Testimonials

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 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 a Realtor in Reno, NV and was asked by my clients to find and interview several agents in the Austin area to list their 1.4 million dollar home. Being a Realtor myself in know that not all agents have the background and marketing experience to successfully list and sell a luxury property. After talking with Steve I had full confidence I had found the right agent for the job. Steve did an amazing job marketing the home for sale and sold it in about a week for over the asking price. My clients were thrilled how easily the sale went and with the results Steve's efforts provided. If I am ever able to send more people his way I definitely will.

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 paramount in helping us sell one home and buy another home. He went to bat for us when we ran into issues and was available 24/7 for any questions or concerns. Our listing was awesome and they really have a great photographer. I highly recommend Mike Cossette when you are making the leap to buy and/or sell!
