Mike's Approach:
Most Realtors spend the majority of their time and resources prospecting for future business - things like cold calling, door knocking, advertising, direct mail, etc... I devote myself to serving the needs of my clients before, during, and after each transaction. All I ask is that while I'm working for you, I would like you to refer me to people of comparable quality to yourself, who are thinking of buying or selling a home, and who would appreciate this same level of attention... You see, as long as you and my other clients keep referring me, I don't have to go out prospecting like everyone else, and I can do an even better job working for you.
Mike Regan's Testimonials
Dan, Kim, Ellie, Rebecca, J.D. and Grace Yoakum:

"Wow! In the midst of this crazy economy Mike sold our home in 26 days for a higher price than we expected! He showed us the wisdom of making smart improvements to our home and pricing it realistically, and as a result we stood out among all the homes available in our area. What a relief to have it done, and what an opportunity we have now to get a great deal on our next home!"
McGuire, Andrea, Andrew, and Garrett Graham:

"Mike sold our house in one day and got by far the highest price ever paid in our subdivision. Our neighbors love him because it increased home values for all of them. It all happened so quickly. He came in and gave us a lot of advice, we did everything he suggested, and it sold within 24 hours! It was really nice to have it over and done with quickly so we didn’t have to worry about showings and keeping the house perfect with two kids. Mike’s staff did a great job staying on top of the details through the closing and keeping us informed. Wonderful experience!"
Ginger & Dan Miller:

"Mike sold our home in 10 hours and got the highest price ever paid in our neighborhood for a home in our size range. The advice he gave us about preparing our home made the difference. He made the effort to build a relationship with us, he listened and understood our concerns, which helped a lot during what was for us an emotional move. Mike’s team provided the best customer-oriented service we’ve ever experienced, throughout the process and even after the sale. Finally, Mike did a great job negotiating a low price on our new home. By our calculations, our home is already worth 5% over our purchase price."
Rich, Holly, Hannah & JC Gilbert:

"Mike sold our home in 11 days and got it closed 9 days later. He accomplished this for us in a tough market: compared to one year ago, there were 34% more homes on the market in our price range and geographic area. Mike and his staging consultant advised us to make several reasonable changes to the home to differentiate our property, in order increase our return-on-investment and decrease our days-on-market. In hindsight the strategy was brilliant. During our relocation, we had a lot to think about, and Mike’s team was so prompt and responsive we never had to worry. That came as a huge "
Dan & Shelley Ayers, with baby Hadley:

"“Mike and his team sold our home in eight days in a neighborhood that was not appreciating. We could not have been more impressed. From the beginning, Mike listened carefully to our concerns and found ways to maximize our sales price. He hired an appraiser to measure our home and found more square footage than we thought we had, which got us an additional $5,000. The advice from his staging consultant was pivotal – she showed us where to strategically invest a reasonable amount of money to maximize the appeal of our home. Mike’s listing coordinator stayed on top of what was going on with potential buyers, getting feedback from them, and handling repair requests after we got the contract. During a very stressful time in our lives, with Shelley pregnant, it could not have gone better."
Cooper, Joel, Jennifer & Gracie Mullen:

"“Everything was perfect. Mike explained the process clearly at the beginning and priced our home exactly right. Both he and his assistant were in touch with us throughout the process. Whenever we had a questions they always called us back within an hour or two. The vendors he suggested were wonderful. For example, his carpet guy was able to patch our carpet by taking a piece out of the closet rather than replacing all of it, saving us thousands of dollars! We trust Mike and will refer him to our friends.”"
Dave Riggs with his son, Noah:

"We needed a quick sale. Our property had been on the market for 159 days when we bought it, and I did not want the same thing to happen to us! Mike showed us how a few prudent investments in the master bathroom and landscaping, plus staging, would pay for themselves several times over and get our home sold fast. He suggested some great vendors, and we made the changes. We put the house on the market, and Mike brought us two offers within three days, and we got 99% of list price. Then he turned around and negotiated a great deal on the other end. Our new home appraised at 7% higher than the purchase price. It sure was nice to have that kind of equity the day we moved in! Mike is not your typical real estate agent. His approaches are innovative and he blew away our expectations."
Allison & Anthony Greco:

