Testimonials

“Michael was the third realtor that I interviewed to sell my late father's house. My father was an architect and engineer, and had designed the house, which was the home in which I grew up. As I showed Michael the house I began to realize that there was something different about him. His questions and comments revealed considerable attention to detail and also knowledge of materials and construction. More importantly, he listened very closely to the story of my father and the house, and therefore could relate to what I was going through on a personal level, and also understand what I wanted for the property's future. Choosing Michael was the best decision I could have made. His marketing strategy was excellent - he hired a home staging consultant who provided many useful recommendations, and a professional photographer who came up with beautiful pictures, and had all of us prepare for a single open house. The open house must have attracted a record attendance for western New York, and generated multiple offers, all but one of which were above asking price. Needless to say, the entire experience and the final sale exceeded my expectations.”

“Thank you Michael for providing me with your wealth of knowledge in putting together a go-to-market strategy and selling the house in just two days! I couldn't have asked for anything more! You provided me with all right recommendations, starting with help in removing the house from flood zone to making all optimal enhancements to the property that brought the best possible price that I was hoping for. Your commitment to quality and timeliness in action has really paid off. It was an important step for me to move on to other things in my life!!! Thank you again and wish you the best!!”

“After several efforts in trying to sell our home, we were a bit disheartened and not sure what direction to take. The house is an amazing, unique property with many perks, it didn't make sense. Neighbors strongly recommended Michael Burke. They espoused his honesty and integrity. On they went saying he really knows his marketplace and will represent the home on a professional level. As it turned out, that was an understatement. Michael is not only professional, but hardworking and willing to make the upfront investment to come onto the market with a splash.  He knows how to stage and represent a home. Michael also is very respectful of the effort it takes on the part of a homeowner.  He takes the time to thoroughly qualify any perspective buyer to assure the match. Wow....what a phenomenal way to go. 9 days, multiple offers. Great advice, great results. Thank you Michael Burke!!!!”

 “Michael, you are a true professional. This entire experience can be so overwhelming and you walked us through every step of the way from selling our home, believing in us, our vision for a new home and all the business details in between. Your expertise in this field is outstanding and your patience is commendable. Thank you Michael. It was our pleasure working with you. You were always there for us.”

We would definitely work with him again.”

“We had the pleasure of working with Michael Burke for the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our existing home. It is a challenge to be concise in describing all Michael has done for our family. Michael has the unique ability to make us feel as if we were his only client.  He is a true professional who cares very much for the clients he serves and delivers on everything he commits to.  We recommend Michael to anyone buying or selling a home!”

— Jeff and Theresa, Lancaster NY
 

“Michael gets it.  This is a career for him, not a job.  He focuses on continuing education, learning current market trends, house staging, and everything else involved with real estate.  As a self-employed person, I spend countless hours learning my craft and just trying to be the best at what I do. I believe it is the best way, long term, to have a successful career. Michael does the same, which is why I can appreciate his business. I've encountered many other agents so involved with advertising and recognition; they ignore the fact that being the best at what you do is the most effective advertising.  My father and I have a real estate investment business, and it is safe to say Michael is a vital part of why we are successful at finding the right homes. Highly recommended Michael for a true professional.”

— Marc, Amherst, NY

“After spending more than two years trying to sell our house, we thought it would never sell. We contacted Michael Burke for one last try with a new realtor. Several of his past clients highly recommended him. What a difference!! Michael actually had a marketing plan that worked. He clearly defined a process to follow that included some effort on our part to stage the house. He really went to work, bringing in top notch advisors and actively marketing the property. His pricing advice and negotiation skills were spot on. The results speak for themselves. The house sold in 16 days (exactly Michael Burke’s average at the time) and within 2% of our advertised price. Michael stayed with the sale advising us every step of the way through closing. We are extremely happy. Thank you, Michael.”

— Carm and Dan, Lancaster, NY

“All we I can say is WOW!  We were very impressed with Michael Burke’s professionalism, personal attention, and marketing strategies.  Michael is a first class, high caliber, real estate professional.   We received his personal attention almost on a daily basis. He was always available for questions, and made us feel like we were his only client.  He is gifted, talented and knows his market.  Our home sold within 12 days and we found our dream home within one week. We were totally impressed and would recommend Michael to anyone who wants to sell their home quickly and not leave money on the table.”

— Shirley and Len, Clarence, NY

"After having my home on the market for six months and not receiving any offers, I decided to switch my home sale over to Michael Burke.  Michael immediately provided his professional opinion on what was needed to sell my house.  Not only did he have a lot of people going through the house but I also got an offer after a short time.  I was very impressed with the job Michael had done.  If I ever sell or buy a house again, I will be contacting Michael Burke!"

“We felt very fortunate to work with Michael Burke on our recent Real Estate transaction.  From the beginning of our moving process to the end, Michael was a professional, efficient agent.  All aspects of selling and purchasing were explained with precise detail.  Michael used a variety of resources to advertise our home which led to a sale in three short days! He was also keenly aware of our needs and subsequently found our new home in the same amount of time. The entire closing process went very smoothly. We found ourselves in a new home in less than two months.  It is no wonder that Michael recently became a member of the prestigious Key Club of Hunt Real Estate.  His ambition represents the best of Western New York real estate agents.  Michael symbolizes the integrity and commitment that are vital to his profession.”
