Michael Rein - Testimonials

He is very knowledgeable and responsive. He's found us the exact home(s) we were looking for and sold ours quickly. 5 stars all around!

We were especially concerned that our North Barrington home of 24 years was somewhat dated, but Mike and Blake walked through our house with us multiple times and offered the perfect advice as to the quite reasonable adjustments needed to make it actually quite marketable. They provided excellent referrals for the painting, carpeting, and other professional services required. Most of all, however, they were consistently honest, realistic, and upbeat about the process. It was extremely important to us that they obviously loved our house, and believed that it possessed unmatched features and unique architectural details that would make the eventual sale a resounding success. And in the end, our trust was not misplaced. We acquired multiple offers within 4 days of listing, were under contract a day later, and closed 4.5 weeks after that. We are extremely grateful to Mike and Blake for their relaxed, warm, gracious, and exquisitely professional approach to this challenging life event. It goes without saying that we would recommend them without reservation.

!! He was nothing but professional in every way. He answered all my calls promptly and made the process as painless as possible. Thanks, Mike!

He came prepared with market data and was ready to get my house on the market. He had a network I could utilize to easily get all of my repairs, cleaning, and landscaping taken care of right away. Mike was proactive about pricing and was able to market the house correctly to get a quick offer. He was great with negotiating and got a great price for my house.

  He was able to accomplish in a few months what two other brokers were unable to do over a two-year span.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone preparing to purchase a home.

I knew this sale would be more complex, that's why I wanted to go with an agent, and I'm glad he was the one!

he knew why certain houses in the area had not sold, and what prospective buyers would be looking for. He spent al the time necessary to explain to us the best ways to show our house and what could expect along the way. In our opinion, he went beyond the call of duty to help make the sale and closing go well. We are extremely satisfied with Michael and his team.

He is the perfect example of how a realtor should act! I wouldn’t have anyone else sell my home. Bonnie Crane

He was always available to talk to me no matter where he was or what time it was when I called him with my concerns. He was professional. He was approachable. And, I felt that when I listed my home with him, I could trust that he was working for me the seller and not for the buyer.

He made selling our home (6 days after listing it) a painless, stress-free process! Thanks Mike!

He has vast experience in the real estate process and all related issues, and his knowledge of his market is beyond compare.

He helped to sell my mom's house. We had 3 offers in 2 days, he was very confident we would sell the house quickly and we did.

He followed thru on multiple details. I would highly recommend him without question.

We felt like we were handled with kit gloves from the very beginning. Everything worked so seamlessly! I would not hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends or family!

What a class act!

He keeps up with real estate law and you won't find a more ethically professional! He helped us dealing with a short sale and went above and beyond services--as we did not live in area, he met trades people at the house for us. His years of being an agent broker shows through in how he approaches contracts, and negotiations.

On top of that, he answers his phone calls, and takes care of business promptly.

He has gone far above and beyond what is expected. I highly recommend him as an agent. He was even able to help coordinate wirk with an estate sale company.

His knowledge of the market and his negotiating skills are second to none. He gets the job done

I really appreciate all he did, and look forward to working with him again.

He found us plenty of houses to view in spite of low inventory, and he found us a diamond in the rough. He even came up with an offer that was under asking and surprisingly the buyer accepted, unheard of nowadays. We ended up with our dream home in the end, and we couldn't have done it without Mike's help each step of the way.

He is very knowledgeable on all things related to buying and selling a home, as well as knowing the local community availability. He responded quickly to any and all of my questions and guided me along the process every step of the way.I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a competent, caring, and highly motivated realtor!"

Yes, I would enjoy a lunch at Beelow's anytime. I thanked john Sfire and Father Ryan for referring me to you to sell the house. Your market analysis was on point - identifying the realistic structural issues and obstacles to sell the house. The number of actual showings was a surprise to me and to get an acceptable offer in a week was the result of good marketing. The process of selling the house was painless for me (except for my work in cleaning out the house) and very professionally completed. I thank you and Cathy Wifler for a job well done. John Uriell

He knows how to set the best price, and which repairs need to be done to sell the home. He was an excellent guide through the house selling process! I highly recommend it.

It made for a seamless, stress-free process.

