I'd been trying to purchase a house for 10 years, and had been continually disappointed.
When I met Michael at an open house, I had a feeling he was ultimately who would help me find my dream home-- and he was! We created a plan that 6 months later was executed, and now I'm right where I want to be. Thanks Michael!

I can’t speak highly enough of Michael Garner of Douglas Elliman. He sold my house in Lake San Marcus is just a few days and $100,000 over asking. In addition, my house broke the record of price per square foot in Lake San Marcus. He is honest, professional, knowledgeable and a hard worker. What he says he is going to do he does and in a timely manner. He has a very calming manner which makes the process less stressful. He is the sweetest too. If you are thinking of using Michael you will not be disappointed.

We are happy return customers! Michael did a fantastic job when we bought our first house that we wanted to work with him again. We just closed on our new home in a very competitive market. Michael was there every step of the way from joining us at open houses, setting up showings, negotiating, attending the inspection, and seeing us through the closing process. I appreciate his incredible communication, professionalism, and industry knowledge. I'd highly recommend working with Michael.

I have now had the pleasure of working with Michael Garner to purchase two properties: one in Carlsbad and one in Oceanside.

In a competitive market like today's, you need an agent that is knowledgeable, responsive, persistent, and willing to go the extra mile for the client. Michael checks all these boxes in addition to being a joy to work with.

Look no further, you're in good hands with Michael.

If I could give Michael more stars I would. Michael helped my husband and I purchase a home in Encinitas all while we were in Denver! I met Michael at an open house in October while we were in the area for a long weekend. We were wanting to start our home search soon, so I thought I would check out a few open houses in the area. After exchanging numbers, Michael kept in touch, sending us homes to look at and really doing a great job honing in on what and where we were looking. Having grew up in the area, I had a pretty good idea of where we wanted to look and Michael was very attentive to our wishes. He went to open houses, would look at every house we were interested in, providing video and pictures of homes. We were over bid a couple times on a two different houses and when we were becoming discouraged Michael with right there with a positive attitude. We finally place a bid on a home that was listed as "coming soon". Michael was negotiated getting into the home before with the sellor's realtor and we were able to successfully negotiate a quick sale. The whole process went absolutely seamlessly. I can not recommend Michael strongly enough. He was knowledgeable, professional at all times and just a joy to work with.

Michael was excellent to work with while we bought our first home. He put up with all of our questions and requests with kindness and professionalism. He gave great advice and he was fun and resourceful to be around while touring homes. He continues to be a great resource for home service referrals and giving us exciting market updates when a similar house sells in our neighborhood. Highly recommend!

My wife and I worked with Michael in search of a new home. He is honest and easy to work with. He was very aware of our wants in the new home. He showed us many homes that fit our requests. He is flexible with times and schedules. He never applied any pressure, he showed us what he found and after looking at properties, we would discuss likes and dislikes. In an ever evolving process, he would always find properties meeting our desires. If you are in need of an agent, I would highly recommend working with Michael.

Buying a home in Southern California is a luxury many people won't experience. With the help of Michael, the entire process was executed seamlessly and we were always taken care of. Without his guidance and expertise I truly do not think we'd be living in our current house.

We will continue to recommend Michael to our friends.

Michael was responsive, easy to work with and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Buying a home in 2021 was not exactly an easy task and Michael was great at preparing us for the intricacies of the market and positioning us so that we had the best chance to get the house we wanted.

His hustle and competence made him the obvious choice when it came to selling our previous house a month later. Him and his assistant Julia were on it and were able to get our house listed quickly. We had a great offer within a week with minimal hassle. We'd highly recommend Michael and his team.

Michael Garner is the best real estate agent in Carlsbad and North County. I've worked with Michael on transactions and not only is he a pleasure to work with, but his knowledge of real estate is second to none.

If you are looking for the best realtor in Carlsbad, i would strongly suggest you give Michael a call. I have been able to work with michael not only as a client, but also as a business partner. Michael helped me sell my home flawlessly (and got us an extremely high value that we didn't think was possible by going above and beyond and recommending a few minor adjustments to the home to have it show better) and help me with purchasing a dream home for my parents. His knowledge of the industry is unmatched and he has an extremely calm and productive approach to the buying and selling process. I have recommended multiple friends and family of mine to Michael because he truly does do an amazing job and takes pride in what he does. It is very refreshing to see a real estate agent that truly understands the game and can add a high level of value in all transactions he is a part of. I would highly recommend you use michael garner as he truly is the best agent in Carlsbad, if not San Diego.

Michael helped my wife with our search for coastal homes in the San Diego area. Since we aren't local to SD , it was immensely helpful to have someone so knowledgeable on different sub-neighborhoods (and who quick to have a POV on whether a given home was priced well, identify tradeoffs, etc.) . Would definitely recommend Michael without reservation !

