We really enjoyed working with Mike! He's very professional and is quick to respond. With all of the new hoops you have to jump through to purchase a new home, Mike was there to walk us through every step and give much needed advice. From the first house we looked at all the way through the paperwork at closing, Mike was always readily available and more than happy to help in any way. We truly appreciate all he did for us and are extremely happy and blessed with our new home he helped us purchase!

A friend from work recommended Mike, and I'm so very glad that I listened to that recommendation.  We were first time home-buyers who had a good idea of what we wanted, and we knew it might be difficult to find what we wanted where we wanted.  Mike was extremely patient with us as we saw several houses but did not feel like we had found 'the one'.  He was very responsive and knowledgeable, patiently answering all of our questions about the process.  He gave recommendations for other services when asked (i.e. lender, inspector, etc...) but never mentioned anyone unless we asked.   He would always ask what we liked and didn't like about the houses we saw, and that helped him understand what we wanted as best he could.  I think he knew when he found the home we wound up buying before we even saw it.  We had seen houses moving quickly, and so we saw the home the morning after it went on the market.  We liked what we saw and he stayed with us to write up the contract right then and there (he had actually come prepared with most of it already drafted up).  He was there to answer questions during the inspection, through the (brief) negotiations, and at the closing.  There were no surprises along the way, and I always felt I could trust Mike.  Honesty is so important.  I would completely recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.  Thanks Mike for everything!

"I really enjoyed working with you and your wife. You had such a limited area and price range I was worried about finding you something. Because you were patient we found the perfect house and location. I am so happy for you. I hope your home brings many years of fond memories. Remember I am still here for you if you need me."

Mike Puckett does his job... does it WELL... and then goes ABOVE AND BEYOND.
Mike is a Realtor that you can trust and count on every step of the home-buying process.
Mike met with us early in the process to determine our needs and referred us to an incredible mortgage service company and took the time to sit and make sure every question and concern was answered. Mike made sure that we were all comfortable and showed great respect for every individual involved in this home purchase process.
Mike arranged many showings and was always on time and organized so we could make the best use of our time. We never felt rushed or hurried during showings and Mike pointed out so many important details that may have gone unnoticed to someone with less experience and wisdom. Mike helped us write a fair offer and made sure we understood all the conditions and worked SO VERY hard to negotiate the best possible price for the home, considering we were under a time deadline as well as a fairly limited budget.
Mike also referred us to an extremely knowledgeable and experienced and licensed home inspector and Mike worked with the information the inspector provided and made sure certain things were fixed and in good order so that we were confident that the home we were purchasing was safe and very sound as an investment.
There were no surprises at closing - everything was simple and smooth - all because of Mike's hard work, preparation and attention to detail.
We would and WILL use Mike again in the future and will refer all our family and friends to him. Mike goes above and beyond and serves his customers like he would serve his family. Mike truly loves what he does as a Realtor and it shows. You will be well cared for if you trust Mike for your next home purchase. Thank you, Mike!!! You are THE BEST!!!

My home sold within 4 days of being listed. Mike was amazing. I got a better price than even predicted. He is very professional, knowledgable and a very kind and wonderful realtor. I have used him before and had the same great experience. He is such a pleasure to work with. If I ever need a realtor again, he will be my first choice.

We thought we could find a great deal on a home in our price range all on our own, but did not realize how hard that can be. We narrowed our searches down to a few homes, then call the listing agent on one to setup an appointment. The listing agent happened to be Mike Puckett, so we meet him a this house we found and got to walk through. The best thing we liked about our first attempt was meeting Mike. He was easy going, was not pushy, and asked good question about where we where with our search. He offered to help us and parted with his business card. Boy are we glad we took him up on that offer. He listened to us and wanted to know what we where looking for in a home. Soon we had several to visit and walk through with him. Each home meet all of our criteria. Mike helped out with every step of the way from negotiating to closing and beyond,
I am grateful to of found Mike, working with him was a pleasure and I believe it will be the same for you too.
Response from Mike Puckett Realtor
"I had so much fun working with you. You knew what you wanted just needed help in finding it and negotiating price and repairs. It is fun when you can work together to find what you want. It was a real pleasure working for such a nice young couple. I know you are enjoying your new home based on our conversations. Hope all continues to go well and that your home brings you many years of happiness and good memories. Thank you for choosing me to help you."

