He was prompt with answering any questions, listened to our concerns, patient, and was very professional from start to finish. Michael sold and helped us find another home to purchase.

Matt E

"Michael did a great job with the sale of my house.

I was very pleased that he was able to find a motivated buyer within a very short time and negotiate a price that exceeded my expectations. The buyer was prompt and reasonable, and everything went through without any hitch on my end. I am not sure if he may have emailed a Real Lifestyle Planning Guide or offered it, but it would not have been something useful to me because of my situation so I don't view that as any kind of oversight on his part."

David C

"Michael Messina is as professional as you can get from your Real Living Real Estate Agent.

He was knowledgeable, always available and took the lead on moving forward with the sale of our home. He was an excellent source of information for the buyer as well, regarding options to make this closing go as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend Mike Messina from Real Living Real Estate to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home."

Mike sent us matching listings several times per week. He responded to phone calls and texts immediately. Mike addressed all of our concerns in a timely & accurate manner. He arrived at the properties on time. Mike worked with the seller’s agent to gather complete & documented information regarding the property. After the closing, Mike offered to be a resource for us regarding local tradesmen, etc. We highly recommend Mike. He made the process easier for us. It was a pleasure to work with Mike."

"Michael was especially helpful during our home search! We had to do all of our house searching virtually. He was so accommodating and always went above and beyond to answer our questions and make sure we felt comfortable buying a home from afar.

"Michael was great to work with. Very friendly and responsive. This was my first home buying experience and he answered all my questions and concerns and put my mind at ease! Very great experience. I would recommend him to anyone! My husband owned our home we were living in together before we were married and he gave us all the right tips and tricks to help us sell and quickly! Great experience all around!"

"We were referred to Mike Messina because we live on the Iron Range but were looking for income property in Duluth (1.5 hrs away). Mike was contacted, and immediately we were in communication. Everything happened so fast. Mike was always available to show us any property we had an interest in. I got emails and/or text msgs when something new came on the market or a reduction in price. Mike was so patient with me and my hundreds of questions re properties and becoming 1st time Landlords. This was a huge step for us, and made us nervous. But Mike was there guiding us all the way through until we closed on the property and we were handed the keys. His communication and response time, whether text, email or phone call was admirable. He was always available. And for me, the communication was the most important. I’m so thankful that we were referred to Mike Messina, and will call him again when the opportunity arises."

"I was referred to Mike from a coworker and he knocked it out of the park in helping us find a house in Hermantown! We relocated from the Twin Cities for work and relied on him for his local knowledge regarding best neighborhoods to live based on our desire to start a family, and our love for the outdoors. Mike grew up in Duluth and has extensive experience selling houses in the Twin Ports region. He is clearly respected by the other Real Estate agents in town and when it came time to negotiate, that experience and respect from his peers made it very easy for us. Mike was an excellent communicator throughout the process and would even respond within minutes on weekends (I felt bad bothering him, but he said he was happy to do it). We will definitely use Mike if we buy or sell property in the future."

"Michael is quite the professional when it comes to real estate. He helped my brother and I buy a home together back in 2020 and now just helped my fiancé and I buy our first home together. Communicates efficiently and effectively, knows the ins and outs of the home buying process and never makes you feel pressured to make a decision you aren’t comfortable making. 10/10 from Michael! Thank you, Michael."

"Mike being our agent for buying and selling for the first time took something that is usually immensely stressful and turned it into something quite fun at times. He is the standard for good communication. He looks out for your best interest, not his checkbook's best interest. He sees you as a person and isn't afraid to make more work for himself to help you. If you're trying to decide what realtor to go with: Stop, Mike is your guy."
