“Michael did a great job finding us a house. He was persistent and thorough in exploring our options with us and helped us winnow down the possibilities to those we really wanted to look at. He was especially effective during the negotiation and escrow phase, handling inspections, mortgage issues, etc. with meticulous attention to detail. When we seemed to hit a wall in post-inspection negotiations and were ready to let the house go he came up with a creative solution that saved the day and helped us close the deal. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.” 

- Ellen & Andrew K.

"We have worked with Michael both as seller and buyer - and we felt we had a remarkably helpful experience. His instincts are spot on - he is proactive in helping you think through the positioning of the sale from staging, to addressing potential red flags and more; and literally walks you through it all - to get the best possible outcome. On the buying front, he is patient and relentless in unearthing homes that are a great fit for the buyer - he really listens and "gets" what you are looking for and doesn't waste your time on homes that wouldn't work. If you are looking for a personalized, fun, relaxing home buying or selling experience - be sure to engage with Michael! You won't regret it."

“Michael provides the level of service and attention to detail that is rarely found in any profession. He made the experience of both buying and selling a house for us a seamless process by anticipating all of our requirements and taking care of everything without hesitation. He took any stress out of the equation. Michael is not only the best real estate agent we could ever work with, he is also a great friend.” 

- Mark K.

“I purchased my last two homes with Michael, both of which were great experiences. But it was selling my home with Michael that sealed the deal for me. Michael helped navigate some pretty complicated issues due to unforeseen problems with my home and did so in the most professional, expeditious and pleasant manner possible. I recommend Michael to all my friends who are considering purchasing or selling a home.”

“As newcomers to Los Angeles, we had the great good fortune to find and work with Michael Tunick. Not only were we new, but we also started our house search shortly before the premature arrival of our twins. Michael was a patient, sensitive, and expert guide, introducing us to a wide variety of neighborhood options as we got to know Los Angeles and refined our search. Over this extended search he never wavered and when we finally found our home, his professionalism, knowledge, and advice paid off in our negotiation and closing. Similarly, when an unexpected job opportunity took us back to the east coast, Michael came in and deftly handled our sale, moving our house quickly and with multiple offers while we were on the other side of the country. We cannot say enough good things about Michael. We trust him implicitly. Along our buying and selling journey he became more than an expert professional, he became a friend. We have referred friends to him in the past and will do so again at every opportunity.” 

- Edie D. & Charles G.

“For over ten years Michael Tunick has been my Realtor of choice for both buying and selling property in Los Angeles. His knowledge, expertise, guidance and dedication have proven invaluable, and I heartily recommend Michael to handle any of your real estate needs!”

“Michael was a tremendous asset in helping me navigate the complicated process of buying my first home. In addition to his hard work and laser focus, Michael’s best quality was his ability to explain EVERY aspect of the home buying experience. His expertise and patience allowed me to find my dream home and he remains a trusted adviser and friend. I would highly recommend him to anyone for any real estate matter.” 

- Eddie L.

Buyer & Seller

“I’ve known Michael Tunick for almost 10 years, and have had the great pleasure of working with him as both a buyer and a seller of my house in Hancock Park. When we first began looking he quickly learned and understood my needs better than I understood them myself. In short order, he sharpened the search to include only the properties suitable for my family and I. We explored new neighborhoods I had not considered, because he recognized my aesthetic and had the good sense and intuition to push me just a little outside what I thought was my comfort zone. When we found the perfect house, he advised me through every step of the process. He is an expert deal maker, negotiator, not to mention hand holder, and now, friend. He was never too busy to take my many telephone calls to discuss all details, big and small. When, just a couple of years later, I wanted to sell the house, he once again put everything in perfect order. His keen eye for the market put me at ease, and we got a significant profit on the sale of the house after owning it for only about 2 years. In my opinion, there is no one better or more astute than Michael Tunick.”

- Carol D.

Buyer

“As a first time homebuyer, Michael’s patience and guidance were invaluable. Not only did he find me my incredible home, but he also steered me away from another “perfect” house that would have been a complete disaster. It’s those kinds of instincts that make him an extraordinary agent.” 

