“Mercuryexceeded my expectations. He found us the best match in our price range andhelped with a complicated purchase from HUD. He has a deep understanding ofboth seller and buyer processes. I am impressed with his clear, documentedfollow-up & regular updates on status. He always includes names and contactinformation of everyone involved. He is impeccably professional AND wonderfullydown to earth. Add to this ethical and you can't do better. Mercury also has adeep network from qualified inspectors to "repair anything" pros whoknow their stuff. Being new to the area and a handy person myself, I was verypleased with the quality of referrals. Yes. I recommend him!”

Sold a home on Fieldstone Lane, Bainbridge Island in November 2011.

Atthe risk of writing a review/testimonial that may seem unbelievable....I'vebeen buying and selling real estate for over 35 years and Mercury Michael ishands down, the best real estate agent I've ever had the pleasure of workingwith. Mercury should be a relieve pitcher in the major leagues because he'dhave a multi-million dollar contract no doubt as one of the best'"closers" in the real estate business....Trust me....he'll get thejob done for you better than 99.9% of the rest of the self-proclaimed "professionals"out there! This guy is impressive and puts in ungodly hours to get it done anddone correctly!!! He worked tirelessly with a lot of issues resulting from oneof the seller's changing his mind many times during the listing and at the lastmoment. i can't state enough good things about him....5 stars!!! He more thanearns his money and is in a class onto himself!!! Great work Mercury!!!!!!!!

“Mercury made our recenthome purchase so pleasant. I can't believe I am saying that, since previousreal estate purchases and sales for us have been quite the opposite. Mercuryhelped us complete the sale with ease even though we were out of town most of thetime. He was in contact with us at least daily throughout, guiding us with hisexpert knowledge. If you are new to the area or not, Mercury has insights thatreally help you to learn specifics of your new location. One more thing....onmoving day, things were sort of hectic, as you would expect. Mercury was rightthere helping us. He installed our new washer and dryer. Can you believe it?Really, we could not have been happier with the service Mercury provided forus.”

“During this difficult down period especially for real estate,selling my condo was a fantastic experience. Mercury was always upbeat andreadily available. The sale was complicated due to the fact the buyer was outof the country and was buying sight unseen. Mercury knew a loan expert and wasable to make it happen so there will be no stress for me (80 years old).Working with him was great pleasure. He was a true friend.”

Bought ahome on Rose Ave, Bainbridge Island in July 2011.

“This is my second house purchasewith Mercury Michael in three years, and for a good reason. Mercury is verydetail oriented, organized, and on top of the game. This last purchase becamemore involved than usual and difficult because of mold issues, roof issues, andother problems became hard to deal with. On top of it the selling agent was newand inexperienced. This caused more uncertainty and a great deal more work forMercury as he double checked with all the sellers’ contractors, with theabatement people, roof contractors, inspectors etc... to make sure all the workwas done properly, guarantees and work performance receipts were forwarded andthat we could close in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mercury as a buyer’sagent to anyone who is serious about purchasing Real Estate. I promise thisreview is honest and respectful.”

Bought a home on Hood Canal Dr,Hansville in March 2011.

“Mercury worked with my husband and I as we looked for the right waterfronthouse. He was eminently patient with us, and really good at pointing out thepros and cons of each home. He quickly got to know us, which helped him pickout the right possibilities. Despite my taking forever to make up my mind, Hewas exceptionally responsive and helpful, and responded within an hour of anyphone call or contact. When we settled on a home, Mercury did a lot of researchon the area, and we had a productive negotiation process. After the contract,he quickly rounded up a number of excellent contractors, inspectors, geologistsand other folks to help us make the final tasks easy. This is our fifth realestate transaction, and it was truly the easiest, calmest process to date. Wefeel that we got a very good deal and would cheerfully recommend Mercury toanyone and will certainly call him again for future transactions.”

“Mercurywas nothing less than brilliant when it came to putting us in the right house,and jumping through all the right hoops. We had had a bad experience withanother agency and agent that led to a failed offer and negotiation. Afterletting them go and meeting Mercury, it was like night and day. Mercury was abreath of fresh air and voice of reason and counsel. He knows Bainbridge Islandlike the back of his hand. Not just the houses and the market, but theneighborhoods, a home and street's history, the other agents on island, thebuilders, contractors, inspectors, the title company, the parks, the beaches,the little local shops and restaurants. You name it, if he didn't know itpersonally, he knew how to find out and run something to ground for us withoutfail. We had a very unique home buying experience that was less than straightforward and simple, yet Mercury rolled with every punch and guided us throughthe process with sage advice and confidence. Mercury is not just our realtor,he's now our friend, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough.”
