Testimonials

Whoever reads this please note that Michael is Leslie’s and my  realtor. I have had many real estate dealings in my life. We live in LA

 and have decided to relocate one day to Santa Fe. Utilizing Michael’s  expertise and dedication we purchased a fantastic home and with a

 great deal through Michael’s services as our realtor. We did it from  LA. He has done everything except pay for it. It is because of

 professionals such as Michael and his devotion, care, competence and  professionalism that we bought our home and because of people such as he we are looking forwards to our coming years in Santa Fe.

Michael flawlessly and professionally managed the following for us:

• As listing agent sold our property in Sierra Del Norte.
• We “had” to go to Hawaii. Michael supervised the movers and got us out of the house in time for the closing while we were away.
• He successfully negotiated the deal on our new house including allowing us to move in before closing just prior to our trip to Germany so that we were able to vacate our rental and return to our beautiful new home.
• Both closings were flawless.
• Icing on the cake: He sold our vacant land in a very difficult market.  Michael and his family are dear friends.

Michael,

I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your efforts selling my lot in Sierra del Norte. Despite the fact that there were many seeming limitations on the land; drainage and utility easements, setbacks and FEMA flood plain restrictions; you had buyers standing in line. Your patients and optimism, not to mention your marketing skills and attention to detail was what it took to find a buyer who finally saw the lands potential.

I would not hesitate to recommend your services and I hope that we may do more business in the future.

Sincerely,

Michael Henry, Architect

I first came in contact with Michael when we secured a house loan from Wells Fargo bank. He was referred by Joni Schukar (along with another realtor). From our first meeting, Michael has been tremendously professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He worked with us very closely and listened very carefully to our desires in terms of a home purchase. I work with the Government and I have moved frequently and dealt with realtors in both buying and selling other houses. I find that Michael is by far the best Realtor I have worked with in buying/selling homes. He searched diligently and found a house for us with all the requirements we needed within an acceptable price range. We then purchased the house.

It has been my experience that once you buy a house, you don´t hear from the realtor again. Michael is the rare exception. After we had bought the house, he has stayed in touch and sent us helpful information about housing and other areas of interest that may be helpful to home owners. I am now in the process of selling my house. I am using Michael as my broker. He continues to be professional, knowledgeable, and helpful to me and my wife. I feel comfortable that he is doing absolutely everything possible (including open houses, internet advertising, a very professional brochure of the house, and open houses with other realtors ? including catering) to help me sell my house.

In my opinion, it is rare to find a professional of the caliber of Michael Umphrey. I have recommended him to many of the people I work with when they are in the need of a Realtor and I would recommend him without reservation to anyone in the need of an outstanding realtor/broker.

Michael Umphrey dealt with the purchase of our new home and sale of our old in an efficient, as well as calm and friendly manner. Very important to us, he was available virtually 24/7, and made our two transactions easy. After the closing he continues to assist us whenever we need him. Michael is a great guy – we recommend him.
