"Hi Michael, Just a quick note to say Thank YOU for everything. We are getting settled in Fort Collins and could not be more pleased with the entire transaction. How quickly everything fell into place and how quickly we were able to close on the house. Thanks, Kathy Hamilton"
"Service was extremely quick and easy. Michael Jake was very professional and courteous. Called them last minute and they quickly made an apt and came out to the house. Michael was very nice and pleasant. There were quick to answer any questions. Whole process went fast." Dan & Sasha Hernandez
"I recently purchased a home from Mike and appreciate his honesty and clarity during the entire process. It has been my experience over the years that buying your dream home has the potential of becoming a disappointing nightmare. You have your heart set on a home and have the property under contract, only discover that the seller doesn't fulfill their obligations or wants more money at the closing table. Not so with Mike - we were able to put the property under contact and close quickly, without any hassles. If you want to sell your current home or are looking to purchase a new home, I would recommend calling Mike prior to contacting a realtor. You will save thousands of dollars in commissions, get a quick closing and avoid all the hassles. Mike's a great guy and has surrounded himself with a knowledgeable team. Thanks Mike for your help!!" Jeff W.
"We received a card in the mail from Michael's company offering to purchase our house. We were a little skeptical at first, but we had a second house we were no longer using and thought we would see what Mike could do for us. Mike came out to see the house at a convenient time and made a couple offers right on the spot. He didn't try to pressure us and thought we should take some time to consider it. We decided to move forward and Mike took care of everything and closed in about a week. Everything went just as explained and we're happy with the result." Robert Dankert Sr. and Cassandra Dankert Colorado Springs, CO

" To whom it may concern, Michael Jake sent us a card in the mail. It came at the worst time in our lives, but we feel it was brought by God. He came to our house with a smile and warm greeting. We sat down, I cried and he saved us from a deep burden. This has been a wonderful experience and we would recommend his services! We even hope to purchase a home from him when we get back on our feet again. Thank you so much Michael: You are truly our angel from above" Sheryl Patterson

"Thanks, Mike for making selling my house so easy! Being transferred out of the area due my job, I found it no fun at all trying to manage renting my house out – even to a couple of my friends. They just never treated it like I did. Little stuff would break and I had to try to get it fixed from 8 hours away. You bought the house just like you said you would and I got a good price." Ericka T.
"Working with Mike has saved us from possibly foreclosing on our house in the next months. Saved our credit." Daniel and Melissa Jewell
"I have closed over 10 deals with Michael Jake and as a real estate agent, I wish the process of selling a home could go so smooth with all of my closings. From the beginning of the process, whether Michael puts an offer on the property or not, Michael is quick to respond and quick to get documents needed. I have never run into any "funding" problems in dealing with Michael and to put quite simply, the deals that I have started with Michael have all closed. I find him to be honest, forthright and very agent friendly. Norm Stanley, Broker Associate- Clemente Real Estate"

We found our dream home and thanks to Mike are able to move in. My girls are excited to have their own closets and I am excited to have the space.

"I had gone through a divorce and ended up keeping the house. After trying for about a year to make ends meet I realized I could not do it. I was facing the problem of a possible foreclosure. This is when I met Mike. I had tried to sell my house for about eight months when I received Mike's letter in the mail. I contacted him and within a couple of weeks Mike was able to arrange a closing on my home and take over my payments. Mike was always professional and prompt in our business dealings. I am absolutely satisfied with the transaction and would recommend Mike to anyone trying to sell their home. I work for a local Law Enforcement agency and I trusted Mike in my situation and you can to. I just want to thank Mike for his help again, he is a real lifesaver in tight situations." Isaac P.

"I had a house in a nice neighborhood I was planning on fixing up over time. I ended up meeting someone very dear to my heart and got married. We purchased a nice home we could live in together. I gradually found less time to work on my other house and as time progressed I realized all the little things I didn't budget for were adding up. All the time I was working on the house was time away from my new wife. I eventually got sick of making payments on an empty house and being away from my wife. It was becoming a financial burden and I didn't want to get myself in trouble. That's when I called Mike. His company immediately took over the payments on my house, got it fixed up in a hurry and resold it. I was sure leery at first, but after all is said and done, I couldn't be happier. He did everything just like our agreement said. Mike bought the house in less than a week. I didn't think they could really do that. He explained the whole thing in plain English and really treated me like gold. In today's age when its hard to trust anyone, thanks for living up to your word. I appreciate everything and will tell all my friends and family. Thanks again." Jason D., Colorado Springs,CO

"To whom this may concern, I have been in contact and doing business with Michael Jake since the summer of 2004. From the beginning, Michael has addressed himself in a very pleasant and professional manner over the phone and in person. … I was very impressed by the way he coordinated the R.E. transaction... Everything on the contract and verbal agreements were fulfilled to all parties expectations and satisfaction without any type of conflict like most R.E. transactions I've been involved with.

"I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Jake now for several years and I can honestly say that on every transaction, he has been wonderful to work with. Last year we did 11 transactions together and they were all smooth and all closed on time. He always does what he says he will, and he goes the extra mile to make sure that everyone goes away from the closing table feeling like they won. He has earned the respect not only from clients but also from other REALTORS®. He is a great guyy who wants the best for everyone. He has several sources of funding so financing is never an issue. He also has great support from his wife/partner Lori who is always on top of everything. I feel totally comfortable recommending Mike to anyone. Sincerely, Bobbi Price, Broker Associate, The Platinum Group Realtors"
