I began my career in real estate soon after graduating from Iowa.

Mike Long is an extremely exceptional realtor! He really took the time to find out our needs and wants. He did an awesome job negotiating the best price for our house. I will recommend Mike Long for all my friends and family!
After we had lost the initial sale of our home with another realtor, Mike Long was hired and sold our home again within 2 weeks. This allowed us to purchase the original home we wanted to buy from our first sale. The second sale had a few issues as well but Mike was able to get the deal done. We are very happy in our new home and very grateful to Mike for helping us make it happen.

My husband and I appreciate that Mike Long is very hands on and addressed each of our concerns personally. It was refreshing to communicate with him directly rather than having to discuss our situation with someone unfamiliar with our transaction.
Mike Long is a very professional real estate agent. He is knowledgeable, honest and has exhibits a lot of integrity. My husband and I were comfortable and confident in his abilities from start to finish. Mike was always available to answer questions and assist with any of our needs. We appreciate his representation of us in selling our family home.
Mike Long was always one step ahead throughout our home buying process. As a true real estate professional, we found him to be pro-active, creative, insightful and knowledgeable. On multiple occassions during our negotiations, he suggested key strategies that we feel helped us secure our new house. We would recommend him without hesitation to any buyer who wants to work with the best in this industry!
Mike was amazing at helping guide us in finding our new home. He really took the time to explain and even teach us along the way. Never once did we feel rushed or worried. He made the buying process fun. Mike was great!
Mike was excellent. He is very knowledgable, friendly and made our first home purchase go smoothly. Thanks!!!
Mike Long was the consumate professional when handling our home purchase in Geneva. He paid attention to everything we said, focused our search based on the input he received from us, and showed us so many homes that met our criteria that it was very hard to finally choose!
When we did decide on a house, and we had some difficulty with the property, Mike Long was right there to help guide us through the muddy waters, give us the proper advice, and ultimately get us quickly into the house we eventually purchased when we had to cancel our original choice.
Mike Long reassured us all along the way during this time, and made what was a very stressful and difficult problem so much easier with his handling of the situation.
The best part was Mike Long was able to accomplish all of this and keep us within the timeline for moving that we had to meet due to the requirement of our relocation company.
We had to have our house sold in California, house purchased in Illinois, packed, loaded, moved, and unloaded within 4 months of April 14, 2014. Because of Mike Long, we were able to accomplish this huge task not only on time, but a full month early!
I would recommend Mike Long to anyone looking to have a professional, hard-working, focused, people-oriented real estate broker in their corner. I would use Mike Long again tomorrow if I had the need, and would recommend him to family, friends, or anyone for that matter without hesitation or worry.
Thanks Mike for all you did for us...so very much appreciated!

To anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home, I would highly recommend Mike Long. He assisted my wife and me with the purchase of our first home in Naperville. Working with Mike was a truly great experience for numerous reasons.
First off, he is an exceptional, experienced realtor that provides insightful guidance in order to assist you in making your own informed decision. Mike has spent his entire life in the western suburbs and has a wealth of local area knowledge that he uses to point you in the area and type of home that is right for you. As you look at homes, it can be difficult to differentiate between them. In looking at various homes with Mike, I was able to openly state what I liked about a home as well as get his thoughts (both positive and negative) on certain properties in comparison to others based on his experience. This was extremely helpful as my wife and I narrowed down areas and specific properties to consider and ultimately agree on our new home!
Secondly, Mike is always available and accessible. He picked up the phone anytime that I called with a question or wanted to setup time to see homes. He was available to talk or meet at our convenience throughout the entire home buying process. There is no doubt that he is committed to his clients. This committment doesn't end when the deal has closed. If you need anything after the fact whether it be a roofer or a plumber or any other recommendation, he is just a phone call away and can provide you not only with credible recommendations but its the same people that he uses on his own home!
Lastly, Mike was instrumental in getting my wife and me a reasonable and fair price on our home. He worked diligently in researching comps in the area and communicating/negotiating with the seller's agent. Both of which allowed us to get our home for the right price.
Mike is an outstanding real estate professional. His committment to his clients is second to none! I have already recommended him to numerous people looking buy and sell their homes, and I will continue to do so.
My wife & I relocated from Richmond VA with no knowledge of the area. Having Mike as our realtor made this experience much easier. His knowledge of the area was outstanding. Mike spent several hours driving us around just talking about the different areas. This added touch was extremely helpful.

When deciding to purchase a home we wanted to find a realtor that had good knowledge of the suburbs we were looking in as we were coming from the city. A friend of my husbands recommended Mike Long to us. Mike was great to work with from begining to end. He was extremely patient in showing us homes in multiple suburbs to determine which area we liked best and also in handling the process of newly weds buying their first home together and determining the different priorities of each of us. While we were looking at the design of the home Mike took his time to look at the structure of each home to ensure each home was of good quality which is what made us truly trust him and his opinion of the homes. I believe the trust we got from Mike during the looking process is what helped us negotiate a great price on the home we found. We trusted Mike to advise us during the negotiating process to ensure we made strong enough offers for consideration but also got a good price for the home.
I would high recommend Mike as he is not only great at what he does but he was a pleasure and fun to work with. Home buying can sometimes be a stressful process but Mike made our first home buying experience enjoyable!
Mike was wonderful in helping us with our home buying experience! He was very knowledgeable about not only the market but 'home stuff' as I like to call it, going from a condo to owning a single family home is overwhelming and Mike was super helpful in numerous ways! He want above and beyond our expectations!
Mike Long made it a priority to understand what I was looking for in a home. He set realistic expectations with me and never pushed me to move up to another price range. Due to low inventory at the time, the search was long, but Mike persevered and found me the perfect home. Lastly, Mike was friendly and funny with an easy personality that made spending time with him a pleasure. I highly recommend Mike Long!

Mike Long is very unique in his field. We have worked with many agents on both the buying and selling side and there is no question that Mike stands above all others. The level of service he gave was impeccable. He provided very good opinions and feedback with many of the houses we saw. He gave very good advice as to which areas we would have more success in finding what we were looking for. He also gave very valuable commuter information which was important to us in selecting an area. He is the first agent we have dealt with that truly cared about our needs being met and not about just making a sale. He was honest and truthful every step of the way. Would HIGHLY recommend him.
Mike was awesome. We had dealt with another Realtor previously and were not happy. Mike came in, put our house on the market for MORE money and sold the house in 22 hours for basically the full asking price. His recommendations were well worth the effort and definitely made the difference with the sale. The whole process went very smoothly with no issues.
