We've known Michael for years as a wonderful neighbor and friend. He is always great to talk to about the realities of real estate in our neighborhood and Los Angeles in general.

Selling our beloved home of 24 years with Michael Collins was a pleasure from start to finish.  The 'start' was several years ago when we frequently checked in with Michael about market conditions and making smart improvements on our house. We had the added complication of wanting to transfer our tax basis to our next home which required us to be confident of what price we would get for our place.  Michael invited a dozen colleagues to come to our house and weigh in on pricing.  That was invaluable and gave us the confidence to list. The market presentation was no less than spectacular and on the first day of brokers open we had a traffic jam on our street and a fantastic offer.  The escrow was completely 'snag free' thanks to his thoroughness and advance planning to stay ahead of all deadlines.  Michael is a straight shooter and always gave us his honest professional opinion. read more

I'm the executor for an estate in West Los Angeles. Although based in NY, I was suddenly responsible for selling a condominium in a market I knew nothing about. I interviewed a couple of brokers but was immediately impressed with Michael's understated manner and obvious deep knowledge of the market. He proposed steps to better market the property that I would never have thought of. He not only showed me comps and described general market conditions but helped me understand how the market was moving that made me better informed regarding asking price, timing, and sale strategy. Michael suggested improvements I needed to make and those not to worry about. He helped me compare and negotiate the best deal given a soft and declining market. Looking back, the process was relatively quick. And most of all successful! read more

I love Michael! He is an amazing agent whom cares what's best for his customers. He is ethical and will only make recommendations based on his clients needs and wants. I definitely recommend Michael! read more

I have known MIchael for over 30 years as a respectable real estate agent and all around great guy! When it came time for me to sell my first property after living in it for over 30 years, I immediately called Michael to be my agent. We chatted, came up with a sales plan and he went right to work marketing my home! 1 month later we were in escrow and then 1 month after that we had a closed deal. I could not be more thrilled with the results and the professionalism of my agent Michael Collins. Scott David read more

We have purchased and sold several homes with Michael since the late 80's. Each time we work with him, he always exceeds our expectations. With Michael, the client always comes first. Michael's extensive knowledge of current real estate conditions and his finesse in deal making, makes the entire process of buying or selling as effortless and trouble-free as possible. Due to an extremely low inventory, buying anything in the current market can be a challenge. We knew there would be a bidding situation, yet Michael gently guided us through the process with ease and expertise and without any pressure to continue, if we weren't comfortable. Though there were a few challenges with this transaction, Michael stayed in control and managed the entire process with absolute professionalism. That comes from someone with years of experience and a genuine interest in helping others achieve their dream We will continue to work with Michael for all our real estate transactions. Thanks again, Michael! read more

Since we are not "flippers", we find the infrequent buying and selling of property to be highly stressful events. Enter Michael Collins of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury. From the moment we first met Michael, he reassured us that we would successfully sell our home on our own terms. Throughout the course of the sale, his actions matched his words. Although Michael is extremely knowledgeable and skillful, we find his biggest asset to be his willingness to listen. He heard our goals and helped us achieve them. We frequently said to each other during the sale: "You'd think our property was worth millions of dollars (it isn't) with the attention Michael pays us". We wholeheartedly recommend Michael Collins to anyone who is considering the sale or purchase of a home. He is a man of integrity, compassion and kindness. Linda DeMetrick and James Campbell, West Hollywood, CA. read more

Michael is the BEST! Thank you for your guidance and advice in our new home search. You were tremendously helpful in reviewing the real estate alternatives we considered throughout the year.

Michael Collins helped make the selling and buying of our house extremely easy without any stress. He was extremely organized, honest and knew a lot about real estate. He was able to guide us in all aspects of the negotiation process, which helped us tremendously. Additionally he was able to set up all the inspections within one day, which was very important to our busy schedules. His speed in presenting an offer to the seller was a tremendous asset in gaining the house of our dreams. (We know that if we didn't act that quickly, somebody else would've snagged the house before we could.) He was able to accurately price the house that we were selling, which resulted in several offers, so that we could get the best offer possible. He always made us feel like we were his only client-which we knew was not the case. We would definitely use him again recommend him highly!!!! read more

We were recommended & introduced to Michael Collins, and his business partner Allie, when we first moved to LA over two years ago. Coming from NYC, we knew we wanted to buy our first home in LA but didn't know much about the LA market nor truthfully what we really wanted/needed. Michael & Allie stuck with us through it all! We went to several rounds of searching until finally, just over a month ago, we closed on our new home in the Hollywood Hills. We never felt rushed or pushed; we asked more questions than one could possibly imagine every step of the way; and Michael and Allie were nothing but patient, professional, knowledgeable, trust-worthy, and just overall super pleasant to work with! We couldn't recommend Michael any more highly! read more

Michael Collins has been my realtor and friend since 1997. In that time he has assisted me in buying and selling a wonderful home in West Hollywood, a beautiful Spanish home in Museum Square and the purchase of my current home, a 112 year old Craftsman home in the mid-city area of Los Angeles now Los Angeles cultural & Historical Monument #1073.  I recently found myself the executor of two estates. One owned a large Craftsman home in Spaulding Square, the other owned a large oceanfront condominium in Marina Del Rey. My first call was to Michael. His knowledge of the market and his ability to bring in all the right support people were invaluable. He takes what can be a very complicated and confusing process and makes it easier.

We recently sold our house of 11 years with Michael, he was truly a pleasure to work with. He handled the sale with a steady hand, and head. The real estate market is not an easy one to negotiate these days and Michael's years of experience provided a solid base to work from. We were impressed with his confident business approach but more so with his friendly and caring nature. He understood that we were not just selling a house, it was a truly special place for us and not an easy one to part with. He assured us "the right buyer" was out there and he was right.

Looking for a new home in Los Angeles can be overwhelming, tricky and needless to say intimidating at times. I thought I had exhausted all available properties while searching on my own and then was introduced to Michael. Michael learned what was important to me, listened to what my needs were then brought me to properties I would not have found on my own or with other agents. Michael's strong relationships with most other leading real estate professionals led me to my new home quickly, painlessly, and I learned so much in the process. He made the purchase fun and his expertise in negotiation left me confident through each step. Everyone should experience buying a home the way I did. With this man's guidance.
