Your Home SOLD Guaranteed or I'll Buy it at a Price YOU Agree to!*
Michael Forkas launched his real estate career after successfully building a real estate development company.
Simply put, Michael will not sell his clients a home that he would not buy himself. His systems, processes, and strategies change the way real estate is sold and the systematic trademarked approach he embraces guarantees his client's satisfaction and success.
Unlike the typical real estate agent, Michael backs his words up with accountability. He will guarantee to sell his clients' home at a time and price they agree to, or he will buy it himself at a price he and the seller mutually agree on.
AFFILIATIONS

WHY USE AN AGENT TO SELL
When the market is favoring the Seller, it may seem like a slam-dunk to sell a home. But there are so many ways things can go wrong for a seller who tries to represent themselves in selling a home.
The legal aspects of the contract alone are getting harder to navigate and seller’s need a professional that can write a solid contract, protecting their interests. In this fast market, of an average of 15 days or less, on the market, using an Agent is more likely to get a fair market value for your home, assist with qualified buyers, and make sure your investment is represented properly and sold.
WHY USE AN AGENT TO BUY
They have a ton of training! Buying a home requires lots of forms, reports, documents, disclosures, and other technical stuff. Agents can help you prepare an offer, advise you with contingencies, avoid costly mistakes, and delays in the process.
​
-
Real Estate Agents have even more search power than you do when it comes to finding listings that fit your criteria.
-
They know how to negotiate. It’s their job to help you be successful in this market. Knowing what to negotiate and what favors not to ask is part of their skill set.
-
They are connected to everyone in the industry. Agents make it their job to know everyone that can possibly help in the process of buying. Mortgage brokers, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, stagers, and more, are in their network.
-
Whether you are buying from a friend or relative, you should have someone that has your back representing your interests. Buying a home is one of the largest purchases you will ever make.
