About
I have 35 years of experience selling homes in your area. When entrusting a real estate agent with one of your largest assets, nothing is more important than experience. Experience translates to more money for you.

My “list-to-sell” ratio is 99%, while the industry average is 91.5%. This means I have a history of selling my clients' homes for 7.5% more than the average agent. Simply put, I put more dollars in your pocket!

My average “days on market” is 17, compared to the industry average of 104.

With me, you will receive full-time professional service and honest communication. Your time is valuable—choosing the wrong agent can cost you thousands of dollars. I encourage you to hire a professional real estate agent with a proven track record. Please call my office today to discuss a plan that’s best for you.

Ratings & Reviews

Tad and Lauren F.

We highly recommend working with Michael when buying or selling your home. He was out listing agent when selling our home and represented us when buying our next one. His communication and responsiveness went beyond our
expectations. He responds quickly! He truly is an advocate for your family through the entire process. Furthermore… we very much appreciated have a group text to discuss properties and strategies as it was the most efficient tool for us for quick feedback to determine which homes we wanted to look at and make offers. It was also fun working with him! It can certainly feel stressful selling / buying a home and Michael counters this stress with a lot of knowledge and it felt like he had our best interests at all times. Thanks again Michael!!

Mike and Kathy K.

“Michael did a great job in selling my home. His experience is invaluable… and it shows. He hired a professional photographer…helped me stage my home… and put his marketing plan to work. I got an offer in less than a month! I’m happy to recommend him."

Paul and Cindy G.

“I know a ton of realtors… and unfortunately have worked with a few of them. When another company & agent couldn’t sell my home… I got a call from Michael. He asked me for the opportunity to interview for the job of selling my home. I agreed reluctantly… expecting to hear more of the same. He is professional and explained exactly what he was going to do to sell my home. I
hired him on the spot. Home sold in 3 weeks!”

Richard C.

“I’m delighted to recommend Michael. He is professional and always responded to my questions and concerns quickly. I would absolutely hire him again.”

Paul and Beth P.

“Michael and his assistant Judy were a pleasure to work with during what is arguably one of the most stressful times of your life. There were many homes for sale in our area and price range… Michael’s aggressive marketing plan got the home sold in less than 2 weeks. We know we made the right choice for our realtor as we now sit in our new home without the worry of carrying two mortgages. We highly recommend him.”

Tom and Trisha K.

“Michael found our dream home… and then sold our home in less than a week… for over asking price. He is a true professional.”

Scott and Sheila K.

“Very pleased with the level of service Michael provided us during our recent home sale. He is professional, knowledgeable and responded to our concerns quickly. I’m delighted to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.”

Guy and Doretta D.

If you are like me, you are skeptical of all the five star ratings for Michael Atkinson. I will tell you the only reason I am giving Michael a five star rating is because 10 stars is not an option! Michael was one of 4 agents we interviewed when we were considering selling our home. He supported our thoughts and we decided to go ahead. We did a few days of prep and were on the market. In short, multiple offers, all over asking and sold in 36 hours from first showing. But, now we had to BUY a house and those prospects looked dim. We had resigned ourselves to a rent-and-wait (or build) strategy and we days away from signing a lease, when Michael found us the perfect house! It had gone on the market that morning. Exactly the house we would have built, in a neighborhood we had seen and liked. With Michael's advice we went in with a strong offer and 8 hours later we got the house! Besides the successes, Michael was very pleasant, responsive and patient. A true professional.

After interviewing other agents, I choose Michael to sell my childhood home. He showed the most enthusiasm of all the agents interviewed. He is very professional, was willing to listen to my thoughts, kept me informed through the entire listing/sale process and was always available to answer questions when needed. Four days after listing there were multiple offers, some above listing price. He made the entire process easy from the listing to the closing.
