“We had a great experience with Michael as he guided us on the search and purchase of our San Juan Island home. He knows the Island market, people, and processes extremely well – which was essential for us trying to pick the right spot on the Island from Colorado. Michael is a responsive and pragmatic agent that comes with my highest recommendation.”

“I am pleased to acknowledge the superior service provided by Michael Linehan. Michael recently orchestrated the purchase of my new home on San Juan Island and it was a beautiful thing! Michael seems to know everything about the San Juan Islands. He knew all of the people that were involved or that could be helpful in the transaction. He doesn’t just know them, they like him and enjoy working with him and this makes things a lot easier.

Michael is unfailingly professional: competent, knowledgeable, and energetic. He is ethical and works hard for his client. He does what he says he will do, always returns calls and is a wizard with email. (I mostly purchased my home by email—easily!) He is aware of the sensitivities and subtleties of life and business on the Island. I should also point out that Michael is a very nice guy. I have been involved in numerous real estate transactions and this one was almost fun. Please feel free to contact me if I can provide any additional information. Thanks Michael!”

“Michael sold our property which is what we expected when we listed with him. He delivered. Michael is focused on results, but also has a sense of humor and wit, the ability to work smoothly with all personality types, good judgment and an ever present moral compass. Obviously, we recommend that you should have Michael become your Realtor also.”
– Ken & Michael Ann Clarke, Frost Island

“Michael lead us through the process of buying a house and selling our condo. What we appreciated most was that he gave us good advice, he was responsive and thourgh, he kept us informed of the available real estate, he did a good job of marketing and he exhibited follow-through to the end.”
– Mary Miller and Barbara Roark

“Throughout the home buying experience – searching, negotiating, inspecting, financing and closing – Michael was there for me every step of the way. Not only was he available at all hours for anything related to the process, he insisted on being a part of everything. And when challenges presented themselves (as they inevitably do) I was glad to find that he had already taken the initiative to prevent those bumps from blocking progress. Michael’s ever present focus, upbeat attitude and humor made me feel confident I would see the results I wanted.”
– Sam Jacobson

“Michael, you have been wonderful. I cannot thank you enough for all the effort you put into selling our property. Thank you, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you!”
-Mary Hobel

“We were grateful for you expertise and attention to detail during the marketing and sale of our home. You were always available and offered us even more help than we thought to ask for as you watched over every step of the process. Thank you very much”
– Pat and Roy Azarnoff

“Michael’s tireless searching and attention to the details of our needs and desires resulted in us finding and getting a home better than what we had actually hoped for. His advice was tailored to what we were looking for and we felt like he was looking for a home for us to buy, not a home for him to sell.”” One of the most important things Michael did for us was tell us which homes NOT to buy and give us good solid reasoning why there was a better home in our future. We give him a solid two thumbs up!”
– Art Phillips

“More than any agent we’ve worked with in the past, Michael had a true sense of what my wife and I were looking for. We didn’t waste time seeing properties that weren’t right for us. When he did find our perfect house, it was literally hours after it came on the market. There was no hesitation – we made the first offer and got the house! We’d use Michael again for all of our Real Estate needs.”
