Michael was very helpful in general and helped to put me at ease with the stressful process of buying a home. They were also very professional, patient, and understanding while guiding me through this process. Michael also factored in my unique religious needs as well. When I thought that the deal in process was in jeopardy, their level of experience kept the deal together. Michael is a realtor who can be trusted, and I refer my friends and family to them. In short, Michael is the best at what they do.
Michael's professional approach to solving problems and their ability to hire contractors.
Michael and his team are fantastic! Michael understood our wants and needs. He has many clients while still making it feel like we are his top priority. If you are looking for someone who cares about you and getting you into a home you love, there is no one better than Michael!
It is always a pleasure working with Michael. Michael is always professional, kind, patient, understanding and very good to their clients.
Michael had a solution for everything. This was very helpful since I do not live in the area.
I have recommended Michael to a friend and would do it another time. He is all you would want in a realtor. Michael was enthusiastic, supportive and always professional.
I valued the effort to ensure I was able to view houses within my price range and the encouragement to think out of the box about properties that had a lot of potential. The support during the final walk-through was really appreciated as there were a few items remaining on the property at that time, and communication with the seller's agent resolved all the questions during the walk-through. Overall, this house purchase was much improved compared to my first house purchase, and I would highly recommend Michael to anyone I know who is looking to purchase a home in the capital district.
Michael was always professional and treated me as their most important concern. I will always come back.
Michael is not only a real estate agent, they have become a great friend in Albany. Thank you to Michael.
Courtesy was always present.
Mike was extremely attentive from the time we first met until the end of the closing date. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure he is doing all he can to make the sale without being overbearing on us as the sellers or the buyers. Mike is the person to make it happen, and I would ask anybody to meet with him, discuss your personal agenda and needs, and I’m sure Mike will line up with your goals.
Michael is knowledgeable but never aloof. Michael is friendly and approachable, but no pushover. But if I had to pick one trait to zero in on, I know that Michael is an ethical person with integrity and values everyone they interact with.
Back in 2012, we downsized from our larger home after living there for 25 years and had help and encouragement from Michael. Then we wanted a smaller place, and, one day, he called saying there was a unit for sale that we might be interested in, which we bought. 10 years later, with Michael's guidance, we sold our townhouse, and he was there to help with small details, making moving easier.
Michael worked with my husband and me on two home sales. He was super helpful in staging our homes and identifying needed repairs for showings. Seeing the reviews and comments from those who saw our home was a testimony to this. You will not be disappointed in working with Michael.
Michael worked with my wife and me to find our first home to start building our family. He helped guide us during every step of buying our first home.
We could not have asked for a better realtor. Michael was very responsive, effective, and knowledgeable in helping us buy our home. Perfect 10!
Michael Keefrider and his team helped us navigate our out-of- state move, going so far as to communicate with our realtor to ensure a smooth transition to our new home. Our experience working with him was very professional, including always being available to talk or get back to us in a timely manner, taking the time to get to know us and our needs, explaining the process in terms we can understand and providing relevant information for decision-making. Michael is a credit to his profession. We put our trust in him and you should too!
Other members of our family bought properties through Michael Keefrider and we were always impressed with his service. It was logical that when we wanted to buy in the Albany area we contacted him. He explains the process, communicates promptly and effectively and is always looking out for his clients best interests. Our purchase of a condominium was without issues largely because of his professional attention to detail. Should we decide to buy or sell in the future we would certainly contact him.
Michael was always available when we needed him. Being a first time home buyer can be stressful and confusing. He made the process as easy as possible and was very patient. He is extremely knowledgeable and will negotiate anything to make sure his clients are happy.
The absolute best. Bought 2 houses and sold my 1st with Michael, would not use anyone else. If you’re in the market for a realtor, your search stops with him.
Micheal did an excellent job helping us find our home. Our previous home sold fast and we challenged Michael to find a new one on short order. He succeeded!
Worth every penny. If you want to buy or sell a house without worry, Michael is the real estate agent for you.
My wife and I were in the Albany area on military orders. When we were re-assigned to a new location we needed to have our house sold on a tight schedule. We did the research and interviewed several of the regions best rated agents. During the interview process, Michael Keefrider impressed us with his pre-meeting research, experience and knowledge.
He was described by another, highly recommended agent who we also interviewed for the job of selling our home, as the “big dog” in the area because of Michael’s well established reputation to get the job done.
