Ratings & Reviews
If you need an agent, David is your man! Our situation was not difficult. We provided what we were looking for and David passed along any properties that fit the bill or were close so we could decide if we wanted to see them. Communication was good and he answered questions quickly. He made the process transparent and easy.
10/10 recommend David to anyone needing a good agent.
If I plan to buy other property again down the road, I'll be looking him up.
Very pleased all around! We highly recommend Mike and his team!
Amazing experience with Mike - just an incredibly hard working and helpful person!
The whole team ROCKS. On point and there when you need them. So quick to get back with you. I honestly don’t think my place would have sold with out them by my side!
I loved working with Trey. He was very knowledgeable, punctual, and diligent in setting up appointments to get us into the perfect home.
Mike is an extremely trustworthy and professional person to work with! I would highly recommend contacting Mike if you are interested in buying or selling properties in the Austin area
Mike and his team are amazing! We got our dream home, and they held our hands the entire time. I highly recommend the Takao team.
Mike and his team helped me both buy and later sell my house. He made both processes very smooth and trouble-free.
I have worked with the Takao team for the past 15 years and have nothing but positive things to say about this team. Mike is incredibly reliable, responsive, patient, and thorough. I cannot recommend this team enough!!
Mike is a man of honor and integrity who has handled 4 real estate transactions for my family with superb results! No agent can come close!
I had the distinct pleasure of working with Trey and his team on both the selling and buying side of our real estate adventure and it was fantastic! Trey worked under some very tight timelines that even looking back I can’t believe we did and were very successful. Selling our house was a quick decision, and within a 1 week and half of us making the decision – everything – was done despite his regular photographer being out. Trey was able to negotiate a fantastic (and perfect) deal for us – I could not believe the deal when we were going through them.
My parents also sold and bought a home during the same time I was and I almost went with the same realtor but we were not a match. Looking at my parents' experience and mine (side by side at the same time) I can say hands down Trey was 100+% better than his competitor.
We have worked with Mike on home purchases, sales and leases since 2016. He has been everything we would want in a real estate agent. He collaborates with you to understand your needs, does his research and explains potential risks in order for you make the right decisions. He is quite thorough in addressing your requests including making investment decisions regarding real estate.
Mike is a wonderful realtor to work with. He and his team are professional, trustworthy, and beyond helpful. They made the entire process smooth and seamless; I would highly recommend working with Mike if you are interested in purchasing or selling in the Austin area!
As a fellow Realtor, I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Takao and other teammates on the team; their professionalism, communication, and genuine care for their clients is outstanding. They truly put their clients first, listen to others needs, and respond strategically to the specific situations. If you want a streamlined, personalized process for your real estate needs- look no further than the Takao Home Team!
I have now worked with Mike and his team to both purchase a new house along with selling my old house. Throughout the entire process everyone involved was fantastic to work with. They kept me appraised of what was going on and what was needed throughout the entire process and always answered questions and emails promptly. I always knew exactly what was going on and, just as importantly, why. When/if I need to do anything with property and future, I will not hesitate to contact Mike and his team.
Mike and his team made the home selling experience great, even in challenging times!
We sold our Austin, TX condo in August 2020 and purchased a home in Georgetown, TX. The Takao Home Team walked us through every step of the sale of our home, beginning with tips on decluttering, updating, repairs and staging for the best outcome. Thanks to Mike Takao and his team, we were able to sell at the optimum pricing for our area in a short time. When we prepared to purchase this home, again Mike and his team made sure we had all the right inspections, and worked with the Seller’s agent and Realtor to protect our investment. Both closings were stress-free, as Mike advised us in the process to close as the Seller on our condo, and as the Buyer on this house. We are truly grateful we had Mike and his team of professionals working with us. The value of their combined knowledge, experience and upper level professionalism was priceless, especially at a time when we were having to pack and store all our household goods in preparation of a lengthy renovation of the home we purchased.
This was our third time using Mike as our realtor, and his team and him did not disappoint. He currently assisted us with the sell of our home in Circle C and a new home purchase out in Dripping Springs.
We were looking to list sometime in April and Mike could not have picked a better weekend to list our house. Laurie was super helpful with providing tips and suggestions before listing. We ended up in a multiple offer situation, where Mike’s experience and guidance was very helpful is assisting us in accepting a great offer, which was more than we were expecting. From the initial consultation appointment to closing day, Mike and his team were available with any needs or questions we had.
We would 100% recommend Mike to family and friends, in our opinion him and his team are the best in town!!
Mike helped my parents buy the house I grew up in, and now he came back to help me close on my first home. He’s been in the real estate business in Austin for a long time so he definitely knows the ins and outs of everything. I also like that he’s really honest and very easy to get along with. I highly recommend him for any real estate needs you may have - honestly, I don’t think I could ask for a better real estate agent.
I highly recommend Mike and his team. Laurie did an amazing job with getting our house prepped and staged properly to go on the market. Mike was super knowledgeable and made sure we got the best deal possible. The whole team was great at walking us through exactly how to sell our house as first time sellers.
I cannot express enough gratitude for Mike Takao and his team in selling my home. Their expertise and dedication to getting the best outcome for me were unparalleled. They guided me through every step of the way with professionalism and care. I felt supported and informed throughout the entire journey. They made the whole process a breeze so huge shoutout to Team Takao!
Mike Takao, very knowledgeable, professional and most importantly approachable. Having just left our home state of California to come for the first time to Texas we needed expert guidance in finding a new home. We found that in Mike Takao, his expert knowledge of the real estate market, professional guidance in directing us to locations and homes that were appropriate to our requirements was invaluable. Great guy, great realtor and remains a great friend.
Exceptional Service and Expertise. Mike possesses an impressive knowledge of the local market, which was evident in the personalized recommendations they provided.
Him and his team communication skills has exceed my expectations. I always felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. Whether it was promptly returning calls and emails or providing valuable insights during negotiations, Mike was always there to guide me every step of the way.
I would give Takao Home Team 10 Stars if I could. From the start Mike focused on looking for the home we wanted for our family. He made the offer within an hour on the same day we told him we wanted the house. That makes a hug difference when you are trying to get an offer accepted. He negotiated with our best interest in mind, and he delivered getting us the price we wanted and he even got us a few upgrades. The Takao Home Team – Mike, David, and Laurie were great, the way they handle business is second to none. He has great relationships with other agents and the title company staff we worked with making the process easy. I have heard stories of other agents who don’t answer your calls, or they take days to answer simple questions. Mike answered calls, replied to text messages almost immediately, even on weekends. I highly recommend the Takao Home Team! Thanks Mike!
Experienced. Knowledgable. Teamwork. Persevered. Ethical. Awesome. I went back to Mike because of his success with a prior sale of property in 2015. 2023 and 2024 has been a tough marketplace and Mike openly and patiently communicated with me throughout. Mike Takao Home Team does truly work as an innovative team. He brought in a wonderful home staging professional whose efforts reflected current design appeal. I am grateful to have received a very good price for my property.