My wife and I worked with Michael to purchase our first home during one of the craziest housing markets San Diego has seen. Michael was incredibly trustworthy, knowledgeable and hard working throughout the entire process. We truly believe he is the best realtor we could have worked with and his local knowledge of each neighborhood greatly helped our home search! He developed strong bonds with the seller's agents which helped get us additional counteroffers/responses that we wouldn't have received without his efforts. It wasn't long before one of our offers was accepted and Michael helped walk us through the closing process with ease. At the end of everything we ended up landing a house under the asking price which is unheard of in this market!

We highly recommend Michael and the entire Douglas Elliman team. We will definitely partner with Michael again when we are ready to sell!

I have known Michael for a little over 10 years now. I am here to tell you that no one in this industry of real estate cares more about you and your family than he does. There are agents that get into this for the “ease” of a buck and you know what, they fail at times and some succeed. THEN there are the agents that get into the industry because they found a passion and truly and wholeheartedly want to help people reach goals.

A Doctor will keep you alive, a Nurse even better, a Firefighter will rescue you and an Officer will keep you safe. Michael is a Super Agent and there not many like him. He works tirelessly to ensure that you don’t meet your goal but rather surpass it. I have personally bought 3 homes and sold 2 under Michael’s tireless eye and careful watch. I hold zero stake in this review, this is just a man expressing to the reader, hopefully you, that you cannot go wrong with Michael Garner. He and his team are phenomenal at what they do and are truly, unequivocally, amazing.

Do yourself a favor and at least eliminate one part of the headache that is home selling or purchasing. Michael takes what he can control and absorbs it, leaving you feeling confident, free, and without stress. He’ll get you what you want, what you need, and what your family deserves.

I recommend working with Michael in finding your home for a seamless process from start to finish. Michael didn't waste our time with an over-the-top sales pitch and took time and effort to understand what type of home we were looking for. He also didn't spam us with random home listings, which made our home purchasing experience feel customized. Michael's network of real estate professionals were also extremely helpful and professional (lender, home inspector). It took away a lot of the stress and headache knowing that we could count on Michael's network to get the job done in the most efficient manner

My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and will continue to refer him to friends interested in buying or selling a home. PCSing to San Diego meant we were unfamiliar with what areas would work best for our family’s needs. We ended up buying in a city that we hadn’t considered before Michael introduced the idea to us- and we feel so incredibly lucky to have found just what we were looking for in a community and in a home. Michael was so patient with me and my two and one year old I brought on our search, while my husband remained in Hawaii coordinating our move. It was evident he genuinely cared about our family. He greeted my boys with a kind smile and interacted with them every time they came along. I know little more than the local school’s ratings and if I like a home’s layout so I was very grateful to have Michael with us as he had a more complete understanding of what the houses lacked and how much work they would require. Michael’s attentiveness, patience, and responsiveness made me feel as though we were his only clients. But with just how excellent he was, there was no way we could have been! Although we hadn’t even listed our Hawaii house when we reached out to Michael, he was completely accessible. He answered more questions than I could count, met us for more showings than I can remember, and maintained communication with our Hawaii realtor, even offering us relevant advice that helped with that sale. Michael offered encouragement and positivity when our first offer had been rejected. Our second offer, on a fixer upper that was listed well below the average value of homes in the neighborhood, was accepted. My husband and I were prepared to take the home as is, but Michael was confident in his abilities- and rightfully so. He far surpassed our expectations and was able to get us a large credit to put towards repairs. That was a credit that we potentially could not have gotten! He fought for us even when we didn’t know there was anything to fight for. Michael’s ability to navigate and communicate with sellers, agents, inspectors and every other individual involved in this process seems to come so naturally and is incomparable to any other realtors I have personally worked with. I would work with Michael with every home buying experience if I could and I cannot think of a more competent individual to help someone with purchasing a home. There is not a single quality that could make him a more qualified realtor.

I highly recommend working with Michael Garner! After months of searching for a strong & responsive realtor in this competitive market, we found him by chance in North County San Diego. When we decided to move to Temecula instead, Michael quickly sprang to action, got us into see our dream home (no messing around with choice B or C) before any other buyers, and helped us put in an offer guaranteed to win on our first shot! We are so lucky to have found Michael!

Michael was great to work with through a very competitive (and intimidating) real estate environment. He was knowledgable, friendly, reliable, and put our needs first. Michael provided solid guidance for placing offers and kept us informed at each step. He never put pressure on us one way or the other, and always ensured we felt good about our decision (even when we changed our minds). Michael was actually a referral to us from two (separate) friends of ours. After purchasing our first home with his help, we're happy to say we'd recommend him as well!

