Mike Brown – Coldwell Banker

Mike Brown’s consistent attention to details in every step of the real estate business has brought him my business as well as the business of my family and friends. He staged my home and yard free of charge which helped my house sell for more than $ 200,000 over the asking price.
Countless issues arise during real estate transactions, but with Mike as my realtor I never had to worry. He was always 2 steps ahead of me, kept me up to date and handled everything!
The sale of a house can easily cost so much more than expected. Other realtors I have used have skimmed or skipped over important important details leaving me with unnecessary bills and high closing costs. Mike’s expertise allowed me to relax, focus on my move, but most importantly, I was able to purchase a new home in a much nicer area than I expected. I feel very lucky to have found someone with his expertise and professionalism to handle my biggest investment!

I should have written a review a long time ago. 5 years ago Mike sold my house in the Los Gatos Hills. It was a challenging time and definitely a buyers market and the consensus from other agents was my house was overpriced and was worth more like 2.5m. I told Mike I wouldn’t budge on the price. He staged many rooms (for free), had some rooms painted, and made some basic changes. The house sold for 3 million !!! I’ve since used Mike to sell another 3 million dollar home and buy me 2 others. He’s also referred me an agent where I have another property back East. Additionally, he sold my neighbors home (and set a price record). That home was demolished. A new home was built. The owner also used Mike as their agent. And that home set a new price record. He’s been a wonderful agent for both a buyer and a seller. And regardless of the price of the home, he does not change his energy or commitment.

I was fortunate to manage homes for my wonderful grandparents in their later years. After my grandmother passed away a few years ago we had to sell a couple of the properties. Mike was the realtor we chose, for many reasons.
1 — I have seen Mike stage homes and get them sold for TOP DOLLAR
2 — Mike always does all he can to get the most exposure for your property. His background in marketing and his staging are top notch and always give properties that WOW factor
3 — Mike has a way of taken an average home and making it look like a model home. This is what sells homes fast.
4 — He explains all of those contracts and disclosure forms for as long as you need him to.
5 — His knowledge of the area is great. I know he is from the Bay Area and has lived here all of his life. Because of this he knows the intricacies of this great place.
6 — He is a very nice person and truly wants the best for his clients, sellers and buyers.
7 — I trust Mike and his professionalism and efforts to do what it takes to get the job done.
8 — OK, let’s be honest here, he is just great to look at! ;)
I still have a rental property in Los Gatos and when I am ready to sell it Mike will be the one I call. I always know that I will get the best service as well as the best deal! Thanks Mike!
