Client Testimonial

About a year and a half before we moved to Spokane we came upon
Michael Keller's site. We signed up for his instant email service
and were able to begin looking at homes fitting only our specific
parameters without any pressure. This service was invaluable
because it allowed us to view homes as they came on the market, as
prices were changed, and as they were sold from our residence in
Southern California. Approximately every six months, Michael sent
an email to see if we still wanted to receive the listings. If we
had a specific question about a certain home, he readily responded
by email or phone. When we were ready to move and had the pleasure
of meeting Michael in person, we were even more pleased.
During our three-day search of many homes, we learned a great deal
and found the most wonderful home which not only contained all our
preferences, but fit within our price range. I would highly
recommend Michael's services to anyone looking for real estate --
and not only in the greater Spokane area. I say this for the
following reasons:
1) His knowledge of the greater Spokane area and real estate is
outstanding. He readily told us if a home we looked at exceeded
going price ranges (even though it might have meant more commission
for him). He felt one house we looked at was over priced, and he
felt that the listing realtor was not going to encourage the sellers
to lower the price. Since we were somewhat in a hurry to buy
something before our escrow closed in California, this was very
helpful.
2) He pointed out issues we may not have noticed -- such as "high
traffic" or "extensive landscape area." He is very knowledgeable
about each surrounding area and advised where stores, churches,
schools, and even restaurants were. He even showed me where See's
candy was and where Kohl's would be!
3) He went out of his way to contact the listing realtors for
several of the homes and helped us understand the seller's
perspective for each home.
4) Mr. Keller was incredibly patient. The 17 homes we elected to
see were quite far apart, and he put hundreds of miles on his car to
reach them.
5) Mr. Keller's supporting experts (inspector, escrow officer) were
amazing. The escrow officer even helped us find a vet for our sick
cat and recommended a great plumber to help us install some new
shower heads.
6) His website is incredible! The resources were such a great help
to us in many ways. His links to everything you could want to know
are right there. In addition, Mr. Keller had instant information on
utilities, waste, internet providers, driver licensing, etc.
7) Perhaps one of the best distinctions is Mr. Keller's sense of
humor. This got us through some tough moments during our monumental
move from California to the wonderful inland Northwest.
Knowledge, integrity, professional, experienced, and funny... what
more could you want!

Micheal Keller was an outstanding Realtor in my search for a home in the Spokane area. His assistance began many months before I actually moved to the area. Listings were emailed to me on a regular basis after I noted the features I hoped to find in a property.
Once I arrived to stay in the Spokane area, Michael arranged many visits to properties of interest. It was because of his attention to the current market and my specific interests that led us to the house I own now.
I highly recommend Micheal Keller as a professional realtro who goes above and beyond!

We found Mr. Keller to be very knowledgeable and helpful. He did not do the "hard sell" which some Realtors unfortunately inflict on their clients. We found his calm approach to be refreshing and it relaxed us as we looked for a home. People do not need to be "stressed out" as they look for homes and he was calm, competent and was very patient with us.
We would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Keller as an agent. If you want a Realtor who knows the market, who works very hard, and who is a good listener, then he is the person to consult. We would certainly use him again.

Stephanie and I have lived on the East Coast our entire lives. However, after enjoying a number of business-related visits to Spokane and the surrounding region, we came to believe that Spokane would be a great city to live in for a wide variety of reasons.
Since we knew very little about the real estate market in Spokane, we decided that we had to find a Realtor who was both knowledgeable and patient, and would put our needs and dreams first. Our luck could not have been any better, as we found and engaged Michael within the first morning of an extended weekend trip designed to explore the city’s housing options.
We soon found that, along with a great personality and enthusiasm, Michael not only had a broad understanding of the local market and its offerings, but he also freely shared with us his opinions on important issues that could impact the areas surrounding any home that we might have chosen. We found Michael’s combination of clear, reliable information and his experienced, thoughtful judgment of what we could likely expect in the future to be critical in our ultimate decision making.
It’s been three years now since we purchased a wonderful loft in the heart of the city, and now we are beginning to look farther afield and explore the regions’ offerings of lake—front vacation homes. There is no one in Spokane that we would trust more with our next new home search and purchase than Michael Keller.

I really can’t say enough about Mike. He is an extraordinary Realtor. I’ve bought several houses in my life in a variety of markets and Mike is one of the best that I’ve ever worked with.
I contacted Mike prior to moving to Spokane. He wasn’t the first Realtor that I reached out to, but he was the first one that got back to me immediately and expressed a sincere desire to help me find the perfect house for me and my family. I was relocating from Dallas and knew virtually nothing about Spokane and even less about the real estate market here. Because of the circumstances of my move, I had only one day to look at houses.
Mike met me at 8:00AM and we looked at 17 properties that day. I was exhausted, but Mike seemed energized when he dropped me off at 7PM that evening, because he found me the perfect house. I put an offer in on that property the next day and we closed within 30 days. It was a whirlwind, but Mike was there every step of the way…day or night, it didn’t matter. If I had a question or a concern, Mike was there. He handled every facet of the sale with amazing professionalism and good humor. Throughout the process I felt as if he really, truly cared about me as a person, a client and a new neighbor in his beloved Spokane. The service and attention didn’t stop there. In the time since I bought my house, I’ve contacted Mike on four or five separate occasions with questions or for follow-up on matters that no one could have anticipated and to my continued amazement, Mike was there again exactly as he was before the sale. The same level of enthusiasm, the same depth of knowledge, and the same willingness to help so it’s no wonder he’s been voted the Best Realtor In Spokane. He has my vote.
