About Michael Forizs

"If you want to buy or sell in Stratford, Michael has the golden touch as he knows the market better than anybody, probably because he has most of the listings :) He helped us negotiate with incredibly difficult sellers, who looked to make it hard at every step of the way. But he did above and beyond what was necessary to make the deal to go through"
Patrick (Stratford)

"I wanted to take the time to thank our agent Michael for all the hard work he put in for my Family and I. We couldn?t be any happier with the knowledge he provided us!

I would highly recommend Michael Forizs to anyone looking to purchase a home or even just inquire about the process. Thanks again!"

He expertly guided us through the process with suggestions made at the opportune time for their effectiveness. Michael held open houses every other Sunday until the house was sold. He negotiated with the buyers convincing them to agree to our conditions for the sale. The house sold in a relatively short time. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."

Michael has extremely astute knowledge of the Stratford market and we were able to sell our house for full asking price and negotiate a relatively harried purchase within a three month period. He was always available to us via text, email and phone and went above and beyond with any questions or concerns we had.
He is extremely caring and has that personal touch with all that he works on. He even separately helped with a family estate sale when we asked for a curbside consult."
Kathleen Testa (Stratford, CT)

"Michael is awesome! He worked so hard and was supportive and helpful! We bought high so selling our house was so emotional but he was very understanding and really worked for us."
Ann Martorana (Stratford, CT)

Michael helped me sell my childhood home that I inherited. It had been a rental property for 15+ years. When seeing the property for the first time I was so overwhelmed and sad of the horrible condition it was in. I thought "there is no way I am going to be able to sell this". I reached out to Michael to have him come take a look at the property. He was absolutely wonderful. Not only was he compassionate to my feelings of the difficult time I was going through, he was confident that we would be able to sell. I signed the contract with him right there on the spot. Literally 4 hours later he called me and said he reached out to a contact he had and showed the property. Offer was made and I accepted. Mind Blown! If I had to sell another house I would not hesitate to call Michael again. He is professional, hard working, knowledgeable, and great to work with.

(Brookfield, CT)

"Although Michael's knowledge of Stratford real estate is truly impressive, his responsiveness and care for his clients really set him apart from the rest. There were times that we emailed Michael at midnight only to have an answer waiting for us before the work day started. This was very important because it allowed my wife and I time to discuss our plans before getting back to Michael during the work day.

My wife and I have a 14 month old and Michael was very sensitive to this with regard to showings and or meetings. We even approached Michael about perhaps taking the home off the market and his response was astonishing. He literally told us to do what's best for us and our family. If you're looking to sell your home with no added pressure of getting a sale done for the benefit of an agent, Michael is your guy."

"Mike is hands down the realtor you want! He was both my buying and selling agent. By doing both, he helped coordinate my move in and move out that worked wonderfully with our complicated lives. He is professional and will work for you; not like others who only care about the commission. Your concerns are his concerns, and he works incredibly hard at making sure things get done. Emails and phone calls are answered very quickly and thoroughly - you will never be left wondering what is happening. I am incredibly thankful for his services and expertise"
(Stratford, CT)

"We had our house listed with another broker for 6 months and when our contract was up, we decided to switch to a local broker who knew that Stratford market. Boy are we happy we did.

If you are looking for a knowledgable broker who listens and responds to your needs, we highly recommend Michael!"
Stacey Wahlberg (Stratford, CT)

If you are looking for an agent who will go above and beyond for you we highly recommend Michael"
Naimea

Michael advised me on every area to make our sale a smooth one. With proper pricing, and getting the apartment ready for sale, we were able to sell it in less than 30 days, to an all cash, serious buyer, at a price that was well within our expectations. I encourage anyone to listen to the agent's pricing recommendations. Michael was vigilant in obtaining the best price and terms for us, and even ran around dealing with management and obtaining keys for us. Being from out of town, I could not have been more grateful for this extra touch and his "above and beyond' service.

"It was our pleasure to work with Michael. We had many issues involving the purchase of property in SC which put pressure on the timing of the sale of our property in CT. With Michael's expertise and understanding of our particular situation we were able to successfully negotiate the sale of our home here, allowing us to follow through on the purchase of our new home. Our heartfelt thanks from our family is extended to Michael Forizs!"
Terry and Mike (Stratford, CT)

"Michael knows his market, demonstrates extraordinary attention to detail, is thorough in his market analysis, uses time efficiently by completely understanding his clients requirements and desires before attempting to match them with a responsive solution. Michael's affable nature belies his competitive nature. He is a very competent negotiator and is ferociously loyal to his clients. He doesn't hesitate to draw a client's attention to the flaws in a client's thinking or rationale about all aspects of a product or transaction terms and conditions. Above all, Michael is honest and singularly trustworthy. After spending some time with Michael, it is very easy to think of him as part of your family. He is generous with his time, talent, and resources."
Joe Smith (Stratford, CT)

"Michael Forizs proved to be a tenacious and effective agent for me when selling my house in Stratford, CT. This was not an easy or average transaction. There was an eviction to deal with, people backing out of the deal and a potential buyer offering an insultingly low offer.
What impressed me about Michael was how he stuck with this transaction from beginning to end - which ended up taking over a year, and also fought for me. I was not in the area at the time, so I needed him to really take charge, which he did.
I would highly recommend him as your real estate agent."
Suslov (Stratford, CT)

"Michael was a huge asset in assisting with both the selling and buying of our Stratford homes. His patience and understanding coupled with his negotiating prowess proved to be extremely beneficial to our process. I would highly recommend Michael for either buying or selling your property!"
Alyssa Forker (Stratford, CT)

(Stratford, CT)

"Our experience with Michael was excellent, we highly recommend his knowledge in the real-estate business. He was very professional in our negotiation in purchasing our new home."

"Excellent. Mike was very knowledgable about the area. Answered all are questions and made the process smooth. PLUS we sold the house in a 10 day time frame"

"From the time we interviewed Mike until the time we closed on both the selling of our old home and purchase of our new one, Mike was always upfront and honest with every detail. In one of the toughest housing markets on record, Mike delivered on both sides."
Prozak (Stratford, CT)

I worked with Mike to sell my condo in 2006. When others told me I could not get the desired price I was looking to get, Mike said "I can do it". Not only did he make the market for future sales in my complex but he also sold my condo in 2 weeks. Needless to say I was a satisfied customer. He is driven and knows the market; coupled with his responsiveness he's a great person to work with.

"We have enjoyed working with Michael very much. He knows the area better then any other agent we came across. One of his best qualities is that he isnt afraid to tell it like it is, which I feel is extremely important in a tough market like this."
Jackley