He was fair, honest, and has the heart of a teacher. He explained each step of the process and had extensive contacts in the community to help us prep our house for sale. Any time during the process a concern or problem arose, Michael new exactly what to do.
It took only two weeks to get our first offer, and with Michael’s help we quickly negotiated to an agreeable price. When that deal fell apart due to the buyer’s inability to finance Michael got us a second, better offer within a few days!
Without Michael the process would have been VERY stressful, but his integrity, hard work and dedication to the task made it all seem easy. We were very satisfied with the end result (specifically sale price and timing). There is a reason Michael Keefrider is known as the best in the business, he is a must hire if you want to buy or sell your home in the New York Capital Region.
Michael Keefrider was an exceptional agent for our home selling process! He was prompt, knowledgeable, courteous, understanding, and responsible. Whenever there was a question or concern, he took the time to not only answer/solve it, but to also made sure we understood the entire process. My advice would be to choose Michael—you won’t be disappointed!
michael sold my house quickly and with professionalism. his assistance and guidance were invaluable. We were kept up to date all through the process.
Whenever I called my calls were returned promptly.
Michael was incredible. I used him to sell two properties and the properties were sold really fast for top dollar. He delivered all of the documents to my house personally and helped with all kinds of resources. He is by far, the best real estate agent I've ever used or even heard about.
Michael was an amazing realtor for both selling and buying. We sold our home with confidence knowing that we got a fair price for it and all of the procedures and policies were laid our carefully. Michael pays great attention to details and takes the time and patience to explain all aspects of the process. When it came to buying, Michael was wonderful with listening to what we wanted and finding properties to send us. He was flexible with scheduling appointments and after being settled into our home we are so happy and satisfied that we went with Michael!
We met Michael through Zillow; he asked us to meet with him to see if we could work well together. That initial meeting gave us the initial confidence as first time home buyers that we could indeed work well together. Michael patiently took the time to show us and send us several home suggestions, and identified some we had not seen ourselves. Of many admirable qualities, including indepth knowledge of market, price trends, and quality relationships with inspectors and other providers, Michael's responsiveness and follow-through were one of the best elements of working with him. We highly recommend Michael Keefrider.
Michael was indispensable to me as seller of a home for a friend I served as guardian. His local network of renovation professionals and the ethical standards he upheld mitigated the stress inherent in preparing the house for sale. More a job coach and mentor to me in his areas of expertise, he facilitated what looked like an impossible undertaking, as I lived in the Southern Tier and have little experience selling a home. From the first meeting, he earned my trust, which never wavered. He consistently followed up, communicated effectively and found me the right people to work with, leading to the sale of the home to a first home buyer. We had a plan, always responsive to changing conditions, and it got results. His commitment continued beyond the sale and above duty, extending to gestures of sincere concern and deep empathy, rare in any business dealing and unique in my experience.
Mike was our realtor for the sale of our house that we had lived in for 36 years. For us, especially my wife it was a very difficult and emotional experience, but Mike made us confident that he would handle every detail and for us not to worry. We hired him in early August 2019 and eventually closed the second week of February 2020. There many very difficult extenuating circumstances that he handled with the utmost of care right to the very end. I am sure it was one of the most difficult sales he has ever had, but the fact that he was constantly in touch with us , always reassuring us that everything would be fine. Not only was he a great realtor, but his recommendations for an estate sale person, closing attorney, and catholic charities representative were top notch and turned out to be extremely valuable. Without a doubt, we would recommend Mike to any future client and rest assured, you will be represented with the utmost care and professionalism!
Mike went beyond what I expected. He called me multiple times to make sure I had what I needed. I asked him questions really outside of the scope of a realtor (legal issues) and he helped significantly there also. He didn't claim to know everything, but was certainly willing to tell me all he knew (which was a lot). He caught some potential trouble that I had in my title report and gave me a heads up to talk with the title company. He responded very quickly whenever I left an email or phone message for him. My real estate transaction was a very low price, but he seemed to treat it as if it were a high price. I would very much recommend Mike, and I would be glad to talk to anyone in person who is considering Mike.
