Testimonials

We relocated to California for business and were completely new to the area. We described what we were looking for in terms of neighborhood, lifestyle, layout, etc. Michael and his business partner Richard took that information and expertly translated it into what that meant in this market. They showed us a variety of properties and encouraged us to "think outside the box". One property in particular that we kept taking off the list then putting back on, turned out to be the place we bought. Michael and Richard really listened to our feedback and patiently guided us based upon what they heard. We absolutely love our new home and have Michael and Richard to thank for it. In addition to being great listeners, they are very fun to work with and made what was a stressful time infinitely more enjoyable. They were professional and trustworthy; leading us through the mountain of paperwork required to buy a house. We will definitely use their services again in the future.

I am very impressed by the level of service Michael Barrow provided for the purchase of an investment property in San Diego. The attributes that particularly impressed me are:

1. Well organized and "on the ball": Michael is always a step ahead of the game in terms of getting all the necessary documents ready from me and to the right parties. He is also very responsive in terms of following up with the counter party to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. I received the approrpriate level of communications to feel I am "in the loop" while not being over-whelmed by details.

2. "Can Do" attitude: He is very driven to get the deal closed. He made numerous calls to potential lenders and the escrow company to make sure the process is well managed. He also thought of creative solutions to navigate the challenges presented by the current lending industry.

In addtion, he went well above and beyond his call of duty as a realtor to help ensure my investment venture is a success.

3. Objectivity: I get the clear sense that Michael is thinking on my behalf instead of maximizing his commission. He helped me to screen the potential properties that maximized income/price paid ratio. In the end, he steered to me towards a smaller better priced unit instead of a higher priced one. You don't always get this level of objectivity from other realtors.

Overall, I highly recommend Michael Barrow to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent.

We can't thank you enough for all of your help in getting us into our first home! It was trying at times, but you have made all the difference in the world. You were always just a phone call away and always quick to answer all of our questions and concerns. You completely exceeded all expectations!! Of course we will rave about you to any friends that are looking to buy a house in the future! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication!!

Over a year ago we contacted Michael about buying a house. He came highly recommended by a good friend of ours. We went over the numbers and realized that it just wasn't going to work out at the time. Instead of just hanging up the phone, Michael proceeded to tell us how to get our credit on track and what we needed to do in order to get into a house in the next couple of years. This was extremely valuable information for us.

Within the next year we were ready to go so Michael and Richard sprang into action and in no time we were well on our way to buying our first home. During the whole process Michael and Richard were very professional and knowledgeable. They answered all of our questions no matter how trivial they seemed to us.

We have the utmost respect for them and their expertise and would recommend them to anyone we know. They are a great team and they always attack their job with great energy and enthusiasm. Most of all Michael and Richard are very personable. They will be our lifelong realtors and our friends.

Natalie & Joe M., El Cajon, CA

We contacted Michael and Richard (at a friend's suggestion) to help us buy our first home. Right from the start, we felt comfortable with them and felt that we could trust them. They were always on top of things: finding us listings that fit our budget/criteria, making time to show us places right away, presenting extremely detailed analysis of each condo we looked at, completing paperwork quickly, making all kinds of followup calls for us, and fighting with banks to get us the best deal possible.

For example, we ended up offering on a foreclosed condo, which was to be sold as-is. But the place was trashed! Disgusting bathrooms, kitchen, and flooring, holes in the ceiling, and a front door that had a hole in it. Michael and Richard would not stand for this, they fought and fought until the bank went back in to clean out the trash and make the necessary repairs. I don't think I know anyone more persistent and dedicated than these two awesome realtors!

To put it bluntly, Michael and Richard know their stuff. They studied the market daily for us, they were constantly digging up any piece of research on any properties we were interested in, they gave us tons of information on different areas in San Diego, info on what was important in buying a home and buying into certain parts of town, so much priceless advice on how to plan for such a huge commitment and how to successfully see it through. We really felt lucky having their combined experience and knowledge.

Looking back, one of the best things they could do for us was be our shoulder to cry on, our ear to listen when we were so afraid of buying a home, someone that was always there to patiently answer our hundreds of questions, no matter how big or small. Michael and Richard really made a huge investment of time and energy into our goal of buying our first home. And we feel that they always did have our best interests at heart. We honestly could not have gotten through this crazy, tedious, and lengthy process without their guidance and experience.

We love our new condo and have been recommending Michael and Richard to everyone we know. One day...we'll be bugging them again to find a house!
