Mike Rath,ERA Rath, REALTORS®

Top notch service, very knowledgeable and helpful!

My previous home was only on the market for about a week & a buyer was secured for near asking price. Mike helped me negotiate the purchase price of our current home to a fair amount for both parties. We have been living there for over five years now & have since remodeled giving us a home we intend to stay in for many more years to come & we could not be more thankful for Mike's role in helping us get to be where we are at currently. I highly recommend Mike to family & friends for all real estate needs.

Excellent , I would definitely use again.

Perfect, Mike is a true professional.

It was an incredibly fun and enjoyable experience. Being a first time home buyer can be a scary process so having Mike Rath's time, skill, care and seasoned knowledge and experience made the process easy and enjoyable. He took the time to set up viewing that met my wife and I's busy schedule and gave solid input and wisdom about questions we had while looking at a particular property. Mike was gifted at keeping our expectations reasonable and is truly one of the best professionals I have had the privilege to work with. I highly recommend Mike Rath and his team for all your realty needs. If and when I go to buy another property or sell my current one, Mike Rath and his team would be my only choice for Realtors!

Mike was instrumental in making our transactions as smooth as possible. He gave us sound advice on when to list the property, and how to price it right so it works for us and fits the current market. Same goes for buying another property which was facilitated by Mike. We highly recommend Mike and his agency, and we will certainly work with him on our future transactions.

Over the past 25 years, Mike Rath and ERA Rath has helped in the sale of four homes as well as purchase of 4 homes in Rocky River. We have always felt that Mike has been responsive and always had our best interest at heart. We have referred friends and other family members to ERA Rath and they have always had the same experience.

The entire process was quick and went without a hitch with Mike's help.

This team is head and shoulders above the rest.

As I mentioned above, it went very well.

I can't say enough good things about Mike and his office at ERA. It was only because of his knowledge and longstanding ties to the area that I found my dream house in exactly the location I was hoping for (before it even came on the market). The home I sold was a unique property and difficult to sell, but Mike had great advice and marketing, and stuck with us until we got the deal done. He's a true gentleman (in an industry where that is not the norm). His great reputation is well earned, He's honest, caring, and a great guy to work with.

It was a pleasure to meet with Mike Rath. He was confident but not pushy. He was thorough but not overbearing. He made us feel that the home sale would be a priority with ERA Rath. Do allow plenty of time for your appointment as Mike Rath does not rush through the job. I was very pleased with our meeting and with Mike's competence.

The process of buying a house, especially for the first time, was a daunting task. My wife and I were definitely on prepared for the entire process, but Mike and Xavier were able to walk us through it step-by-step. There was no question that they weren't able to answer and they were always willing to meet with us, including on the evening of New Year's Eve, and always had an immediate response to your emails and phone calls. When it came time to negotiate with the seller and work with the bank Mike not only had a banker ready to work with us, but helped us through each step of the negotiation on the house. I 100% recommend Mike Rath and ERA realtors!

On buying my new home, I wanted to take possession quickly which meant the seller would not have time to address the items identified by the home inspection. Mike not only negotiated a fair price of the repairs to be paid by the seller but recommended quality contractors to do the work. I also wanted all the rooms painted within a week and Mike recommended professional painters that accomplished the painting. I am very happy in my new home. I have never sold a home and Mike guided me through the process. The listing online included several professional pictures of my condo as well as the clubhouse and swimming pool. We had several people look at the home and an offer came quickly represented by another realtor. Unfortunately, the financing fell through and Mike put it back on the market immediately. This produced two offers. One was financed and one was a very low cash offer. Mike went above and beyond as much as he could investigating so that we wouldn't have the financing problem again. He also let the cash offer know it was too low. My home sold in 2 1/2 months and I would recommend Mike Rath Realtors.

The entire process lasted around 30 days which tells me the property was listed in the correct price range. All of the advice given by the broker proved to be very beneficial. .

Mike Rath and Rath Realty did an outstanding job for me and our family in helping us to sell our mom's home. He was always available and went above and beyond to help in this process. I would highly recommend Mike and Rath Realty.

On time, professional and reasonable. He recommended people to get the job done right the first time.

We were looking for a starter home in Lakewood with our daughter. Not being from this area of Cleveland, we wanted to find a good local agent. We chose Mike Rath after talking on the phone and getting a good rundown on his experience. I don't think they are the biggest agency in town, but it was obvious he had spent many years living and working in the community. The detailed information provided about specific streets and neighborhoods in town was very impressive and very helpful. Our daughter wasn't able to afford to make the move to being a homeowner just yet, but the services provided by Mike leave us knowing we are in the right place when the time arrives to make that move.

Mike has been in the real estate business for over 40 years. He sold me my first house in 1977. Just last August, he listed that same house for me. Within one day after the open house, I had two cash offers on the home. The listing, paperwork, inspections, negotiations with the new buyer were all done quickly and professionally --- and I truly believe they contributed to the quick sale of the house. Within 3 weeks, the sale was completed.

We like Mike because we trust and weigh is experience heavily. When we are buying, Mike can size up a property better than anyone I've ever seen. Nobody knows all of the unseen problems of a house, but, we trust Mike's instincts and defer to him if he feels the property, or the contract, is not right for us. We've walked away from some situations, only to find better properties to invest in. That's a big net plus getting better value out of our dollar. He's also helped us find good contractors in different areas of the state. Working with Mike is a big advantage to us. When we are selling, Mike equally knows the market, pricing, neighborhood trends, comps, and really sells the advantages and benefits our property.

Jeff aided me in the purchase of my home. Throughout the process he was very helpful. He was always available to answer any questions I had. Since he is a full time realtor, he had a keen understanding of not only the buying process, but the listing process. I highly recommend Jeff for buying or selling a house. He is very honest, knowledgable and confident in negotiations.

Rath Realtors, specifically Joe Rath, recently helped my wife and I put our home up for sale in Cleveland Heights. They were very professional and took added time to help stage our home and take high quality photos and a video (something I don't think most realtors do). Within 48 hours of listing the property, it was sold. I would highly recommend Rath Realtors to anyone trying to sell their home. They made the process east which, when selling a home, is not an easy task.

The purchase of the new house and the sale of my fathers house went outstanding. I couldnt have asked for it to go any smoother.

Joe did a phenomenal job of representing my during the purchase of my home. He demonstrated the qualities that every buyer or seller should look for in a realtor: knowledgeable, trustworthy, responsive, and professional.
