Dear Michael,We are so fortunate to have you on our “team” in our house search. It has been a process from which we’ve learned much, and we feel lucky to have someone we can trust guiding us. Emily and Matt

Michael Johnston became our agent as a result of a friend's enthusiastic recommendation when we decided to sell our beautiful large house on 100 acres of lovely VT land, Our expactation were more than surpassed! Michael not only gave us expert advice, and was crucial in the final difficult negotiations, but was remarkable in the many ways he helped us get this property ready for sale and inspection. He not only identified the various things which required correction, but in many cases just fixed them himself - in one crucial case whithout even telling us!! I could go into detail, but will just say that our relationship quickly became a trusted friendship, which has endured and deepened now that the house was succesfully sold. Michael is not only an extraordinarily competent and effective but also a very thoughtful and kind person, who brings a range of deep experience to his tasks. It was a great comfort to have him as our representative in this sale, which he handled with quiet and consistent competence, as well as being our indispensible helper in the complex process of getting the property prepared and then sucessfully sold. I recommend Michael Johnston unreservedly. He is is terrific! George Jaeger

I have been a president of a Habitat for Humanity chapter in Colorado. When I moved to Middlebury, I naturally gravitated to working on construction with the Addison County chapter. When my wife and I were considering buying a house, I asked the chapter president and others involved whom they would recommend. They recommended Michael, who is not only a board member of this chapter but lauded by others on the board for doing a lot of work for the chapter. We chose Michael on those recommendations and found him excellent in every way. I heartily recommend him.

Michael was instrumental in making the sale of our home in a rural county a pleasant and efficient process. He was straight forward and helpful with making some changes to the property that were critical to passing the property on to new owners. He would continually go above and beyond to help people create a new vision for the property with enthusiasm and honesty. Truly a unique real estate agent that understands the nuts and bolts of a house and the people dreaming of a new home.

Michael was extremely helpful in managing our home purchase. He was able to focus our search on homes that met our needs and budget. Michael is engaging, very responsive and understands how to manage the emotional aspects of home buying. I would highly recommend him to anyone and we will certainly use him again!

Michael was our buying agent and made the experience easy and delightful. Not only does he know his stuff but he also made the experience smooth and problem free. He was very responsive to our myriad of questions whether by phone, text or email, met us on multiple trips back to the house we eventually purchased without making us feel like like it was a bother and offered us much needed landscaping advice as that is another area of his expertise. But, maybe the best thing about dealing with Michael (for us) was his knowledgeable but casual conversational style and his sense of humor. He made this process fun and we are extremely happy with our new house.

Michael helped my family sell my parents' home in 2019. He had been recommended to us by friends, and it was a great recommendation. Michael is friendly and professional, but the key is that he puts in the extra effort. He did all the usual things you'd expect of a real estate salesman, but then he did more. He helped us find people to clean out the house, do repairs, sell and donate stuff, and all those other peripheral issues. I even saw him moving boxes at one point. He was available and willing to help with whatever we needed. He really earned his money. Don't hesitate - hire him.

Michael was in our corner from day one. He listened to our needs, humored our crazy ideas, and was supportive every step of the way. And being from out of town, his local knowledge was invaluable.

My business partner and I bought a property in Middlebury VT to relocate our PT practice into its own space. Michael was very instrumental through the whole process, from walking through, allowing us to bounce ideas for floor plan and redesign, even assisting in finding a builder to help with the renovations. At closing, our lawyer commented that our closing was one of the easiest he had ever been party to-completed a business purchase in 45 minutes! I have to believe that Michael's efforts through the buying process, and the open communication he kept between us, the sellers agent, and our real estate lawyer was the reason this purchase was so smooth. For an agent who is attentive, responsive, and committed to his clients, look no further. You have found him.