- Norm B.

Seller & Landlord

“I have known and worked with Michael going on 10 years. He not only helped me with the high end rental of my condominium in the Hollywood Hills, he also handled the sale which came in $50,000.00 above asking price on the day of our 1st open house ! In addition to his incredible eye when it comes to staging, photographs, and graphic presentations of property his in person demeanor and professionalism adds a kind of urbane sophistication that is almost impossible to find in this age. Michael goes beyond selling; he is a wealth of advice and his referrals to any service people to help solve problems saves hours of research as well as providing excellent people to make one’s property look perfect for selling. In an industry where integrity is rare, Michael is at the top of the league and this quality makes him a top player. He always responds to calls, takes care of all details (even the ones you don’t think of) . He is honest, transparent, pulls no punches and never makes promises he cannot keep. Michael Tunick is a rare find and I cannot recommend him enough.” 

- Dr. Marie F.

Buyer & Seller

“Michael Tunick takes anxiety out of the buying and selling of a home. Within a period of 6 months, he helped me to sell one house and buy another, and in doing so he was always:
-Courteous in his dealings with me
-Honest in dealing with me
-Well prepared on both the sale and purchase in dealing with me
-Anticipated difficulties and defused problems in dealing with me;
-Sought a fair and reasonable price designed to close the deals smoothly and quickly
Michael was always willing to go the extra mile to help me. That is how he takes the anxiety out of buying and selling a home.”

“After 15 years in our Los Feliz home, you helped us make a desired lifestyle change to condo living in only 80 days. Not only did you sell our house in 9 days, over asking, with 9 offers, but you also immediately grasped what we were looking for in a condo, and found us the unique unit in the historic Shoreham complex that we love. Thanks from Priscilla & I for the uneventful escrows and on-time closings, & most of all, thanks for our new address and great experience!” 

- Richard & Priscilla L.

You are always prepared and exceptionally thorough with your comps. and relative paperwork. It is always an expedient and delightful process working with you on both buying and selling.” 

- Beth S.

Buyer

“Having worked with many Realtors in my time, I continue to be impressed with Michael’s ability to understand the need–even more than myself. He was able to show me a house I had no intention of even looking at, much less buying. He continues to follow up aggressively when something comes his way that might meet my needs.” 

- Kevin G.

“Michael’s guidance through the perilous purchasing process was invaluable. He handled the looking, bidding, and negotiations with grace, and was prepared with fine directions towards experts and advice when we needed it most.” 

- Dr. Frank & Caroline M.

“Being first time home buyers, my wife and I had many questions, and Michael never made us feel uncomfortable, or like we were asking too many. He kept us well informed, and made us feel like we were his priority at all times. He was quick to return our calls,and in the end when things got a little hairy with our lender, he worked even harder to make sure nothing would stand in the way of our getting that house. My wife and I would highly recommend Michael as your Realtor of choice.” 

- Randy & Amy S.

“I just wanted to thank you for doing such a thorough job in selling our condo in Los Feliz. All your hard work paid off – we got our price and a good buyer. You were so consistent with the open houses…every weekend, and the advertising was excellent too. I also appreciate how you kept us informed along the way. We felt like we always knew what was going on and that made it a comfortable experience. Thanks again and of course I will recommend you to anyone I meet who is looking for a Realtor.” Well done!

“Just a quick note to say thank you for selling our penthouse at The Highlands with such favorable results. We were very pleased to receive $21,000 over the asking price with multiple bids after barely two weeks on the market. In addition, you made the whole process relatively painless with your organization and attention to detail. you were always available by cell phone or e-mail to answer our sometimes not too important questions. The real bonus was that we actually enjoyed your company. We look forward to working with you again on our next real estate venture.”

- Charlie M.

