" Michael Schaffer is the best. I was scrolling through social media and saw his ad. I had been thinking of selling my home but had to convince my sister. I contacted Michael and told him the situation. He waited patiently, checking in periodically. Finally my sister was in on the idea of selling. My sister researched Michael and liked his resume. When we finally met we had an instant connection. He laid out all of our options. Our house sold in 7 days. Michael made it effortless. He also helped me purchase a home. Michael brings over 20 years of experience. He is professional and very knowledgeable. It has been a pleasurable experience. I highly recommend Michael Schaffer and his team for all your real estate needs."

"I couldn't be more pleased with the service and professionalism Michael and his team offered in selling my house in LA. From helping me clearing the title and foreseeing and tackling any possible hold-ups to connecting me to great companies for the renovation and staging. I was out of the country most of the time during the renovation and the listing period and could completely trust and rely on his hands-on approach and positive mindset. I can only recommend Michael and his team. Thanks so much for the hard work."

" Michael and Kelli made selling my condo effortless. They were there to answer questions, give advice and of course I had an offer faster than expected. During our initial meeting I set a target date that I thought was possibly unrealistic. When I was told we had an offer and escrow closed in a short time, I couldn't believe it! If you want a professional team contact Michael and Kelli, they will make your dreams come true!"

"I spent several days looking at properties with Michael until he knew exactly what I was looking for. Then, when he found it, he called me and said, “I’ve got it.” And he was spot on. My closing got delayed several times due to financing issues, but he navigated me through everything including the purchase, the inspection and the financing. I will absolutely use him again! "

"Just recently relocated from SF Bay area to LA area. Began working with Michael about 9 months before we were really ready to buy. He was extremely patient in taking us around to show us what different areas of LA and surrounding towns were like. Took us to many open houses and learned what we were looking for in a house & neighborhood. Before moving, we emailed him constantly about different houses we found online and asked if he had been to them. If he had, he shared his impressions. If he hadn't and the house was still being shown, he went to the open house and sent us a video tour, with commentary, about what he saw -- the positive and negative points. And this was before we were ready to buy a home.

Once we sold our existing home and moved to a temporary residence in the LA area, we began a serious search for a home. Michael was extraordinarily helpful in guiding us to homes that were the style we liked and were within our price range. When we identified a house that we wanted to bid on, he helped us determine a reasonable bid, one which he thought the seller would find attractive, was consistent with what the house was worth, and was within our price range.

Throughout this entire process, he was extraordinarily patient, listened to our needs, and didn't put any pressure on us to buy a home before we found "the right one." In fact, on several occasions he cautioned us about bidding on a home that we liked, either because he felt it was overpriced or had problems with it -- usually involving more repairs/renovation work that we wanted to take on.

By the time the process was over, and we had purchased a home, we felt that we had found a new friend, not just a friendly and extremely competent realtor. We highly recommend him."
