I've known Mike since I first came to Hollister in 2001. He and I connected on a friendly connection from our past. We moved away in 2008 and rented our Hollister home to a tenant. When the tenant moved in September of this year it was time to sell our home. I hadn't seen Mike for years, but just the same I remembered the professional impact he on me. I'd been gone so long I wasn't sure where his office had been. However, I went into the Realty World where I thought I had met with him years before. Voila! Pay dirt.

We met with him and began laying out plans to have him help us sell our home at 1651 Sonoma Ct. He told me that in the years since we'd first met he had found his niche in something he did really well. Marketing homes !

So we began the process. His integrity stands out. We listened to him on the things he recommended we do to get the home ready for sale. We knew he was right about what the typical home buyer liked in a home and followed his directions. He emphasized that if we did the things necessary to the house to make a good impression on buyers that we could expect a prompt sale.

He set the price for the market and we put things in place, new carpet, paint inside and out. new roof. new light fixtures, garden manicure and so on.

At every turn in the road Mike was right on top of every item, communicated regularly. I didn't have to remind him of anything.

So we went on the MLS the Saturday before Thanksgiving. By Tuesday before Thanksgiving we had our first offer above the price Mike had set. Then two more. Finally a fourth and we're in escrow.

Mike was the perfect guide through all of this. If there is a standard of professionalism in real estate transactions Mike tops it all.

Mike Walters did a great job selling my very difficult & remote home. The home was completely off the grid, had no building permits, and was up in the back country. Mike stuck with it, and with his expertise & professionalism i would highly recommend Mike Walters for your real estate needs.

Mike recently handled a rural property sale for us that was in Probate; he put forth a great deal of effort in research to resolve many of the complications with the sale. He did a great job narrowing down the various bids and I was impressed with his negotiating skills when it came time to negotiate the final selling price. He was friendly, honest, trustworthy, and always available when we had questions or concerns. Probate can be a difficult thing to deal with and I'm happy to have had Mike to help me through it!.

When we first moved to California seven years ago, Mike helped us get into our first home here in the crazy post-bubble more-or-less cash market, closing on a short-sale in an unheard-of 10 weeks. Naturally when it was time to start thinking about moving again, we have him a call. Initially we were just trying to figure out whether and how to make a move in another very competitive market so we asked Mike to come by and help us put together a punch list of improvements to complete on our house prior to listing. He was very thorough with suggestions down to every little detail, but never critical. We were confident out home would sell very quickly, but very nervous about not being able to be competitive enough to have an offer accepted on the other end of the transaction and feared we would wind up stuck in the rental loop. Mike assured us he would never let that happen and would structure our sale to protect us against that scenario. We only wanted to move if we could get into a specific neighborhood without downsizing and without substantially increasing our monthly mortgage payment. Talk about a tall order! Thinking we were about 1-2 years out from pulling the trigger, Mike suggested we start attending open houses in our preferred neighborhood and settle on which floor plans we would consider. He would then be willing to write letters and knock on doors of those homes to try to get us a pocket listing. What started as a fact-finding mission for us turned in to finding the perfect home, and next thing you know we were scrambling to finish as much as we could on the punch list, and within a month we had made an offer (without even having put out house up for sale), gotten our home on the market, and had our offer accepted. This was nothing short of miraculous in this market!! Mike helped navigate through a clouded title issue with the new house, getting us an extended rent-back on our existing home when the current owners of our new place were slow to close, and all this in the middle of getting ready for major surgery. We are pleased to call him not only our realtor but our friend. With gratitude, Michelle and Torsten Partsch

Mike Walters is immensely gifted and skilled at what he does. So much so, that I felt comfortable delegating most decision-making to his expertise. This was a wise choice, as he was impressively able to navigate any challenges that present themselves and the transaction could not have gone more smoothly and quickly. I could not speak more highly of Mike!!

My wife and I moved to Hollister in March of 2013 and selected Mike Walters to be our realtor. We spent several weeks looking at homes that were for sale in the area, but could not find the right one right away. Mike was able to find us a month to month rental for us to live in until we found the right home to purchase. After 3 months, with a lot of patience from Mike, we finally found the home that we liked. I highly recommend Mike Walters. He is energetic, patient, totally honest, and works very hard to make his clients happy and satisfied. I have since seen the approach he uses to help clients sell their home and I am very impressed.
