Several years ago, I had the notion to list my home for sale and I contacted Michael. My property is unique and located in one of our canyons. Michael put together some preliminary marketing information; including comps and some ideas for possibly promoting my property. Michael also arranged for several of his colleagues and local realtors to come on an afternoon to see and evaluate my home and property. It became evident to Michael during this preliminary process at that time that the market and conditions were not optimal to go forward with listing my home and Michael advised me of same. Michael places the needs of his clients before those of his own. In the near and distant future, I would engage the services for buying or selling of only one realtor and that would be Michael Collins. Michael is a consummate professional and a gentleman. He is knowledgeable, well connected, business savvy, supportive and unconditionally honest and reliable. I feel honored to know Michael and I feel that when the time comes for me to sell or to buy, I will be in the best hands. read more

Michael Collins helped us to sell a property in West Hollywood, Ca. in 2024. We purchased the house many years ago. To sell a house in a town we knew nothing about was very challenging. In addition, Real estate transactions have changed so much in the recent years, the paperwork required to complete was so overwhelming. Since we are not in the area, Michael was able to ease our mind and took over the process. He coordinated the needed work and repairs, with a designer to plan for staging etc. With Michael's market knowledge, expertise and professional sales strategies, the house had multiple offers within one week. The escrow was closed in a short period of time.

My husband and I met Michael 10 years ago, when we were buying our first house -- he represented the sellers, everything went super smoothly, and we had a great experience with him even on the "other side of the table". It was such a fantastic experience, in fact, that when it came time for us to sell the house, we decided to work with Michael again! We greatly appreciate his honesty, responsiveness, work ethic, deep well of knowledge (from 33+ successful years in the business), fun sense of humor and ability to defuse potentially contentious situations. He was always willing to go the extra mile for us and available to us at all hours of the day/night/weekend.

Michael Collins gets your deal done - he is immediate and responsive; rapidly returning all email. He makes sure as a client that you're fully aware of the status of your negotiation and successfully escorts it through escrow. His reliable habits of communicating clearly and constantly eliminate the chance of misunderstanding and always maximize client communication. He helped us immensely as his client but he also works steadfastly to make sure other relevant parties (title and lender) act in an expeditious way to keep the process in constant motion! What I like best, is that Michael won't compromise his opinion even when it's inconsistent with yours.

We were referred to Michael Collins by a good friend to help my brother sell his duplex, which he had lived in with his wife for over 40 years.

Throughout the entire process, Michael and his team kept us informed and guided us through what could have been a very stressful experience, turning it into a smooth transaction that closed on time.

Michael Collins is absolutely a 10/10 realtor! When my mom passed away, we had a lot of anxiety and emotion around selling her beloved home. Michael walked us through the process with not only his well-honed experience and vast knowledge, but with compassion as well. He understood the market and the area so well, and knew just how to market her small, but lovely home. As a result, we received multiple offers, and sold around $300K above our asking price. And the sale was quick and absolutely seamless, without any hiccups. At such an emotional time, it was such a pleasure to work with Michael, who not only guided us professionally, but treated us with respect, warmth and compassion. I would recommend Michael to all of my friends and family. read more

to call him a 5 star super agent doesnt mean much in this 5 star world. I would say that Michael Collins is in a category of his own. a uniquely human agent who speaks honestly, works professionally and inspires absolute trust. he neither Under or over valued my home but priced it fairly and engineered one offer before it hit the market and 2 in the first week it was listed. Both above asking. They respectfully worked around the tenants who were there for the final few weeks of their lease and they organised readying the house in my absence for its new owners in a way that was way beyond the description of real estate agent. It was an excellent experience. and if I had another property in LA I would return to Michael Collins. No doubts. read more

I have known Michael for many years and his involvement in both buying and selling our homes has been extraordinarily successful.  He cuts to the chase with his assessment of the situation whether you're going to agree or not and I find that to be very refreshing.  He's extremely professional, is familiar with the marketplace, and has done a great job of social networking thus has connections with a lot of the other agents in town.  Buying or selling your home can be a very emotional and stressful transaction but with Michael you get someone who is completely unflappable which is a trait that is much appreciated in these sometimes tense negotiations. Put simply, you can't go wrong with Michael Collins. read more

Michael recently sold my home in Hollywood and my experience could not have been better. We had one initial meeting and then Michael and his team took the lead from there. He had all the resources necessary for getting my home ready to sell. He had it cleaned, painted and stage. The end result was my home was sold for more than asking just days after listing it.

In one word, I'd describe Michael as a pro. In every sense and nuance of the word. He's the consummate professional. He's kind, patient, diligent and gives the honest advice. As a long-time real estate agent (and now retired), I have very critical and high expectations for real estate agents. Without hesitation, I recommended him to a very old friend of mine who lives out of the country and needed extra help in selling his luxury condo. Michael did it in record time. Stephen B. read more

I have known Michael for many (many many) years. I have watched his career thrive from the beginning. A few years ago, when I wanted to buy a certain condo, there was no one else to whom I would go. The same was true when it came time to sell my house. I was nervous and anxious, having never been through the process before. Michael answered all of my annoying questions with patience, and made what can be a painful process easy and fun. read more

Professional. Moral. Friendly. And, most importantly: he gets the job done. Michael helped me buy my first home near Culver City. This was in 2003, when buying a home was not easy. I couldn't have done it without him. It's worth mentioning that Michael doesn't disappear after the sale. He's remained a friend, and just a couple years ago he came over to the house to advise me on some remodeling plans. One could not ask for a better realtor. read more
