Michael Ackerman

“Michael is #1. We moved a couple of months ago and found our dream place in a cool building on day one. Well, we thought we did, because we were dazzled that it hit one (and only one) of our many criteria. Still, we were in love and wanted to buy it. However, because we really weren't ready and because there were many other offers on it, we did not get it. We were crushed. Michael assured us that we would find a place that hit all of our criteria. He talked with us about what was really important to us and came up with lots of great options for us. It was so great to have someone who knows the area so well and could give us some of the history of buildings and what is happening in the city. Of course, with Michael's guidance, we found a place that we loved. The best part is that right before we bought, another unit in our original "dream building" came on the market and we could sincerely say that we were thrilled that we worked with Michael and found our REAL dream condo. We could not have asked for a better real estate professional!!”

“Michael Ackerman and Ron Waxman of Coldwell Banker Bain were an absolute pleasure to work with during the selling my home on Queen Anne – both of them exceeding my expectations at every turn. When I’d made the decision to sell, Michael and Ron presented me with a detailed market analysis, a visual of s proposed web site that included a video and photographs taken by a professional photographer and a detailed roadmap of how we'd proceed. The actual product was fantastic and having the house staged by a company they had recommended, I couldn’t have been more satisfied, and convinced I'd made the right decision to go with Mike and Ron. Once the house was listed and I'd moved away from the area, Michael and Ron looked after the house like it was their own. The house sold quickly, and in conjunction with their team of experts, the entire process couldn't have gone smoother – what more could I’ve asked for? Thank you Michael and Ron, for your professionalism, expertise and patience!”

“Stop what you’re doing, pick up the phone and call this amazing team! Michael Ackerman and Melissa Clarke are, individually, amazing people and as a team, magnificent! Melissa was our primary contact and was with us every step of our journey selling our West Seattle home as we moved to Southern California. Day one, Michael came to our home with his team and we were blown away by their efficiency, professionalism and warmth. It was instant connection with them both! We were able to literally turn over the keys to Melissa and move to California, leaving this dynamo of organization to manage the oh so many details of prepping our home to sell; painting, plumbing, yard work, staging, the list goes on. We sold in 9 days with multiple offers. Melissa takes pride in providing outstanding care of your home. Melissa managed our sale as if it was her own and her attention to detail was astounding. Doing on our own what she accomplished so quickly, would have been impossible. We cannot speak highly enough of this truly powerhouse of a team. Elise Blane and Pete Elkins”
