Interests:
When I'm not buying, selling or appraising real estate, my hobbies include:

Music
As a Berklee College of Music graduate (Class of 2001), I continue to enjoy listening and playing (drummer) all different kinds of music. The range of styles run the gamut. Rock, Funk, Metal, Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, Hip Hop, Hasidic Reggae....it doesn't matter. If it's good music, I'll happily check it out!

Technology/Social Networking
Whether it's Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, FriendFeed, Brightkite, YouTube, Vimeo, ActiveRain, iLike, Seesmic, Skitch...the list goes on and on and there's a new one added almost every day, I absolutely ADORE the current state of technology and love exploring all the new tricks and tools out there. Most of the time my user name is "RealtorLefebvre" so look for me online! I'm also a raving fan of all things Apple...iMac, iPod, iPhone...yeah, that's me!

Red Sox
I'm a proud card carrying member of The Nation, but it should be noted I am willing to consider working with fans of most other teams... IF they meet certain other criteria. : )

Reading
Granted, a lot of it takes place online nowadays, but I love digesting any and all materials related to marketing and real estate. Sorry if it sounds like a plug, but I am truly passionate about what I do for work and absolutely love to learn new things. Understanding very well that I'll never know it all, I embrace the chance to learn something new each and every day!

Being a Dad
It's the hardest, most demanding, most rewarding and coolest job I've ever had. I am the lucky and extremely proud father of the world's two most perfect kids (not biased, right?). Although I truly love what I do for work, honestly they're the #1 reason I get out of bed and work like a madman every day!

About

Mike Lefebvre: The Uncommon Agent

In addition to being a licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty, I am also a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser. My extensive appraisal experience gives me keen insight into market values which is a benefit to both buyers and sellers alike. For buyers, I make sure they don't pay a penny more than the prospective property is truly worth in today's market. For sellers I make sure they accurately price their property in order to maximize returns and minimize time on market.

Most Realtors can only provide a CMA (comparative market analysis), but I take it one step further and provide my clients with Certified Residential Appraisal, the same report Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require for lending purposes ($300 value).

I have won two national contests for my creative video marketing campaigns, and I guarantee that my marketing program for sellers absolutely blows away what 99.9% of the competition is offering! Gone are the days when a simple yard sign and an MLS listing was all you needed. Call me to see how my comprehensive marketing program, which includes both online and offline strategies, will get your home sold faster and for more money!

In this complex and challenging market, it pays to have someone in your corner with my unique combination of experience. I know how to value properties the way a bank or lender values properties and I take a refreshingly unique approach to marketing real estate in the emerging "new media" world. I look forward to the opportunity to help you with you next property decision and earn your real estate business.

Take care and be well!

Testimonials

"When my wife and I met Mike Lefebvre he instantly put us at ease with our search by really letting us take control of the situation. He never brought us to homes that were out of our price range or desired neighborhoods. This is because he took the time to get to know what we were really looking for in our first home purchase. Mike conformed to our schedule and would meet us at listings wherever and whenever we asked him. Mike always stayed positive even when the frustration of weeding though the seemingly endless inventory of homes was most evident on our faces. Mike seemed to know that our house was out there just waiting for us and he had the patience to stay with us until we found it. We never felt pressured with Mike. He has a very calming way about him that gave us a great feeling of trust in him. When we did find our home Mike was there with us through the whole process of making the offer and signing the P & S. He also accompanied us on the home inspection and to the closing. Having heard many stories from family and friends about their bad experiences with other agents, Mike broke all the stereotypes for us. He was very professional and at the same time very personable, lending his great sense of humor to the often times intimidating undertaking of buying a home. Mike knows the business very well but most of all Mike knows how to listen to his clients. We would recommend Mike Lefebvre to anyone looking for a great experience searching for and purchasing a new home. He truly is The Uncommon Agent!"
John and Nora Finn, First Time Home Buyers Fri Feb 20
"Mike is one of the most innovative real estate brokers I have ever met in my twenty-one years as a real estate attorney. He utilizes his technical savvy along with his creative marketing approaches to expose his client's properties to prospective purchasers who would surely be overlooked by most conventional brokers. With a background as an appraiser, Mike is an expert at positioning each listing at the right price point to draw traffic to the property. Results...that's what Mike is all about...and my clients could not be happier."

"As a first time home buyer I couldn’t help but go into the home buying process with my worries perked. I met Mike after looking at several other properties. He was showing a lovely condo that I “just had to” look at. My agent and I were able to get in right away and take a look. We were graciously met by Mike. He showed us around the unit for a while talking and asking questions but then stepped back a bit to let us poke around on our own. That is what I really liked. He was very knowledgeable on the unit and the seller himself and what he wasn’t sure of he got answers for us right away (literally). Even after the first viewing, Mike was right there when we wanted to go look at it again and was wonderful at keeping the lines of communication open. I passed on my first home on June 13th and couldn’t be happier with the place and with the process as a whole. Mike Lefebvre is polite, genuine and I could tell that he cares very much for his work and that, to me, shows integrity. For me, it’s the little things that build a moment and Mike was effortlessly right on to help make this moment and still put a smile on my face. I thank you, Mike."

"Mike and the services that he provides are true asset to my company and without him I would be able to provide the same level of service to my clients."
Seth Cohen, Heritage Home Funding Sun Nov 18, 2007
"Mike is great at what he does. The value that he places on a person's home is right in line with the current market trends. He is proactive when there are issues and resolves them in a timely manner. I continue to rely on Mike as a trusted business associate. Sincerely, Frank J. Farley Mortgage Planner"
Frank Farley, Stockton Turner, LLC Mon Nov 19, 2007
"In the predictable world of real estate where old school tactics and "good enough" attitudes are commonplace, Mike stands out. His knowledge of the real estate market extends well past showing houses and putting in offers. He is a master at marketing your house, understanding the trends of the area, and he's an appraiser too. He wields his dual expertise like a ninja with 2 swords! This hybrid model makes Mike the best value for your money."
Gregory Ng, Homeowner Thu Jan 10, 2008
"Mike is a great resource for all things related to the real estate market. He is an excellent appraiser and very detail oriented. Mike is a trusted advisor and good friend, and can be counted on to come through on any occasion. He is very loyal and hard working, and his creativity and drive for success makes him an excellent business owner. He has a very loyal customer base he has built through his professional approach and dedicated focus on customer service. I recommend Mike 110%!"
Scott Dumais, Homeowner Thu Jun 12, 2008
"Mike has been extremely helpful trying to sell our home. He had great, innovative ideas for marketing our home...ideas no other broker we interviewed had ever considered. We were trying to sell on our own, and Mike tried to help even before we hired him. There was never any pressure...we called him when we were ready to hand it over to a real estate broker. He spent a lot of time researching to be sure we were asking the right price for our home...both in the beginning and throughout the selling process. We have a very difficult home and property to sell, and Mike has hung in there with us all the way, going beyond where I think other brokers would have gone. Thanks for all your hard work, Mike."
