    • Jillian Baumgartner
      We cannot say enough great things about Mike. Mike helped us buy our dream home AND sell our starter home. On the buying side of things, Mike did a great job of helping us narrow down what we wanted, reassuring that we could get more out of a house than we thought, and was a great communicator. One thing that sets Mike apart is that he really helped us while touring homes look at the full picture. He evaluated the outside and basement for issues before we started to fall in love with more of the aesthetics of the house.This really helped us feel confident when we went to put in an offer. Mike also did the most when going into a very competitive fight for house. He built a great relationship with the other realtor, helped us create a competitive offer, and ultimately helped us beat out 8 other offers. On the selling side of things, we felt a little overwhelmed at first, but Mike was great at letting us know the little improvements we could make that would make a huge impact. We really think that consultation was the key to get an offer we were super happy about. Overall, Mike is professional, communicative, and a realtor that I would recommend over and over again.
    • Ann Nabozny
      Working with Mike was such a pleasure. His follow-through and communication is impeccable. He truly goes the extra mile. MIke is so easy to work with and has become a trusted resource for all things real estate. Thank you for a great experience, Mike!
    • Ron Bozymowski
      Mike Guido is, without a doubt, one of the easiest, friendliest, and most knowledgeable realtors in the business. He has flawlessly assisted me and several of my family members and friends buy and sell their properties across the great state of Michigan. With an emphasis on developing a personal relationship with you as a client, his focus is solely on what is right for you and your budget. There is no other real estate professional in the area that I would recommend before Mike Guido.
    • Mack Partin
      Mike was awesome to work with! As first-timers looking in Clarkston, we were pretty clueless, he made it feel easy. He was incredibly patient, we changed our minds twice(sorry homie), explained all the paperwork in plain English, and even caught issues the inspector missed. He negotiated credits we didn't even know about and was always available when we had questions. Really good about checking in and not being pushy. Mike is the guy you want in your corner.
    • Joe Conger
      We used Mike to sell our longtime home in Rochester Hills, and honestly, it felt like working with a trusted friend who really had our back the whole way. From our very first conversation, Mike was straightforward no hype, just real talk about what the market would bear and the small fixes that would make a big difference. He took the time to get to know us, understand our timeline and goals, and genuinely cared about making the transition as smooth as possible for our family. The listing photos were beautiful, showings were scheduled around our convenience, and he kept us updated with quick calls or texts almost every day so we never felt in the dark. We ended up closing faster than expected and for more than we hoped. Mike’s experience, honesty, and just plain good communication made what could’ve been stressful actually feel manageable and even enjoyable. We’ve already recommended him to friends and would trust him again in a heartbeat.
    • Paul DiTrapani
      Mike rocks! He was incredibly helpful in navigating the home-buying process from start to finish. As a first-time buyer, he made sure that my wife and I were completely in the loop and comfortable as we progressed through the search for our home. He embodies his tagline "Practical. No BS." perfectly - highly communicative, always supportive, and super knowledgeable. 10/10, would recommend working with Mike to a friend.
    • Elli DiTrapani
      Mike was great. As a first time home buyer he made the process seamless & never left anything unexplained. Would recommend over and over!!
    • Amanda Dryden
      Mike is absolutely best!! Knowledgeable, listens to your wants and needs, and will get the deal done! Negotiating master. Highly recommend!
    • MAGMAR
      Mike is the best realtor in the state. He helped my husband and I purchase our first home. Now he has helped us sell that one and buy a new as our family has grown. He can get you into contact with literally anyone you need; from a painter to a foundation repair expert. He doesn’t BS you and try to get you to buy the first house you see. He will get you into the home that is right for you and will point out if there is something wrong. He is patient and always putting us first.
    • Denise A
      I found that my Realtor, Mike Guido was one of the hardest working, knowledgeable, trustworthy agents I’ve ever encountered! His expertise in our geographic market was key to making all the right decisions to sell our home, easily & quickly! He was always responsive to any questions, from myself or my family! Mike did an outstanding job, from start to finish, making my experience very easy & problem free. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who would like to sell or buy any building! He is always very friendly & treats everyone with respect! Mike Guido is the BEST!!
    • Lena Triest
