Rock Realty Wisconsin - Testimonials

TESTIMONIALS

"We found Mike online, and, due to positive reviews, phoned him with a request to view houses in the Madison area. We gave Mike no more than one or two days notice, but he was happy to devote the whole of his weekend to us. Our entire house-hunting experience proceeded in similar fashion. We were hunting for houses long distance, so we would wait until an opportunity to travel to Madison presented itself, phone Mike, giving him one or two days to prepare, and show up to view houses. The process took roughly one year to complete. It was long and difficult, but Mike was always pleasant, never complained, made an effort to make himself immediately available, and was never pushy.

Mike is not like many real estate agents who simply want to make a sale, any sale. Instead, Mike made an effort to help us make an honest assessment of the properties we viewed, often pointing out problems himself. Mike left us with no doubt of his honesty and his dedication to his clients.

In addition, since we were shopping long-distance, Mike, with some help from his associate Bethany (who we found to be similarly pleasant and eager to be of service), even took hundreds of high definition photos of properties which he viewed in our stead, often with only a single day's notice. Mike, or one of his associates, would then promptly email the photos to us to view.

During the house-hunting process we changed our minds a number of times, imposed last minute requests, and even had some near melt-downs, but, through it all, Mike was responsive, cheerful, and level-headed. We cannot overstate how hard Mike worked on our behalf. We highly recommend him to any home buyers."

"My husband and I are beyond thankful that we called Michael Collins on a whim last month when we were searching for a foreclosed home to purchase in the Janesville area. We saw a little square ad on the side of the web page that I was looking at and I told my husband, hey call him and maybe he can help us find a property. Little did we know that single phone call would only be the beginning of our journey of searching for a home. Mike went out of his way to help us find the type of property we were looking for. You just don’t find the level of personal attention and customer service that Mike provided us with very often these days.

Anyone I talk to, if they are even thinking about buying or selling their home, I am the first to tell them that they need to call Mike at Rock Realty. You are not going to find a more motivated, and dedicated sales agent out there. To say he went above and beyond what you would expect from an agent these days is a total understatement. Thank you Mike, and Rock Realty for making our dreams come alive with home ownership."

"Mike Collins was easy to talk to and very good at explaining in detail all aspects of the short sale of the property. With a lot of patience, he walked me through the process of a short sale. He was understanding of my plight and very sympathetic. Mike was a pleasure to work with and he is a man of his word. Thank you, Mike, and best of luck to you."

"This was a great effort from Mike Collins. He did a super super job with the selling of our home in Wisconsin. I could not ask for more from him as he kept me well informed of things going on and we are 1200 miles apart. He did more than a 110 percent job on everything. Even removing snow and whatever it took to have our home ready to show. Again, THANKS Mike for everything. Great Job!!!!!!"

"Approx 4 years ago.. I was having some financial strain. I wasn't able to keep up with a first and second mortgage alone as a single mom.

Through friends and family, I was introduced to Mike and Matt.

I didn't want to have to go through the foreclosure process, because I knew that I would be able to pull through the mess I was in within a few years and I didn't want to have that looming over me.

Matt and Mike were able to take over and help me with a short sale. They worked with me directly. They both came to my home, sat down, helped me understand this delicate process (which remains total Greek to me), and they were extremely efficient. My bank worked with me and these gentlemen, and withing approx 3 months, my home was sold in a short sale.

I remain amazed at their abilities and their continued efforts to help me.

Now, 3 years later, I'm looking to purchase... I have looked them up again... and they are helping me find a home that I'm looking for within my specifications and they also have resources to assist with lending.

Couldn't ask for more!!

Thanks so much my friends!! you do an awesome job... Keep up the great work!"

"Michael did a good job following through on the short sale that we did together. Short sales can be painful but he was persistent with the bank."

"Working with Michael was outstanding. I moved to another state and I never worried about the house. Even with a long and stressful short sale Michael was always positive and reassuring that things would work out. I've bought and sold other houses but by far Michael was the best realtor I have ever had. I would recommend him to anyone!!! Five stars!!! Thanks again Michael!! Great job!!!"

"My home was in foreclosure, and I was going to turn it over to the bank, untill I spoke with Mike about putting my house up for a Short Sale. He explained the advantages of a short sale vs foreclosure, and I decided to let Mike sell my home. My mortgage company put up many roadblocks along the way, but Mike was able to solve everything. In the end Mike worked very hard on this sale. I am very happy with his skills at dealing with buyers/sellers, and Mortgage companies. I would recommend Michael Collins and Rock Realty in the future."

"Michael Collins and Matt Heitmann with Rock Realty were great! I have been searching for a House/Condo for the past 3 years, and they were with me the whole way. Even through all of the struggles we had to deal with, they didn't give up on me. They gave me great advice, and didn't pressure me into making any decisions that they thought I would regret. Michael and Matt both actually even told me not to buy in some cases because they thought the house or condo would not be a good fit for me.

The overall experience was great, and I will definitely be using Michael Collins and Matt Heitmann of Rock Realty with my next home purchase."

"Mike Collins helped us sell our home, he was a very nice guy and always there when we had any questions or concerns! Mike went above and beyond and even helped paint the house when there was a time crunch for the inspection. We appreciated all that Mike did!"

"My first listing contract (with another agency) expired without a single showing. I contacted Mike Collins hoping to get some straight advice about whether he thought the property would ever sell versus letting the lender foreclose on the property and save my mortgage payments for legal counsel. He was upfront from day one. He told me that it would take a while and that I'd probably have to hold it through the winter (I called him in September) but it would probably sell in the spring. His honesty made me immediately willing to hire him. He found a buyer in May and worked with my lender to close the sale in record time."

"We are writing this testimonial to inform any potential clients that Michael Collins successfully helped save our home. We found ourselves in a financial hardship which caused us to be late on mortgage payments. This eventually led our lender to foreclose on our home. Michael Collins was able to negotiate with our lender and cancel the court auction. This gave us time to resolve our financial difficulties and eventually work out a payment plan with the bank."

"We both strongly endorse Michael Collins as an agent who has the experience and resources to help people like us in a similar situation. We are deeply gratefull for his efforts and plan to use him as our agent in any future real estate transactions."

"I found myself in a bad financial spot when I lost one of the two jobs I was working. Soon I didn’t have the money to pay even my most important bills. After falling behind in payments on my house I was contacted by Rock Realty. They suggested that instead of losing my house through foreclosure I should attempt to do a short sale on my home.

It was easy working with Matthew and Michael from Rock Realty. They were able to keep a foreclosure off of my records and lift a huge weight off of my shoulders. The couple that we sold the home to were very happy to get it at such a cheap price. I would recommend Rock Realty to anyone who may be struggling to make their house payments."

"I am nothing but honored and enthusiastic to be able to write and highly recommend Mike Collins with Rock Reality for your next real estate adventure. I had a very negative experience with a different major realtor in the Janesville area who rushed me in an out of houses, pressuring me to sign purchase agreements, and caring more about the money then the person and the house that best fit them.

It was just the opposite with Mr. Collins. Mike with Rock Reality is honest, takes the time to find the right home for you without pressure, cares more about doing what is right by his clients and his reputation than just simply making the sale. For Mike, word of mouth is the best advertising he can get and he cherishes keeping his positive.

Mike Collins and Rock Realty were fair and thorough. When it came to signing contracts and paperwork, Mike took the time to go line-by-line to make sure I understood exactly what I was signing. Never did I feel like I was being rushed or taking up time from a different appointment.

With great pleasure and gratitude, I recommend Mike Collins and Rock Reality for your next home hunt or sale.
