Every Colorado Springs Realtor will tell you how great they are ...
But what do their clients say?

He calls it the park. Tess smiles more & invites her friends because she likes being home more. I enjoy everything about it! Oh, & Sharman is in heaven. Thanks again! May god keep smiling down upon you and your family.
~ Rosa, Tom, Tess, Jaiden & Sharman
“Let me start out by saying Mike & Missy have gone far above our expectations! The whole MacGuire Team was excellent. Every time we called everyone was very polite, knew who we were and were always able to help us. We ran across The MacGuire Team by starting at the Fort Carson website. Under “Housing” they recommended a huge list of REALTORS® at the Pikes Peak Association of REALTORS® Once there we typed in a city under “Find Your Realtor” and spent 3 days researching companies and individual realtors. What caught my eye?
- Being able to search for homes without giving my life history!
- Experience with Military families
- Knowledge of the area – 14 years made me feel comfortable and confidant.
- Most Important: I e-mailed Mike & Missy on a Sunday and within one hour Mike had called me. He really put me at ease with my situation. My husband was in training and we were looking at moving in a month. “Not a problem” Mike said. “We’ll work with you over the phone and via e-mail to find what you’re looking for. When you get here, we’ll know what type of house and the areas you’re looking at.”
It was great. By the time we moved I really felt like I knew the area and what to expect. Thank you Mike & Missy! For all the time and personalization you gave to us!”
~ Jeremy and Michelle Betters, United States Army
"Karen, Mike and Mike were very patient with us through the process of buying our home. They were very honest in their approach and helped us find a great home in a great neighborhood."
~ Chris and Alicia Humlicek
"After some very unpleasant experiences in house hunting, a family member recommended your group saying they had heard good things about you. From the first minute of talking to Mike Fortin until now, it has been the best home buying experience we have had. We felt like we were his main concern and there was nothing he wouldn’t do to make sure we found our home. We tell everyone about it and highly recommend your Team. Thank you!"
~ Susan and Dale Davis
"The MacGuire Team was invaluable in helping us with our Military relocation. Mike provided extremely detailed information about Colorado Springs neighborhoods. He gave us the proper amount of guidance in selecting our home. The Team was great to work with over the phone and in person. We love our new home and would strongly recommend The MacGuire Team to anyone moving to Colorado Springs."
~ LCDR & Mrs. Tom Stuhlreyer
"When we decided to relocate to Colorado Springs, our daughter recommended The MacGuire Team. Since we lived out of state and could only fly up every few months, they set up a website linked to the MLS that would pull listings based on a defined criteria. This made things easier when we were here to look at homes. They were also familiar with the property we were moving from and helped us to locate one that would make us feel right at home. After 6 months with the help of the team, we are happy in our new home. I would definitely recommend The MacGuire Team!
Thank you!"
~ Virginia and James Goodwin
"Hi Guys! This is a totally biased report because we love The MacGuire Team and the whole process was great. You staged our home so nicely and really listened to what we wanted to do, not to mention Mike was wonderful in guiding us through the inspection processes and helping us to make the needed changes to our contracts."
~ Thomas and Anne MacFarlane
" From the first time we met Mike MacGuire for our initial exploratory visit to Colorado Springs until the moment we took possession of our new home in Briargate, our experience with The MacGuire Team was tremendous. Mike was able to quickly assess the unique tastes of my wife and I and was able to guide us to a unique blend of both styles. Mike’s knowledge of this area, the builders, the materials used in the construction of the homes and just about anything and everything associated with “The Springs” is priceless. I would strongly recommend The MacGuire Team for any Real Estate services required in the Colorado Springs territory. If you are aware of Net Promoter Scorecards you can emphatically list us as a score of 5! A true promoter! "
~ Brett & Lisa Trott
"This is our second home with The MacGuire Team. They are consistently amazing us by their attentiveness to our needs, both as a Seller and a Buyer. Their knowledge of market conditions is superior to any team out there, but it is their compassion and genuine concern for their clients that puts them on a scale of their own! Thank you so much for everything you have done. There is no other team we would rather work with. You are not only our Realtors, but also our dear friends."
~ Ray and Liz Kaltenbach
“Mike helped us to make our home ready to sell and then sold it in a fast couple of days. Our home looks great and it was nice to present it to potential buyers in such great shape”.
