Mike was great every step of the way.

Always kept me informed on any updates, kept my timeline in motion and made sure everything was getting done, helped with recommendations and market insight. and is always so kind. I will definitely go back to Mike when I look to sell my home, and buy a new one.

Mike Gallis was exceptionally from the start right up until the closing and even after with his demeanor, professionalism, informative knowledge, contactability and flexibility.

When speaking with Mike and spending time with him viewing houses it never seemed like there was a rush, it seemed like he had all of the time in the world for my needs - this is a great skill and it was very much appreciated. Mike would arrange viewings around my tight schedule (due to my working hours) and was always available by phone one or another. As a first time buyer Mike explained some of the nuances about buying homes, he helped me realise what I wanted, and what I didn't want. We saw enough homes for me to dial on to what I wanted and when I was shown 308 44th St I knew straight away that this was it. The drop feed of homes as soon as they come on the market was extremely helpful, it meant that I didn't need to keep looking through the same list to see if there were updates but knew in real time that something had changed. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike, it was a pleasure to work with him and I'd be confident he could help someone else find their perfect home as he did with me. My only criticism with the process was really out of Mike's hands and was regarding the Buyer's Agency Contract and the verbiage contained and timing of when I signed it. The contractual language was very strong and was contrary to what was the given understanding of how sale's are conducted in PA i.e. the seller's pay the realtor fees. I signed this agreement when I was putting my offer in - I felt like it was too late to dispute because I didn't want to miss out on the house. In this instance, Mike explained things to me, I trusted him and what he said and did my own research to realise that it was a fairly standard agreement. However, I am still left with a distaste from signing that agreement in the way that I did - the contractual language should have been worded differently to more accurately reflect what the situation was - basically, the realtor fee was to be paid the seller but if I (the buyer) pull out of the purchase and buy a different house I still owe the realtor a fee. As previously stated, I understand the requirement for the contract but disagree with the wording and how it is handled/when it is presented to be signed.

I worked with Mike buying my first house in 2019, It was a great experience.

I was digging through some old emails and was flooded with all of the memories of the home buying process. As stressful as it was Mike was always responsive, optimistic, and could answer any of the questions that I had. Mike made the home buying process easy.

Brendon Bittel

Our realtor, Michael Gallis, was extremely professional and responsive to any questions or needs.

He made sure to keep us informed along the entire buying process. He shared important documents and information between the us and seller, provided us with general information on the new location’s points of interests and was very responsive to calls, emails and texts. I think you will find him to be very thorough and easy to work with! We thank him for all his efforts.

"Michael was extremely professional and competent. I felt confident in his ability to work for my best interests. He always informed me in advance of deadlines and upcoming events. His ability to negotiate with the buyer’s agent was diplomatic and professional.He always worked toward a fair market value. His respect for my home was evident when he asked potential buyers to remove their shoes when touring as the winter weather presented a problem."

"This was my first time purchasing a house, which I let Michael know. He educated me on the process and always provided me with options. His expertise showed through his ability to explain everything I needed to know through my home search and eventual purchase. Michael was extremely professional and responsive. He was always on top of it! Whether a message was time sensitive or not, he was always quick to provide an answer. He is also very proactive which made me as a buyer feel great knowing that I was working with someone who was very knowledgeable in the market. It allowed for us to make informed decisions. He provided background of the surrounding neighborhood in an organic way. It was great working with Michael and I would do the same if I was to buy another house."

"As a first-time home buyer, Michael was all-around excellent to work with. He was responsive and always available for us, his knowledge of the process and Pittsburgh area was second to none, and we felt totally taken care of when it came to buying our first home. It's now a year since we bought our home and his work ethic and knowledge still stick with us as exceptional. We faced our share of the unexpected when it came to sellers, and Michael was always there to steady our nerves and did everything he could to find a solution. We're grateful for his effort and would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase"

"If you’re looking for an agent who will go above and beyond, be honest about how far your resources can go, Michael is the best!As a first time home buyer, he was able to guide the process towards properties that would not overwhelm, and help both the seller and myself connect with contractors and other third parties for savings on a new roof, electrical fixes and more. Michael continued to help through post buying stress as well, coordinating and connecting me with roofers to help me when the first options feel through. Michael is kind, personable, and will help you above and beyond your expectations! When I’m ready for another home, I know who to call!"

"Michael was so wonderful and an absolutely needed person for the purchase of our new house! My partner and i are first time home buyers and had very little knowledge of the process going into buying a house. Michael was extremely knowledgable and so thorough in explaining the steps and what was needed during the process. Not only was he a great resource, but he was always attentive, responsive and had wonderful attitude. On top of his great real estate knowledge he knew a lot about the neighborhoods and was genuinely excited about the areas we were looking in around pittsburgh. Was truly a pleasure to work with and would absolutely recommend!"

"Mike is the best in the business. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Pittsburgh area and will work tirelessly to answer your questions, give suggestions, and communicate between you and everyone else involved in the real estate process. Mike helped us purchase our first home, sell it a decade later (under contract in one day), and buy our second home."
