We are currently in the process of buying our first home. Mike has been extremely helpful and is well connected in the local community, and has relationships with the right lawyers, brokers, etc. Great combination of personable and professional and is willing to meet us where we are. I like that he gives a free energy audit on any home you purchase. Mike is great!

As first time home-buyers, we were new to the process and had many questions. Mike not only answered our questions but he took great care in listening and made sure that we felt comfortable with each step of the process along the way. Mike not only understands the market but also the important community aspects of the area. Mike worked hard to understand exactly what we were interested in and was fantastic in helping us formulate the pros and cons of different options in our budget. We ended up in our dream home and could not be happier. We credit Mike with making our home buying experience such an enjoyable one and helping to make our home a reality. We would recommend him to anyone. Less

Our experience with Mike Figura was a very positive one. Not only is he an easy going guy but very detailed and knowledgable about the real estate market. He gave us advice on prepping the home before listing it on the market and knew the right asking price. The home was sold in one day for the full price. We would highly recommend his expertise to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Mike is an awesome!!! He made the home buying process as easy as it could be considering I was relocating from the San Diego area! He was generous with his time and efforts when it came to finding/buying the right home in West Asheville. He went above and beyond my expectations! He is down-to-earth, well-informed and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. His integrity and work ethic speaks for itself.

Mike Figura is an absolutely wonderful realtor. I would recommend him to anyone. Here are the main reasons why I rated him so highly: 1. He sells houses fast. My house was sold within less than two months of being on the market. A house in my neighborhood that is almost identical to mine and roughly the same cost has been on the market over 2 years now. 2. He knows how to stage a home and will help you do it. 3. He brought in a professional photographer and videographer that was able to accentuate the good aspects of the home while minimizing the lesser desired features (such as it's smaller size). The photographer even came multiple times to get the house at its very best sunlight. 4. He marketed the house according the latest research on what sells homes (for example strong internet marketing and a realtor open house). 5. He explained each step of the process clearly and thoroughly. 6. He is exceedingly easy to work with. Less

From my first call to Mike, I was impressed with his enthusiasm and knowledge. I talked with several agents before choosing Mike to list our home. We've been very pleased with his professionalism in the sale of our home! Now we are searching for a property to buy and using Mike as our buyer's agent. He's been helpful in narrowing down the list with his knowledge of construction and familiarity of the Asheville market. He's so efficient and very pleasant to work with. We highly recommended Mike to anyone buying or selling! Less

Mike was a pleasure to work with. We had a demanding set of needs, and we never felt pressured as he patiently helped us to identify our priorities and consider options we might otherwise have overlooked. His experience allowed him to speak with authority and trustworthiness on everything involved with the purchase of our home (and beyond ? he even helped contribute to our remodeling plans). He is an approachable, down-to-earth guy who knows the business and comes highly recommended. ?M. Frederick & R. Seal Less

Mike is great in every way imaginable. Very knowledgeable of the local market, extremely responsive and understanding, and very easy to work with. Mike represents the best of what a real estate agent can be, honestly. He took the time to get know my family, so that he could better pursue homes that fit our needs and interests. I know that if any of our family or friends need a real estate agent, Mike would be the first person I would recommend.

Many testimonials are written about Mike Figura?s wonderful abilities as a realtor. My experience as a buyer is that he had deep patience with me as I dabbled, looking for a home for more than a year. Then when I decided it was the right time to buy, he provided effective guidance resulting in a purchase agreement within days and closing within weeks. If it weren?t for Mike, I probably would still be wondering about buying. I feel that Mike was respected by all involved--the seller?s realtor, the seller, the banker, the home inspector, the attorney--attesting to his knowledge, integrity and ability to communicate. I know Mike put full effort into making sure I got into the house I wanted, all the while making it very easy for me. I highly recommend Mike as a trustworthy, effective, intelligent realtor.

When we were contemplating a move to Asheville, we read the online reviews and comments concerning real estate agents that had been posted by other buyers and sellers of real estate. The comments about Mike Figura were uniformly positive. We then reviewed Mike's description of his background, and we were impressed by his obvious commitment to the environment, both in his undergraduate education and in his career since graduation. We asked Mike to be our buyer's agent, and we could not be more pleased with him, both as a person and as a highly competent professional. After reviewing numerous online listings of homes for sale in and around Asheville, we sent Mike our "A-list." He prepared a very efficient itinerary of home visits, and we were able to see all of the houses on that list in the course of a day. Mike's insights into the qualities and drawbacks of the various properties were extremely helpful, as was his understanding of the home buying process. Further, because he's quite knowledgeable about home construction and materials, Mike can provide information that other agents (without such in-depth knowledge) can't offer. We focused on a specific house and arranged for a follow-up visit. By that time we were extremely interested in purchasing our number one choice. When we had a follow-up question about an aspect of the house, Mike immediately called the owner, and he learned that two other couples were also quite interested in the house, and that an offer was expected from at least one of those couples. Mike worked with us to structure an offer that ultimately resulted in us purchasing a home. Throughout this process, Mike has been extraordinarily responsive and helpful. He returned calls and texts in record time, and the fact that he stayed on top of the process was, we believe, the reason we were the successful bidders. We would not hesitate to recommend Mike Figura as a buyer's agent, and we are certain he would perform equally well as a seller's agent. Less

