If you read through Michael's other recommendations, this one is going to sound like I copied them. But if you are reading this, that means you are looking for consistency in his quality, and here it is. Michael was very patient with us changing our search criteria several times and the family drama that comes with buying a first home. He was prompt and available to answer questions from simple to complex. His ability to gauge how much help or space to give us allowed us to learn what we needed while making sure work gets done. He seemed quite knowledgeable and advised us to our best interest. He was there when we needed, and he walked us through everything comfortably. Michael also has an easy-going personality. I think if we worked with another agent who doesn't have this personality, we would end up feeling more stressed and anxious than this process already is.

Michael did an outstanding job. He was helpful, patient, and prompt during the entire home buying process. Any time I was confused along the way, he took the time to explain exactly what was going on and what I needed to do, and he did it without talking down to me. In addition, he made himself available to look at houses all over the Bay Area and took the time to do research on different neighborhoods and communities. Lastly, he worked well with the seller's agent and ensured the process went smoothly. He knows his trade, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We are so thankful we found Michael Young. Coming from out of state, purchasing a home in Marin was extra challenging. Michael was available day and night (considering the time change) to answer our questions and discuss potential homes. When we flew in, he made himself available to meet with us on our limited schedule. Furthermore, when we were not in the area, he drove out to the house we were closing on to meet with carpet guys and other people who needed to have access to the house. His calm demeanor, even when one house fell through, was so important during this stressful process. We had some bumps along the way but nothing phased him. Michael is a professional but also friendly and thoughtful, helping us through the negotiation to the very end.

Michael did an outstanding job making sure we had a positive experience purchasing our first home. First, he listened to our recommendations of what we were looking for and made time to show us around until we found the one. Secondly, once we started escrow, Michael made sure to send us updates throughout the process to stay on schedule. He worked with other professionals to ensure the paperwork and requirements were being met. Lastly, Michael is a knowledgeable realtor who is easygoing, punctual, and watches over his clients best interests. I would recommend Michael to anyone who wants to purchase their first home, and I would definitely come to him in the future if I'm in the market for another home.

Michael is an outstanding agent. He went above and beyond his duties to make sure we could find a home that would meet our needs and stay within our budget. He was always very accessible and flexible with scheduling. He was prompt with everything, from making the offers, to filing documents to close escrow. I would recommend him as an agent, and will definitely call him back in case I need an agent in the future.

Michael was such a pleasure to work with. He is very attentive to his clients and is motivated to help you find your perfect home. His combination of professionalism and personable character made my first time home buying process enjoyable. I will certainly contact Michael again when I buy my next home.

Mr Young is the most professional salesperson that I have met. Having worked as an account executive for Philips, the European electronics giant, I have a pretty good yardstick for measuring good salespeople. I also studied in the Dale Carnegie organization their sales course. It was there that I learned that question asking and listening are probably the most important components in selling. Michael is a Socratic questioner and does not waste the clients time and maximizes the benefit to he and the client.

I've been working with Michael Young for the past thirteen years and can't imagine a more conscientious and professional real estate agent. His always positive personality and ability to connect with everyone around him is unprecedented. He is very good at selling homes, and he strives for excellence in all his dealings. The most important traits I enjoy about Michael are his strong character and integrity. He always puts the client's interest first...always! This is often times hard to find in any industry, and it certainly is refreshing every time I have to buy or sell a piece of real estate to know that Michael is on my side of the negotiating table. Michael has helped me purchase eight homes and was my selling listing agent for selling seven homes ranging in price from $600,000 to $1.5 million. Each transaction was executed flawlessly and with very little stress to me. I would not hesitate a second to recommend Michael for all your real estate needs.