“Thank you for the exceptional job you performed in selling my parent’s condo. From the punch list of what was needed to prepare the apartment, to the list of referrals for trash-haulers-cleaners-stagers, your services were comprehensive and professional. My brother and I also appreciate your patience, and your willingness to take the extra steps to oversee the pre-sale work, given that we both live out-of-town. Most importantly, we admire your savvy in marketing and selling the condo. The listing perfectly set the expectations of potential buyers, and we were pleased and amazed at the multiple offers and speed with which a final offer was made and accepted. Your expert approach brought us the highest price paid for a condo in the complex! I strongly recommend your services to other prospective sellers. They can rest assured that they are in the hands of a master.”

“Be assured, I will never forget August-September of 2006! It was an incredible Summer with ominous predictions in the realm of California Real Estate. Another element had crept in, whereas before optimism ruled. Michael Tunick came highly recommended, and with his unique, clear-eyed aspect, orchestrated a veritable symphony from the numerous possibilities of dissonance and discord. Every detail, every demand, was performed with forethought, knowledge, and an inimitable style that foretold success and satisfaction among all concerned.

He listened…he orchestrated…he did the work…he performed…well done, Maestro!”

“I would like to thank you for the level of professionalism you displayed during the sale of my condominium at The Highlands. I appreciated your understanding surrounding the sale as you were presented with a difficult set of circumstances surrounding the untimely death of my partner in an autombile accident. I understand that dealing with external lawyers, the time of the year, and the market conditions also presented additional challenges. I am very pleased with the final sale price and how you always went the extra mile. I do plan to re-enter the real estate market in the very near future and would appreciate your representation on behalf of myself as a buyer. In the meantime, I will continue to recommend you to anyone I encounter needing your services.”

“My experience working with Michael Tunick was a gift during the process of selling my home. His marketing skills are sharp, precise, and as shown through the sale of my property, beneficial to The Highlands’ complex (Editor’s note: Ms. Lane’s sale was the highest sale to date at the Highlands). His accountability to show up and follow through was impeccable. I highly recommend him and will be using him on my next sale. “

He’s wonderful— was very patient with us when we were first-time home buyers figuring out what we wanted/needed. Very professional, we loved working with him!"

Michael was an excellent agent who negotiated nicely and fairly on our behalf.

Micheal really delivered.  He has  strong relationships with people in the industry and works very hard.  We highly recommend Michael Tunick to buy or sell your home

- James & Jeff P.

Buyer

"We had a wonderful experience buying our very first home with Michael this summer.  Guiding first-time home buyers cannot be an easy process, but Michael was tirelessly patient with us throughout the several months that we worked with him.  He was responsive to all our questions, no matter the day  of the week, and no question was too small or silly.  Not only were his instincts on point during the buying process, he was also incredibly helpful and professional in guiding us through escrow and coordinating inspections.  He truly went above and beyond and we could not have landed in our beautiful first home without him! We're immeasurably grateful to have had his expertise in the jungle that is the LA real estate market. Until the next time!"

- Cynthia & Andy M.

Buyer

"Michael was extremely helpful last fall when we were looking for a home for my daughter. He is very knowledgeable about the local areas that were acceptable to us. We all put our heads together and we made it happen! She now has a great home in a lovely area thanks to Michaels help, especially  after the acceptance of our bid. 
Michael knew all the right inspectors to call and helped us understand the escrow proceedings. He was easy to communicate with, either by phone, text or email; he would immediately respond.
I would easily recommend Michael if you are looking to buy or sell your home."

"Michael is a great guy to work with. On my first purchase, Michael was extremely patient with me and made the process very painless. He connected me with a great group of vendors, including my mortgage broker, and educated me along the way so that I avoided all of the usual pitfalls of buying a home. I couldn’t have been happier with the experience." He has since helped me through 2 more purchases and leased one of them out for me. Patient, informed, and an all around pleasure to work with."

- Alec S.

Buyer & Seller

"Michael helped us buy and sell. His experience and service was amazing from start to finish. From the open house to marketing and professional photos, everything was executed very well. We sold our home within 1 week and over asking. The bring process is very stressful, but Michael made it easier  for us. He had all the right contacts for inspections, estimates, etc. We ended up in the neighborhood we wanted, a brand new home that had all of our wish list items (and I mean all of them!)  and paid the asking price. 10/10 across the board."
