication after complication once we found a buyer. The way that you coordinated the circus of repairmen and service providers was masterful. Thank you for being a great advisor, and sometimes a necessary therapist! You are the rare real estate agent who accomplishes what he promises and who actually puts your clients’ best interest first.

Wen Wen Hsu

Thank you for your recent guidance and advise while we searched for our new home. Your honesty and integrity gave us great confidence in our purchase. Your attentiveness and concern for us to purchase the “right” home displayed your objectivity and we appreciate it. You saved us a good deal of stress, confusion and headaches through escrow and especially considering it was our first purchase! We also appreciate your continued help after the closing by answering all of our follow-up questions. The service you extended us reassures us in recommending you to others. We appreciate your inordinate level of attention and look forward to having you help us again soon.

Jeff & Jenni Runyan Wedbush Securities, Webs, CEA Financial Consultant

From the moment we first met Michael, he reassured us that we would successfully sell our home on our own terms. Although Michael is extremely knowledgeable and skillful, we find his biggest asset to be his willingness to listen.He heard our goals and helped us achieve them. We wholeheartedly recommend Michael Collins. He is a man of integrity, compassion and kindness.

Linda DeMetrick and James Campbell, Esq.

Working with Michael Collins on the sale of my home was a pleasure from beginning to end. The level of professionalism and ease with which everything was handled made it such an easy process for me. The quality of service and attention to detail with Michael is, in my opinion, top notch.
