Michael Lavigne Real Estate, COMPASS - Capitola, California

Michael Lavigne recently represented me on an investment property purchase and sale in Los Gatos, and obtained superb results . Michael helped me navigate through the 1031 exchange process on several related properties, and provided excellent advice before, during, and after the sale. As a 15 year veteran of the US Marine Corps, I try to reach for high standards myself, and I hope for the same from others. Please allow me to assure you from personal experience: If you are selling or buying a home or investment property in Silicon Valley or along Monterey Bay, Michael Lavigne is the real estate professional that you absolutely want to have on your team.

Thanks in large part to Mike’s initiative we are now living in our dream home in Pacific Grove. His creativity, attention to detail, persistence, planning, and problem-solving skills were all put to the test as we navigated a challenging purchase. We really appreciate Mike’s expertise and balanced nature but, even more so, the integrity in every aspect of his work and interactions. I can’t overstate how important that is when you are dealing with such a large decision/purchase. Mike was on top of all details, arranged contractors for needed work, and personally saw to it that all inspections/services were done on time. I rarely write reviews, but this is one person I felt compelled to share our experience. You’ll have peace of mind when you connect with Mike.

Excellent. Mike helped us in all facets of the home-buying process from identifying a property to fully vetting and negotiating a purchase. We are not native Californians and his knowledge was essential as he did all the work digesting the information, permits and vendor bids to get us through the process. I have worked with many, many agents on the east coast and Mike was a breath of fresh air. He really put in so much more work than I expected and continues to help us as we settle into our new home. Such a professional, competent, and helpful agent. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking to buy/sell real estate in the area!

Michael Lavigne has represented our family in 3 different real estate deals during the last 5 years - both on the buy and sell sides. His meticulous attention to detail made each deal flow smoothly and professionally. His market knowledge and relationship with contractors, design services and City officials is truly impressive. I can't say enough about Michael's honesty, integrity and willingness to go the extra mile for his clients.

We highly recommend Mike Lavigne. He recently guided us through the purchase of our eighth house, and far surpassed any of our previous realtors. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the local area, allowing him to give useful advice on home location selection. As we live some distance from Aptos, it was difficult for us to directly monitor repairs, escrow concerns, and the like. Fortunately, Mike is very pro-active, taking care of every issue, sometimes even before we found out about them. He makes good use of his prior experience as a luxury home builder and engineering contractor, and thanks to his ability to develop a close working relationship with the seller's agent, we were able to get complicated repair work done in an expeditious manner prior to close of escrow.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike over a period of several months and found him to be professional, proactive, and very knowledgeable. In my opinion, Mike is one of the most ethical, hard-working, and honest real estate professionals I have met and I consider myself fortunate to have had him on my team. Go with Mike - you will be glad you did.
