Mike is incredibly diligent and very responsive. He’s a pleasure to work with which is why we have used him for almost all our real estate deals. His industry and market knowledge is top notch and his approach to each deal is very meticulous. He knows no deal or market are the same which is greatly appreciated. You won’t be disappointed, he truly is one of the best!

Mike Tavernise is a consummate professional in every way. From the first time meeting, he couldn’t have been more personable or knowledgeable about his field and has honed the craft of buying and selling real estate down to a near exact science. No small detail was overlooked. He has earned every ounce of support and trust after all that he did to help navigate us through the sale of our childhood home seamlessly straight through to closing. He was a guiding beacon of light through the entire process. I would unequivocally recommend him to anyone in need of a real estate hand, and he’d still be my go to for any possible future needs I might have. He was truly a pleasure and a delight to work with from start to finish.

We first met Michael Tavernise last July,2020 as we were deciding on a broker who would list our house when we were ready to sell in the early winter. He was open and honest in letting us know how to prepare the house for listing and how he would help us throughout the process. In January,2021, we met with Michael again and he was extremely professional , openly sharing suggestions as to the best way to get our home ready for showing, which he did 2 weeks after our meeting. We valued and trusted his expertise as he guided us through the process. His marketing skill was exceptional and he showed the house in one weekend 41 times receiving 20 well qualified offers. Once we decided on whom we would sell our home too, Mike was always available to answer our many questions , he did so promptly and kept us abreast throughout the following weeks as we awaited closing . We were extremely pleased with his service, professionalism and open communication, truly a pleasure to work with!

My husband and I were so thankful to work with Mike during our home search. We started our home search in February of 2022 and after a few months of searching we closed on our perfect home in August. Mike was patient, honest, and always eager to show us homes just as they hit the market to ensure we were one of the first to see it. I also preferred not to go to open houses as I felt discouraged by the competition so Mike made it a point to make sure we had private viewings of homes we loved. Although the market is crazy right now, Mike always made us feel comfortable and confident in our decisions, and gave us expect advice on the neighborhoods we were looking. Mike was always available whenever we needed and always accommodated both Mine and my husbands schedules, even if that meant he spent every weekend with us for the last few months 🙂 We would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to begin their home search, you will not be disappointed!

If you are looking for someone to list or find you your forever home, look no further. Mike is the best! He just sold our home and we are working again with Mike to find our next home. Mike is professional, honest, down-to-earth, reliable, and excellent at what he does. He is always available to answer questions and get advice. My husband and I could not ask for a better agent to work with. We are so happy we found him! You will honestly not be disappointed.

I interviewed Michael Tavernise, as well as agents from two other companies, in April 2021. In July 2022, when my wife and I were finished taking turns getting cold feet about selling our home, we called Michael. He explained his suggested pricing of our house, and outlined the steps we should take (mainly de-cluttering) and not take (cosmetic repairs) before our house could be shown. The house was finally ready to be photographed the last week of August 2022. Michael worked with the photographer, moving furniture around to show our house to its best advantage. After two days of private viewings and a weekend open house, we had twenty offers at or above the asking price. Michael carefully vetted the potential buyers, and we accepted an offer 12% above our asking price. Inspection was a few days later, and our closing went smoothly just two months after the house was first shown.

I attribute the painlessness of our house selling to Michael's dedication to his clients, and his attention to detail. We probably weren't the easiest clients to have-among other things we were first time sellers-but Michael consistently showed compassion and grace.

I can unequivocally recommend Michael Tavernise as a sellers' agent.

Mike was absolutely fantastic to work with through this whole househunting process! He was knowledgeable and accommodating regardless of the situation! Mike always stayed positive and honest with us when seeing each house that we came across on the market. He did not pressure us into anything and always made us feel comfortable with our decisions. I would highly recommend Mike to help you on your search for your new home! Thank you so much Mike for helping us find a house to make at home- we couldn’t be happier! 🙂

Mike did an excellent job selling our home. He is absolutely amazing at his job- professional, personable, reliable and invested in doing what is best for his clients. He sets the bar high, our home sold within a month and well above asking price. Thank you Mike and we wish you the best. We are grateful to have successfully sold our first home with your help.
