Our realtor, Steve, was great. He understood what we were looking for, and gave us some great suggestions. He helped us choose the perfect property, and made the process as easy as it can be. He kept on top of every little detail. We closed last week, and we could not be happier.

We contacted Mike as a seller agent to help us market and sell our house. Mike was very courteous right from the first phone call. He was also very knowledgeable about the Market. On our first visit, Mike and Tyler visited with us and took the time to walk the property and ask relevant questions and take down notes. They came back with a marketing proposal. Mike then scheduled a meeting with his staging consultant Gina. Both Gina and Mike were very patient and took the time to walk the entire property with us giving us ideas on how to make the house presentable inside and out. The one thing we really liked that Mike said was to make this as enjoyable as we can and not to stress it. That was a huge relief, and it actually worked out quite well. We took down all the points and executed to plan. Once everything was ready on our end, Mike visited again to do a final check and as well as have a profession photography session. Once the photos came back and proofed, that night the house went on the market. Mike and team already had their marketing machinery ready to go into action right away. It is amazing that within the first 3 days we had 3 offers. Thanks to Mike and team the entire process went through very smooth. He walked us through all the remaining procedures, as well as came to closing with us which was honestly very comforting. This is a big deal for somebody who is doing this for the first time. Once again, thank you to Mike and his team for a job well done! Keep up the great work. We highly recommend Michael Cossette and team.

I’ve known Michael for almost 30 years ane he has helped me out on numerous real estate projects during that time frame. Michael has not only been an excellent Realtor but a good friend as well! Michael, has always been extremely responsive on answering questions, getting information in a timely manner, and negotiating advanced real estate transactions. He has also been a great source on information relating to current and future market trends. I would definitely suggest Michael and Remax Gateway on any real estate deals!!

Mike was great throughout the home buying experience. As a first-time real estate investor exploring an out of state market, I had a big learning curve. Having someone to help guide me through the process while also clearly explaining the “why” behind any suggestions he had was very important to me. It made a big difference in helping me to gain an understanding of the industry. Mike was great on all accounts. He has a very clear understanding of the end-to-end process, and my many questions were always addressed. He was even willing to have calls with me in the evening after regular work hours as our time zones didn’t match up which I really appreciated. Mike also worked with me to explore different options on property types and locations, gave insight into local neighborhoods I was considering, helped with negotiation strategies, and even referred me to local mortgage brokers and home inspectors. If you’re interested in entering the Austin real estate market and not sure who to trust Mike’s your guy!

I am so glad we found Mike! Being out-of-state investors, we needed someone who was familiar with investing both in general and in Austin, in particular, and who could give us guidance on neighborhoods and respective price. Mike was very knowledgeable and helped us greatly, sharing his insights regarding the local market and practices. We even ran into a tricky situation once under contract, due to this being a unique property, and Mike helped us navigate through the obstacles and negotiate our way to a successful closing. Mike was also super friendly and responsive. We trust him considerably and appreciate all his efforts. We would definitely use him again on any future Austin real estate endeavors. Thanks, Mike!

Mike Cossette made the home buying experience super easy. He knows every nook and cranny of the market and is well versed in real estate investing. I was looking for a house that I could rent out a few times a month as I travel quite a bit. He has short term rental properties and was able to tell me the ins and outs on how to do it properly. I feel going with an experienced realtor like Mike is a must, especially in Austin.

Life works in mysterious ways at times and you should always be open to what comes your way. We're newish property investors and have been actively seeking properties in TX between San Antonio and Austin when on a flight home (after looking at many properties but not finding one yet) I met a lovely woman and we got to know each other a bit during our short flight to Phoenix. I shared that I was in need of a great investor-friendly realtor in Austin and she said I have the guy for you, Mike Cossette. She forwarded an email market report that Mike sends out regularly which I found incredibly insightful about the Austin market and was quite impressed with the level of detail and fun facts and happenings in the Austin area. I reached out to Mike via email and he responded within the same day and we were off to the races together looking for a multi-family investment property in Austin. This all started in October this year and we recently closed on an awesome duplex in a perfect location in South Austin. Mike has been invaluable to us throughout this entire process and continues to be even post-close. Mike's knowledge of Austin and the surrounding markets is super insightful. He's very good at analyzing a property and helping to strategize about the potential upsides, including making an offer to get the deal done! We really appreciated his strategic thoughts on how best to close on a property that went off-market and a seller that had two deals fall through previously. Mike is incredibly resourceful! We don't know the Austin market well and don't live there. Mike stepped in to be our boots on the ground at his own initiative and went above and beyond to learn as much as he could about this property including calling in local experts, meeting them at the property, and providing us with immediate input from the experts on their assessments of the property so we knew exactly what to expect (the good and the not so good). No stone was left unturned before making an offer and we felt fully informed. We have nothing but praise for Mike and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an investment property or looking for your forever home. He's a phenomenal partner and continues to be. We never felt like we were just another transaction which we have felt with other realtors in the past. We feel like Mike is part of the family now and we look forward to searching for our next property in the near future with him!

This was my first home buying experience, and I couldn't have done it without Mike. I had a multitude of questions which he answered promptly and accurately. He also was a one stop shop with referrals for mortgage and an inspector which made the whole process much easier. Mike was committed to helping me find a property so much so that he gave up time on a Saturday to work with my schedule to help tour a condo. He helped negotiate down the overall price significantly which I didn't think was possible in Austin's crazy market. Overall, I'm really happy and grateful that Mike helped me buy my first condo and made the process less stressful! 10/10 Realtor will work with him again when I'm ready to sell