      As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the whole process, but working with Mike made everything so much easier. He was always available to answer questions, explained every step clearly, and really took the time to make sure I felt comfortable and informed. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail were impressive, and his communication was excellent throughout the entire journey. I never felt lost or overwhelmed, and that peace of mind was priceless. I’m so grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy a home!
    • Catherine Hofbauer
      Working with Mike Guido for the second time was just as smooth and enjoyable as the first. From start to finish, he was consistently professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. He always kept us in the loop, answered every question with patience, and never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. Mike made the whole experience feel less like working with a realtor and more like working with a trusted friend. We always felt like he had our best interests at heart. We’re incredibly grateful for everything he’s done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
    • Thomas Hofbauer
      This is the second home Mike has helped us purchase, and we couldn’t be happier to have worked with him again. Mike is the kind of realtor who goes above and beyond in every possible way. He kept us informed every step of the way and was always quick to answer questions or provide guidance whenever we needed it. What really stands out about Mike is his dedication—he even sat at the house so contractors could come by and provide quotes, saving us time and hassle. He truly made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Beyond being a top-notch professional, Mike genuinely feels like a friend. You can tell he cares about his clients and wants what’s best for them. If you're looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, reliable, and just an all-around great person to work with, Mike is your guy. Highly recommend!
    • Dan Keimig
      Mike served as an incredible guide through our home purchase journey. He is patient, honest, and an all around good human and was helpful in steering us away from some red flags and toward our dream home. He did a great job inspecting any home we walked through and provided transparent feedback and advocated in our best interest throughout the process. From having a sound understanding of things to look out for structurally such as foundation, piping, utilities, roofs, gutters, etc, to double checking that the refrigerator door had proper clearance to open in a flip (it did not lol). Once we found the right home, Mike went above and beyond to connect with the listing agent and help our offer stick out and get accepted. Once accepted, Mike had excellent resources lined up for the home inspection and has a network of helpful resources available on his website. We know that if Mike recommends them, we can trust them. Mike communicated throughout the process from getting the offer accepted, to closing, to getting the keys. There were no surprises or hiccups along the way. I recommend Mike to all my family and friends, and anyone looking to buy a home in this competitive/crazy real estate market. You need a great realtor in this market and that’s Mike! Mike, cheers and thank you!!!
    • wisal fattouh
      Mike is a very knowledgeable realtor…prepare for him to go in the basement first during showings to check to see if the house is structurally sound, and things are all good so your not just buying lipstick on a pig. Mike and I had a really difficult deal (that eventually worked out.) throughout the deal he did a lot of detective work and was very communicative about what was going on the whole time. If you want someone that looks out for your best interest, and isn’t trying to just close a deal go with Mike.
    • patil Sachin
      Very through, friendly, and gives valuable advice. Always available, easy to work with. Highly recommend!
    • Lori Ciotti
      Mike did an outstanding job in selling my elderly parents home...he was patient with the elderly and all of the family to navigate and explain all the unexpected issues that may come up with the transaction.....Mike sold the house quickly, but more importantly made my mom and the family feel involved and comfortable with every step along the process....every one of our family would have Mike sell our properties...give him more then 5 stars
    • Spencer Conner
      Helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Made everything as easy as it could be, and had a ton of useful recommendations.
    • TvCasualty
      Mike is the real deal. He has helped me move my family twice now; buying and selling. Very easy to work with and no BS, which I definitely appreciate. Will keep in touch. Keep up the good work, Mike!
    • Joe Steele
      Mike is amazing to deal with. If i could give him 10 stars i would. A true professional. He is always willing to go above and beyond for his clients. I have used Mike in the past and will continue to use him in future.
    • Moe Amir
      Amazing Agent!
    • Colin Blanchard
      Mike has been extraordinary with my home buying process. He is very knowledgeable with homes, spotting out possible issues and gives it to you straight. He’s punctual and goes above and beyond when you have him in your corner. He doesn’t just show up to showings with his Birkin bag trying to get you to buy so he can move on to the next. I used him again for the sale of my home and will track him down when I am ready to buy again. 10/10 recommend.

