Client Testimonials

“After living 10 years in a five-room house, my 90-year-old father was ready to downsize. Michael presented several pricing strategies and my father chose the one that resulted in him obtaining more than the property's assessed value, elating my dad. Michael knows the market very well and he also knows how to cast a wide - yet targeted - net, reaching people that are interested in your specific property. He is efficient, goes the extra mile to line up the appropriate resources and clearly loves what he does.”

“We could not say enough positive things about Michael Hitz. Having gone through a number of home sales and purchases in the past, each of which left us feeling like we had not been well-advised, nor well-represented; we sought a recommendation from a close friend in an adjacent industry, locally, who told us that Michael Hitz was, “hands down, the best in the business”. Michael assisted us with downsizing from a large family home into a perfect-fit retirement property with aplomb. What became clear while working with Michael, is that he brings a wealth of knowledge to his work as a real estate agent. His expertise as a successful entrepreneur, his deep knowledge of marketing, and his commitment to bringing together the most talented team of local professionals to serve his clients, yields a winning hand. Putting our faith in Michael’s process brought us better than hoped for results. Within hours of our debut open house, we were under contract for significantly more than our asking price, and Michael’s attention to important details throughout and up until the closing made all the difference to our peace of mind and to the success of our sale. As buyers, Michael was a patient, knowledgeable advocate who instilled confidence in us and helped us find, what has proved to be, our perfect new home.”

“Michael did an outstanding job for us. He was patient and took the time to educate us as the Maine market was very different than our experience in Indianapolis. Michael provided excellent communication, always available for every detail and last question. Ultimately, he found us the perfect house and was a top-notch negotiator, truly an advocate on our behalf. He coordinated all the details i.e. inspections, appraisals, closing and kept us informed every step of the way! We have a direct comparison having just sold a house in Indianapolis and while that Realtor was effective he was not an advocate working on our behalf. We have not only gained an excellent Realtor but a new friend. We have already recommended Michael to friends preparing to downsize knowing he will not only sell their home but will advocate for them as he did for us. Very grateful for Michael.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Michael recently on purchasing a condo. Truly one of the best and easiest purchasing experiences of my life! Not only was Michael fully knowledgeable of the market prices and recent trends, but he was also very knowledgeable about each area/location I was shopping in… offering all kinds of insight/info on neighborhoods and recent developments… along with being available at any time. Additionally, Michael offered a full array of contact services from inspections to mortgage brokers to cleaning services, you name it… Michael was well versed in it! Once we found the perfect condo for me, Michael was again very helpful in helping walk me through the purchase process, keeping me informed along the way of the progress, looking out for my best interest and answering any questions I may have had while ensuring that we had a smooth close. Words cannot truly describe the excellence of knowledgeable and trustworthy service Michael offered, he truly made what is typically a stressful and trying experience … into one that was easy, non-stressful and a pleasure!

Where do I even start- we bought a home in a weekend, which was crazy, but Michael made it almost seem easy. Then, once we had made the decision to purchase our home his services not only continued to be above expectations, but extremely valuable to us as new home buyers. He was present for the inspection and the closing as we were out of town buyers, he provided invaluable expertise on everything from negotiating with the sellers, to what needed to be fixed in the inspection, to finding us experts to do some of those fixes. He never pressured us to look at homes outside of our budget, and did his best to find us what we were looking for in our first home. Michael has truly been an excellent agent to us and helped make our long distance home buying experience a success. He tackled every challenge we threw at him with professionalism and poise, and is also a genuinely good guy and we had a blast hanging out with him throughout this whirlwind experience!

“I wish many people came across such an amazing person like Michael, who truly loves what he does and is so passionate about it. I wish other realtors would learn from him. Not only he was able to find us home, he guided us towards perfect lending, insurance, inspection services. Like someone earlier mentioned in the reviews - we did not gain a realtor - we gained a friend.”

“I was looking for a Realtor who I could trust to be my advocate. Michael was that and more. His expert and sensible advice were invaluable. The first time I worked with Michael, his sales experience and in-depth knowledge of the real estate market was evident; my condo sold for the highest price in that association. Michael then exactly located what I was looking for, a three bedroom, three bath, new construction home. My real estate transactions with Michael were seamless, and I clearly knew that he was looking out for my best interest. Michael is very easy to work with, caring, has a positive attitude and truly understands the real estate market from establishing home values to financing and all the other requirements in between. Michael is proactive and follows through on what he says he will do and when he says he will do it. I would highly recommend Michael for any real estate needs.”

“After getting off to a rough start with another selling agent I was referred to Michael Hitz. The same day that I had inquired about selling my home, he had contacted me. There are no words to describe how hard this agent worked for my husband and I. From the very beginning we clicked and he was able to handle my sarcastic personality. That alone is huge!! Not only was he available day and night but he strived to no end to make our dreams come true. He represented us as both our selling and buying agent. Within weeks we were under contract! Throughout the buying and selling process Michael was our go to. He always had an answer and a direction to point us in. He never misguided us and was always looking out for our best interest. He became the best therapist a buyer and seller could ask for, cause let's be honest, buying and selling a house is no walk in the park! Most importantly he was "in it to win it" for us! Anyone who's lucky enough to have Michael represent them as their agent will never be disappointed. Not only was he a fantastic agent but he became a really great friend!”

“Buying a home is a stressful experience. Having Michael Hitz as our buyer's agent made the process so much easier. He was, and continues to be after the purchase, both responsive and helpful as we settle into our new home. Thanks Michael!”

— William D

“If you want an agent who will go the extra mile (and beyond) with enthusiasm, skill, and patience, Michael Hitz is the one to choose! My husband and I asked his help to find a house that could accommodate our complex needs as a couple with an elderly, live-in parent. Michael jumped into the search with eagerness, located a gem of a house that met all our requirements and more, patiently walked us through the inspections and negotiation processes, and explained every step along the way so we felt informed and confident. Michael is responsive, respectful, and understanding; three traits that, along with his experience, make him a success and a joy to work with. I highly recommend him!”
