How to deal with multiple offers, bully offers, and offer presentation dates.

“Being from out of town makes the process of finding a home in the Waterloo Region difficult. I did a Google search and found Mike Bolger’s website. We cross checked his reviews and recommendations on Facebook and decided to give him a call. I want to say that Mike is great to work with. He asked us detailed questions on where we wanted to live and the ideal home type and style. Mike worked hard sending us lots of listings and arranging showings on the weekend. He always made himself available for us when we had questions. He helped our family find our new home and we really appreciate it. Overall we were pleased with his insights and his strategy for making an offer. Janet, Jason, Kim and I want to thank you for everything.”

“Buying our first home was a daunting process, but I was lucky when I found Mike! From our first conversation, he was attentive and dedicated to finding us exactly what we were looking for. We had no idea what we wanted, but he was patient and provided us guidance when needed – he was never pushy and he always took the time to explain absolutely everything to us. Eventually when we narrowed down what we were looking for, Mike would send us the perfect options. We are a busy couple, but Mike always found time for a call, text, or email. When we were ready to put in our first offer, Mike made sure that we negotiated a fair price (under asking!) and stuck within our budget. He advocated for us and we ended up scoring the perfect house on our first try. Even when we moved in, Mike has been there to answer any questions or pop by to help us settle in. I would highly recommend Mike for your buying (or selling!) needs :)”

“I had the pleasure of utilizing Mike Bolger’s services this year for my home purchase. Throughout the process, he demonstrated transparency along with an impressive depth of knowledge in real estate, particularly within the Waterloo region. His guidance led me to discover a property that aligned perfectly with my requirements. I enthusiastically recommend his services for all real estate transactions.”

“I am a first time home buyer who was looking to buy a property in Waterloo. I met Mike Bolger at a charity event in Kitchener where I took his card. A month later, I decided to work with him to help me buy home. Mike met up with me quickly. At our meeting, he asked me many questions to help find out exactly what type of home that I was looking for. He was fast to send me detailed listing info on listings that were just listed and not published on realtor.ca. Mike continued to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about the Waterloo market. We got early showings which gave me the opportunity to find my house quickly and I was able to put in an offer first before anyone else did. His feedback/advice is precious and credible. I was very comfortable working with Mike. He is honest and an accommodating person to talk to. I would recommend anyone to him, especially those first time home buyers who are navigating the real estate market for the first time.”

“Mike is an amazing person, responds very fast and helps even when there is no profit for him, that goes to tell he is invested in people and not just in for the money. Thank you for your help and definitely looking forward to working with you in the future.”

“If you are looking for a great realtor in Waterloo give, Mike Bolger a call. I can say that he is a highly skilled and capable realtor. Mike is willing to help guide you into making wise real estate investments. He’s on the ball when it comes to finding you investment opportunities. What I like best is that he sends us daily listings and follows up to book viewings. I also like that Mike is friendly, outgoing and willing to go over and beyond. I highly recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a great realtor.”

“Excellent experience for first-time home buyers – and negotiated well under asking for us! My wife and I were new homeowners, and struggling to find a real estate agent who had the time, patience, and persistence to work with us. We were traveling from Toronto to do our weekly viewings, so packing in a lot of high-potential houses into one afternoon was very important. Mike explained the process well to us, worked hard to understand what our ‘perfect home’ looked and felt like (even when we hadn’t fully figured that out), and eventually found us several great options that fit our requirements. He was able to steer us away from the overpriced homes, and eventually negotiated a steep discount off the asking price of the house we purchased. If you want a person, assistant, and negotiator, as opposed to automated e-mails of recent listings, then give Mike a call. He’s motivated, smart, and patient.”

“One of the best realtors in Waterloo. Mike made buying our condo easy. He did all the work and found us the perfect condo.”

“Our buying and selling experience with Mike was textbook perfect. Mike is professional AND fun. We never once felt out of the loop because Mike is a natural communicator. Mike did is research of both us and the market so we didn’t view anything that wasn’t worth our time. We learned to become very confident of Mike’s knowledge of the buy and sell process so there were no surprises and no deadlines missed and when it came time to make an offer Mike honed in on the right number right away. There is a bonus dealing with Mike; he is well connected with trade-persons and suppliers so through Mike we were able to accomplish much after sale work faster while saving a bundle. We happily recommend Mike Bolger.”
