Testimonials
"From the start, Mike was an excellent partner and facilitator in the home sale process. He was always responsive, helpful and attentive to my questions and concerns. It was very pleasant working with him. I dealt mostly with Mike, but the assistant at the DC office, she was very pleasant and efficient as well on the day I had to come in to do something at that office. Wouldn’t change a thing about it. Totally satisfied with the service received!"
- C. Alcuaz"There are not enough words to describe Michael’s outstanding professionalism: his market knowledge, responsiveness, expertise, attention to detail, ability to read and match clients’ preferences, follow through and ability to close the deal .. all with ease and calm. I’ve worked with many real estate agents in various areas of the country and have never before experienced this level service. Every detail was expertly managed. Michael could give seminars on how to be an outstanding agent."
- P. Murphy"Fantastic service. Mike is incredibly responsive, knowledgable and outgoing. He is proactive in identifying next steps and can anticipate issues before they arrive. He provides unparalleled customer service. Mike handled everything, to my knowledge. Had no other interactions. "
- J. Haigh"I have enjoyed working with Mike Makris to find and purchase my new home, and he went above and beyond consistently "to destress" a process that can be very stressful. He put together a great selection of houses what would fulfill our specific needs and identified additional homes as he got to know me and what I liked in a home. He was highly responsive to my many questions and requests and helped me put together the best deal to get the house I chose for my family. His follow up after the sale has been excellent as well, as he has helped me navigate the rent back period and identify resources for work I need to get done on the house. I am sure that Mike can be as responsive as he is because of the support he gets from the agency; while I may not have experienced that on a day-to-day basis, I am sure the right infrastructure is in place! This transaction has honestly been the best I have experienced when buying or selling a house."

- S. Knoll"Mike was highly responsive and always available to answer our questions. He was incredibly patient with us, particularly given the number of first-time homebuyer questions we had about the whole process."
- R. Lindberg"Personal, committed, above and beyond the call of duty! Highest possible industry standard. Agent bends over backwards to do personal favors to make transaction possible for landlords who live out of state."
- T. Cutchen""Excellent! Made the home buying experience extremely simple, well organized and decreased stress. No suggestions for improvement, it was the best home buying experience I have had.""
- S. Bowles"Outstanding. Super friendly, efficient, willing to work with me to find a good fit. All in all just a terrific agent."
- L. Danielsson"Mike was terrific - he was flexible, attentive and willing to do extra work since we were moving cross-country."
- E. Ohlsen"Mike replies promptly to emails and phone calls. He was always quick to follow-up with viewing properties or tracking down pertinent information on my behalf."
- J. Adams"Michael was very responsive, respectful, fun to work with and beyond helpful the entire time we worked with him. We moved from Indiana with very little knowledge about what we were doing, or where we wanted to be and he helped us navigate an intimidating market in a way that made everything very approachable, and we ended up in a home we couldn't be happier about. I would absolutely recommend Michael Makris."
- A. Prince"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Mike Makris to find our new home in the DC area. Mike was everything a professional should be: knowledgeable, reliable, and thorough. But most important to us was his ability to really listen to what we wanted and needed in a new home. When we could not find exactly what we wanted in DC, Mike was willing and able to rethink our search and find us a wonderful house in Virginia. We would definitely work with Mike if we ever needed to move again."
- D. Green"I write to praise Michael Makris for his extraordinary service to me. I called McEnearney cold in mid-October and was referred to Mike. Our home in Hollin Hills had been on the market since March. I retired end of May, and my retirement financial plan was premised upon the sale of our house. Its sale would end that mortgage, and profit from it also would enable us to pay off the mortgage on our retirement home. Over 8 months we grew increasingly frustrated with our initial realtors, whom we found too passive and insufficiently communicative. From my first conversation with Mike, we found him exactly the opposite. He saw that selling the home as promptly as possible was our top priority, and persuaded us to make a few modest cosmetic improvements and to lower the price sharply. We signed with him on November 1, 2012, and he attacked the sales challenge like a dynamo. On the same evening that we signed our agreement, Mike had to drive to Wisconsin to see his dying grandfather; however, he stayed in touch by phone and computer all weekend. He arranged the cosmetic improvements, and produced special circulars and ads featuring our house's new lower price. He also held open houses on successive weekends. We spoke several times a week, and frequently exchanged emails. We got a contract offer on November 21, after less than three weeks on the market! After some negotiation, Mike called me on Thanksgiving morning - from Wisconsin, where he'd gone to bury his grandfather and have a family reunion - to tell us a deal was in place. We had much to be thankful for. Mike's service didn't end there, as over the next several weeks there were numerous small things that needed to be taken care of around the home, and Mike arranged for them to be done...including, climbing a ladder himself to clear a roof drain of falling leaves. Mike won our confidence from the start. He was sharp, focused, friendly, persuasive, energetic, communicative and effective. He stayed on top of our sale from day one through the close, and kept us fully informed. I think he is truly exceptional; McEnearney is fortunate to employ him."
- R. Rankin"Mike helped me purchase my first home. I searched for one and a half years, visiting some properties multiple times. Mike was patient with me the entire time. He was a valuable resource throughout the process, providing the advice and knowledge that I needed. I will use Mike again and would refer him to friends and family."
- D. Pullion"We could not be more grateful to have found Mike Makris as our realtor. We love our new home, and would not be moving into it without Mike. You will not find a more dedicated, responsive, and professional real estate agent out there. From giving us the earliest notice possible of properties coming on the market, to walking us through all aspects of being first time homebuyers, Mike was everything we could have asked for. We are truly grateful to him and hope that many many others get to have the same wonderful experience that we."
- J. Fleisher"Mike was the perfect resource for me as a first time home buyer. He provided me with all of the information I needed without making me feel pressured to look at places or close in a certain time frame."
- M. Bradley""My husband and I just purchased our first home a couple of weeks ago. As first time buyers, the process was overwhelming, to say the least. Mike was a tremendous asset to us throughout the entire process, from the initial conversation to ensure that we had our finances in order, to the last minute questions we had on closing day. Mike was extremely patient with us as we worked to determine what we really wanted in our first home, thoroughly answering all of our questions about the process and guiding us through each of the steps. Once we identified the home we wanted to purchase, Mike brainstormed with us on how to make our offer the most attractive it could be, staying on the phone long past the regular business hours. Overall, Mike went above and beyond what we expected our agent to do and we would highly recommend him to family and friends.""
- M. Hago""We loved working with Michael. He was very responsive and professional - and patient! He showed us things we loved and opened our possibilities to new neighborhoods. The transaction was flawless.""