"Well this has been a great experience. I met you almost a year ago and you took off and went south for the winter. While you were gone we got your house painted and picked out flooring. The part I liked best was that when I came over I also got coffee and a treat! You are such a wonderful couple and I wish you the best as you head south to live near your family. I am glad our hard work paid off because I loved the expression on your faces when your home sold in less than a day. You are so deserving."

Mike is listed under real estate lawyers in Angie's list. I called to ask what to do about our house being sold to us with a square footage listing significantly higher than a recent county appraiser's measurement. Mike told me I should have had an appraisal, which the mortgage company waived. He also gave me a few names of people who could help me get this problem resolved. Even though Mike was not our agent and had nothing to do with this transaction he took his time to listen to our problem, volunteered to look into the history of our home in the county records and gave advice on how to pursue a remedy. He was very helpful though he had no obligation to help us.
Response from Mike Puckett Realtor
"I was very happy to answer your real estate questions. Everyone deserves a little help now and then. I hope you are able to get some remedy from the problem you spoke to me about. Thank you for picking me to call and also telling me about the email problem. I wish you the best and consider me your friend."

Mike was very helpful in assisting us in deciding what we needed to do to get house ready to sell. My parents are in their 90's and the house showed it. He brought in a designer to tell us what needed to be up dated and what colors to paint. He also recommended a handyman,painters, flooring guys that enabled us to get the work done quickly. We were able to get the house sold quickly. He was always available when I needed his help.

It was fantastic! Mike showed us multiple homes, and coached us in the right direction any time we we might be headed towards a mistake. Ultimately Mike sat down with us on a national holiday, taking time away from his own family to help us close on our new home. We love our place, and wouldn't have gotten the deal we got without Mike! We highly recommend reaching out to him if you are in the market for a new home. He's a genuine, trustworthy, person in this ever changing world. Thank you Mike!

Once we told Mike about all our preferences, he immediately searched and sent  us many properties to review. After showings at three others, we drove by the community we ended up choosing on our way to another and  asked Mike if he could arrange a viewing. He set one up immediately and joined us on a tour of a spec home under construction which we fell in love with and "just knew" it was the one for us. His expertise and experience were invaluable in the process and he handled many of the details with the builder which we found overwhelming such as recommending a home inspection which brought to light a number of things we would never have seen. Mike is also handling the sale of our current home which is currently pending after being on the market only 5 days and is negotiating on our behalf to make sure our best interests are met. After 3 months of working with Mike as both buyer and seller, we consider him not only our real estate agent but a friend as well with whom we hope to maintain close contact with even after our business with him has concluded. He is always available for our millions of questions and concerns and never made us feel as if we were merely another client. We are confident that the closing on our home of 46 years will go smoothly at the end of this month with Super Mike at the helm and we will be living happily ever after and yard work free at our new condo.

Mike was very accommodating and arranged for me to see homes on very short notice. He showed me quite a few homes and was very encouraging that I would find the right home. I had never bought a home on my own and Mike offered a lot of assistance about the process. I truly appreciate his knowledge and positive attitude.

I worked with Mike and his assistant Kimberly for about 4 months to help purchase my first home. As a fist time home buyer they were really good about explaining the whole process and answer all my questions along the way. They stuck with me and continued to show house after house - probably ended up being 30-40 by the time we were done. I was very pleased with the honesty I received throughout the process. The market was very fast paced at the time I was looking and I went through 4 or 5 bidding wars which can be frustrating, but Mike and Kimberly kept me in good spirits. I even won one of the bidding wars, but the inspection on the house was awful and they helped me get out the of the contract all together with no hassle.  In the end, I found the perfect house for a great price and I cant wait to move in!
Response from Mike Puckett Realtor
"Thank you for the nice review. Both Kimberly and I enjoyed working with you. We are glad we were fulfill your expectations. I hope you enjoy your new home and remember I am still here for you if a question should come up concerning the sale of your home. Remember you do have a home warranty if needed."

