Success Stories

Read what my clients have to say about working with me.

I own a real estate transaction coordination company - basically we assist real estate agents with their paperwork and keeping track of deadlines. I must say, Michael is in the top 1% of hundreds of agents that we serve across 13 states. He is a delight to be around and work with, but more importantly, he genuinely cares about and fights for his clients. They always say how you treat the people that work for you says a lot about your integrity - Michael pays promptly, is a great communicator, and treats his TC with courtesy and professionalism. I highly recommend Michael if you are needing to buy or sell a property in East TN.

Michael was extremely helpful in walking us through the house selling and buying process. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism led us to a quick sell of our home and the purchase of our dream home. He went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible.

Second time using Michael Grider and the experience both times exceeded our expectations. He is knowledgeable, courteous and so much more. Never hesitated to contact him for what ever the reason may have been. He was always prompt in replying. I recommend Michael as a realtor you can trust and depend on. He made our transition experience fun and stress free. We moved back home to Tennessee, found our forever home, and made a friend in the process.

Michael was great as a realtor. He was engaged to sell multiple pieces of real estate on behalf of my mother’s trust. He provided thoughtful marketing plans, and when one of those was not yielding success, he stepped back, provided an objective evaluation of obstacles to overcome, and looked at different ways to approach the market to achieve the sale (and not simply say reduce the price). When there was conflict between the selling parties, he thought about creative solutions to preserve a sale contract with a buyer. While I don’t live in the area, I can absolutely let anyone needing a realtor in the East Tennessee area, you will be highly pleased to work with Michael.

While my wife and I were in the process of relocating to Blount County, we were originally with a different realtor, who quite honestly just wasn’t working out for us. We found Michael and knew at our first showing that he was the one for us. He immediately started asking questions about what we were looking for, and what we were not interested in. He was honest with us and did not try to sugar coat anything - if he didn’t feel that a property would be what we wanted, he told us. The most important thing is that he LISTENED to us and didn’t just try to sell us a house - he wanted to find us THE home we would be happy in. Michael was on point with communication, and his team was sure to aid us throughout the buying process. He is a personable businessman, but we are now pleased to call him a friend. Not only did he help with the purchase of our house, he has been invaluable in referring us to local businesses to make this area our home community. If you are looking for a realtor that isn’t out to push a listing down your throat just to make a sale, and someone that truly puts the customer first, look no further - Michael is the realtor you not only want, but need, in your corner.

Michael Grider is one of the best Realtors we have worked with. Once he understands what you are looking for in a house he will send you houses that meet that vision. Sometimes he will even find houses you did not have on your radar. He is patient and knowledgeable and makes the buying and selling process easy (even when there are hiccups). He is great at what he does but is an even better friend! You will not go wrong choosing him to represent you to buy or sell a home!

Michael Grider is excellent in navigating the selling and purchasing of homes. He is not phased by a difficult purchase or sale, we had both, and were successful on both transactions. He will give his honest opinion and give his all throughout the process. He is great with clients and in the process became a close friend.

Michael Grider has helped a friend sell two houses and buy a new one. He’s helped me buy a new house and just sold my mother’s home and our family property. I’ve referred him to numerous friends and family who have all been highly impressed with his friendliness, ability to go above and beyond, and never letting his client get discouraged during the process. He knows the east TN market and stays on top of trends in our area. He’s local and trustworthy. Jes well respected and a top realtor in our area. He’s just an honest gentleman trying to help everyone with their realty needs. I highly recommend him.

We worked with Michael helping our son and daughter in law purchase their first home because they were still living in Colorado. I feel like he did an excellent job keeping them in the know of how the process was going all while keeping us informed of what he needed from us being the “on call” in person representatives. I know he did lots of leg work for them before they decided on the house they purchased and they were very appreciative and impressed by his due diligence!
