Mike was raised in Woodland Park and graduated from Woodland Park High school..yes it was a little while ago. Carole grew up in Colorado Springs and graduated from Palmer high school...not quite as long ago.
"We started our search for a 2nd home on Zillow and within minutes of selecting several properties in the Woodland Park/Green Mountain Falls area we received a call from Carol Orist. Carol's low pressure, but very knowledgeable and professional approach to our search was much appreciated, and as a team Mike & Carol put us at ease during our first visit to numerous properties in the area. A week later we found a property on-line that seemed right for us, but we could not get to Colorado for a visit because of work issues. Carol & Mike conducted a video tour for us and also a detailed walk through that was thorough enough for us to write a contract without a personal visit to the house. Mike navigated us through the negotiations, including finding a lender and inspector, and insurance agent to cleanly close on the property in less than 30 days! This was a wonderful way for us to end 2017. We are very happy with our new getaway home. Thank you Mike & Carol!!"
Oklahoma ClientsBuyer"You couldn't ask for a better realtor than Mike Orist. Our family lost our father and needed to sell
his house quickly. Mike guided us through the process, got things done fast, and was always
professional and friendly. The house listed and was under contract in 5 days. We were amazed.
Mike and his wife Carol worked hard to keep everything on track even when things came up like
last minute septic work, taking care of peeling paint, and and the paperwork complexities of our
situation with the house. His knowledge of the area and the fact he grew up here was a definite
plus. I look forward to working with him again and I highly recommend him as a realtor."
BrianSeller"Mike helped me sell my property via online auction and it was a great experience. He took care of everything, all I did was sit back and watch the bids accumulate. I ended up selling my property for more than I expected, with no headaches. He is a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend him."
Lawerance DragoSeller"We are out of state purchasers who were very interested in buying property in the Rockies. Well
from first contact until closing day I couldn't have asked for a Better representative for myself than
Mike and Carole. He stayed in contact with us and sent info to match exactly what we were looking
for. Once we arrived in Co. to view properties we were immediately treated like family. They had our
interests so zeroed in that the first property viewed was the last. Mike and Carole took us by the
hand right through to closing . Above and beyond is the phrase I would use for there dedication.
Mike and Carole, thank you for everything and we will see you when we come in Jan."
Mike and SharronBuyers"We were out of state transplants. So seeing a home in person sometimes wasn't possible. Mike &
Carole would preview & Skype us. It was so helpful. As realtors they showed tireless
professionalism & kindness. The only problem we have is we can't give them 6 stars!"
Craig and MarissaBuyers"Mike and Carole were fantastic to work with. They were always accessible and assisted with the never ending paperwork. They made this stressful process helping us find pour perfect home easy and helped us every step of the way. Thank you Mike and Carole."
Constanze StraderBuyer"Mike and his wife Carole were both wonderful to work with. They answered our hundreds of questions over the time we worked with them intelligently and gave us great insights in adapting to our new mountain residence. We were not in a huge hurry to find a new home, and they patiently worked with us for over a year until we found the property that suited us best. There was no pressure to buy simply to make a sale, and they took note of all our thoughts on each home we looked at in order to scour the market for one that would be ideal. They helped us both buy our new home and sell the old one once we decided on the move. I can't say enough about all the time and energy they put in for us, from showing properties to explaining differences between lifestyles in the various areas we were considering to tips on making a quick sale on our previous home."
Brian and MargoBuyer and Seller"Had a fantastic experience with Mike and Carole. Selling your dream house can be quite daunting, but every step was smooth sailing with Mike and Carole. Would use them again if had more real estate to sell."
Cynthia KovacevichSeller"Mike was an amazing partner to us. He was patient, listened, understood our needs, and actively
sought out properties that aligned. He allocated one full day to look at properties as we were
out-of-state buyers and after several hours, eagerly agreed to trek 90 min round trip for a 2nd
viewing in the same day to the house we ended up purchasing. Mike is not only a true business
partner, but he is honest, candid, objective, and seeks to ensure a top notch buyer experience. Not
only did we have the best Buyer's Agent, we also know have 2 new friends in Mike and his wife
Carole."