"It was a bit of a surprise to see this review two years after I worked with this client. I strive to meet my client’s expectations each and every time I work with them. Sometimes in life, things do come up and it is unfortunate. I am sorry that I was unable to assist you in the expedited timeline that you were trying to work with, in terms of selling your home because of these issues. Anytime that one of my clients have an issue, it does help to have open and effective lines of communication. This was a case that this did not occur, and it does make meeting expectations difficult. I am glad that you found a way to sell your home that met your expectations."

Mr. Puckett was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He treated us very kindly, was always extremely punctual, and thorough in his knowledge of real estate. On a couple occasions, we would find a new listing and want to see it very quickly. Without fail, he rapidly made arrangements for us to see the house within 24 hours. At one point, when we became a bit discouraged because we had not found a house, we asked him to honestly let us know if we were being too critical/picky. While he could have taken this opportunity to encourage us not to be so critical in an effort to speed the process up and free up time and energy for other clients, instead he kindly suggested that we be patient and stick to our original criteria as the real estate market would soon be opening up and provide more choices for us. This proved to be outstanding advice from a well-seasoned professional.  Mike Puckett know his business and he performs it well!

[review from Patricia Dale] Mike is honest, dependable, trustworthy, and went above and beyond to make the process of finding and buying a new home so convenient and easy for me. I felt like he had my back and was looking out for my best interests as the buyer, and his recommendations and help was all sound. I will recommend him to anyone I know looking to buy or sell a home in this area!

We tasked Mike with a tough challenge.  We are expecting a new baby and needed a larger home.  So we needed to stage and sell our home, shop and buy a new one, and close on both in under 3 months.  Yes, we are poor planners, but that is why we hired Mike!  He was more than fair on his pricing and, most importantly, he got the job done.
Mike paid for a home staging consultation, which helped a ton.  He also had pictures taken for us.  He priced the house on the high end, and I questioned it.  However, it turned out to be a great strategy.  We left it at that price for 2 weeks, then dropped it a bit.  Once we did that, we had a ton of showings and got an offer in no time.  The offer was a little low, so Mike walked us through our options and used his negotiation expertise to advise us on a counter.  It worked perfectly and the buyer accepted.  We ended up getting almost 5% more than we expected.
Then came the inspection.  There were several items that we needed to address.  Mike quickly jumped to action and got some of his trusted contractors to give us quotes.  He successfully helped us navigate through a potential deal breaker.
The buying process was easier.  We liked the first house we looked at and I could tell Mike thought it was a good house for us, but he didn't pressure at all.  He took us to as many houses as we wanted to see, but we ended up offering on that first house.  We were pretty aggressive with the offer and they accepted.  The inspection came back with a lot of issue, including a new roof.  Given our circumstances, I thought we were going to have to sacrifice and eat some of these.  But Mike advised us to ask for what we wanted.  The seller agreed to everything we asked for.  
Overall, Mike was thorough, professional, and it felt like working with a friend.  We truly felt like his only client, when I know he has a full plate.

Mike was accurate in his market analysis of the property as well as his estimate for which the property would sell. He was also accurate in estimates for repairs that we elected to make. He provided excellent advice including on the negotiations and pricing as well as the most value added approach for property staging. He went way above and beyond on property management - we live in another state and he made sure the lawn was mowed, snow removal, etc. There were points in time when we thought we should lower the price - Mike provided good advice on the process and when it would be appropriate to do that. We ended up selling the property before executing a lower price. 
Mike was professional in every aspect of our interaction and we intend to use him on another future transaction we anticipate. We would give him an A+ rating!

Mike was always timely when communicating.  We would send him an e-mail and within the hour he would reply.  He was the first Realtor who responded to our initial "call-out" and set up a time to meet and give us a free estimate on our home.  He sat down with us for our first meeting completely prepared with research he'd done on home sales in our area.  He was able to talk specifics and numbers right away.  The numbers he presented at our first meeting, including how fast he could sell our home, were spot on and completely accurate in the end.  Our house sold in less than a month after being put on the market.  Mike was savvy about pricing and knew that our initial listing was a little high.  A small adjustment proved to be perfect as we immediately had more showings.  It was always very clear that Mike was and expert in his field.  We could not have been more pleased with the negotiations after the first offer and we ended up receiving asking price for our home.

