"As this was my first time purchasing a home, I appreciate Mike Castle's expertise and the suggestions he made throughout the process. I felt that I could completely trust him to guide me in this transaction, and he did so in a professional but friendly manner. Mike Castle showed excellent rapport while dealing with the various parties involved, making what could be a very intimidating process quite painless. If you are looking for someone with old-school work ethic yet is pleasant to deal with, Mike Castle is your guy. "

Mike was really helpful throughout the whole process. Being a first time homebuyer I had a lot a questions on how everything worked and he would always take extra time to explain things to me so I could understand them better. He was always there to go show me a different home when ever was convenient to me, he just made the whole process go smoothly . I highly recommend working with Mike Castle in buying a home

Mike was very helpful and stayed with me through a few offers that fell through and also kept me up to date on the progress of the contract. He recommended a great home inspector and insurance agency..

Mike sold me my first home. He guided me every step of the way and made the already complex process of buying a foreclosed home much easier with excellent communication and always friendly demeanor. I really enjoyed working with Mike and his helpful, communicative and knowledgable skills, and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!

Mike Castle gets the job done. Just three days after he showed our ranch house at the end of a cul-de-sac, we had three offers and were able to complete a contingency sale. He priced it just right because the buyers competed and bid it up. Castle also helped us take out excess furniture to stage it and he lined up professional cleaners at short notice. He is energetic and professional. He also represented us buying our new home, and even had his personal contractor do repairs that the owner had overlooked! Highly recommended

Mike was prompt, thorough, responsive, and highly respectful. It was a pleasure having him navigate the homebuying process, and I would highly recommend him for anyone in the Santa Cruz market! As a first time homebuyer, it was great that he also helped set us up with other local businesses for inspections/fumigation and was able to suggest multiple choices for each additional category. After seeing horror stories on TV shows, I was expecting the worst in the homebuying process. Mike made absolutely sure that the process was smooth and complete. Thanks Mike!

My partner and I decided to sell a piece of commercial property we owned. In the process, we talked with several agents. Mike Castle was by far the best. He provided with accurate comps, and offered suggestions which ultimately resulted in the sale. We cannot say enough good things about Mike. He made the whole process painless, and ultimately, profitable. Thank you, Mike.

We used Mike Castle to help us buy a home in Ben Lomond. We happened to find Mike by chance and we are very glad we did. We found out after meeting Mike that he had 20 plus years of experience selling homes in the area which ended up being very beneficial to us. Mike knew all the people involved and made negotiations very simple and the process painless. Mike and his partner Barbara spent an enormous amount of time making sure we found the right house. Mike and Barbara always responded whenever we had questions and we never had any doubts that about things being handled correctly. We never had the pressure to buy anything, it was always our choice. Do your yourself a favor and call Mike and Barbara if you are looking to buy in the Santa Cruz or Santa Cruz mountain areas.

Mike really worked hard to get our home sold. From holding open houses and other showings to working with the buyer's agent, he was professional and responsive at all times. Plus he was always pleasant and friendly, and patient with our questions and requests. I would be happy to work with him again, and will call him the next time I'm buying or selling (he also helped us buy the new home).

I recommend Mike Castle highly. He recently sold four properties in a family estate, which included both residential and commercial rentals. He was energetic and resourceful in addressing successfully issues raised by buyers, renters, inspectors, appraisers, and mortgage funders. He worked far beyond what we expected to close one particularly difficult sale. We plan to use him again soon.

I initially spoke with Mr. Castle to inquire about one of his listings. He determined I would not be able to purchase nor would I want to purchase the listed property. He immediately knew what properties would suit my needs as a first time buyer with little down and low payments. Within a week, I was under contract to purchase. To no fault my own or Mr. Castle, the purchase agreement could not be fulfilled. Even as I was discouraged, Mr. Castle was not. He remained diligent to find me a home. We found a home, which I love, and submitted a bid. Mr Castle instinctively knew the property would be a hot commodity and took the initiative to ask the financiers for a maximum approval letter. After a call for highest and best by the seller, we resubmitted using the new letter of approval and clinched the winning bid. After entering into contract and receiving inspection reports, Mr Castle pushed for a reduction in price and, after a bit of haggling, was able to substantially reduce the purchase price. I was able to close escrow in a timely manner while paying maybe one quarter of average closing costs. Mr. Castle has definitely earned my gratitude, my trust, and my recommendation to others for his diligence, his knowledge, and his overall ability to perform as an agent.

I have known Mike Castle for many years, both personally and professionally. As a Real Estate agent, he models the highest standard of integrity and service. He also provided many creative marketing suggestions to reach the largest number of buyers for my property. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a Real Estate professional who can close a deal even in challenging market conditions
