Mike did an outstanding job listing our home of 29 years. The listing was beyond words from the staging, pics and videos. Mike will be there for every situation with a knowledgeable and straightforward approach. He only uses the most reputable people to prepare a property . The total experience had some challenges but Mike was always there to help find a solution. I would consider him one of the very top agents in the area.
We've used Michael Bloch three times: twice as a buyers agent and once as a sellers agent. While his style is low-key, he was always very responsive to our questions and quick to address any issues which came up along the way. All of the contractors he arranged (e.g. stager, cleaners, etc) were professional and reasonably priced. We strongly recommend his team!
Working with Mike was an incredible experience. After searching for a home in Santa Cruz for nearly 20 years, the timing was finally right. Friends recommended Mike for his professionalism, honesty, and deep knowledge of the local market—and he did not disappoint.Mike truly listens and took the time to understand both the neighborhoods and our lifestyle needs. His strong reputation and integrity helped make the negotiations successful. He minimized the stress of the process and exceeded our expectations. Highest recommendation!
Mike Bloch is an exceptional Realtor, and in fact, made my wife and I feel like we were his only clients. His communication, attention to detail, and genuine care went above and beyond our expectations. It was important for us to list our condo at a realistic price and strike a balance between a quick sale and getting the most money we could for it. Because Mike lives and works in our neighborhood, he knows the local market extremely well, and guided us confidently through every step, from pricing, to marketing, to negotiating, to closing. He never let up on his marketing campaign until the sale was closed. We had two quick offers and were sold in a little over a month.We highly recommend Mike Bloch to anyone looking for a top notch, truly dedicated real estate professional.
Mike and his team of professionals did a great job of guiding us in getting our home ready for sale, staging, pricing and keeping us informed on every step of the sale. I would highly recommend Mike and his team of dedicated professionals.

Mike and his team helped me sell my property. They responded very quickly and were constantly negotiating and working to make the sale happen.I highly recommend Mike and his team for your next purchase or sale. I did both with Mike, and I am very happy with the results.
We really enjoyed working with Mike and his team. Mike was very responsive to all of my calls and emails and took care of all of the details quickly and efficiently. He was very approachable and talked me through every aspect of the process. We were selling from afar, so we couldn’t do any of the hands-on things that needed to be done before we sold. Mike had people who took care of everything for us. They also helped us make design decisions and upgrades which led us to selling our house for far above asking price. My family was blown away at how good the house looked based on what Mike and his team recommended. Mike went above and beyond and truly was full service. I couldn’t recommend him enough!
Mike did an excellent job helping us navigate buying our first home. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, never pushy, and is well known and well liked in the local real estate community which is a huge asset whether purchasing or selling a home. We highly recommend Mike!

Michael was an asset to both buying and selling of our homes. Morning, noon or night he was attentive to answering the many questions that our family had about the selling process and eventually the buying process.