Michael was awesome to work with! He helped us find a new house (in Ocean Beach/Point Loma area) and sell our condo over a 6 month period in 2019. He was responsive and available whenever a new property came on the market and his knowledge of the current market values was extremely helpful. He always sought out additional info from the listing agents and it definitely helped us secure our new home because he made the effort to build that professional relationship. He offered suggestions for the listing price of our condo, but we never felt pressured and knew the price was our decision to make. He was easy going and extremely professional. Just great!!!

Michael is hands down the most knowledgable Realtor in the San Marcos and North County area. We were able to sell our home for over 25,000 more than we were expecting, and even found the buyer for us. Michael prepped our home and made sure it was open house ready. Michael always answered all our questions and made sure we were never in the dark during the entire process. We sold our home as the highest sold price in the neighborhood and got us multiple offers. Michael has earned our trust and anyone that gets the pleasure to work with him will not be disappointed. We sold our home during COVID, and Michael always made sure to take extra pre-caution to take care of our family. Highly recommend!!!!

My fiancé and I met Michael at one of his open houses. We already had a realtor in mind, however Michaels no pressure but confident approach left us with a positive feeling about him. Especially my partner who thought he was great and really wanted to work with Michael to buy our home.

I’ve bought and sold a number of properties in the UK and US and worked with a lot of real estate agents, Michael is up there with the best. He’s professional, honest, reliable, an excellent communicator, patient, and calm, which is very important during the stressful time of buying or selling a property.

Michael is very responsive and an effective negotiator. He helped us throughout the process, carefully answering any questions we had.

He has a strong support network too and recommended an amazing loan agent whom he worked very well with, together moving our purchase forward.

If this is your first time buying a home, or you’ve bought many homes, I highly recommend Micheal. You will not be disappointed, he is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Michael was outstanding in our home search. From the get-go, he had our trust in knowing exactly what we were looking for. What I really appreciated was that he took more than 2 hours to sit down with me for an initial meeting to go over the home buying process, review marketing data, and align on our negotiation strategy. That's when I knew he would be the right agent for us and that meeting paid major dividends down the line. Michael has a great strategy for buyers to get their offers accepted in this competitive market, and I was impressed by how much he was able to gather through an exhaustive due diligence process. He was highly communicative with us and the seller's agent to ensure that the deal would work out, and made sure to get what we needed in order to buy our first home. I'm very happy with how everything turned out and couldn't recommend Michael enough for anyone looking in San Diego.

Michael has been the most attentive and responsive agent I've ever worked with. He truly looked for every opportunity to put my best interests first and presented options, ideas and advice that ended up saving me in time, stress and money, repeatedly.

Couldn’t be more pleased. Even as a first time home buyer, the entire process was smooth and stress free. At the time I was not able to be in town so I purchased the home virtually. He took it upon himself to not only do a video walkthrough of the property but also the neighborhood as well. Michael also isn’t afraid to negotiate price’s. There was a slight issue with the appraisal at one point and he made sure it all got work out. Throughout escrow, he maintained great communication and walked me through step by step. He made virtual buying as easy as possible. I will be going through him again in the future and I highly recommend Michael Garner for a stress free home buying experience

He was extremely patient, compassionate and understanding of my situation. After a few failed offers, he found the perfect property.

Michael is truly the best realtor there is! My wife and I worked with him as first time home buyers and we will certainly be his lifelong clients. When we initially met with Michael, he took time to educate us on what the home buying process would look like from start to finish, answering our questions in detail and making sure we understood at every step of the way. It was such a perfect introduction to the quality of service he provides to his clients and what anyone can expect when working with him.

While we were in escrow Michael was always available for questions and went out of his way to make sure we had all the information we needed to make informed decisions. We trusted him completely throughout the entire process and we were so glad to have him in our corner (especially in this competitive market!).

If you’re searching for a home (or selling one), you need to work with Michael. There is no one who will work harder for you or be more knowledgable about the process. From the very beginning, he made us feel at ease and we had complete confidence and trust in him. In addition to working tirelessly for his clients, Michael has a unique ability to understand what you’re looking for in a home and find it. My husband and I were first time homebuyers shopping during a super competitive real estate market, and we could not possibly have found our home without Michael’s dedication to making our dream home a reality for us.

His guidance made it possible for my husband and I to relax and enjoy the process, and his expertise was instrumental in getting us into our dream home. We are so glad to have worked with Michael and we highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!

Michael’s work exceeded all of my expectations in the home selling process. The sale of our property fell thru on multiple occasions and we had become discouraged and frustrated with the process. Michael remained upbeat and positive and inspired us to continue trying. Eventually we were able to close on our property and we received the record price within our community. By asking lots of questions that helped him understand our needs, Michael also helped us find a beautiful home in the exact neighborhood that we were looking to buy in. Not only is Michael an outstanding real estate agent but he also helped us find a great home loan and a contractor to help us with some remodeling. Michael is not just a typical agent, he is caring, reliable and very knowledgeable. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking to sell their home.

