“There are real estate agents and then there is Mike Shields (and Rebecca!). Mike is a true professional and master of the craft, working tirelessly to support buyers and sellers equally with a powerful network of off-market deals, lenders, agents, inspectors, handymen, you name it - all ready to mobilize to make any deal happen at the moment's notice. Mike brings a wealth of knowledge, a deep expertise of real estate, an uncanny instinct on when to push, and a laser-focus drive to get shit done. There is frankly no better team that we have worked with than Mike and Rebecca and are beyond grateful for their wisdom, warmth, genuineness, and professionalism. Even after the deal, they make every effort to support and check in to make sure we are set up for success. We would be happy to speak to anyone considering Silicon Valley Multifamily Group.”

“This looks like a job for Superman!” That’s the first thought that came to mind as the Successor Trustee for a recently deceased friend. Saddled with the responsibility to resolve the grave financial conditions of the trust’s real estate portfolio, I needed an experienced broker to forestall foreclosure and sell off the assets in order to satisfy the debt and ensure that the beneficiaries would receive the accumulated equity of the real estate. But with all the assets in serious disrepair, numerous code violations, tenant and squatter problems, I needed a broker with more than just sales experience but one who could solve management and financial problems. Thankfully, I was referred to Michael Shields. Michael and Rebecca tackled the problems head-on, engaging attorneys, creditor lenders, banks, law enforcement, and contractors to resolve the financial, legal and operational issues in order to sell the properties. He and Rebecca worked tirelessly to sell the properties within a seemingly unrealistic time frame with numerous problems. I’m pleased to say that not only were the assets sold, but the Trust walked away with more money than was expected! I’ve worked with many professionals in my day, but none have exceeded my expectations like Michael Shields. Thanks Mike and Rebecca, you did a fantastic job!”

“Mike and his entire team did an exceptional job navigating a complicated 1031 exchange for me. He's a hustler, well respected and networked in the industry, and will find a way to get a deal done despite the roadblocks that will inevitably come up in your transaction . I especially appreciated Mike and his team stepping in and helping on aspects of this transaction that are beyond the typical scope of work for an investment broker - no task too big or small. I've now used Silicon Valley Multifamily Group to represent me in both the sale and purchase of a property, and I recommend them highly.”

“I had the opportunity to work with any of a number of other brokers and I can say without any doubt that I made the right choice working with you. You are truly professional and always looked out for the best interest of our family financially. You gave us great advice on the market, walked me through the entire process, and even jumped into the role of property manager when we unexpectedly needed it. You attended multiple conference calls with my family members and were always eager to answer our questions and guide us in an honest and upfront way. While many brokers know the market, you offered us something else we needed which was a trustworthy partner to help us through our sale.”

“Mike, We just wanted to thank you for executing such a smooth 1031 exchange for us. Your marketing of our apartment building was perfect and you found a great buyer at the price we wanted. Then you really listened to our needs and found exactly the upleg we had in mind. We understood that out of state transactions could be tricky. But with your oversight, and Rebecca’s execution, everything from coordinating the contract, working with the attorneys, conducting the due diligence, arranging the financing, and coordinating the escrow was handled well – despite the problems that arose. We knew we could count on you and Rebecca to resolve the many mistakes made by others. In the twelve years we have been working together you have always acted in our best interest. Thank you again for two more successful transactions!"