5 out of 5 for Mike Figura and his Mosaic Realty. We have moved all over the US, dealing with many realtors, and Mike is the best. He thoroughly researched the market, took great pains to understand all the green features of our house, gave us good advice on how best to highlight them, and invested considerable time and resources to develop excellent marketing materials, including pictures and videos. Last but not least,Mike is a great guy, a good communicator and has the highest integrity.

Mike made the home buying process enjoyable and as easy as possible. He guided me every step of the way, and went above and beyond to be available to show me homes, make offers, and for the closing process. Mike is friendly, well-informed about the local market, and a really practical business person. I really enjoyed working with him, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to a friend or use him again.

We found Mike to be very honest and straight forward. He knows the market in Asheville and can help you get the most out of your property. He was able to get our house under contract in 6 days and now we are the ex-owners! In the future he will be the first person we call if we are buying or selling.

From the first moment I spoke with Mike, I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Mike did an outstanding job for us. Words cannot express how grateful I am for everything he has done for us. Mike is very thorough, does his homework, and provided us with a thorough review of the Asheville real estate market. In addition, he is one of the nicest agents we have ever dealt with. Dean White

As an out of state buyer with significant real estate experience I required an objective professional to assist me in identifying a house that met my personal and investment criteria. Mike Figura exceeded my expectations for every step of the process. After providing me with an overview of the Asheville market and its neighborhoods, we we able to narrow my search to West Asheville as the most appropriate location for my goals. He selected the houses for us to see that represented my criteria in order to make the process as efficient as possible. His professional approach to identifying the pros and cons of each house and location helped me to narrow it down to the house I selected for purchase. As a result of his thorough research and analysis I trusted his judgement and advice. Based upon that analysis of the recent sales comps I became comfortable with the valuation and made an offer, which was accepted by the seller. He was there for every step of the process until and at the closing. I strongly recommend Mike Figura to anyone looking into the Asheville market. Less

A relative passed away and her house was located 600 miles from the rest of the family in Illinois. Mike provided some preliminary information regarding the properties in the area and some "ball park" numbers for the us to work with. The attorney handling the estate took over the selling process and chose an agent in his office. However, Mike was right on the money with listing/selling price information and neighborhood facts. His response time was very quick and he had a thorough knowledge of the Asheville area. He would have been the family's choice for the sale of the property. Less

Mike has always provided me with clear and honest facts for all my real estate needs. Excellent analysis and clear communication. He works with integrity.

We have worked closely with Mike on several Green Built Homes in West Asheville, and he has been accurate, assertive and relaxed as we work through the complex details involved in designing and building homes in this complex market. He has been an excellent addition to our team.

Mike earned 5 stars all around! Our house was in great condition so he recommended not to worry about touch up painting or other minor maintenance but focus on staging and decluttering. I think this was excellent advice and made our house show great, according to the other agents. His photographer took great looking photos which made all the difference in making our listing stand out online and attract potential buyers. We had four offers on the first day of showings and Mike ended up negotiating a higher than asking sales price. I don't think we would've gotten more or sold as quickly with a higher asking price either. This was the smoothest house sale I can imagine thanks to his knowledge of the process and negotiating skills. On top of all the professional expertise Mike is a great guy and a pleasure to work with! Less

I highly recommend Mike! He took over a listing that had been on the market through another realtor for over 2 years and negotiated a contract in months. The property was in a tough location that required some creativity and extra effort. Mike found a special financing program for which the subject property qualified. Using this program Mike was able to secure a contract in a short time. Mike is not a realtor that gets a listing and sits back and waits for another realtor to sell the property. Even in a difficult location Mike found a good marketing tool which he used to close a win/win deal. Job well done Mike! Thanks! Less

I interviewed three other realtors before meeting and hiring Mike. He helped me sell my home in the Kenilworth community in a record- breaking 2 1/2 weeks. He then helped me navigate a very complicated situation to purchase the home of my dreams. Mike's skills and knowledge as a realtor are truly impressive, but what sets him apart is the personal care and communication style he brings to his work. He asks insightful questions, listens carefully and communicates clearly. He was always accessible, patient and flexible. He is deeply committed to doing his job well; but even more importantly (to me), he is deeply committed to developing client relationships based on trust, respect and kindness. Less