      Absolutely thrilled with my experience! Mike went above and beyond to help me find a house. From the start, he was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient, answering all my questions and guiding me through the entire process. His expertise in the market truly made a difference, and I felt supported every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. Highly recommend!
    • Antoine Bassil
      Knowing how competitive the market is and how high the rates are going, Mike made this experience as smooth as possible as he remained calm and professional through our 4 months house hunt. Definitely working with Mike again with every purchase!
    • Joshua Cagle
      Mike was super efficient, and super helpful in helping me purchase my first home
    • Shelby Shoup
      Made my entire experience a breeze. Thank you so much!
    • Amanda Minissale
      Highly recommended working with Mike Guido! He is very straight forward and honest about homes we look at and helps you see both good and bad about the homes prior to putting in offer. Have bought 2 homes using him as our realtor and has been an amazing experience both times.
    • Al
      As first-time homebuyers, to say we were nervous about the whole process is an understatement. However, thanks to Mike and his expertise, things could not have been easier. He not only took the time to get to know us and our preferences, but he went out of his way to ensure we were getting our dream home. In a competitive market, we were able to count on him to support us and act fast. We began our search from out of state, and he took the time to do walkthrough videos for us — and he kept an eye on all the things we didn’t even know to look for. We are so grateful for his expertise, positive attitude, and keen eye for details — without him, we wouldn’t have gotten the home we fell in love with! We highly recommend Mike, and have no doubt you would have the same positive experience.
    • Sai Zaman
      Mike Guido has been an excellent resource to me as a first time home buyer. I appreciated his character of being patient, knowledgeable, and available at all times anytime I had a question or concern. All of this compounded in making the entire home buying process a very smooth and seamless transaction, I encountered not a single roadblock or delay. Home buying can be a daunting process, especially for first time home owners, and I'm appreciative I had someone I could rely on to put my concerns and lack of knowledge at ease. I'll definitely be recommending Mike to my friends, family, and colleagues. Thank again, Mike.
    • Isaac Fong
      Was referred to a Mike buy a relative who had a successful home-buying process with him. As a first time home buyer, Mike was really patient through the home buying process, accommodating with my work hours, and always a call or text away. Whenever I asked a question (about lending process, titles, etc.), he made me feel not-stupid and provided me some resources he recommended as well. He helped point out structural elements that I wasn't super familiar with, and never really tried to sell me the house I was looking at - just pointed his observations about different parts of the house. The closing process for my house was a little messy, but Mike tried his best to make it as stress-free for me and advocated for me as the buyer in multiple instances. Very chill guy. Would use him again :)