My family hired Michael to sell my Mom's home after she passed away. He made a difficult time much easier because he was not only knowledgable, but professional, caring and we felt he had our best interests at heart. Of course, Mom's home needed to be fixed up and Michael was very helpful in advising us on what improvements we should focus on and what not. He was also able to direct us to competent contractors who could do the work quickly. We listed the house in three weeks at a price we thought might be a little high. We had an offer within a couple of hours and closed four weeks later. We were very pleased with Michael's services and highly recommend him.
Michael quickly responded upon our initial contact. He was attentive, visiting us at the property, and in returning phone calls. He made a few recommendations regarding the property to enhance its presentation.
We had an appropriate contract 9 days after the listing was published.
It was apleasure working with him, and I would recommend him without reservation.
I cannot possibly say how valuable Michael was to me during the process of selling a very outdated (partially vandalized) rental home my husband owned in Upstate NY after he passed. The renovations had started but trying to deal with selling a property in NY when I live in FL was a daunting task. Michael kept me informed 100% all along the way. He somehow even managed to pull off a small bidding war on that very property that needed a LOT more love! He made a daunting task easy! I cannot thank him enough. You have a trustworthy, honest, and even CARING realtor when you choose him!
Very professional, knowledgeable, and when hearing him negotiate with other agents, it’s clear that he’s of a higher caliber than an average agent. He helped me purchase my first home back in 2014 and to this day, I still ask him for recommendations for contractors, lawyers, etc. The man is connected and takes his job seriously.
It was a great day for the Streiff family when we first met Michael Keefrider. We had a Covid-induced situation with tenants not paying rent and property taxes due and were not sure how to go about selling under these circumstances. Fortunately, Michael took charge and we soon had the house up for sale. Michael always kept us informed, maintained a positive attitude, and kept us looking forward. His communication is excellent. As we live in another state, it was very important to have an agent we can trust to handle all the issues that came up, and as our house is 170 years old, there were many issues. Michael helped find good contractors and ultimately negotiated a full-price sale of our challenging property. He is a class act, the best in the business, and we could not be happier with his service. We recommend him without reservation.
Mike has worked with us selling 2 rental properties. He has been very supportive and knowledgeable throughout the process. Our foist property he listed on a Friday and had it sold by Saturday at above asking , and at a price we were very happy about. The second property had a problem tenant that he has been helpfully interacting with in an attempt to make the sales process as smooth as possible despite the significant road blocks this tenant has thrown up, but we are closing next week. Fingers crossed>. I would highly recommend Mike and his team !
Michael was very professional and knowledgeable about the market. He guided us to a price that sold our home quickly. The process was easy. We would recommend Michael to our friends and family.
Michael worked with us to sell our Schoharie home. His negotiation skills resulted in an offer above asking price within 24 hours! He also helped us post-sale with an inspection glitch. Would recommend Michael to anyone selling a home.
Michael is the person you want in your corner. He has helped me buy 3 houses and sell 2 all with ease and at the best possible price! He is a expert in this market so his advice is spot on and his negotiation skills are impressive. He has great contacts that helped us whip our houses into shape quickly to get it ready for sale. On top of that he is a really great human who doesn't mind helping you on all the little stuff too. If your looking for an expert in the business who is also going to care Michael is your guy.
Mr. Keefrider was exceptionally professional when assisting my Fiancé and I with finding our first house. His vast knowledge and experience showed through when it came to finding possible issues with our home as well as negotiating our final price. I would highly recommend Mr. Keefrider to anyone who is looking for a home today.
Michael was always a bit optimistic and gave encouraging words whenever I was down and out frustrated tired. Always made me feel better and made me feel like it would work out which it did With his encouragement and support
Michael was our realtor for both our home buying and home selling process. He is highly knowledgeable and pays attention to all the details to make sure that everything is clear, precise, and organized. He was consistently responsive to our questions through calls, texts, and emails. He is a true professional and we highly recommend him for both buying and selling your home--You will be glad you called him!
It was great to feel like I had a whole team behind me the entire time. Everything seemed easy and there was no question I couldn't get a reliable answer to. Both ms. Bishop and Mr. Keefrider were there at any time and made time for me (as I work a crazy schedule). I would recommend them to anyone who asks for a suggestion.
I was completely impressed with Michael Keefrider's professionalism and customer service. The ambiance here, in our new home, is always inviting and comfortable. This is my go-to place for life and rest - the best in town. The neighbors are not only friendly but also very kind. We are very happy to have this house. We are all wishing Michael you more success and prosperity in their professional work and life. Best of luck, Michael!
