"Michael was referred to me by friends who had nothing but fantastic things to say. But, in my standard doubtful way, I assumed I’d walk into yet another lackluster experience with a Realtor®-drone that unlocks doors and follows you around, rather annoyingly. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I shudder thinking about how many condos and townhouses we looked at before I found the perfect one. Which is a testament to his desire to ensure you find a place that truly feels like home. He exceeded my expectations regarding professionalism and communication from the start. He’s by far the most responsive Realtor® I’ve ever worked with. He was ridiculously informed about every neighborhood we visited: restaurants, gyms, coffee shops, grocery stores, local events, historic landmarks, dog parks, I could go on. After a few rounds my skepticism vanished, and so did my anxiety. This was the first home I purchased alone, there was no one next to me weighing the pros and cons. It was tough, I second-guessed myself a lot, and frankly just felt overwhelmed. Michael said to me one day, “This is a process, it takes time, the only goal here is for you to be happy, there are no other factors.” That could have been a “lip service” comment made by others, but it was spoken with complete sincerity. Never once did he have a sales pitch or make me feel pressured, he simply felt like the friend that wants the best for you, because he does. He helped me ground my thoughts and focus on the things that were important to me in a home, and we found it. I found my dream house in my dream neighborhood. My fairytale ending doesn't stop here, Michael did an amazing job negotiating, he was there for inspections and all communications with every party, right up to settlement. Now, just like my friends and so many others, I have nothing but fantastic things to say about him. I delightfully recommend him with zero reservations. And, for anyone else that’s had one of those “lackluster” experiences, give Michael a call, he’ll redefine what it means to be a Realtor®."

"What can I even say about my home buying experience with Michael Prince as my Real Estate agent? He is amazing. Before our home-buying journey with Michael, my husband and I had looked at homes a year ago with a different agent who made us feel as if we were wasting her time. Asking a question elicited a condescending response and it seemed like a chore for her to even spend time looking at homes with us and answering our many questions. Because of this, I felt extremely hesitant to continue looking for a home, so we put the idea on the back burner for a while. This past summer, my husband was determined to get us out of our apartment and into our dream home and so he decided to go with Michael Prince for our next attempt. From the very beginning, Michael was warm and knowledgeable about the market in Philly. He was excited to show us homes. He demonstrated his professionalism and motivation to help my husband and me find the perfect place for us. As soon as we contacted him with properties we were interested in, he had times set up for us to go check them out. Once we found our perfect home, he helped to guide us as first-time home buyers in what would make sense for an offer and promptly took care of it for us. He already had numbers worked out for us at the home we were super interested in so that we could see what we could afford in many different counter offer scenarios. The next day, we had a counteroffer that Michael discussed with us and we accepted. Throughout the entire process to settlement, Michael was available whenever we had a question or concern and always took care of any issue that arose so that we felt confident going into closing that all would run smoothly. The day of our final walk-through, a few hours before settlement, Michael took us through each room and made certain that everything that needed to be fixed per our inspection was done properly. He made us feel super excited and proud and we honestly couldn’t imagine going with any other agent."

"Whether selling or buying a home, Michael Prince will always be my first call. He is a Real Estate expert, exudes professionalism, and surrounds himself with the best in the business. I have and will continue to refer him to friends and family. In 2008, I bought a “no-doc” house as an investment. When I got married in (insert year), my wife moved into the property, which we quickly outgrew. My wife and I are far from Real Estate experts, and we listed the house in “as is” condition and priced it way too high. Michael and his team gave us the hard truth our home was not worth what we thought it was, and we needed to make some upgrades. Thankfully, we trusted their advice. Three days after relisting the property, we received an offer and accepted it. Hooray. We were ecstatic, but then COVID-19 hit and everything shut down. Now what? What do we do? Do we buy? Do we rent? Is the world ending? All your typical COVID-19 nightmare scenarios. With Michael’s patient guidance we eventually found our dream home, which wasn’t easy during a pandemic. Because of pandemic restrictions, Michael would have us wait outside while he took us through a video tour through the houses. It was painful for all of us. But, then it happened. He found us our dream home."

