Tell Us Your Story

I definitely recommend Mario.

I’m relocating back to Michigan and he was able to show a house on very short notice while I was in town. Because of this, I was able to submit an offer right away and close within 30 days. This was the first and only house I looked at!! Thank you Mario.

Mario was my listing agent and guided me through the sale of my condo through one of the more difficult times in the market.

Mario put together an excellent and aggressive sales strategy, hosted one open house, and proceeded to get well over asking price in closing the deal. Beyond the obvious success of the sale, Mario was incredibly responsive and was willing to go the extra mile throughout the process. He’s a good man and an excellent agent. I’d recommend him to anyone, and will definitely hire him again when the time is right for my next move.

Mario was great to work with in getting my house.

in the current market it was very important to be quick with responses while putting offers in and Mario was very good at doing that. He also was very good at understanding my needs in a house. I am very picky when it comes to purchasing a house and he was very patient with me while we went through at least 30 houses before I decided which house I chose to purchase. Mario was very quick on responding when I had questions regarding any house and found out the answers to those questions in a timely fashion. He also worked with me on my schedule to view houses even if it was on weekends or late at night. I would recommend Mario in the future to anyone that I know that is looking for a house. Thank you Mario. If I ever do purchase a house in the future I will be contacting you.

Mario was very thorough throughout our homebuying process.

With Mario, we always knew which home features were newer and which would be needing replacement soon, which made it easier to find value in a crazy market. He was always available to accompany us to showings with our busy schedules, quick to communicate between us and the listing agent, and made the buying process much less daunting. If Mario helped us find a house, he can help you too!

As a first-time homebuyer, I did not know what to expect when I began house hunting in today’s cut-throat economy.

Enter Mario, a solutions-oriented realtor who’s out-of-the-box thinking and ability to look at both the fine details and the big picture helped craft my strong offer that was accepted over TWO cash bids. From start to finish, Mario was easily accessible and maintained a flexible schedule to allow for ample time to look at properties and place offers. While working with him, it was evident that he was giving me his undivided attention as he frequently touched base to keep me in the loop and make sure any questions I had were being answered. It is thanks to him that I’ve had such an enjoyable house hunting experience, and I could not be happier with my purchase. As a person, Mario demonstrates strong morals that are reflected from the moment you meet him. A true relationship-builder, he has an uncanny ability to establish instant rapport with clients and listing agents alike. His positive demeanor makes him a pleasure to work with, and his patience, generosity, and intelligence is much appreciated. He really is “the key to your new home”. Thanks, Mario!

Mario was so helpful during the process of finding our first home!

He was very quick and responsive whenever we asked to see a home, which was really important to us considering how quickly houses were going. After several offers, Mario let us know about a house that he thought we would love and it ended up being the perfect house for us! Mario is such a pleasure to work with. A great guy with a kind heart and I will always recommend him to anyone I know!

Mario was our 3rd realtor we ended up going through and our last one.

Mario’s professionalism, and key eye to details are what made this process such a breeze! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great smooth process and true honesty. Mario is also very responsive and makes sure you know every step of the way even before it happens. I can’t thank him enough for everything.

"Mario was amazing to work with! He was patient, understanding, answered any question we had and was very knowledgeable about the market, was quick to respond and make any necessary calls, and helpful in making competitive offers! We had such a wonderful time working with him, because he not only was professional, offered great advice, and found lots of great houses for us to see, but he also made this process fun and memorable! When the time comes again for us to find a new home, we know who we’ll be calling!! We are so thankful and cannot recommend Mario enough!"

"Mario has been absolutely fantastic to work with from day 1. He’s very personable, honest, timely, and transparent- as first time home buyers, Mario went above and beyond to give us recommendations for anything we needed and he took the time to answer our many many questions. The house we ended up getting was a perfect fit and one we didn’t even see ourselves. He really took the time to understand what we were looking for from the get-go and our new home was one that he found and sent to us via our group text. We ended up getting a beautiful, big Royal Oak house where we paid $30k less than it appraised at plus our offer was enticing enough that we even beat out a cash offer! This is unheard of considering what a seller’s market Royal Oak is. If you’re looking for an honest, hard working, reliable realtor who will get you a great house at an even better price, Mario’s your guy!"

"Mario was awesome to work with and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a house! Mario was referred to me by a family member he helped buy and sell a house and I am so glad we worked with him. He was communicative, helpful, and a joy to work with offering great advice at every step. He even helped me navigate another sale he wasn’t representing me for. I have worked with multiple realtors in the past and he has been the best by far- 10/10 you will not be disappointed!"

"Mario helped my boyfriend and I buy our first home together and it was an amazing experience. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and more than willing to answer all of my questions as many times as I needed to ask them. It was very hard at first to find a good realtor, but once Mario came along, he helped us understand the homebuying process much better and had plenty of other resources to help us get started with our new home. Mario has been nothing short of amazing and I would highly recommend him for anyone whether you are a new homebuyer or not thank you so much Mario for everything that you’ve done for us and all the help that you’ve provided !!!"

"Mario did an excellent job getting me my first house. He did an outstanding job explaining the process to a first time buyer and was patient when I asked questions. Everything was outlined including outlining the process, necessary steps, and financial options. He had excellent knowledge of the area and was thorough in explaining all the pro’s, con’s, and considerations at each house we looked at. Additionally he had very good recommendations for mortgage brokers, inspectors, and many resources you need when buying a home. He was able to beat multiple offers through negotiating with the seller which landed me a great first home that was quite popular. I can’t recommend him enough."

"I have known Mario for a few years and he was my #1 choice when I was ready to start looking to buy a house. From the beginning, Mario was very professional and took the time to walk me through the entire process of buying a home since I was a first time homebuyer. From there, he provided me with a number of listings based on the parameters I provided him and we began the search. Mario always responded timely when I had questions about houses and helped to coordinate visits to many different properties within the metro Detroit area. As we walked through various houses, Mario pointed out items to look out for and envisioned renovations that could be made to the space which was helpful since I have not had to think like that before. Mario was available week nights and weekends until I finally submitted an offer on a house like that. Mario was also an excellent negotiator and talked me through different scenarios based on circumstances we were faced with while trying to close a deal. I appreciated Mario’s attention to detail and would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to buy a house in Michigan! He exceed my expectations and made the entire home buying process manageable and less stressful. Thank you for helping me become a first time homebuyer Mario!"

It’s clear they have a deep understanding of the local market and genuinely care about their clients’ success.Throughout the entire process, Mario went above and beyond.