~ Michael and Joe Ellen Richardson
“My family and I relocated to the Springs from Cleveland, OH; a potentially daunting task. Mike made it considerably less stressful by providing consistently superb service. The only way I can do justice in describing Mike’s service is to compare it with that of my selling agent in Cleveland. My selling agent’s level of service and professionalism was excellent. Mike’s service reached a much higher level; exceeding any expectations. Simply the best service I have ever experienced on any level of transaction."
~ Chris and Chris Lantzy
“We made the right choice for professional service with a personal touch with Mike and Missy. They and their staff have a standard of excellence that shows in their attention to detail. They worked diligently with us to achieve results. Our home sold quickly and we found our dream home through this rewarding experience. We will confidently refer our friends to this competent team."
~ Scott and Alma Morton
“We always felt that Mike had our best interest in mind. We never felt pressured to make a quick decision. Mike and Missy are very knowledgeable about the Colorado Springs market. Even though Mike has many clients, he made us feel that we were important and he really wanted us to be happy”.
~ Robert and Camille Giordano
“Mike and Missy were eager to learn of our wants for our new house, and wouldn’t let us settle for anything less”.
~ Jamie and Melissa Sandrovich
“When Mike and Missy say “Full Service”, they REALLY mean it. We were on a very short time-line and they were able to rearrange their schedules to accommodate us. Their first-class service enabled us to see every property that interested us, and their extensive knowledge of the Colorado Springs community allowed us to find the neighborhood that suited us best! In addition, they helped us contact the right people for financing, insurance and even showed us the local schools. Their service never stops – from welcome-to-the-neighborhood gifts and cards, to movie and popcorn! They have made us feel like family and we would recommend them to anyone with Real Estate needs!
~ Dan and Mary Kopacz
"We had a great time with Mike and Missy, both selling our home and buying a new one. So, we have composed the MacGuire ABC’s to sum up our experience with them."

"As a military family, we have bought and sold homes several times. We've worked with a number of realtors and we can tell top quality service. That's why, when it came to selling our house in Colorado Springs, we came to Mike. He is tops in every way.
Mike gave us exceptional service - from helping us appropriately price our home, to getting our house ready to show, to creating superior marketing tools. We relied on his experience in the Colorado Springs market and on his outstanding staff. We tapped into his many professional connections, which helped us get the house in top shape fast. He helped us work with the buyers to reach a speedy and satisfactory closing.
If you want the best service possible from a Colorado Springs Realtor, contact Mike MacGuire."
~ Michael & Bernadine Cannon
"Mike is the best agent I've ever worked with (that's 28 years in the USAF and 15 moves). He is knowledgeable, professional, and personable… always on time and with great advice. We had very particular requirements and wanted just the right house in the right neighborhood. The search took time, effort & patience… Mike made it happen. If you are new to the area and need sound real estate advice, I highly recommend Mike and his team. They are great to work with. If I buy again in the Springs area, I'll be back with Mike, because his priority is with the quality of his work versus quantity."
~ Col Tom Larkin, United States Air Force
"We are a military family, and this was move number 13 for us in 26 years. It was lucky number 13 because we had Mike as our agent. Fast, responsive, honest, tremendous listener who represented us with absolute perfection! His office staff was just as professional. There were no surprises. Of our 13 moves, this was unquestionably the most efficient and smooth thanks to Mike."
~ Bill & Laureen Gray
"Mike, you have been on my mind as we continue to put the finishing touches on our new home. We have only been living in it a few weeks, but are so contented here it feels like we have been here for months and months.
We are truly still amazed that we even have a home, let alone one we can really afford. Finally we are in an older, quiet neighborhood, with lots of trees, something I have wanted since 1991.
Things could not be better for us, Mike. This year has turned out to be one over flowing with blessings and it started with YOU."
~ Frank & Linda Gimbel
"Mike came highly recommended to my husband by one of his previous clients. I contacted Mike immediately and was very impressed by his professionalism. The service and attention to detail that Mike gave me and my husband throughout the process of buying our house, and after the sale was incredible. He willingly listened to my needs and concerns and addressed each of them. I feel that Mike truly cared about us and wanted to help me find the perfect house, and he did. His service did not stop at closing. Mike continues to help us if we need it and answers any questions we throw his way. To anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house, I can honestly say you can't go wrong with Mike."
~ Tom & Denise James
"I worked with 2 other Realtors before luckily being referred to Mike MacGuire. My home buying experience with Mike far exceeded my expectations. Mike is not only a real estate professional, but better still, he provides his clients 360 degrees of service from start to finish. I love my new home and have Mike to thank for it!"
