Bought a home in 2011.
My fiancée and I worked with Michael Allen during the purchase of our first home, and we couldn't be happier.

Being first time home buyers we obviously had lots of questions and concerns and Michael was there to answer all of them.

Our home search was very broad in terms of location and Michael was able to provide guidance and advice no matter what the location. During our first meeting with him he carefully went over the process of purchasing our first home, through the purchase and sales agreement we would be seeing when we decided to draft offers, and what we were looking for in home.

We both work full time so it was also very convenient that Michael made himself available on weekends, evenings, and often on short notice to view homes, answer questions, and draft offers.

Michael was there for all steps of the process; he arranged for viewings of many homes, was present for all inspections and walk-through of the properties we visited which was important so that he could answer our questions along the way and had a better understanding of what we liked and didn't like about the homes we saw.

Most importantly I always felt like Michael had our best interests in mind, I felt much more confident that we were getting a fair deal and that we had someone on our side when we were making offers, negotiating on price, and inspecting the home that we ended up buying.

We love our new home and working with Michael Allen made it a great experience, I would recommend him to anyone searching for a new home, and if we ever decide to sell our home, we will definitely be working with Michael again.

Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $375K in Nottingham, NH.
Michael was amazing. He helped not only find the most amazing house, he helped use through the whole process. He was very accessible before and after the deal had closed. I would use Michael again if we buy any other property. I would suggest you do the same!

Sold a home in 2013.
I generally have a relatively low opinion of real estate brokers, mainly from my own prior experiences with them. I'm glad Michael finally broke that chain. Finally a broker looking out for the seller's interests. Thanks Michael. Great job on our deal.

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $350K in Dover, NH.
Michael assisted me in the purchase and sale of a home in 2012. The purchase went smoothly due to his diligence and expertise. I am a difficult buyer/seller but Michael put up with my demands and didn't let any frustration show. I knew the house I wanted to buy, but I messed up on the financing and Michael was quick to rectify the situation. For the sale of my condo/townhouse, Michael understood how I needed to get the property sold quickly and went above and beyond in getting the buyers' needs met. He personally helped me fix smoke detectors and gave me advice on how to present the property for the needed quick sale. It was sold in time for me to get my new house. Michael is professional, knowledgeable and prompt. He kept every appointment and was on time. In my demanding job, time is very important and he understoon that need. He even went out of his way to drop documentation off at my workplace to save me time. I would recommend Michael as one of the best Realtors I have ever dealt with, and this would be my 7th purchase/sale....he is a gem!

Bought a home in 2012.
You won’t find a better Real Estate Agent than Mike Allen. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable about the local market, and we truly felt that he was our partner through the entire process of purchasing properties.

As our buyer’s agent, when Mike shows us properties he always points out the problems as well as the opportunities that we should consider before deciding on a purchase. He follows through on everything, and is extremely responsive to all questions.

We purchased three investment properties in the past year with Mike’s help. The amount of time that Mike spent with us through this process was extraordinary. Given we were purchasing two of the properties at the same time we talked with Mike almost every day for 3 months straight working through the many issues that came up with these properties. Mike was with us through every aspect of looking at properties, negotiating offers, inspecting properties, meeting with contractors to determine repair costs after inspection issues, walking through properties before closings and the closings themselves. And given that we were purchasing these properties as rentals, we had requested the ability to show the properties before closing in order to meet the rental timeframe for UNH students. This meant that Mike had to be there with us for every showing during this timeframe. He was extremely accommodating with his time.

We highly recommend Mike and wouldn’t think about working with anyone else. He is an all-around great guy and you will enjoy working with him.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $250K in Deerfield, NH.
Everyone says that buying a home can be painful at times. However, with Michael, it was the exact opposite. He helped us buy our first home and was always one step ahead, helping us every step of the way. The whole process was smooth and we trusted him on all of his input and suggestions. We really couldn't have done it without him. Again, thank you so much for all of your help Michael!

Bought a home in 2012.
Michael was a pleasure to work with. He helped me secure an investment property in this increasingly competitive market. His proactive approach and knowledge of the local market allowed me to win in a multi-bidder situation. Call Michael if you are looking for a home or investment property.

We connected, but it did not work out. Looking in NH
It seems it was a long time ago...long enough that I don't remember details. There was a condo that turned out to be a foreclosure When he emailed me right after I wrote intent of interest, I learned it was under contract and that it was a foreclosure with much work needing to be done. I can't review his negotiation skills. He was very nice. There was nothing else I could afford in the area I wanted that he could show me.

Mike was patient in our search for a house for our daughter in Dover. He was very knowledgable about Dover, the housing market and was able to answer all of our questions. Thanks to him, our daugther has a great home.

Listed, but didn't sell my Single Family home in 2010 in Madbury, NH.
Michael is a skilled agent for local buyers. He has been around the area for some time and makes the most of that knowledge. His personality is very laid back and he is very easy to get along with - it is easy to have a positive rapport with Michael. I would highly recommend him for anybody looking to buy property in the Oyster River district and surrounding areas.