Mike helped me with coordinating the sale of my house with the purchase of a new home.  We set the closing date so I would close on the sale in the morning and the purchase that afternoon.
The trouble started on the sell side after the inspection.  Let's just say the buyer was very demanding and leave it at that.  Mike was there with great advice and a positive attitude and thanks largely to his skill and experience I was able to come to an agreement with my buyer and keep the deal on track for closing.  Unfortunately, it didn't stay on track.  The buyer had some issues and as a result we had to move closing out a week.
At the same time, Mike was helping me move towards closing on the purchase of my new home.  The owner of that home was, shall we say, unresponsive.  They never responded to my inspection response asking them to address some issues.  No problem, since no answer means "yes" by default.  And most of the issues did in fact get resolved.  A leaky dishwasher wasn't repaired, but I was able to file a claim for that under the home warranty and the seller's agent reimbursed me for the deductible.  
The real fun (and by fun, I mean nightmare) began the week of the new closing date.  The seller, who was underwater, had a serious case of sticker shock when they realized what their settlement costs would be.  There was a point when no one, not me, not the sellers agent, not even Mike thought there was any chance that the purchase of my new home would go through. 
This is when Mike really went to work.  He fought tooth and nail burning up the phone lines to bring the deal back to life.  At the same time, closing of the sale of my house was finally on solid ground.  So solid, in fact, that my buyer refused to delay the date again.  Needless to say, the thought of selling my house without having a place to move was unnerving, but I went ahead with closing.  Mike's assistant, Kimberly, was a huge help in researching and checking out possible short term rental options over the weekend.
This is when Mike did something I don't think any other living agent would do.  He offered to refund his commission on the sale of my house if the purchase of my new home didn't go through.
Did I mention that this was happening six days before Christmas?  I did have possession for a week after closing, but arranging a move Christmas week without a destination is not something I would recommend.  This story does have a happy ending, though!  Three days before Christmas, Mike gave me the best gift of all.  He'd managed to get the seller to commit to go through with closing the next day.
Through it all, Mike proved to be a tough negotiator who never stopped fighting for me.  I doubt a less experienced agent could have held the purchase of my new home together.  His work ethic was amazing.  I don't know how many hours he spent working on this, but he earned that commission for sure!

"I know it was a long drawn out process but I am so happy we were able to get yours sold and find you a new home. You were a great client and I liked the fact that you never really pushed the panic button. So many things happen behind the between agents it is a big help knowing that I will have client support and you certainly supported me on my decisions on how to navigate through the process. I hope you enjoy your new home and wishing you the best for 2015"

Mike Puckett was a first class realtor from beginning to end. I've worked with other realtors in the past and I have to say that by merely the level of service alone,  Mike blew away my expectations.  As outstanding as his level of service was, he also demonstrated many other oustanding qualites that I think anyone would want in a realtor.
After my initital phone call, he came to our home and met with us. He took the time to get to know us and allowed us to get to know him also. During that initial meeting, I knew that my wife and I had found the right realtor. There was something about his personality that I immediately liked. I found that Mike had a great sense of humor and I knew that I would enjoy working with him to help find our home.
The next time we met, Mike promplty picked us up at our home and drove us around for most of the day as we looked at several homes in our price range. During this time, I was able to get to know Mike a little more and really had an enjoyable time looking at many different homes in the area. I was impressed at the way Mike timed everything out with the showings. Everything seemed to work out smoothly. Mike was patient, as we looked at all the homes. He pointed out things to look for and showed us some important features that we may have over looked.
After our initial day of viewing homes, we decided to take a second look at a couple of homes and Mike gladly showed us those homes again as we narrowed down our choices. We decided on a home and Mike guided us through the entire process. Mike advised us on many ocassions as we waded through a difficult home purchase. My wife and I relied on his expertise and sense of humor to get us through the difficult times. Even though the process was stressful at times, I knew that we were in great hands because Mike had a wealth of expertise and he was an expert negotiator. His communication skills were excellent from all aspects of our experience. He communicated in a timely manner with us and was readily available via email, text or by phone.
Mike was a pleasure to work with and we were able to close on our house in a timely manner. I would recommend Mike to anyone. He is a first class realtor and an even better person.