~ Luci Cruz-Laporte
"We had only 72 hours to find a house because we were moving from out of state. We had been in contact with Mike via the Internet so he and his team already had a good idea of what we were looking for. The first day Mike toured us around several neighborhoods so we could identify what we liked. The reason for this, Mike explained, was because he wanted us not only to find the perfect house but also to be happy with the neighborhood. On our last day in CO, we went to see a house that Mike recommended and it was the one!
Due to his hard work, we have the perfect house on the perfect street. It doesn't matter which window we look out or which door we go out, there is not a thing we would change. Even after we moved, Mike was there for us. The seller didn't complete all the agreed upon work. Mike was in motion and we received a check from the seller that covered it all. To summarize, Mike MacGuire is a ROCK STAR!"
~ Mike Pettis and Elizabeth Hammond-Pettis
"Working with Mike MacGuire far exceeded our highest expectations. We have bought and sold properties in the past and never worked with a more knowledgeable and professional Realtor. Mike worked diligently to find just the right buyer for our home as well as understood our specific needs with the search and purchase of our new home.
From Mike's initial meeting with us to our closings, we were treated as if we were his most important clients. Mike and his team were always available to us, and they went above and beyond to make our transactions run smoothly. We would not hesitate to recommend Mike MacGuire to our family and friends!"
~ Marty & Kim Jones
"Mike, thanks so much for helping Vicky and me find our perfect house! We appreciate all your efforts to make our transition and long distance closing a smooth process. As a military member, I especially want to thank you for the Military First Program. I am a very satisfied client!"
~ Major Bruno Mediate, USAF
"We found Mike on the Internet, while living in Washington DC. His experience and testimonials made us very interested. Some friends had recommended other Realtors in Colorado Springs. After we interviewed all of them on the phone, we selected Mike, and we are so happy we did. He is a true professional, and we whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Colorado Springs.
Mike's detailed information about the area, including schools, houses and neighborhoods helped us tremendously. He e-mailed us stacks of listings, which saved us a lot of time, and as a result we had a very good feel for the market before we arrived in Colorado. After we arrived in Colorado, Mike got a better idea what we were looking for. He did a great job listening to what we wanted without being pushy, and he quickly steered us in the right direction. The first day we looked at houses, Mike showed us the house we wanted. A few days later, we made an offer, but that's not when Mike stopped working for us. He took care of so much prior to closing, and because we were back in Maryland, that was a tremendous help. We love our house and are very happy we worked with Mike."
~ Robert B. Brown, Lt Col, USAF
"Mike is not only an outstanding real estate agent, but he is an outstanding person. Mike cares about his clients. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with his knowledge of real estate. It was clear that he wanted what was best for our family and wanted to guide us to a good investment. We love our new home and truly have Mike to thank. If at anytime down the road we choose to sell or buy a new home, we will absolutely work with Mike MacGuire. We wouldn't hesitate to suggest to friend or family that they choose Mike as their real estate agent."
~ Julie and Mark Vande Hei
" We want to say thank you for all you did to help us find our dream home. As first time homebuyers, we were nervous and unfamiliar with the process of purchasing a home. From the house hunting to the closing, Mike made the process comfortable, stress free and fun. He was attentive to our needs and patiently guided us through every step of the process. Mike helped us find a home that not only fit our needs, but also exceeds our greatest expectations. Mike was a consummate professional and we truly enjoyed working him!"
~ Drew & Annette Morton
"I consider myself to be well versed in buying homes as I have moved many times with the Air Force. I also own investment properties. The detailed research Mike performed on the properties that we have purchased through him far surpassed that of any other Realtor we used in the past. He truly stresses the importance of resale. As a military buyer, this is so important. I never doubt that Mike has our best interests as his top priority."
~ Major Dwight Andersen, USAF
"We have bought two homes and sold one through Mike MacGuire in two and a half years. From his responsiveness, attention to detail, low-key approach, and sense of humor, Mike MacGuire has made these experiences a real pleasure. He is a first class Real Estate professional who you can trust in advising you on one of your most significant investments."
~ Robert Lyle, LTC U.S. Army and Judy Lyle
"Mike's attention to the utmost detail prior to and during the transaction was in no small part responsible for arranging the sale of our residence at the price we established and were able to hold to closing, $400,000."
~ Stan Tremaine, Member USAF Senior Executive Service
"Both Dee and I were apprehensive about the home-buying process. We began the process of home selection quite anonymously over the Internet. Mike understood our timidity and worked in such a manner that we were able to do so much of our research in our own time with absolutely zero pressure."
