This is now the fifth time we have worked with Mike Cossette, and there is a reason we keep coming back. Mike originally helped us find our very first home after moving to Texas, and most recently, he helped us find our absolute dream home. With his help, we were able to sell our current property and finally start living the dream life we've worked toward. Even in an incredibly tough market, Mike navigated the sale of our property with ease. Selling a home you've put so much into requires a specific, thoughtful strategy, and Mike delivered exactly that. What we appreciate most--and why we've trusted him five times over--is his exceptional communication. He truly listens, understands our needs, and kept us grounded with consistent, honest check-ins. Mike has a rare ability to balance high-level market expertise with a personal touch that makes you feel like his top priority every single time. Whether you are buying or selling, Mike is a true advocate who gets results when the market is challenging. We can't recommend Mike Cossette highly enough! read more

We contacted Mike as a seller agent to help us market and sell our house. Mike was very courteous right from the first phone call. He was also very knowledgeable about the Market. On our first visit, Mike and Tyler visited with us and took the time to walk the property and ask relevant questions and take down notes. They came back with a marketing proposal. Mike then scheduled a meeting with his staging consultant Gina. Both Gina and Mike were very patient and took the time to walk the entire property with us giving us ideas on how to make the house presentable inside and out. The one thing we really liked that Mike said was to make this as enjoyable as we can and not to stress it. That was a huge relief, and it actually worked out quite well. We took down all the points and executed to plan. Once everything was ready on our end, Mike visited again to do a final check and as well as have a profession photography session. Once the photos came back and proofed, that night the house went on the market. Mike and team already had their marketing machinery ready to go into action right away. It is amazing that within the first 3 days we had 3 offers. Thanks to Mike and team the entire process went through very smooth. He walked us through all the remaining procedures, as well as came to closing with us which was honestly very comforting. This is a big deal for somebody who is doing this for the first time. Once again, thank you to Mike and his team for a job well done! Keep up the great work. We highly recommend Michael Cossette and team. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Mike Cossette made the home buying experience super easy. He knows every nook and cranny of the market and is well versed in real estate investing.

I feel going with an experienced realtor like Mike is a must, especially in Austin. read more

Worked with Mike on our home buying journey in the Austin area. Especially as we were moving from out of state, there was a lot of potential for headaches and stress. Mike was very attentive, prompt, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process and made the entire thing fairly painless. He also works with you in the manner that you work best. Need a lot of help finding potential properties? He's got you. Need help with picking through homes and setting up showings for a host of listings you've found yourself on MLS? He's got you.

Michael Cossette spend over 2 full years helping us find the perfect home. As first time home owners go, we were picky and willing to wait which he didn't seem to mind and he looked into every lead tirelessly. He answered all our questions SO well and we felt like we were able to really understand the market and our options which made us feel both confident and comfortable. We trusted his opinion and knew he wouldn't steer us wrong He's no spring chicken at this profession, it's his life and he's really good at it. It's impressive. And I have to toot his horn and let everyone out there know that he is NOT afraid to to head to head with anyone trying to take advantage of you. Speaking from personal experience here, he shielded us from a bad investment and some shady deals like a superhero coming to save the day. And finally, when we landed on the place of our dreams and we were ready to buy the experience was smooth and easy. We've heard horror stories about closing on a house and we were mentally prepared for a nightmare of an experience only to find it never came. Our closing date even got moved up because everyone was so ahead of the curve and prepared. Mike followed up many times after as well to make sure we settled in well and to answer any lingering "what now?" questions. It wasn't transactional, it was authentic. Five stars all around I just can't say enough good things here about our experience! Thank you Coss! read more

We loved our experience with Mike. We were in a time crunch to find a home and had a very specific idea of what we were looking for. Mike consistently found properties that were right in line with what we wanted. He provided a wealth of information about the not only the houses, but the neighborhoods and the schools.

This was my first home buying experience, and I couldn't have done it without Mike. I had a multitude of questions which he answered promptly and accurately. He also was a one stop shop with referrals for mortgage and an inspector which made the whole process much easier. Mike was committed to helping me find a property so much so that he gave up time on a Saturday to work with my schedule to help tour a condo. He helped negotiate down the overall price significantly which I didn't think was possible in Austin's crazy market. I also was driving in from Dallas here and there which he accommodated and helped me do my final walk through over FaceTime. Overall, I'm really happy and grateful that Mike helped me buy my first condo and made the process less stressful! Also thankful that Mike is very chill guy who tolerated my stress. 10/10 Realtor will work with him again when I'm ready to sell read more

Life works in mysterious ways at times and you should always be open to what comes your way. We're newish property investors and have been actively seeking properties in TX between San Antonio and Austin when on a flight home (after looking at many properties but not finding one yet) I met a lovely woman and we got to know each other a bit during our short flight to Phoenix. I shared that I was in need of a great investor-friendly realtor in Austin and she said I have the guy for you, Mike Cossette. She forwarded an email market report that Mike sends out regularly which I found incredibly insightful about the Austin market and was quite impressed with the level of detail and fun facts and happenings in the Austin area. I reached out to Mike via email and he responded within the same day and we were off to the races together looking for a multi-family investment property in Austin. This all started in October this year and we recently closed on an awesome duplex in a perfect location in South Austin. Mike has been invaluable to us throughout this entire process and continues to be even post-close. Mike's knowledge of Austin and the surrounding markets is super insightful. He's very good at analyzing a property and helping to strategize about the potential upsides, including making an offer to get the deal done! We really appreciated his strategic thoughts on how best to close on a property that went off-market and a seller that had two deals fall through previously. Mike is incredibly resourceful! We don't know the Austin market well and don't live there. Mike stepped in to be our boots on the ground at his own initiative and went above and beyond to learn as much as he could about this property including calling in local experts, meeting them at the property, and providing us with immediate input from the experts on their assessments of the property so we knew exactly what to expect (the good and the not so good). No stone was left unturned before making an offer and we felt fully informed. We have nothing but praise for Mike and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an investment property or looking for your forever home. He's a phenomenal partner and continues to be. We never felt like we were just another transaction which we have felt with other realtors in the past. We feel like Mike is part of the family now and we look forward to searching for our next property in the near future with him! read more

Could honestly not have asked for anything more!! Mike is not only a great realtor but also a great guy as well. I was new to Austin he provided the guidance I needed to purchase myself a place. Understanding of my schedule, limitations and he made looking for places a lot of fun!!

Don't ever write reviews (1st ever), but in this case felt it was justified to take the time. Honestly, your search for a realtor need not go any further!! read more

Mike was an amazing help selling our property! From the first contact he was responsive, creative, encouraging and a total professional. Other agents told us there was no way we could get what we truly felt our property was worth and pressed us to put it in the market for a much lower price. But we were impressed with Mike and went with him and from day one he was on it! Listed it expertly and got it viewed by the right people and sold super fast for what we wanted. When there was a snag with the appraisal Mike guided us through to an on time closing. Basically, can't say enough good about Mike - he is awesome!! So thankful for his help!!! read more

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. read more