We absolutely loved working with Michael! He is such an amazing agent and we couldn't have gotten our home with out him. He was so helpful in every step of the process and even was so kind to answer all of my obnoxious and crazy questions. haha

He showed us so many homes with short notice as needed to ensure we were some of the first people to see the homes we were interested in as well. He also sent numerous listings our way as they got posted that fit our style and price point.

When there weren't a lot of homes on the market, Michael even got creative and sent out letters to neighborhoods that we really loved.

Through out the whole process he gave us sound advice and really had our back when buying our first home. We are so thankful for him and his team! (Pat who works with Michael is also so amazing, responsive, and patient).

We will be recommending him to all of our friends and family who are looking to purchase a home. Thank you so much Michael!

Michael Garner might just be the HOTTEST AGENT AT LAKE SAN MARCOS! We'd lived in our home (that we loved) for nearly 20 years but we knew we needed a different style of home to meet our living and family needs. Michael diligently worked with us for more than a year; finding the perfect home that met absolutely every one of our needs and desires. We've worked with an abundance of agents over the years and we have never had a "partner" like Michael! He listened to our needs, desires, and parameters, working in overdrive to deliver the home we knew was out there, (at a price we could afford), yet we just couldn't seem to find; and then we did! THANK YOU MICHAEL!

Then, as if that wasn't enough, Michael took on the listing of our existing Lake San Marcos home! Because we were about to leave on a previously planned extended vacation, Michael jumped in and arranged for everything, providing a level of customer service that is beyond compare! He hired help to "fix" the little details, clean and stage the home, promote and hold the open house, represented us at inspections... HE DID EVERYTHING! When we returned 3 weeks later, we had accepted a firm, very qualified offer, and closed just one week later. We could not be more pleased! Thank you Michael!

We met Michael Garner at an open house in our area. We liked his enthusiasm, knowledge of the area and youthful ideas so we listed our house with him. Michael gave us great input in updating and readying our home for sale. After listing the house, he had a TWO day open house the following weekend, receiving six offers, and shortly thereafter sold our home for a much higher price than we were originally asking. I would recommend calling Michael if you are looking for an ambitious and energetic realtor to handle your sale!

Let me start with a few concise sentences - Michael is one of the most impressive, genuine professionals that I have met in over 30 years of business. His communication skills, integrity and work ethic are beyond reproach. And now, the longer version. A neighbor across the street had an open house and we were curious so we checked it out. Michael was hosting and that is how this journey began. We knew we were interested in selling and were in the process of collecting information about the market. Michael was open and honest and shared his thoughts freely and with no pressure at all. We immediately liked his straight forward approach and extensive level of knowledge. Frankly, for a guy that seemed so young he presented as a seasoned agent who truly enjoyed talking with us. And his enthusiasm was remarkable. We met again a week or so later for a walk-through of our own house. Michael had great ideas about small changes we could make to maximize our home value and position ourselves to get the best possible price. And he came prepared with a marketing strategy and a calendar of action items and deliverables. We drilled him with questions and he remained calm and comprehensively answered everything we could think of. Fast forward to the selling process. The day of the open house. The photography Michael had done and other pre-marketing efforts paid off. We could not believe how many people came. Sold at full asking price to a cash buyer in 4 days. Highest selling price in the neighborhood. But the journey continues because we needed to purchase too. I am trying to keep this short but let me say that MIchael had a very volatile situation to work with. The logistics of coordinating pre-qualifications, approvals, financing, the laundry list of home inspection problems, appraisals, move-in dates, move-out dates, rent backs, escrow, lawyers, caveats and conditions, the list goes on. Texts and phone calls are flying around. Emotions are running high. Competition is fierce. Deals almost fall apart and then are put back together. I do not really understand how he did it but Michael was a rock through all of it. He processes information very quickly and thinks several steps ahead. Needless to say, I am grateful to have met Michael and would not hesitate to recommend him.

We can't say enough about Michael Garner. His tenacity and work ethic is an amazing asset in a real estate agent. When searching for a new home or selling your home, it is important to have any agent who listens to you and is truly interested in meeting your expectations. We are extremely pleased and everything went perfectly with the purchase of our new home. From the moment we met Michael at an open house, it was clear he was a professional who cared for about clients. Michael listened to what we were looking for and worked diligently until he found us the perfect home. We highly recommend Michael Garner if you’re looking for a home that “checks all of your boxes”. Michael works tirelessly for his clients and you will not be disappointed. We plan on using him again and recommend him to everyone! 10 stars for Michael Garner.