I made Mike work for my business by completing an interview to get a feeling for fit and then asking for two references to confirm their experiences. From the beginning, Mike made me feel comfortable even when I asked seemingly silly questions, and that continued through the buying process. Mike found my wife and I a gem of a house in this crazy real estate market, got it as a reasonable price, and saw us through to closing. He even guessed the appraisal value of the home to with $100. Incredible. I'd recommend Mike to anyone willing to work hard to find the home or investment property that's right for them. He'll find the right one for you.

Definitely 5 Star ! He is knowledgeable, professional, personable! He was always available and responsive to my questions and concerns by email, text or phone. Even when out of town on vacation !! He made a very stressful experience manageable and pleasant. Thanks Mike ! Couldn’t have done it without you !

We felt he had our best interest in mind 100% of the time, and it made for a painless, seamless process.

All of these platitudes result from many years of experience, and a thorough knowledge of the marketplace, effective negotiating, and people skills. I would recommend Mike to anyone seeking the best customer service, backed up by a wonderful staff of experienced support people. Based upon his success in selling a single family residence, I have already enlisted Mike's help in marketing my rental property portfolio, i

Another property moved in no time. 11 showing and under contract in 1.5 weeks and Mike was great at helping us negotiate and then move on from the first “low ball” offer and we ultimately sold at 98% of asking. A++

We highly recommend him.

!! Thank you again for everything!

Mike was great! He explained anything we didn't understand and stayed positive even when our first buyer backed out. We are very happy with everything the staff did for us at the Baird and Warner office. Thank you all!

He was always responsive, although a few times issues should have gone through our lawyer first and not have the lawyer informed after the fact. Overall we are very happy with Mike Rein and would definitely consider using him in the future.

Your knowledge and experience helped us tremendously to find the right house for the right price even during a pandemic. We appreciate your insight throughout the process to make this a smooth process. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy their next home!

His skills and knowledge went a long way to the success of the deal.

My experience with MICHAEL was excellent which I expressed in the last survey I participated in. He was very professional and took care of all of my needs.

Mike did his job very well. Thank you Steve and Melissa Holecsek

He was thoughtful yet honest and directed us in the right direction. I would suggest to anyone that they work with Mike. He was always responsive to our questions and concerns. He went beyond what other realters we have dealt with were willing to do. THANK YOU MIKE!

Having never sold a house before, Mike was informative and positive. Even after our first offer backed out, he thoroughly explained why and focused on the next offer. He has a great reputation and we saw why first hand. We ended up receiving our asking price and we can't thank Mike and his staff enough. To the entire office, Awesome Job and Thank you!

He not only knows the NW burbs like the back of his hand, he knows construction and can point out red flags of potential problems. I think he knows every realtor in Illinois, perhaps the entire US, and knows what is about to hit the market before the sellers have even told their mom. His assessment of which houses are good and which are bad rivals Santa's accuracy. Come to think of it, he's quite jolly, too. I wonder.... I've bought and sold a few houses in my life and Mike is the first Realtor who made me think the profession is underpaid. I encourage you to use him. You can thank me later.

He evaluated my home's condition, advised on some minor repairs and provided a contractor to make these modest improvements. Once the listing was activated, he monitored and updated me on all viewings and customer feedback through and including the final offer and acceptance. My sale closed on April 14th and Michael stopped by my new home to congratulate me and drop off my settlement check (rather than my having to visit the attorney's office to procure payment). He was immediately available to answer any questions during the short time it took him to market and sell my home. He certainly exceeded all my expectations. While I do not anticipate listing my current home anytime soon, Michael would be my first choice to handle any real estate transaction.

His expertise, knowledge on how to present my home, and his genuine caring about what my needs were during the process are sincerely appreciated. Thank you to Mike and his team for making this process seem effortless.

He maintained contact with us, had several open houses and was always prompt, respectful and friendly. He was easy to work with and conveyed a sense that selling our home was as important to him as it was to us.

In this crazy market Mike made this process smoother than we could have hoped for. With his help we quickly sold our home and got into a nicer home than we thought we could. He is the best realtor we have ever worked with. He's both professional, knowledgeable, and personal. Hands down we would not only work with him again but highly recommend him and his team.
