Testimonials

Mike Marshall is an excellent agent. We really appreciate his professionalism and dedication to his job. Thanks Mike for all that you do! Brian Z.

We encountered absolutely no problems before, during, or after our home purchase. We couldn't be happier with how our first home purchase turned out. I was extremely nervous about buying a home, and Mike made the process so very smooth and easy to understand. He always had our best interests in mind, pointing out what was needed, what was wanted, and what was crap. We could get a hold of Mike day or night, and the personalized website made looking for homes so easy for someone who works nights. Mike helped us narrow down our choices, and we found our perfect home almost instantly. I have and will continue to recommend Mike to anybody thinking about purchasing a home. We recommend Buyer's Resource to everyone that will listen to us Jon M.

I know that the past few months have been very busy for us and extremely busy for you. My wife and I both want to thank you for all the hard work you put in during our home buying process. Going from our original Realtor through our apartment complex to you and buyers resource. The difference was obvious. You were there for all of our questions and guided us through every step of the way. You have a great attention to detail and are very good at what you do. Working with you was a pleasure. May good things and plenty of business come to you for years to come. You will always get a great recommendation from us. Michael R.

Michael Marshall stood by our side to very end during our home buying process. I really appreciated that since we are first time home buyers. Mike is very experienced and knew what he was doing. I would definitely use Michael again. Amber M.

Mike handled every situation quickly, professionally, and made the home buying experience an easy one. Mike had answers to all our questions and even ones we didn't think to ask. We felt like Mike was open and honest. E-mails and phone calls answered quickly by Mike. Mike is very level headed and easy to get along with. We evaluated many homes efficiently and effectively. He understood that it was important to investigate every home, but also got us through the process quickly so our time was never wasted. Mike was always on time, clean cut, and organized. For a first time home buyer we had a lot of questions that needed answers and there were a lot of things we didn't even think about considering when buying a home. Mike was there to make sure we had every bit of information we possibly could to make sure we made a smart and educated decision. Every chance we get we recommend Mike at Buyer's Resource. Mike Marshall would be our first and only choice if we ever had to purchase again. Karisa R.

This was our 2nd home purchase with using Buyer's Resource and Mike Marshall. We first dealt with the company and Mike in 1998-1999 and purchased our first home in May 1999. We really didn't have any qualms with having Mike help/guide us through the process. We had already had a friendship/trusting relationship with him and the company from 10 years ago. Just as with our first home purchase 10 years ago, with Mike, we had absolutely NO issues with contracts, inspections or closing. It went very smoothly and perfectly! As with 10 years ago, it was almost like a déjà vu scenario- same broker, same mortgage consultant - just different year, price range and different home. Everything went absolutely perfect!

Mike is great for knowing exactly "what to ask for and when!" We totally trusted him, as he is the professional in this matter and each time it definitely worked to our advantage! Mike was always nothing short of honest (with regards to all aspects of the deal - waiting on contracts, inspections, etc) and completely upfront when he felt something didn't add up or seemed "iffy" when dealing with other sellers, realtors, etc.

We initially sifted through the websites and internet options before settling to visit (initially) homes in person. We actually went into contract on a home (not this one), however after the initial contract was signed, the seller/agent disclosed that the house was in short sale status...so we ended up waiting approx 6 weeks before we decided to end contract and move on. We then immediately found/went to contract on our current home and everything fell into place.

Absolutely, as this is our 2nd time (after 10 years)...However since we aren't planning on purchasing another home for at least 10 more years...we aren't sure that Mike will still be selling :)!

Absolutely! We currently have some friends that are about to start looking for their first home(s)...we have already planted a seed in their ear regarding Mike and the entire Buyer's Resource Team! :) Ric & Melissa B.

I was new to the Columbus area (moving here for graduate school) so I needed a lot of hand-holding regarding the best neighborhoods for my husband and I. Mike was fantastic and pointed me to a neighborhood I would have never considered without "insider input". It's turned out to be perfect for us.

My husband and I viewed approximately 10 homes via open house before meeting Mike. With Mike, we viewed about 15 homes in one outing. We purchased one of those 15 homes. Mike was so helpful in pointing out potential problems during home walk-through, advising about neighborhoods and budget, etc. We have appreciated his follow-up emails after purchase, which reminded us to do several things that would have otherwise slipped our minds. I did most of this home purchase from my previous home of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Mike was always easy to reach via phone and email. Half the time he would call ME, having already thought of some important issue or appointment that we needed to think about, which really helped me out.

I feel confident that I got a great deal on this home. When it came down to choosing between two houses, Mike provided useful information about taxes and pricing that helped us choose one home over another.

My mother, who was closely involved with this transaction, wants to know if Mike has a life outside of real estate. We're sure he does, but his clients would never know it! I know it's not true, but I felt like Mike was thinking about my home purchase transaction 24/7 from the time we started searching MLS to several days after closing. He's awesome!

Mike not only arranged for the sellers to pay $2500 of our closing costs, he seemed eager to find things that we could get covered by that $2500. With our non-traditional mortgage, we were not paying loan origination fees or application fees, so Mike was helpful in figuring out what we'd do with our $2500.

My husband and I will probably leave the Columbus area in 5 years, but we have already recommended Buyer's Resource to friends and family and will continue to do so. Jen M.

Mike was outstanding. He was referred to us from a friend of mine. I have and will continue to recommend Mike. Our experience with Buyer's Resource was excellent. Christina & Jon M.
