Michael Slate

Palm Springs Desert Area Realtor Elevate Palm Springs Real Estate
I've found real estate as my way to truly live my passion for the Palm Springs lifestyle. Here I get to interact with some of the best personalities. I am in and out of some of the most beautiful and iconic, architectural gems in the Desert, on an almost daily basis. The only thing that makes it any better is sharing this slice of life with others. I love Palm Springs.

Michael was totally professional in selling my home and exhibited great patience in dealing with an extremely finicky, pedantic, difficult and demanding buyer. But we got there in the end and everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Michael as a proactive agent who always brings a superb attitude to the table.

Previous Clients
We had worked with Michael previously in 2016 for our first condo purchase in Palm Springs. Fast forward to 2023 when we decided to sell and purchase a larger unit. We contacted Michael as soon as we saw a larger unit go on the market in a complex we had been interested in. Without any delay, he contacted the agent, arranged for a viewing (he did a video for us, since we were out of town) and prepared an offer for us. It is without a doubt, the most reassuring feeling when you can trust your agent to handle all of the aspects of a purchase, especially when you are out of town. His professionalism and acute sense of the market is what makes him stand out from the rest. The purchase went so smoothly, there was nothing left to chance. And when it came time to sell our current unit, he was 2 steps ahead and we hit the market running. His pricing and attention to detail, made the difference in getting an offer the was solid. I would look no further when searching for an agent after you meet with Michael and discover what a true professional he is.

My partners and I decided to meet with Michael to see if he was the one to represent us in selling our beautiful home. We decided he was the guy.
There were many aspects of our journey in selling the home that let us know we had chosen the right agent .
Michael was knowledgeable, on time, in integrity as the offers rolled in.
Patience was practiced as aspects of the selling journey infolded.
We wound up selling the property a bit above
Our asking price and all interests involved (sellers and buyers) were very pleased with the professionalism experienced.
Michael is now representing us in a new purchase because of his past performance and abilities.

It’s an amazing experience to work with someone who genuinely cares about you and your family. This is our 4th transaction with Michael and we will continue to sing his praises and recommend him whenever possible. He created targeted social media content and timely client follow up which resulted in a full price offer each time. He is the consummate professional who is consistently responsive, intuitive and always has your best interest in mind. Thanks Michael for another successful sale!

Michael is wonderful! He helped us secure a property that went into multiple offers, which is amazing. He made the buying process seamless and stress-free. We live out of state, so we depended on Michael for pretty much everything, and when we came into town, he made himself available for whatever we needed. We can’t say enough good things about Michael and we are so grateful to have found him!

A Bay Area realtor referred us to Michael. He made the entire buying experience wonderful - the perfect balance of responsiveness and informative. As First time buyers, we couldn’t have asked for better guide.

After seven full years of on-and-off-again looking with Michael for the just-right house in Palm Springs, we finally closed on a home that suits us perfectly. It may be his longest sales cycle ever, yet through it all he was consistently amazing and eager to help. Our criteria changed as life changed over the years and Michael supported us the whole way. He was and remains upbeat, professional, and caring. He always kept our best interest in mind. Perseverance and patience paid off in the end for us all, I'm happy to say. Over this long period of time we recommended friends to him and will continue to do so. You'd be well-served to engage his services if you're in the market.

Michael Slate was great to work with! He was very attentive to our preferences, super responsive to the many questions we had and supported us in ensuring we were comfortable with every aspect of the deal. He helped us buy an amazing home and we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.

Had the pleasure and privilege to work with Michael on the sale of our condo in Palm Springs. The process and sale was seemless and highly recommend Michael and his team. Also handling the project whilst we were away had its challenges that Michael handled every step of the way to ensure the process was smooth. We do hope to work with Michael again on a future purchase . The best !

Micheal Slate is the MVP of real estate. My situation was really tough to work with trying to buy and sell at the same time. Michael Slate made this process seamless and possible. He stayed positive and he kept me positive when it looked like things were stalling. I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, patient, honest, helpful, Michael Slate is. He will always be number one in my book!! If you want to buy or sell your home and not be concerned about whether or not your realtor is really looking out for you then Michael Slate is your guy!!! The GOAT of real estate!!

Michael and the Elevate Palm Spring Team were phenomenal! Michael was able to identify what my wife and I were searching for, and then take us to it. He was great with communication, and would return our calls and/or text messages almost immediately, even if just to inform us he was with another client and would get back to us soon. He has guided us, and continues to guide us, with our journey of breaking into the STR industry with our new house. Michael always made sure to relay any and all information he would receive from the seller/builder, escrow agents, and lender. We really appreciate how he was more than willing to work around our hectic work schedule, as we are healthcare professionals that work the night shift (6:30pm-7:30am) at the hospital. Michael just had that good energy!
!!! LOOK NO FURTHER !!!
We can't recommend Michael enough and can't wait to work with him again when we look for our next purchase!

Michael was referred to us from our Bay Area realtor. We couldn’t be happier. Michael remained responsive and informative through the whole buying process. As First time buyers, we couldn’t have asked for better guidance. We genuinely felt that Michael prioritized our happiness, rather than just another sale of a home. He went above and beyond, putting us in touch with necessary contractors. We hope to continue to work with Michael with all of our real estate needs.

After traveling yearly to the Coachella Valley to escape the often harsh winter weather, we determined now was the time to search for a home for our retirement years. Thankfully we were so fortunate to have been referred to Michael Slate to lead us through this purchase. Michael had amazing insights as we looked at different areas and openly shared his own personal thoughts and concerns. The information he provided in the early days of our search allowed us to narrow in quickly to the ideal area.

As our search progressed while we weren’t in CA, it was evident we had partnered with the perfect resource in Michael. He was patient, fully engaged and forthcoming and expertly led us in the right direction.

In short, Michael was on our side working to make our purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Michael was that he was always more focused on answering our questions and giving us good advice, than he was on closing a deal. We absolutely and whole-heartedly recommend Michael and will definitely work with him again.

Once again Michael worked his magic.
We just sold our home in Desert park estate. No need to put down a number but let's just say that we catered the record for home values in the Desert Park Estate neighborhood.
Michael's advice and intel was crucial and his moral support guided us through this very emotional transition.

Michael Slate is truly an amazing professional!! Not only did Michael nail down so easily the perfect condo for me to purchase, he nurtured me through what would normally be such a stressful experience with calm and ease. He always made himself available for any questions and guidance throughout the whole experience. Do yourself a favor and do not go past hiring Michael to represent you in buying or selling your property.

Michael is a consummate professional and a wonderful person in general. He went above and beyond in my search for a home and gave me a thorough overview of the geography, neighborhoods, and other aspects of the real estate search that were instrumental in my final property acquisition.

I’ve worked with numerous realtors and Michael stands above them all. He has been an absolute delight to work with and I recommend him and his team with zero hesitation. I look forward to working with Michael again for my future needs. Thank you Mike and Elevate Team!

Michael has been instrumental in navigating the stressful process of finding a home in Palm Springs. My partner and I have struggled to find a place to call home. inventory is low and our standards are high. Michael has been by our side every step and he helped us find and secure a beautiful property.
I think Michael's best quality is communication and punctuality. There were no surprises at each corner, he anticipated and tackled problems before they become obstacles.
Highly recommend Michael Slate.

I have had Michael Slate represent me in the sale of a house in Palm Springs and the subsequent purchase of another property in Palm Springs almost a full year later. He is always very quick to respond to my texts or emails. He goes above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly in any real estate transaction. I highly recommend using Michael for any of your real estate needs!