"At first, we tried selling our home by ourselves, and had no results at all. Then our neighbor, Charles Parker, told us about Mike, and we realized we needed a professional to help us. As soon we met Mike we felt comfortable he would take good care of us. Instead of rushing our home to market, he developed a strategy to prepare our home so it would sell for the highest price possible in the shortest amount of time. One thing Mike convinced us to do was replace the carpet in our family room (in fact, he had a carpet person out there 24 hours later, and the guy did the job very quickly and for a reasonable price). Although we resisted spending the money to improve our home, we later realized that it was the smartest thing we could have done. As a result, Mike sold our home in 24 days and at a great price."
Shelly, Jackson, and Jeff Stow:

"Mike sold our home in 2 days for a great price. His advice about how to prepare our homes for sale was key. His contractors saved us at least 20% over what we would have had to pay otherwise. What we liked most of all about Mike was his negotiation skills. The buyer was being really tough on the repair request and Mike gave us straightforward advice, never making us feel pressured to give in to get the deal done. We stood our ground and he backed us up with the other agent, and in the end we got the home sold on our terms. From the beginning, we had no doubt Mike was looking after our best interests."
Chuck & Lynn Wedra:

"Before we called Mike, we had our home on the market for two years. We’ve been waiting that long to move to Phoenix to be near our grandchildren. Finally, a friend of ours told us about Mike, and he came over and told us what we needed to do differently. Sure enough, he got our home sold in 36 days, and we are off to spoil those kids!"
Val & Ryan Hurley, with Lucas, Mega Jillian:

"Mike helped us build our home a year ago, and was a strong advocate on our behalf with the builder; you cannot imagine how many problems he solved for us. A year later, Ryan’s company moved to Cleveland. We had no idea how to price our home because we were the first in the neighborhood to sell. Mike convinced us to price it higher than we expected, he sold it in 14 days, and we made a $70,000 profit on a $360,000 home! We were ecstatic, (and so were our neighbors!). Mike is the Gold Standard."
Jerry & Courtney Bunker:

"We thought it would take up to 60 days to sell our home, because there were a lot of homes for sale in our neighborhood, and we knew how long they were staying on the market. Mike sold our home in 17 days, and for a great price. He was a strong, but diplomatic negotiator, getting us a better price and eliminating some things we didn’t want in the contract. He returned our calls immediately, and in general, we really felt he took good care of us."
The Bedolli family:

"After being out of work for almost a year, my husband landed a job in northern Virginia. Our savings were gone and we just wanted to do the minimum to get our home sold. We expected $300,000 and several months on the market. Mike convinced us that a few well-chosen improvements would get us more for our home in less time. We borrowed $12,000 and followed his advice. Mike put the home on the market for $339,900, and in two days we had two competing offers. We were stunned and thrilled when Mike negotiated a final price of $347,000. We flat out never could have afforded the home we are in now without that profit of $35,000. Mike made a tremendous positive difference in our lives."
Mike with Susan Darby:

"“Our last realtor raised our expectations by telling us she could get a high price for our home, but then she didn’t do anything but stick a sign in the yard and call every month to lower the price. Mike took a more thoughtful approach and convinced us to make a few prudent changes to our home to create value that buyers would appreciate and pay for. Then Mike sold our home in ZERO days to one of his buyer clients before it even came on the market, and it closed in three weeks! I was thrilled with the price, and so were the buyers because they got so much value for their money. Mike knows the business of real estate, and he uses his knowledge to benefit his clients first. I am so thankful Will Warren referred Mike to me.”"
John & Amy Farner:

"We had to move back to DC for a new job, and after owning our home in Raleigh for only 11 months, we still made money on the sale! Mike got us a great deal when we bought it, then he sold our home in 21 days. What we liked about him from the very beginning is that Mike looks at real estate from a professional business perspective, which gave us a real advantage in analyzing the market and in negotiations. He was always very realistic with us about what we should expect, and everything he told us came out to be true. Mike was very responsive to all our questions, and the whole process was smooth."
Steve, Lori, Hannah,Ashton, Kade, & Elizabeth Hobbs:

