Mike and Katie are top notch! They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable every step of the way! We bought from out of state and did not have the luxury of being in town during the buying process, but they both made the entire process very easy for us. I highly recommend using them when you are ready to purchase a home!
Mike and Katie helped us get our first (and dream) house. They were incredibly responsive, professional and helpful. They thoroughly guided us through the process because we are first time home buyers. Katie scheduled any showings at last minute and is always accommodating our schedule. Mike didn’t just want us to buy anything and be done with. We put offers in on three houses, the first two we canceled after inspection. Mike went over the reports and advised us of deal breaker issues. He also helped us get our dream house although it was a competitive bidding war and we weren’t even the best offer. They also worked with my FIL who is out of state, to obtain the loan. Even now that we got the house, they still reach out to see how we are doing. It was a seamless process overall and I’m grateful to have such thoughtful real estate agents like Mike and Katie. Highly recommend!!
With the market as tough as it is for buyers right now we couldn't have been more fortunate than to be working with Mike and his team. Mike is professional, on top of things, strategic, and great to work with. We were first time buyers and needed someone who would be real with us on what was needed to get the deal done, but also patient with us as it was such a big process. We always felt supported and that we were being communicated with immediately. We were able to get under contract in a house that met our needs, and we were definitely guided by Mike and his team. Katie is Mike's showing agent and she was a pleasure to view houses with. She has a great eye for things we would miss as a first time buyer, and was just fun to spend the day with. Michelle was wonderful to work with once we were under contract and assisted with getting all the paperwork and details organized. We cannot recommend Mike and his team enough, we are lucky we had them advocating for us in such a crazy market. You won't be disappointed.
Huge shout out to our realtor, Mike D’Elena, who assisted with the sale of our old home and purchase of new home. Mike’s communication skills are par none. He always remains available to us at any time of the day or week and was incredibly transparent for the duration of the home buying and selling process (even in leaseback cases). There is no question that I felt like we were Mike’s number one priority. Furthermore, Mike comes with a wealth of knowledge about real estate and the Arizona market that are hugely beneficial throughout the entire home selling and buying process. Additionally, his personal rolodex of contacts are superb (if it be a loan broker, handyman, or anything in between). My husband and I can’t thank him enough for all the hard work and effort he put forth to help get us into our dream home. Thank you Mike!
Working with Mike and his team turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for our recent home purchase. Katie, the showing agent, and Michelle with her updates and coordination, and Mike's tremendous negotiating skills helped to give us the competitive edge we needed to secure something in this hot market. They were always on top of things and highly responsive. They educated us, and most of all, utilized invaluable market-specific strategies that made all the difference in making the deal when that house finally came around, and those strategies were not about throwing more money at the problem. Every step along the way we were guided and any issues were anticipated and addressed promptly. It is safe to say that without Mike and his team, we would not be homeowners in Scottsdale today.