We just purchased our home in Asheville, NC and Mike patiently walked through each step with us. Mike Figura was an absolute joy to work with as our buyer's agent. From the beginning, Mike helped us to narrow down housing lists according to our needs and desired locations, he helped us to work with lenders, and walked us through to the closing. We had looked at houses with other agents in the last few years, and never felt cared for --- but Mike was the exact opposite! I cannot express enough how much Mike helped to make our home search and purchase a low stress, fun and creative experience. We felt entirely comfortable working with Mike and he was extremely open and honest with us. His knowledge of building codes, the local housing market and market trends really made us feel safe and secure. We worked out a great purchase price on the home and could not have been happier with Mike. I agree with other posts here: Mike was always available by phone or in person to discuss - and he definitely had our best interests at heart. We felt that he was caring for us and I will recommend Mike to every single person that asks me about real estate! Less

We recently purchased our first home in West Asheville. When we first started the home buying process we were scattered to say the least. After a couple of internet searches, it was clear we needed help. We scoured the internet for agents, reading reviews and checking out websites. It didn?t take long for Mike Figura to rise to the top of our list. His reviews were phenomenal, website thorough and he answered the phone the first time we called. Mike made what could have been a stressful and confusing experience fun and simple. He was completely honest with us; we never felt he was just after a sale. He showed consistent knowledge of this area and market. Mike worked to get us the best house for the best deal and he was honest and fair on all fronts. We never felt that his goal was anything other than to get us in the best house for us as possible. He always answered our phone calls, emails and first-time-home-buyer jitters with respect and in a timely manner. We felt that he truly cared about us and have already recommended him to our friends and family. We will definitely be using Mike when we are ready to buy again! Less

Mike is the first realtor I have worked with who stayed within my price range and geographic area. My closing was difficult due to some insurance issues as I had a house fire in my recent past. Mike came up with many different ideas during the process to allow me to close on the home I wanted. I would recommend (and have) Mike Figura to anyone looking for a home in the Asheville area. He really knows his stuff.

Mike helped us buy a home this October and is currently in the process of selling our old home. Given an unusual list of wants and a tight buget, Mike helped us buy the perfect house for us and got us a fantasic price. He is extremely knowledgeable, flexible, and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for real estate in Asheville.

"MikeFigura with Mosaic Realty is an energetic, involved, helpful andinnovative agent with new and lucrative ideas. A joy to work with! He even gets along with a grumpy old man who gets too excited sometimes. And he cares about the environment. His marketing techniquesproduced results even in this difficult market. "

Mike has been my exclusive listing agent for almost a year now, and continues to impress me and surpass my expectations. He is an honest and compassionate person. He is also diligent and extremely knowledgable about our market. When it comes to negotiations, he is savvy and successful. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Asheville market.

I can't recommend Mike highly enough. I've bought a number of homes over my years and though most of my realtors have been nice, and many have worked with me on my terms, Mike went above and beyond to really listen to us, get to know us and help us find an amazing house that we LOVE! He even handled a situation where my husband and I didn't quite see eye-to-eye on what we were looking for with ease. He talked to us both, listened and gave us excellent advice about what he thought would work best for us and satisfy both our goals...and he was right...we couldn't be happier. We ended up building a house and he worked with us and our builder (which he helped us find) to ensure that the house had all the elements we were looking for and at a fair price. You will be very happy working with Mike...he really is amazing and clearly loves his job! Less

My wife and I contacted Mike Figura after receiving his advertising in the mail. His market analysis was thorough and well researched. We hired Mike to be our listing agent and he got results! As sellers in a very difficult market, Mike worked professionally and skillfully in marketing and advising us at every step. His ideas and negotiating skills were perfect for our needs and we would highly recommend Mike to sellers and buyers. Thank you Mike. John and Sherry Hoke

Mike was a fantastic realtor from start to finish. The fact that he has a lot of knowledge and experience with construction and green building was a big plus. We had a very hard to find set of criteria and Mike was extremely helpful in focusing our search, and then - Eureka! - after we found what we wanted he helped us do expert due-diligence, and he negotiated a great purchase price, and advised us on our extensive renovation plans.

We relocated to Asheville from another city and couldn't have asked for a better home buying experience than with Mike Figura. I could go on and on about his depth of knowledge of the real estate market, city planning trends and structural/environmental issues. What impressed us the most is that there was no obstacle he couldn't overcome. He was professional, personable, well organized and treated us like we were his only clients even though we knew he had many more. Mike was a tiger in negotiating our contract and got us a very attractive deal. If we ever decide to move again, Mike will be our first phone call. Less

I HIGHLY recommend working with Mike. After some not-so-great experiences with realtors, we tried to sell our house ourselves for several months, and I finally realized the benefits of having an agent. Within a month, Mike sold our house at a price we were very happy with. And throughout the process, he was always helpful, kind, and efficient. He's very professional, he knows green building, and he knows how to negotiate on your behalf.