"I’m in the real estate industry, and I’d always heard about how quickly Mike and his team sell homes. His plan to prepare our home for sale was exactly right, and his advice on pricing was insightful and accurate. Sure enough, he sold our home in 28 days. Thanks Mike!"
Steve & Anne Yager & family:

"Mike sold our home, for a record price per square foot, before it officially came on the market! He understands exactly how buyers make decisions, and for several weeks he and his team had been helping us make reasonable investments to increase the perceived value of our home (we got a 300% return on our money, according to our calculations). In the meantime, Mike was “pre-marketing” our home to his buyers and to other agents with whom he had built relationships (it was one of those agents who brought the offer). Without question, Mike and his team earned every penny of the commission we paid, with a nice profit left over for our family."
Mark & Leslie Griffith:

"Mike sold our home in this tough real estate market in 13 days, and he got us a much higher price than we expected. We thought we’d come out about even on this home, and we ended up making a very nice profit! His suggestions for low-cost improvements made all the difference; but he also saved us money telling us not to do some things we had planned to do, because they wouldn’t help. He also helped us purchase a fantastic new home at a price well below market value. He and his assistants made the whole process convenient and easy for us."
Dennis & Cindy Lassiter:

"“Mike sold our home in 30 days at 99% of list price! Before meeting him, we had our home listed for six months with a ‘low-cost limited service’ broker with no results. Then a friend recommended Mike Regan. He and his team analyzed our home, and showed us how several simple changes would make a big difference. His ‘tough love’ approach was just what we needed in this market, and it got us quick results!”"
Tyler, Sarah, Monica, and Hubert Barkley:

"I paid full commission to Mike, and he and his team were worth it. They have an integrity with what they do, they are committed to doing what’s right to get the house sold. Mike told me the truth, including some things I didn’t want to hear, but what he told us worked, and we got it sold for the price we wanted, and quickly. Mike’s assistant was a bulldog interceding with our builder on our behalf, she doesn’t put up with any weak answers. So pleasurable to work with. We formed a good friendship, and the experience was a real pleasure. "
Libby, Tyler, Damon, & Sydney Stevenson:

"Mike did an exceptional job of selling our home – in 20 days we had 21 showings and a contract. He brought several innovative marketing approaches we never expected, and they were extremely effective. He was also a great negotiator. He truly put our interests first and was assertive with the other side without pushing them away. He not only got us a good price, but also worked out several challenges in our favor during the repair negotiations. Thanks Mike, for your wise advice and quick results."
Joey & Jennifer Pippin:

"Mike sold our house in six days for a whole lot more than we ever thought we’d ever sell it for, especially compared to the other homes in the neighborhood. We had sold a previous home by ourselves, but there were a whole lot of headaches. Having Mike handle the sale of our home this time was a stress-free selling experience – just so much more calm and easy for us. Mike gave us sound, realistic business advice throughout the process, and was an assertive and creative negotiator. His idea of asking for a flooring allowance on our new home got us a better deal than we probably would have received otherwise. We will definitely recommend Mike and his team to our friends. "
Doug & Linda Winters:

"Mike sold our home in 12 DAYS for the HIGHEST PRICE ever paid in our subdivision! We bought the home only 18 months ago, but between the negotiating Mike did when we bought it and the price he got when we sold it, we came out ahead. He listened carefully to our thoughts and stayed in touch the entire time. Everything went extremely smoothly. We were amazed by the checklists and attention to detail by Mike’s team. We recommend him every chance we get. "
The Linden's:

"Was on market 2 months with other realtor.Got the house sold!Sold quickly, especially compared to everyone else in the neighborhood it sold REALLY quickly.Mike set expectations accurately, we knew what to expect.Advice on what to alter and fix, we would have never done it. His strategy to appeal to the most number of buyers was logical, but we never would have thought of it. We didn’t like all of Mike’s advice, but it made sense to us and we did it.Communication with them was good. Both Mike and Lisa was good at staying on top of things and checking in with us. Mike’s assistants were really flexible in meeting us, working around our work schedules.Tough time in market to sell, but Mike succeeded for us while other homes were sitting."
