We met Michael after previously working with two other agents. The differences were apparent after the very first meeting. Michael listened to what we were looking for in a home and presented options that met our criteria. He didn’t rush us or try to push us into making any premature decisions. Michael knows the market and is able to answer the questions that arise during the process of searching for a new home. His advice, support and resources helped us have complete confidence throughout the entire process. We felt as though we were able to customize our home buying experience; Michael worked with our hectic schedule and made us feel extremely comfortable with the entire procedure. Michael is a wonderful partner to have on your side. We will certainly work with him in the future and will continue to recommend him to everyone looking for a realtor.

I have known Mike Smith for many years and recently had the pleasure to hire him as my agent in the sale of my home. During the process, I found Mike to be very knowledgeable, professional, diligent, and extremely personable. We set up a strategy plan to sell the house, which included one brokers' tour and two open houses. Within days, we received multiple offers. I could not have been more pleased with the accepted offer of $40K over asking, and a closing within 30 days! Mike handled the buyers' questions and concerns to their satisfaction and promptly. It was my pleasure in having Mike as my selling agent, and I would hire him again without reservation.

We worked with Michael Smith since day one of the showings of the property. We started to know each other and we started doing the application and everything. And he's been very good to us. He's been extremely helpful and hands-on in everything. The communication was pretty good with the emails and with phone calls and text messages. And then it happened in a very short amount of time, but it was pretty stressful for a few things. Other than that, it was really good. And my parents are very happy that we finally got this. We finally went through it. So thank you so much, Michael!

I have been working with Michael since 2018. Back then he helped me rent my home in El Cerrito. He was extremely helpful and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I moved to NYC knowing Michael was around to look after everything regarding the rental. I recently decided to sell my home in El Cerrito and, again, Michael took care of everything from hiring the painters to removing some debris in the yard. The sale process was absolutely smooth - Michael did a great job of outreach prior to the home going on the market and I received an offer within a few days of listing the house. From the time the offer was made to the closing date, Michael was in touch frequently to let me know what was happening. I really enjoyed working with Michael and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to rent or sell their home.

I loved and enjoyed working with Michael W. Smith. We are very happy to have chosen him as our realtor. Mike isn’t just passionate about his career but also about his clients and that shows in the quality and attentiveness of his work. He was always available and willing to help answer questions and did not mind having to answer a question more than once. He is honest, professional and genuine. We closed on our first home in 15 days! Michael W. Smith is an exceptional realtor that goes the extra mile for his clients. I highly recommended him, he deserves 7 out of 5 stars!

I recently worked with Michael to purchase my first home in Oakland, and his utmost dedication, patience, and responsiveness made the process seamless! Michael is very knowledgeable and always available to answer questions. Every time I sent him properties I was interested in, he did not hesitate to connect with the listing agents to set up showings and read through disclosure packets. I will definitely work with Michael for any real estate purchases/sales in the future and cannot recommend him enough. The process is daunting, especially in a cutthroat market, but Michael has your back!

I have personally worked side by side with Michael in the very early stages of my real estate career. I couldn’t not ask for a better colleague! Michael is so knowledgeable, kind, and professional! Do not hesitate if you are considering him as your listing or buyers agent!

We are finally home owners...thanks to Michael Smith. As we viewed the ad and his website, we felt that he would be able to assist us with our home purchase. The attraction to make contact with Michael was that his ad referenced his knowledge of foreclosed properties in addition to his broad knowledge of all properties. We found that Michael was patient with answering our questions and showing properties in Diamond Heights, Bayview/Hunters Point and The Haight District in San Francisco. We also looked at properties in Emeryville and Marina Bay in Richmond. Our search has ended at the town homes located at the Richmond Bart Station called: Metro Walk Way. We’re happy with our new home: from a one bedroom apartment to a three bedroom, three bath, three stories and two car garage. We are home!!!