~ David Krecklow, CMSgt., U.S. Air Force
"We've bought and sold numerous homes – Mike MacGuire is far and away the best professional we have ever worked with."
~ Major Paul Conner & Captain Cynthia Waratuke, USAF
"USAA recommended two agents and a co-worker referred Mike to me. I interviewed them all. Mike stood out because he was so thorough. As I had to PCS before my family, Mike coordinated all aspects of the transaction for my wife. I had piece of mind that everything was coming together in my absence."
~ Gary Oldham, CMSgt, U.S. Air Force
" Mike really listened to us outline what we were looking for. He used his detailed knowledge of the entire Colorado Springs area, helped us focus our search. We found just the right home for our family. But, Mike's efforts did not stop there. He helped us finish the sale while we were out of state and took care of us as we moved in. He went above and beyond – taking care of the many details and assisting us in making the transition to this area. I can highly recommend him as the finest Realtor I have ever worked with."
~ Lt. Col. Michael Cannon
"Over the years, we have been involved in several real estate sales, both buying and selling. This was by far the best handled of all. When our son in Minnesota looked at the presentation of our home on Mike's website, his comment was "Wow, I want this guy to handle my next real estate transaction."
~ Phil & Elsie Pearsall
"I was referred to Mike by my brother. Within a week of contacting him, I was looking at town homes. I appreciated the quick and smooth transaction and most of all, the expertise of someone I felt very comfortable with. Thank you Mike, you're the best! Aloha!"
~ Lauren Asato
"Mike always worked in our best interest. He actually discouraged us from pursuing certain homes that he felt were overpriced or bad investments. As a first time homebuyer, this was very reassuring! I have friends relocating to Colorado Springs and I will definitely refer them to Mike!"
~ Nate & Tabitha Thrasher
"We interviewed three Realtors. Mike was the only one who clearly put an emphasis on the presentation of our home. He not only told us what we needed to do, he hired a professional designer to help us stage our home, a housecleaner and a handyman. We received two offers the first week our home was listed. He negotiated the best offer for us. He made a high hassle experience into a low stress, enjoyable experience."
~ John & Julie Wakeman
"USAA recommended two agents and a co-worker referred Mike to me. I interviewed them all. Mike stood out because he was so thorough. As I had to PCS before my family, Mike coordinated all aspects of the transaction for my wife. I had piece of mind that everything was coming together in my absence."
~ Gary Oldham, MASTER SERGEANT U.S. Air Force
"Your weekly update to me regarding the status of the sale was a large factor in my lack of concern and relaxed approach to the sale."
~ Stan Tremaine
"When we were referred to Mike MacGuire, our dreams came true. He spent many hours looking for just the right home for us and advised us well. He was up front, personable, and a great agent to work with. I will use Mike every time we buy or sell real estate."
~ Glenn Albert
"Mike was very accommodating and patient, fitting his schedule around ours. We will always remember Mike cutting a long weekend short, hustling back from the mountains to write a contract on the perfect home."
~ David Krecklow
"Mike's handling of selling our home was beyond our expectations throughout the entire process. From his preparation prior to listing our home, his advise and assistance with de-cluttering and preparing our home for sale, timely and responsive communication, negotiating the offer to minimize our exposure, accommodating our schedule so we could sign early for the closing, to following up through the entire transaction."
~ Phil & Elsie Pearsall
"I've used Mike as my agent for my last two home purchases. I've found him to be responsive to my requirements, aggressive in searching for listings and honest with his assessment of the home. I will definitely continue to use Mike as my agent and would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends."
~ Joseph Chaves
"Mike remained objective, pointing out the good, bad & ugly about homes, neighborhoods, builders and so forth. Through his eyes, we were able to begin to visualize what would be best for us."
~ David Krecklow
"We would like to say that Mike MacGuire is one fine agent. We found him to be willing to listen to us. He has all the know-how to do an excellent job. He was responsive to our requests for information. He advised us not to purchase a home that had underlying issues that Mike discovered. He gave us excellent advice about how best to prepare our home for the market. In working with Mike through three transactions, we have been more than satisfied. He's more than an agent; he's more like family."
~ John & Mary Simmons
"If you want the best results, you have to work with the best professional –there is no one better than Mike MacGuire."
~ Captain Paul Conner & Captain Cindee Waratuke, USAF
"Mike and his team were there for us through the closing and after, showing that he was indeed interest in us, not the sale. The follow-through contacts and the personal touches really helped us feel good about our decision to work with Mike."
~ David Krecklow
