Michael was most knowledgeable about the area and available homes. He was easy to work with and follow-thru was excellent. I was most apprehensive about buying (I just moved from California) and a recent widow with no knowledge of the process, and he was most patient with me. You just can’t go wrong calling on Michael Lescher!

We have known Michael for 3 years now. In 2008 he showed us numerous lake houses and we purchased one as a weekend/summer home.In 2010 Michael listed our primary residence and it sold in less than a month. We subsequently replaced our primary residence with another home that Michael showed us and we absolutely love!We currently have our weekend/summer home up for sale or rent with Michael but it should be completed soon with a sale or rental.Each time we have worked with Michael we were confident that he truly understood what we were looking for in a home. We didn't have to waste time looking at homes that weren't within our parameters for size, style, and money.Michael was patient with us and above all honest. I would truly reccomend him to anyone wishing to buy or sell their home.

The best agent in the area. Michael sold two homes for me in the last two months. One house in Fox Lake and the other a Townhouse in Round Lake. The first sold within two weeks. Really good. The Townhouse was listed on a Friday and by the next day we had showing appointment and three buyers bidding more than the asking price. That was incredible and it was not by chance. Michael knows the business well. I’m getting another property ready soon for Michael to list for me.

I had a difficult situation in selling a house. I am the Power Of Attorney for a 83 year old relative and I live in another state which is an approx.. 6 hour drive from the house. My relative lived alone, was hospitalized and the moved to a nursing facility and finally to an assisted living facility. The house needed some repairs before it could be put on the market. Michael found contractors to do the work and supervised them to make sure everything was done correctly. When the work was completed, Michael listed the house and we had a firm offer within a week. We closed 4 weeks later. This was done without my having to travel to the house to handle things myself. I totally relied on the advice and guidance of Michael. Without his help it would have taken many months to complete the sale. Michael knows the business, the market, and most of all, how to sell. Thanks Michael for all your help and direction.

I can not even count the number of houses Michael Lescher set up for us to see. I really don't know how many agents would have lasted with us. The house we finally purchased was a short sale. We first saw this house a yr. ago. Too many houses in-between to count. We would call Michael in the morning and say hey we would like to see these houses can you set up for the afternoon, and as many as he could we had appointments. If he does not answer his cell - guaranteed he will call back very shortly. Michael was a driving force with the listing agent to help move this sale along. We knew there was nothing short about a short sale, but Michael did manage to help us over all hurdles we encountered. Michael is very familiar with the area we were looking in. If we came across something he was not sure of - we were confident that he (Michael) would get the correct info for us. Both my husband and I would highly reccommend Michael Lescher as an agent. It goes without saying if we were in the market to buy a house Michael would be our agent!

Michael was recommended to us by Sean Gaughan from AZ, where we were living at the time of our sale in Fox Lake. Michael was without a doubt, the best realtor we have ever had. He kept us in the loop, helped connect us with contractors for minor repairs and got us a full cash price offer on our home within a month of listing the property! We cannot thank Michael enough!!!,

When we were going to sell our house we automatically called Michael. His knowledge on the area and lakefront houses were unsurpassed. We have had a great experience with him and now consider him a good friend. The only other thing better is to have the housing market come back.

Michael recently helped my husband and I navigate this challenging real estate market and we just closed on a dream house in a new town! Michael was always available to us for showings or to answer questions. He expertly negotiated the offers we made and helped us understand the local market and buying process (we're from a different state). Additionally he has a very good network of professionals for his clients to use. This was hands down the easiest real estate transaction we have ever been a part of. Thanks Michael!

As a first time home buyer I had more questions than you can imagine. Michael always took the time to fully explain everything to me and patiently answered any question I had no matter how small. He helped me find the perfect home for my needs and budget and did not stop trying until we found the right place (this was admittedly not an easy task). I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Michael is a long time family friend so when it was time for us to sell our house and start our retirment in S Carolina he was who we called. Michael knows all the ins and out of real-estate. The lady who bought our house used michael as well. Even though our closing was the same day as our closing on our new house in SC. Michael made it posiable for us to be in SC to sign on our new house as Vickie was signing on our Fox Lake house. What a wonderful experience Thank You Michael for helping us live our dream .

For the record... We used Michael to sell our current home and purchase or new home.
Michael was great and very responsive to all of our needs. He was very knowledgeable about the area and is a great judge of character. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael for the sale of your current home or the purchase of your new home.

When I decided to sell my lakefront home in July 2011, I contacted and interviewed four Lake County realtors who evaluated my home and suggested a list price. All of the realtors offered approximately the same range for home pricing, services, listing sites (online, MLS, etc.), and advertising media.
Michael, however, distinguished himself from the others on several counts. I listed my home with him in mid-July. He exhibited extraordinary knowledge of the history and current situation in the housing market. He serves as the corporate vice president of ReMax Showcase. His entire support team, office staff and Real Estate Attorney, proved to be very professional, competent, and I enjoyed working with them. All provided excellent, prompt, friendly service.
Michael presented me with a contract offer on my home on July 27 after 8 buyer showings. At this point his intelligence and eloquence as a negotiator proved invaluable. All realtors offer virtually the same services, but a few of these are unique to the best in this business. The ability to negotiate a successful contract is vital and this is one of Michael’s greatest talents. His tenacity came to bear in researching and finding examples of a number of comparable home sales that supported the asking price. His persistence and business savvy resulted in a signed contract on August 4. Much to my delight, the sell price was higher than I (and the other 3 realtors I interviewed a month before) had expected. Closing on my property was successfully completed September 14.
My entire experience with Michael as my realtor was excellent. His calm, steadfast demeanor, exceptional communication skills and business acumen enabled me to make informed decisions with confidence throughout the process. Michael is a pleasure to work with and I recommend him highly, without reservation, as a listing or selling Real Estate professional.

I already knew I'd be using Michael when it came time to sell my house. I'm pretty impatient but he always had time to give me advice and answer my questions. Now I'm buying and if course wouldn't want to have anyone but Michael helping me!

I've known Michael for 20 years but it was not until recently that my wife and I decided to buy a home in the Chain of Lakes area. Michael's knowledge of local homes and the nuances of each geographic area were the original reasons we selected him as our agent. However, it was his negotiation skills that were the key to us buying our retirement home. He was persistent in the face of multiple obstacles and always kept us well informed. It was his expertise and years of experience that allowed us to find a way to bring closure to a deal. It would probably had fallen through if he had not been so diligent and creative. I highly recommend Michael and his team!

top notch job from the start to the finish, his team is number one in my books, they had an offer on the house within 2 days of listing it (very pleased with the offer) and finalized the deal 30 days after it was listed...amazing job

He was very helpful and sold the home in a month with a good price. He was very quick in dealing with the house. I was a distance from the home that was sold and he handled everything very efficiently.
