About
My name is Michael C Harbord and I am a real estate professional with over 25 years in the industry. I am a lifelong resident of Ocean County making me very familiar with neighborhoods, schools, and recreation in the Jersey Shore. My expertise encompasses a broad range of homes from low-end to high-end, including waterfront, condominiums and adult communities throughout the area. I proactively advise my clients on every aspect of home selling and purchasing while achieving optimal results. Through my extensive experience I have developed and implemented strategies that lead the way through the transaction process by keeping abreast of the changing market conditions, trends, and property values.

Michael was very experienced and professional. He assisted me from the start in determining the best-selling price and provided council and insight throughout the process. He maintained excellent communication with me and all parties involved. Not only that, but he also followed up at the end to assure my satisfaction.

Michael Harbord went above and beyond helping our family sell my father’s house. He communicated every step of the way and made sure that every detail was taken care of. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Michael Harbord. He is very knowledgeable and is a great communicator. Selling a house from out of state can be difficult, but Michael took care of everything.

Jennifer Jobes
Toms River, NJ

Mike sold our house in two hours! We couldn't believe it!

When my husband and I realized that we had outgrown the home Michael originally found for us six years ago, and that we needed to find another home for our growing family, the first thought we both had was "Call Mike!" Mike is an exceptional realtor. Personable and down to earth, Mike makes sure to make his clients feel like they are his top priority. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and was very patient throughout our many questions. Even though Mike has helped us find our forever home, he will always be "Mike Awesome Realtor" in our phone contacts, and will always be the first name we recommend when we hear of friends and family who are looking for a realtor.

We would highly recommend Michael Harbord as he made the process of selling a home and buying another so much easier than we thought it would be.
Michael was always prompt with appointments, returned all phone calls, and went the extra mile to make sure we were well-informed.
He was highly professional in his demeanor, and appearance, and his service was always delivered with a smile.

Bob R

Michael is a kind, understanding and knowledgeable professional. He knows the answers and if he doesn't he is quick to find out. He is willing to help and very available with every step of the process. He found me the home I was looking for and provided many suggestions to make it a very smooth transition. You will not regret your experience with Michael. He will get the home you are looking for at the price you are willing to pay.

Seller in Toms River

Michael is extremely knowledgeable and professional in his work. When he priced my home, he quoted "This is most likely what you will get for your home." Well when the couple came in and bought our home for that price (asking price), I was thoroughly impressed. I would highly recommend Michael Harbord!!!

Meghan F

Michael Harbord was nothing short of amazing, we can't say enough great things about him and the experience of buying our first home! It is a stressful process, and Michael made it as painless as he possibly could. He listened to our wants and needs, he was available for any questions or concerns - we felt that he really cared about us and helping us making our dream of owning our first home a reality. He is very proactive, and great at constant and consistent communication. We were originally under contract for a short sale, but found another home that we fell in love with while waiting to hear back from the bank. We were able to get out of the short sale and purchase the home of our dreams! He talked my husband and I off the ledge on more than a few occasions and put our minds at ease. He is very proactive, and also helpful in explaining the whole process of what is going on, & has to happen and he keeps on top of all the entities that need to do their part in making the process.

Buyer in Toms River

Michael was more than awesome. He knew exactly what my wife and I were looking for, was very responsive and had a wealth of knowledge. As first time home buyers we were a little scared and did not know much about the process but Mike walked us through each step and made the process easy and comforting. he also was able to recommmend lawyers, inspectors and mortgage lenders all within our budget.

Seller in Brick

Incredible agent and person was a pleasure to work with and he went above and beyond to get my home sold. I would recommend Michael to everyone trying to buy or sell a home , he is amazing.

Noel S

Michael was extremely knowledgeable and helped every step of the way. He was patient with us as we went back and forth on many properties. He always made sure we understood he worked for "us" and whatever we decided he backed us up 100%. Actually helped us avoid some pitfalls along the way as well.

Michael H

I just completed my second real estate transaction with Michael Harbord as my agent and I couldn't be more pleased. Michael is a true professional who clearly loves his line of work. He is extremely knowledgeable and highly available when questions or issues arise. Look no further as he's the person you want in your corner when buying or selling a home!

Buyer and Seller in Toms River

Laura G

Michael was extremely responsive. I had a different agent I had to terminate after 6 months. I live out of state so Michael keeping me informed and providing options to enhance the ability to sell my home was exceptional. I highly recommend him.

Seller in Toms River

Michael came to my home, I was really needing to sell my home quickly as it was listed so long with another company, I just told him when I needed to moved and why, he went right to work lining people up to see my house,
He made sure that the house looked good for inspection and fire inspection. I hope you call him too, not just a realtor but also a friend