"Michael was extremely professional, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile in assisting me with finding the perfect living solution. Even in the highly competitive market of Fishtown, Michael helped guide me into finding exactly what I was looking for in the price range I was comfortable with. He was ready and willing to check out any property that fit the criteria I was looking for the second it was available for show, which helped to better my odds of securing a fair offer. He very meticulously walked me through every step of the process and explained everything to me in a clear and concise matter. I highly endorse Michael Prince for all your Real Estate needs."

"Michael was a wonderful Realtor® to work with from the start of the selling process to the end. He helped us evaluate what work needed to be done to our home to improve its selling potential. He solicited contractors and worked as a liaison between us and them. He helped us determine listing and selling prices but always left key decisions up to us without any pressure. He also helped us ensure the house was in good condition while up for sale as we lived out of town. He was a pleasure to work with, quick to respond to questions and concerns, and helped us seal the deal in a timeline that we needed. Thanks, Michael."

"Michael Prince in my personal opinion and throughout my situation was nothing short of a lifesaver, during the sales process when things got difficult and problems seemed to arise that made me want to call it quits he pushed me to stay the course and keep getting after it, it wasn’t just about a fat paycheck at the end for him he genuinely wanted to see me succeed and be happy and that’s hard to get out of anyone nowadays. Mike’s title throughout the process was “Realtor®" but I consider him a friend now after everything he’s done for me. Thanks again, man."

"We worked with Michael to buy our first home over the past few months. From start to finish, Michael was amazing to deal with. He walked us through the whole process, managed our expectations, went on countless showings with us, and helped us eventually find our perfect home. As first-time buyers, there was a big learning curve and Michael educated us and put up with us the whole way. Mike went far above and beyond what I expected from an agent and I have already started recommending him to my other friends looking for homes. Highly Recommended."

"I purchased a home this year with the excellent help of Prince. As a first-time homebuyer, I was quite clueless. Prince guided me through the whole process and explained everything in terms the average folk would understand. He was very knowledgeable of each neighborhood and very patient with my indecisiveness. He listened to what I was looking for and paid attention to detail on finding me the perfect home, and rather quickly, we found it. I thought buying a home would be super stressful, but Prince really made the process quite enjoyable."

"I live in Chicago but owned a house in Newbold that was purchased when my daughter was in college, she got married and was ready to move back to the midwest, so I wanted to sell the property (no interest in being a long-distance landlord). Michael was great from beginning to end. He was honest and helpful about suggestions for preparing the property for listing, knowledgeable about the neighborhood and marketplace. I wanted to sell the property quickly, and we did, and at a price that made me very happy. I would recommend Michael highly."

"Michael made this home buying process so enjoyable, even through the insanity that has hit the market as of late. He listened to exactly what I wanted, always gave me sound advice, and even just checked in to see how I was personally throughout the entire time we worked together. He’s honest, thorough, and just so great at his job. Any time I hear that someone is even thinking about looking to buy, I recommend Michael."

"We met Michael at an Open House and quickly determined he could help us as we had a short time frame to locate and purchase a home. He knew the area very well and was quick to respond to our requests for information. Since the purchase, he has helped a great deal in getting issues resolved with the builder on several occasions. Michael has handled and continues to handle things professionally and in a friendly manner."

"I can’t say enough good things about Michael Prince. He was patient, attentive, and delivered on everything we wanted. I was almost sure I was never going to own my dream home but Michael and his team at OCF especially Emily Ackerman who is amazing, put us in the perfect home. I don’t know why I would ever sell my house but if I do I will 100% use him again."

"Michael was not only able to help us sell our house, but buy a new home in only a few short months. He found us the right people to work with to ready our home, the right mortgage company to work with to buy our new home, and was ready and available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I don't think we could have done all we needed to do without him."

"Michael was great through the whole process. We met him at an open house he was hosting and hit it off and went from there, a few weeks later he was taking us all around the city one day and suburbs the next to cater to what we felt we needed to see before putting an offer in (of course on the third house we had visited in the weekend). He kept us in the loop as the offer negotiation and then contract work progressed and even went as far as to come with us to the inspection, which was great to have him there to ask the questions we wouldn’t have known or explain things we didn’t understand as first time home buyers. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home."
