Testimonials
To Whom It May Concern:
When I first became aware of Mike McGlade, he was among the hundreds of Realtors who had sent information, via the mail, offering their services. What set Mike apart from the others was his detailed analysis of the specific area I was concerned with and his professional/informative Website. Using advanced computer capabilities he had zeroed in on, approximately, one square mile of homes that had either sold or were listed in the vicinity of our house. This provided my wife and me with an immediate and unsolicited comparative evaluation of homes in the area and answered the big question of "Who could BEST sell our house".
We arranged for an introductory meeting on Monday, May 9 2008. During the meeting we went over our needs and concerns. Mike's responses and suggestions were invaluable and we were sold on the fact, he was the one who could do the job. After a thorough review of his presentation, we met again on Tuesday, June 3 and finalized the deal. By Friday, June 6, he had the For Sale sign up, complete with brochures, and had posted our house on his Website with detail pictures and video information. We received our first offer Saturday, June 7. By the following Monday, June 9, we had received a total of 4 offers, one being more than our asking price. We accepted an offer on Tuesday, June 10, after just four days on the market. The house was sold and cleared Escrow within 29 days.
During the time our house was going through Escrow, Mike was constantly in touch with us and available for any questions we had. It was during this time that we got to know Mike on a personal level. Not only was he totally committed to his clients but he was very dedicated to serving his community as an aspiring Volunteer Firefighter.
In summation, we were totally impressed with Mike’s talents, abilities and his Website. As a Retired Fire Chief from Sacramento, I salute the man on two fronts, first as a Realtor who went "above and beyond," and secondly, as a fellow firefighter.
Respectfully,
James and Brenda Aalgaard
"My husband and I are pleased to recommend Mike for all of your real estate needs. Mike was there for us every step of the way, answering our questions, supplying information, and helping us whenever or with whatever was necessary. Mike always gave us choices for how to proceed, instead of deciding for us. Mike is great with people and clearly loves his job, helping people buy and sell their homes. He works hard, and my husband and I never felt that we were a bother or that he was too busy for us especially when we had to call him multiple times a day. Mike is upbeat and lighthearted, but can be serious and informative when appropriate."

"Mike McGlade, Realtor, successfully sold my house in record time and at an unsolicited agreed upon price (I was thinking $365,000 unknown to Mike), and he suggested $365,000 also. This was part of the reason for selecting Mike to represent my home but not all. Another realtor priced the house the same and with a lower commission, but Mike gave me the confidence needed. He was sensitive to the needs of the house and gave suggestions for its presentation.
Mike sold a house in this area approximately 2 years ago. I was curious about the house, for I've had a good dialogue on the phone. So when the time came for my house, I contacted him.
It took 40 days from the time the sign went up to close of escrow.
Mike maintained his reserved, professional manner in spite of my high-stress expressions. He continued to re-assure me that everything was proceeding smoothly.
I would recommend Mike to anyone."

"Dear Mike,
We would like to thank you for your time and effort to assist us with the purchase of our two homes.
Our first home in Sacramento, a starter, was exactly what we asked you to find - the classic "needs TLC". After two years and some elbow grease, the home became a sanctuary. When we were ready to move up, you were able to assist us with getting a price beyond what we had dreamed for the area. We have always attributed your ability to match sellers/buyers to your attention to detail and true understanding of your clients.
Our current home was in the perfect location, and has since become the home of our dreams.
We will never be able to tell you how much we appreciate your attention to detail, understanding of our wishes and your undying professionalism. Of course, you are the only agent we have ever recommended to anyone looking to buy a home or rental property!
Best wishes for future success!"
- Jerry and Michelle Carlson
"Mike is an expert in market conditions and transactions; responsive and a strong negotiator. I have dealt with Mike in two other home sales several years ago, and sought him out for this sale. For any future real estate transactions, Mike McGlade would be my agent."

"Dear Michael,
As "For Sale by Owners" we had the pleasure of working with you in your capacity as a Realtor.
In the weeks of working with you, you provided suggestions on methods to market the house, how to create a flyer for the house, where to place the flyer, and how to disseminate the flyers to other agents in the area among many other helpful tips. I was able to contact you many times inquiring information in regards to the sale of the house.
In addition, you assembled a market analysis book for us. The information it contained was extremely valuable. It enabled us to appropriately price and market our house for a expeditious sale at the price you recommended.
Because of your extraordinary help, we were able to market and sell the house within the first week! We thank you for the significant amount of time and hours you spent to help us sell our house."
