On short notice, over the Xmas holidays, Mike showed us numerous homes in the large financial range we gave him to work with. We then left the country. Mike took care of everything and answered all our extensive questions on a timely (and within an 8 hr time difference) basis. We made our offer and were closed extremely quickly. We have even considered trying to get him to look elsewhere for us if the need arises.
Description of Work: Helped us purchase a 2nd home. Acted on our behalf when we returned to England.

We have purchased several homes over the years and never used the same agent twice. After dealing with Mike and Spokane Home Buyers, I would never go to anyone else. He was candid, knowledgeable and responsive. We first met with him and one of his colleagues and went over what we were looking for. He pulled up maps of neighborhoods and available properties and set up homes to view. He listened to what we had to say and appeared to be in no hurry for us to buy. He was perfectly satisfied to be patient and wait for the right house to come along. We looked at dozens of homes, but when the right house came on the market, we made an offer within 3 days of listing. Throughout the process, Mike responded immediately to our questions and requests, either by email or phone. If he was unavailable, he did not make us wait, one of his colleagues assisted instead. I have no complaints. I guess we didn't realize with our other Realtors what kind of service we should expect. Now, nothing less will do.
Description of Work: Mike Crowley acted as a buyers agent in our most recent home purchase. He helped us fine tune our search, scheduled viewings of the properties and provided us with all requested data. He also assisted with all of our needs through closing. He even provided a moving van!

Mike is the ONLY choice for buyer's agents in Spokane as far as my wife and I are concerned! We had the most helpful, professional service from him we could have hoped for in a real estate agent. We decided to move from Portland to Spokane based primarily on the housing market, so getting the right house was certainly very important to us. We did not make the easiest clients. We lived 350 miles away from were our agent was and we had very limited times we could come up to look for houses. Mike was always more than accommodating with our schedule. In addition because we could not come up much we had a long list when we could. He was very patient in showing us houses, sometimes knowing that they may not be exactly what we may want, but using them as a tool to help us learn areas and conditions. Then we made it more complicated by going to work on a private luxury train and traveling all over the United States for 6+ weeks at time. It was no problem for Mike though. He worked with us whether we were in Spokane or Cedar City, Utah. As if this wasn't enough he found us a house we absolutely fell in love with and was in the middle of helping us purchase it (all while we were in a different state every day!) and then our company went bankrupt and we lost our jobs and our loan. He still found a way to get the deal done, nothing short of a miracle. We are so thankful we found Mike. He has given our life in Spokane a start we did not think we were going to be able to have. If you want the best that there is Mike is ONE choice in Spokane. He will give it to you straight, even when you don't want to hear it, but you need to. He has a knowledge and influence base here in Spokane that I feel would be hard to beat. He is without question on your side when you are buying a house. Using him was a choice my wife and I know has changed our lives. Sounds extreme I know, but it is truly heartfelt to us.
Description of Work: Mike was our buyer's agent on the purchase of our house. We were moving to the area from Portland, Oregon.

Overall great! We searched for homes together for approximately 8 months. He knew what we were looking for in a home. The process of finding through closing was relaxed and very smooth. Mike as a joy to work with and communicated well, keeping us informed about every detail. He even loaned us their company truck which we used to help move our belongings.
Description of Work: Mike Crowley helped us purchase a home in Spokane. He researched and showed us homes in the areas we were looking. Mike knows the local market and history of the area which was very valuable. His professional opinions were valuable as we assessed potential homes. He even answered his cell phone while on vacation to answer several questions regarding an offer that was made.

The overall experience of buying a home was better than I had hoped for! I was referred to Mike Crowley and Spokane Home Buyers from a close friend. He had had a great experience, and had been referred to Mike from his family. Being someone who had never been a part of the home buying process, I took a first time home buyer's where Mike was one of the instructors. Mike's information helped me be prepared for all the steps that came along. Next, I arranged a meeting with Mike to discuss the options I had in the housing market. His office was both comfortable and professional. Mike and his team made it seem like I was their first priority client and they were available for anything I might need. Even though my budget was lower than the average client, I felt that Mike and his team worked just as hard, if not harder to find my dream home compared to their other clients. Mike worked around my schedule to show me potential houses. He took me to dozens of houses that were in my price range and had the features that I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised that not only Mike was creating a foundation to a great Realtor-Client relationship, but a friendship as well. His sincerity and professionalism was a vast contrast to what my preconceived notions had been about Realtors. It was easy to keep in touch with Spokane Home Buyers because I could contact them by phone or e-mail. It was great to be able to send a quick e-mail if I had a question and I would always get a prompt response. It also helped to be able to quickly receive and send documents. I really feel that being able to communicate over the phone and by e-mail was a huge advantage to keeping the processes running smoothly. Because Spokane Home Buyers is so great at what they do, it only took two weeks to find my first home. They helped me make my offer, keep me on track with all of the paperwork, kept me informed of the progress toward closing, and finally, Mike was there when I closed on the house and got my keys to my first house! Mike also made sure that he was available for any questions I had once I was in the house. I didn't have to worry about anything! When I worked with Spokane Home Buyers, I felt like I was a part of their team and family. I enjoyed working Mike and the professionals at Spokane Home Buyers and have told all of my friends and family about my great experience and hope that they will use Spokane Home Buyers in the future because it will be the smartest move they'll make when buying a home.
Description of Work: Mike Crowley of Spokane Home Buyers was my real estate agent on purchasing a new home for the first time. The services his company provided were holding a first time home buyer's class, searching listings for my specific needs, taking me on tours of possible homes, and helping me through the purchasing process.

It all started with my wife and I wanting to purchase our first home and Mike took us around and not only showed us houses but gave us advice that benefited us. He was very wise and even steered us away from bad purchases even though it would have benefited him more. We recommend him to everyone we know who is looking for a home and his services are second to none, I guarantee that!

Home buying can be daunting to say the least. Mike Crowley and Spokane Home Buyers made it EASY. From listening to exactly what we wanted, to following through on every question, to making sure we were represented at every step. We felt like we had someone on our side. And the free moving van was a GREAT perk in moving in the rest of our stuff. Great experience!
Description of Work: Mike covered EVERYTHING and made sure we were informed every step of the way. He was prompt, courteous, thorough, and most importantly....HONEST.
