It's a very complex process and he handled it well. We would use him again if we buy another property in Tucson. (less)

"On a recent family vacation to visit our daughter, who is in the Air Force stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB, we unexpectedly fell in love with Tucson, AZ and the surrounding area; and subsequently decided to start looking for our future retirement home here. Since we were only going to be in the area for a few weeks and didn't want to spend our entire vacation looking at property and haggling with realtors, we decided to draft and communicate to several realtors a detailed listing of our requirements and personal desires for the type of homes and ammenities we wanted to see. As a result, most of the realtors we spoke with either didn't want to accommodate our restricted schedule or didn't believe that we were serious about buying property based on our unique circumstances and limited time in Tucson.
After a few days of communicating with local area realtors and attending showings of property that met few, if any, of our requirements; we were rather discouraged... then we were contacted by Michael Shiner. After only one conversation with Michael, we knew that we were finally dealing with a "true professional" and he made it clear that his priority was not only to help us find the right house, but also to ensure that we were able to spend quality time with our daughter during our vacation in Arizona. He stated that it was his job to find and show only properties that met our list of requirements and personal desires; and that he would coordinate all of our meetings and any property showings around our schedule to accommodate our vacation timeline and related restrictions. After our initial meeting, Michael immediately went to work and true to his word, every property he showed us met our list of requirements. Every meeting and property showing with Michael was an informative, stress-free, and enjoyable experience. Through Michael we learned so much more about Tucson, Pima County and the local real estate market, that it served to further solidified our intent to purchase a home in Tucson. Our interaction with Michael also facilitated our ability to make an informed decision about what and where to buy.
As a retired Military Officer, I've lived all over the world and have owned several properties in various states across the country; so we wanted our retirement home to be something special. We wanted to take our time and make sure that we chose the right property for all the right reasons. Michael was very patient and understanding of our desire to choose the right home for us and although he showed us many beautiful homes, we were looking for the one special house that would "speak to us" leaving no doubt that we were making the right choice. Sadly, despite Michael's efforts, we did not find the right house before our vacation ended.
Irregardless of this minor set back, Michael made a commitment to us to continue providing information on properties as they became available. After our departure he communicated with us weekly, providing detailed information on new listings that met our stated requirements. Through his continued effort and support, 4-months later we selected our new home from the information that Michael had provided. Michael coordinated with our daughter in Tucson and escorted her view the property on our behalf. With Michael's assistance we made an offer for the property, and two months later we were proud owners of what we think is the most beautiful home in Tucson."
P.S.: I live and work for the U.S. Government in Italy and we were so impressed with Michael's professionalism, knowledge, honesty and customer service skills; and in the level of trust he had earned from us through our interactions, that we completed all of the documentation for the purchase of our new home without being present in Tucson. Michael is an"AWESOME" young real estate professional who I would strongly recommend to any home owner or buyer to handle all their realty needs. (less)

My Fiancee and I were looking for a steal and Michael was able to find us exactly what we wanted a great home for a good price. He showed us multiple properties giving us several options with not only what we thought we wanted but what he also though might work for us as well which was great. Michael made sure that we were well informed as to what was going on at all times and made our buying experience comfortable for the both of us. I will definatly recommend Michael to friends and family as well as use him in the future if I have to. (less)
