    Sold a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $500K in Westlake, OH.
    Michael did a great job in marketing our property, which turned out to be a short sale. Michael looked in on the house at least weekly since I had to move away, kept in contact regularly with buyers who were interested, and managed to get multiple offers on the table after the house had been on the market for several years (I had gone with a different agent initially). Did not push me to lower my home price, which I eventually did on my own; not sure if he SHOULD have forced me to lower it a bit, but felt no pressure to make pricing changes at any point. Always called me back within a reasonable time frame whenever I called. Helped coordinate contracting for painting, lawn, air conditioning work that needed done on the house since I had moved away. Helped me negotiate a short sale with my bank. Would definitely recommend this responsive, friendly, hard-working and knowledgeable agent to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. Great knowledge of "the competition" and is probably one of the two or three more visible, high producing agents in northeastern Ohio. The only thing I would possibly fault him for is to fail to motivate me to lower my price sooner; I only did so after an exact model-match home was about to come on the market three doors down that had gone into foreclosure.More Less

    An ideal Real Estate Agent should know the local market and trends, be able to respond to your needs and concerns in a very timely manner, respects your wishes, guides you through every process including staging, contract execution and closing. They should also be experienced and tech savvy to maximize your exposure to the community near and far, and above all be personable.

    Michael Della Vella is all of the above and more. He was able to help sell our home in less than 5 days in these somewhat uncertain times due to the right pricing, marketing and knowing the reality of real estate market. He was able to give us all the contacts needed to have the best transition to our new home. He was honest and a true professional throughout the process. I had purchased a home from him 10 years ago and my experience was very positive then and only to be reaffirmed again 10 years later. I recommend him without reservation for your real estate needs.

    Our Team of Professionals

    The fact is, there isn't much more to the average agent than the agent themselves. Most agents operate a one-person show - and they're probably breaking their backs trying to do a good job for their clients. Most agents couldn't really work any harder than they're already working.

    We know, because we used to do it this way.

    But we don't anymore because we found that our client's suffered from our good intentions. The fact is, you may be sympathetic to the fact that your agent is working as hard as humanly possible, but if the quality and profitability of your home sale suffers as a result of them trying to do everything themselves . . . well,

    . . .you have a right to feel cheated

    The simple explanation is that we built a team of professionals to help us be in 10 places at once, and therefore greatly enhance the quality of service we can deliver to our clients. This is basically how other professionals like your banker or lawyer operate. And on top of this, we've used cutting edge technology to dramatically improve the speed, efficiency and innovative capabilities of every part of the service we deliver.

    We don't expect you to care about the fine-details of the inner-workings of our office. What you should care about is simply this. Because of the highly unique way we've structured our real estate office . . .

    Our client's homes sell for more money in less time!

    And because our Team sells a lot of homes, we have extensive homeselling experience that puts more money in our client's pockets.
