"We were blown away!"
Earlier this spring, we were getting ready to sell our home so we could move closer to our children and grandkids. I saw an ad for Homelight.com one morning and decided to check it out. I provided my name, email address and phone number. Shortly after, I received several telephone calls from a number of local realtors. Although all were obviously polished professionals, Michael Belisle of the MJB Real Estate Group really intrigued me, so I invited him to meet with my wife and me to discuss selling our home. We welcomed Michael into our home and then listened as he detailed his sales process. We were BLOWN AWAY by what he showed us. We could not have been more impressed with Michael or his sales process. After a thorough discussion of the real estate agreement and a walk-thru of our home and yard, during which Michael provided excellent suggestions for staging both, we hired Michael and began to prepare for the sale. Michael brought in professionals who took photos and videos that became key selling tools. To make a long story short, Michael sold our home the second day it was on the market. We received offers over the asking price. Since we had already found a house in the area where we wanted to relocate to, we accepted the best offer. Michael provided excellent counsel and support as we moved through the challenging closing process that followed. His knowledge of the closing process was impressive and his negotiation skills were invaluable. He really knew the market, and how to prepare, stage and present our home to get the best result. Our home sold for much more that a comparable home close by. We closed shortly thereafter and were successful in buying the house we wanted move to. We could not have been more pleased with Michael Belisle and MJB Real Estate Group. As realtors go, there are certainly "good, better and best", but Michael is in a class by himself. On a 10-point scale we would rate Michael as a 100. He is, in a word: SUPERB. Thanks Michael, we couldn't have done it this well without you.
"Mike is a guy you can trust"
Can't thank Mike enough for his hard work and timely attention to closing a deal on my first home. He really knows his stuff, from the local area to working with the right lenders for the best rate. He also has a great intuition for negotiating a deal in a tough seller’s market. As a first time home buyer, I definitely asked every question you could possibly imagine during the process, but Mike graciously offered his time and advice every time something came up to help make things clear for me. Good experience makes all the difference and Mike is a guy you can trust for that.
"Would definitely recommend!"
Jason is extremely professional, and had vast knowledge of entire county and near-by areas. He is one of the nicest people we have ever been in business with and up front honesty on everything! We are beyond happy with his services and the company he works with. A big 10 stars!!
"We highly recommend his services"
We cold-called Mike 2 days after arriving in the area about a house we viewed on the internet that day (a Friday) and we needed representation. He returned our call immediately and met with us at the house that same day, before the open house. He linked us up with an outstanding mortgage lender and we had a signed and accepted offer by Sunday. We were outbid but Michael negotiated better terms and brought the sale home! Mike is the BOSS and we highly recommend his services.
"He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the home buying process"
I can't say enough good things about Michael. We were looking to buy in Bellingham from out of state and he went above and beyond to make sure we got our dream house. He did video walk-throughs, responded to our emails quickly no matter what time day or night. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the home buying process. In the end he helped us get our house in a perfect location for a price we are very happy with.
"Mike knows so much"
Mike helped me buy my first home! After looking at several places we found the right one. Mike knows so much about home improvement and property I felt like I couldn't go wrong! Mike always picks up the phone, answers texts, and is very informative. Great at explaining things, and moves the ball forward. Now we are all moved in and it is great!
"One of the most professional and genuinely caring experiences we have had with a major life transaction."
From start to finish, one of the most professional and genuinely caring experiences we have had with a major life transaction. Real estate transactions, the selling of our homes, a process that no matter how much we work to focus on the numbers, at some point becomes emotional, psychological, and in those moments, an agency's experience really shows. MLB Real Estate Group and Mike Belisle were right there, in just the right way at every step in the process.
"He made the process of buying a house so much easier than any other realtor we have ever had"
Mike went above and beyond for us. We had a water quality issue and he went to bat for us and knocked it out of the park. He solved the issue and let us know after it was all settled. We didn't have to worry about it at all. He truly treated our house as if it were his. He made the process of buying a house so much easier than any other realtor we have ever had. All that and he handled it long distance. We were kept informed of everything as it happened. We could not have been more pleased and will recommend him to several of our good friends moving to the Bellingham area. He is professional, honest, and kind beyond measure. And a great sense of humor, as well.
"They worked just as hard for us as if it were a million dollar transaction"
Michael and his team worked diligently to find the right buyer for a challenging property we listed with him. Their hard work of multiple showings, excellent photography, responsive and clear communication, and unwavering resolve led to the crafting of a final deal of which we are well pleased. Ours wasn’t a big sale for them, but they worked just as hard for us as if it were a million dollar transaction. We are very pleased to have worked with Michael and will do so again when the time comes.
"If you're a native from Washington or just moving into this beautiful state, I would look no further than Mike Belisle and his very experienced and professional team!"
Mike and his team were amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better Real Estate professional to help us purchase a home! From the beginning, Mike's undeniable knowledge about the market in Washington (specifically Bellingham) gave us hope as we became discouraged because of previous mistakes made by other agents. We had put in an offer through another agent but lost it due to their lack of knowledge and understanding of how to get an offer accepted especially in this market. That experience left us wondering if we'd ever find a home. After finding another home through Zillow I was contacted by Mike. I told him of our previous experience and he advised us of the best approach to get our offer in front of the Seller and accepted. We took his advice and did exactly what he suggested and our offer was received favorably! Buying or selling a home is very stressful and we've been through both processes multiple times over the span of 30 years. But we can honestly say that Mike removed most of that stress because he knew what he was doing and he took all of our needs into consideration which led to us not wasting our time on properties that we knew were not going to suit our family. Mike made this process simple and was such a delight to work with. Even after we closed escrow, I contacted Mike to ask him about painters and landscapers and he has been very helpful with his recommendations since we were out of state and didn't know where to begin and who to call. If you're a native from Washington or just moving into this beautiful state, I would look no further than Mike Belisle and his very experienced and professional team! YOU ARE THE BEST!
"Absolutely the best realtor"
Jeff has been a pleasure to work with as we searched for a new home across the country. His in-depth knowledge of the area and his recommendations led us to the perfect home. Jeff's professional habits and attention to detail were a joy. He visited properties on our behalf and supplied photos and videos to give us a better feel for homes we were interested in. Jeff made wonderful recommendations about areas to consider. We eventually selected a home in an area recommended by Jeff which we were unaware existed. We can honestly say that Jeff Engen is the best Realtor we have worked with to buy or sell a home. He is now not just our Realtor, he is our Friend.
"All of that care and attention resulted in a rapid sale"
I think the highest compliment you can pay to any professional in any field is that they care, and that caring translates into going the extra mile for their clients. From start to finish in the whole process of selling the house Mike took care of all the details to get the house ready to sell, to address buyer concerns after the inspection, to get all of the paperwork completed etc etc. All of that care and attention resulted in a rapid sale (the buyer made an offer the first weekend the house was listed), and then a quick completion of all of the steps required to get to closing. So I would strongly recommend Mike to anyone wanting to list their house through someone they can trust to win everyone's confidence throughout the process.
"Mike was very professional, knowledgeable and personable"
Mike did a great job helping our family with the selling and buying process. He came over to our house and provided some realistic recommendations to make it more appealing to buyers. His team also took amazing photos and it looked perfect online. Once the house was listed, we accepted an offer within two days! While our house was pending, Mike also helped us through the buying process - from inspections to closing, everything went smoothly. From start to finish, the whole process only took a month and a half from first contact to closing on our old and new homes. Mike was very professional, knowledgeable and personable and was a real pleasure to work with. We will use him again if we need a realtor in the future.
