Client Testimonials
Michael Pallares is an unbelievably good real estate agent. He has now helped us buy and sell a condo and a house and to buy our current house (all within the last 6 years). He listens to our needs, he works incredibly hard to make the sale work and go smoothly, and he provides enormous support throughout the process. We have gone to many open houses and met many different agents and there were very few that we would have even considered hiring to work on our behalf. We found Michael by luck, but you now have reviewers who have worked with him multiple times to assure you that Michael is the best person to go to when it comes to home sales. We recommend him to others all the time and will ask him to work with us when it comes time to sell another house. Michael truly is the best! -- Mary H., May 2011
Michael Pallares is so good at what he does, it’s hard to know where to begin. Quite simply, he’s the best Realtor you could hope to have on your side, period. He worked tirelessly to ensure that our house was sold quickly for a good price, and accomplished it beautifully despite the miserable housing market. His diligence and perseverance made my wife and me feel as though we were his only clients. He hit the ground running and never let up, producing top-notch marketing materials, hosting frequent open houses and working his connections to land not just one, but three solid offers on our house. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, always courteous and professional (and often funny!), armed with impeccable advice for every situation. He exceeded every expectation we had and we’re immensely grateful for his efforts. -- Scott C., March 2011
I found Michael Pallares by reading the testimonials on his website and now that I just purchased my first home with his help, I can verify that all the praise is merited. From my very first phone contact with him (which I received just a few minutes after e-mailing him), Michael placed me at ease with his friendly manner, calm demeanor, enthusiasm and expertise in home buying. From start to finish, he patiently walked me through every step of the process, clearly explaining everything that would happen so I never felt surprised or unprepared and he always stayed on top of all the deadlines, diligently keeping me on track with friendly reminders and offers to be of assistance. Anytime I contacted him with questions or concerns, he replied right away and was always helpful in his response. When we looked at condos together, he was immediately able to insightfully and incisively evaluate the pros and cons of each one with the utmost candor and clarity. Throughout the home-buying process, Michael Pallares was organized, knowledgeable, totally reliable and conscientious, level-headed, and good-natured. I cannot recommend him more highly.” -- Rebecca R., February 2011
Michael Pallares is fantastic! He helped my wife and me find an amazing place that we were able to close in less than 5 weeks after we started. From the beginning I was sending him updates on what we were thinking only to find him online late at night narrowing down a list of homes for us to see. I can be a demanding client. I have a background in real estate and knew what we were looking for and I don’t like to waste time. Within just a few home visits, Michael was able to listen to our comments and quickly start showing us one great option after another. When we did ultimately find ‘the one’ he went above and beyond, picking up the slack when the other agent or vendors dropped the ball to keep our deal on track. Not only do I highly recommend him, I will definitely use him again if I buy or sell anything in Eastern Massachusetts. I was lucky enough to get referred to Michael through a friend and I feel compelled to do the same because he is a rare gem. You won’t be disappointed. -- Hani M., January 2011
Michael came to us highly recommended by friends who had relocated to the Boston area a few years before us. We are happy to report that he lived up to our expectations and then he exceeded them! Michael is professional, very thoughtful, and he went out of his way to accommodate us during our relocation to Boston. During the house-hunting process, Michael listened to our needs and helped us narrow down our search to the right neighborhoods and properties for us. After we had an offer accepted, we were completely at-ease during the process because we knew that Michael had everything under control at all times. We can’t say enough about how much the quality of a real estate agent can impact the home-buying and selling process, and with Michael, it felt easy. We would highly recommend him without reservation. -- Becky G., July 2010
Michael Pallares is the Best!! Despite the economic downturn and the slowdown in the real estate market in MA, Michael sold my property in Roslindale in three months. He was always proactive in marketing the property, had several Open Houses and always kept me informed and educated on the process. He is highly professional, respectful and very funny! If you want positive results buying or selling a property, Michael is the person you want on your team. -- Sarah V., April 2010
Loved working with Michael Pallares! We were first-time home buyers with probably the longest, most drawn out and painful experience securing a loan. Michael stuck with us patiently, sometimes even playing the psychologist when needed. He also fiercely stuck up for us when we were mistreated by a mortgage broker (a piece of advice: Use Michael's recommendations for mortgage brokers, lawyers, etc.). Michael is professional and fun to work with and he guided us through every step of the way. I hope, after this experience, to remain a friend of his for many years to come. I highly recommend him! -- Melanie E., April 2010
Michael was fantastic!!! I just recently bought my first house (well condo) and had Michael as my Realtor. From day one he was patient with me, never pushed me to look at places I didn't want to see, and was always honest about his views on the properties. Being in my 20's and a first-time home buyer I had a TON of questions, all of which he answered and made sure that I understood. When it came time to putting in offers, he explained the whole process so that I wasn't surprised at any point. I worked with a couple Realtors before I meet Michael, they didn't even compare to the commitment he has for his clients. I will definitely recommend him to friends/family, and will personally use him when I sell or buy my next place. -- Z. Shepard, April 2010
Michael Pallares is great! I have been working with Michael for over two years to find the perfect home. I am a first-time buyer and having Michael there to guide me through the process was amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable, he took the time to really listen to what I was looking for and helped me to find my dream home. I could not have done it without him! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking! -- S.I, December 2009
Wonderful experience selling our home. Michael Pallares helped my wife and I sell our home in Milton under a very tight time frame for the price we targeted. Michael was always available for showings and he was an excellent negotiator when it came time to make the deal. We also very much appreciated his understanding of our daytime schedule with a young child at home and his willingness to schedule events around our needs. Another key to selling our home quickly was the creative marketing approach and use of technology to showcase our listing. You won't find a more professional Realtor. -- C. Miller, December 2009
Above and beyond. Michael Pallares helped us sell our house in 2008 in a dismal market. When nothing around us was selling Michael never stopped working to showcase our home. He held open houses almost every weekend and worked tirelessly with buyer's agents in the community to see that our home was first on their list of showings. Even when we moved away before our home sale closed Michael attended to every element of the closure, i.e. inspection, appraisals and repairs, and kept us apprised of every detail, ensuring a smooth transaction. Our final impression of Michael as a real estate agent, and as a person in general, is one of complete integrity. We are so grateful and would recommend him to anyone. -- Erin K., July 2009
Highly recommend Michael Pallares. We recently purchased our first home and are absolutely delighted with it, thanks to Michael Pallares's invaluable work as our broker. As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions. Michael was extremely knowledgeable and a great resource to us as we figured out exactly what we were looking for, and in guiding us through the entire process. He had a real knack for picking out places for us to see that fit our needs and style (for both of us - no small feat!), and was always accessible and prompt by phone and email, getting us in to see new places, and following through on every detail, always with a great sense of humor and patience! It was a real pleasure getting to work with Michael, and we look forward to working with him again in the future, though not any time soon; we love our new home! -- Sarah J., September 2009
