About

Mike did an great job assisting us with our new home build and purchase. He & his team did an amazing job on the sale of our prior firm. Mike specifically was very responsive to all of our questions, concerns & issues. His entire marketing team was very professional with handling the sale listing, advertising and photos. We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable organized team.

Mike and his agency exceeded our expectations when purchasing our new home and selling our old one. When we first met Mike at an open house he listened to what we were looking for and showed us several homes which were a good match. Although we didn't purchase anything at that time we liked how well he listened. Several years later we were still looking for the perfect home and ran into Mike again while looking at an empty lot he had for sale. Although we weren't interested in purchasing the lot Mike again impressed us with his straight talk and concern for what we wanted. Over time we found several homes which we thought would work, signed with Mike as our agent, and got our offers accepted. For one reason or other we found that these homes were not going to work out for us and Mike went to bat to help us cancel the offers. This is when we found out what a good realtor is worth. Mike never pressured us to finalize the deals even though he would be losing a sale. Instead he went to bat for us and helped us get out of the deals with minimal financial loss. We eventually found the house we had been looking for and Mike expertly helped us negotiate a great price. In addition, he also sold our old home at a price which was far more than we expected. I highly recommend Mike. If you are looking for a realtor who will give you straight advice and take a personal interest in getting you into a home which you will enjoy then he is the man.

Mike was great to work with from start to finish. My favorite part about working with him was how honest he was about everything. If you’re moving from out of state and don’t know the neighborhoods too well, he’ll tell you if he’d help his grandma buy the house you might be interested in. Mike was able to negotiate an amazing deal for our home and always had more idea to sweeten the deal if needed. He’ has a lot of knowledge of how homes are built and was pretty accurate in his rough estimates on repairs or additions. We look forward to using his skills again in the future.

I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Michael as our realtor from Ascend Realty. Selling a home can be a daunting task, especially when you're a few states away and unable to be physically present for every step of the process. However, Michael's expertise and dedication made the entire experience remarkably smooth and stress-free. One of the standout qualities of Michael was his in-depth knowledge of the local area. Despite not being on-site, we felt confident in his understanding of the market and the specific nuances of our neighborhood. His communication skills were exceptional – we were consistently kept in the loop with updates on showings, potential buyers, and any developments in the selling process. This level of transparency was invaluable to us as sellers. What truly set Michael apart was his efficiency. We needed to sell our house quickly, and Michael delivered on his promise, closing the deal in an astonishingly short two weeks. This quick turnaround not only exceeded our expectations but also showcased Michael's dedication to meeting his clients' needs. Beyond the standard responsibilities of a realtor, Michael and his team went above and beyond to ensure our property was in prime condition for showings and open houses. This included personally attending to tasks such as shoveling snow, exemplifying their commitment to presenting our home in the best possible light. The marketing strategy employed by Michael and his team was nothing short of impressive. They utilized a variety of communication channels to advertise our property, showcasing its unique features and attracting potential buyers. This multi-faceted approach undoubtedly played a crucial role in the swift sale of our home. In conclusion, I highly recommend Michael and Ascend Realty for all your real estate needs in the Black Hills. His professionalism, market knowledge, communication skills, and dedication to going the extra mile make him an outstanding realtor. Selling a home can be a challenging process, but with Michael on your side, you can trust that you are in capable hands.
