Jim & Kathy Orr

It’s easy to say someone did a great job but in your business, we think it’s important to explain why. We have sold houses in six states so we have a little experience with realtors, markets and practices. In fact, we sold two houses ourselves several years ago. Mike MacGuire is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with. You, Missy, and the team are exceptional. Why? Not only were you honest, forthright, and very knowledgeable, but you stepped forward and did the work.

Here is how you differentiate yourselves from others in the business.
1. After you completed your initial inspection of our home you suggested meeting at your offices a few days later to discuss your thoughts and findings. We were skeptical and prepared for a high-pressure sales pitch on your turf. It never happened. Instead, you and Missy presented a wealth of information and options for us to consider before we put the house up for sale. We were never pressured, asked to make a decision or sign a contract at the time.

2. Strategy - You worked with us to develop a selling strategy (price, presentation, dealing with multiple offers, etc.). Your method for comping our house resulted in it being listed at 75K-95K more than what we expected at the time.

3. Professional Photography - Platinum absorbed the cost of using a professional photographer to include drone footage. Though we had verbally agreed to work with Platinum, all photography was completed before we ever signed a contract.

4. Contract - Platinum protected us as sellers to the extent possible by ensuring we would only be responsible for major mechanical, structural and safety issues found in an inspection. No need to worry about all the little stuff.

5. Staging & Cleaning - Though our home did not require it, Platinum absorbs the cost of staging and cleaning of the house prior to showings.

6. Storage & Moving - Though we did not use the service, Platinum offers minor storage and moving assistance at no additional cost.

7. Communication - Exceptional! You and Missy are proactive and whenever we called you either answered immediately or returned our calls/text messages in very short order. This is even more impressive when one considers the large operation you run.

8. Sale - We received a solid offer on the house within 24 hours of the first showing. Rather than immediately accept it, you suggested that the prospective buyer look at the house again to make sure they were fully committed. Some people may argue there is risk involved in this approach. From your perspective, we had several more showings and an open house scheduled and you did not want to interrupt that pipeline if the buyer was not serious. It worked, the buyer committed, and the additional showings were cancelled.

9. Appraisal - The sale price of the house established new heights for the area and justifiably so. However, you made it a point to meet the appraiser, so they understood how you comped the house. Very similar to what you did for us in the beginning. Your efforts were a benefit to both us and the buyer.

10. Inspection - Two minor issues were raised during the inspection. One was actually disclosed and fixed prior to the inspection. You had us take video of the fix and it was easily resolved. The other issue required an inspection by the city and a minor modification by a plumber. The time
between the sale and closing was tight and would have been difficult for us as homeowners to find people to apply the fix and get the city to inspect it. Your network and extended team made this happen in just a couple days.

Mike MacGuire and The Platinum Group is exceptional and represents what every realtor/broker should aspire to.

Thanks again to you and your team,

Mike & Leah

Mike was awesome to work with. We were new to town, and he took the time on multiple Saturdays to show us all around different areas of Colorado Springs. To exemplify how well Mike knows the area, he NEVER used GPS to show us houses. Mike remembered what we said we were looking for in a house without us having to repeat ourselves. When we walked through
houses, he had patience and went out of his way to teach us how to look for issues with structure, electrical, etc. He was always available to see houses at the drop of a dime which is really important in this competitive market. He never pressured us to spend more than we were comfortable with. I feel like he really wanted us to find a safe, clean, and beautiful house in our price range. I could keep going, but just interview him and see for yourself!

I have just completed buying my third house and selling a third house through Mike over the course of fifteen years. Every transaction has been completely flawless. Mike’s professional knowledge of the market ensures the best possible outcome for his clients. In addition, his team stays on top of things to keep the process moving and to identify and resolve potential problems early on – he’s “got a guy.” I will continue to call on him for any future real estate needs and wholeheartedly recommend him to family, friends, and neighbors.

I highly recommend the MacGuire Team. Mike and Missy are an amazing team that will make buying or selling a home as painless as possible. They truly go above and beyond! I bought my home through them three years ago and when I needed to move and quickly sell my home, I was able to move out and get settled while they took care of everything from the inspection to maintenance needing to be done around the home. I never had to question what was next or if I was missing anything. They were in constant communication with me about every aspect and made a very complicated process seem like a piece of cake. Anyone buying or selling a home here should use them!

Our experience with the MacGuire Team from start to finish was an exercise in true real estate professionalism. After interviewing multiple brokers in the area, the decision was an easy one. The MacGuire Team coached us toward our desired goals of preparing & selling our home in a timely fashion and meeting and even exceeding our financial expectations! Every question (and there were many) were answered immediately, honestly, and always with our needs first and foremost. Thanks to the MacGuire Team one of the most stressful events a family can endure was turned into a seamless experience. Thank You MacGuire Team!!

Don & Karen

We can't say enough good things about the Mike MacGuire Team. They are great, they led us through the ins and outs and the ups and downs of selling a home. We would highly recommend them as your real estate agent. In today’s home selling environment, you want to work with someone you can depend on and trust. The MacGuire team is your answer. You won't regret it. We didn't!!!

Jim

I have bought and sold many homes and the sale of my home was an incredibly smooth process. I attribute that to Mike’s 30 years’ experience and in particular three important things:

Mike has a Rolodex of professionals that we were able to call upon to assist in preparing our home for the market and again in addressing inspection requests.
When there were multiple interested parties, Mike aggressively negotiated on our behalf and advised/assisted us in choosing the offer that best met all of our needs in sales price, terms and timeline.
Mke prepared a detailed report and personally met with the appraiser to successfully provide justification of the sales price that was on the high end for our neighborhood. If you are buying or selling a home, most definitely, call Mike MacGuire.

Lewis family

As a first-time home buyer my wife and I had a ton of questions and concerns regarding what home we should buy and how the process works. Mike and Missy were with us every step of the way, answered all questions and addressed any concerns we had promptly and professionally. The recommendations and experience in their field of expertise proved vital
in helping us make the right choice for our first home and we couldn't be happier. To Mike and Missy, we couldn't possibly thank you enough for all the hard work, time, and effort you put in to helping us especially with us being out of state but you absolutely guys crushed it and went above and beyond to help us secure our dream home. Thank you so much from the Lewis family.

Justin was an amazing realtor and resource for us during our move across the country! He went above and beyond to help us find the perfect house for us and our pups! We even were able to facetime with Justin through several homes while we were still located in Indiana. He made the process painless and easy!??