    • Adam Bisignani
      I met Mike at an open house and from the start, was upfront and honest with me. As a first time home buyer, this was immensely appreciated and invaluable. Through the entire buying process, Mike was pointing out things to consider after moving in to maintain my home. Mike was professional, kind, prompt, flexible and an absolute pleasure to work with. 10/10 would recommend 🙂
    • Sarah Szczerbaty
      Mike is so amazing to work with!!! I cannot say enough good things or recommend him enough! I spent a year looking for the right home and he was there every step. He was very patient, knowledgeable, really easy to get ahold of and always answered any questions I had. I completely trusted his opinion when we were touring homes and in the end I found my perfect home with his help and could not be happier!
    • jrjackard
      Mike Guido is absolutely fantastic. This was my first home buying experience and I'm the type that likes to ask a ton of questions. Mike took the time to sit down and explain the entire process from start to finish and answered all my question throughout the entire process. He is incredibly understanding and really goes above and beyond to help any way he can. We only looked at one house and love it, and with his advice and guidance, we were able to secure the house of our dreams. The rest of his team were extremely helpful as well. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.
    • Walter Smith
      Mike helped use find a house in Detroit wile we live in Louisiana. Mike made the process so easy I felt like we received the same service remotely as we would have received in person. He also helped out kids find their house. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for house.
    • Joseph Moraniec
      Mike helped us sell our home and helped up buy a new one. He worked very hard negotiating and getting things signed. He is very knowledgeable about the homes structural issues and is very honest and will tell you yes or no if he thinks a house needs too much work. Basement walls etc. The closing process was smooth. Would highly recommend Mike!!!
    • Sharnita Mangum
      See it until you see it!!! I always wanted to be a homeowner so I would always go to open houses. I am so glad I went to this particular open house because I would have never met Mike!!! We bought a house during Covid!!! It was an emotional roller coaster but Mike was by our side every step of the way and his mother’s prayers!!! We put our brains together and we made our closing date come true!!!! We closed on Christmas Eve!!!!!! Our condo is everything we wanted plus more!!!! And as of today… I am the president of our condo association!!! God did that!!!!! Please listen to Mike advice and have patience while trusting the process!
    • mark hillman
      Practical is the key word. Mike is outstanding, bringing a perspective to the purchase that is important on a major purchase. Its easy to get enamored with what your eyes see but of course there is much more. Seeing the "bones" of the house and talking through practical considerations is very valuable as you decide what is right. I have purchased several house with Mike's help. There isn't a better person to work with.
    • ChadBendig
      Mike helped immensely with the home buying process. He walked me through everything that would need to be done, got me into houses extremely quickly and helped with the offers and the entire process. Super smooth sailing I have recommended to many, he made me feel comfortable during one of the biggest purchases of my life. Thank you again Mike, I've been in my home for about a year and Mike was key to getting me here.
    • adam bisignani
      As a first time buyer, Mike was amazing to work with. He was honest on what he liked and what concerned him on each house we visited. His honesty made finding a most fitting home much easier as I could narrow my search instead of wasting time seeing houses that did not fit my needs. He was always extremely responsive and adaptive to my schedule. Would recommend Mike 10/10 times
    • jmazura65
      Mike worked hard to negotiate the house I wanted with a difficult seller but he got the job done. Now we are in the home and area we always wanted to be!
    • jdperry17
      As a first time home buyer, Mike offered unlimited help, knowledge, and consultation. He helped my fiancée and I find our beautiful first home in this very tough market, in our desired location. Mike was ready at all times of the day, equipped with his flashlight and laser pointer, for showings and home improvement ideas. He made the home buying process smooth and effortless, and I cannot thank him more. If you are looking for an agent that is a skilled negotiator, knowledgeable about the market, and is not pushy - Mike is your guy.
    • emmacermak
      We really liked working with Mike. We had to purchase our home remotely and he was great about helping narrow down homes, show us the houses by video, and point out important features, both positive and negative. As first time home-buyers, he taught us a lot about what to look for in a home.
    • chimairalady
      Mike is a fantastic realtor. My husband and I had the help of two fantastic realtors in Eau Claire, WI, and we didn't think we would be able to find anyone in the Detroit area that could come close to comparing. Boy were we wrong. Mike was there through each step of the process and his attention to detail and thoroughness are wonderful qualities to find in a realtor. His knowledge of the metro and neighborhoods is quite vast, which was great as we were looking in a broad area. It took us a while to get to the right house, but Mike was on our side the entire time. Do yourself a favor and work with him, it was an excellent experience for us, and I'm sure it will be for you as well.
    • graham hayes01
      Mike was great to work with. He is laid back, but professional. He never pushed us or put pressure on us, but always helped inform us and keep our best interests in mind. He always carries a flashlight and is very thorough. He looks at the house as structure, not just the appearance. There is a lot of experience there, so he was able to see things from different perspectives that we may have not thought of, and would point them out. He really looked at a house with us, instead of just showing us the house. There is a big difference there. He was a great guide, and was very patient and receptive through the process. We are not local, and he was able to give us a list of restaurants that he personally recommend, as well as other information and tips that weren't house related. It was a bit scary coming to a new area, and trying to navigate the crazy housing market that is 2023, and my wife and I couldn't have been happy to land Mike as our realtor.
    About Me

    Practical. Strategic. No-BS Real Estate.

    Mike Guido

    Most people don't need a sales pitch. They need someone who will sit down with them, walk through the numbers, explain the tradeoffs, and help them make a decision that actually fits their life.

    I live in Oxford and work with buyers, sellers, and homeowners throughout Oakland and Macomb County, with a growing focus on Oxford and the Lake Communities at Waterstone. Whether you're buying your first home, moving up, or simply trying to make sense of today's market, my goal is to help you make confident, informed decisions—not just sell you a house.

    When I'm not working you'll usually find me spending time with my wife and son, trying a new recipe, camping off the grid, or fishing. I'm a firm believer that real estate is about building a life—not just buying a house—and I strive to be the kind of resource my clients can rely on long after closing day.

    The conversation doesn't stop at closing.

    Real estate questions don’t need a sales pitch.

    Pick whichever conversation works best for you. Most take about 20 minutes—just enough time to talk through where you are, what you are considering, and what actually makes sense.
