Michael Milano
Real Estate Professional
A real estate agent since 2007, Michael Milano has involved himself in all aspects of the business so he can deliver a one-stop shop of services to his clients. His all-inclusive solutions, along with his personable nature and true professionalism, have earned Michael a steady stream of referral and repeat clients that shows no signs of slowing down.
Despite his strong track record, Michael believes there’s always room for improvement and looks for ways to add value to others and the community, whether through local businesses or events. He always makes himself available and takes the time to understand his clients’ needs so he can exceed their goals and expectations. He also tests different tools and approaches to ensure that each buyer and seller he serves has the advantage.
A third-generation native of Novato, California, Michael also has expert knowledge of the local housing market and exclusive access to off-market homes. While growing up in Marin, he attended Our Lady of Loretto and Marin Catholic, where he played team sports and learned the spirit of collaboration. He’s never strayed far from the area: He got his associate degree at the College of Marin and a B.A. with an emphasis in interpersonal communication at San Francisco State University.
When not giving his clients the inside scoop on Marin and its real estate market, Michael finds time to give back to his community, one that his family has served for decades. (His grandfather was mayor of Novato in the mid to late 1970s and has been Michael’s lifelong inspiration.) He also stays involved in industry organizations and currently serves as director on the board of directors for the Marin Association of Realtors®. Michael and his wife have three children — with another on the way — and are grateful to be raising the fourth generation of Milanos in Marin.

“Michael is a joy to work with. He's attentive, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. We selected Michael as our broker because he was fully prepared with pricing information for our home and knew everything about our neighborhood that was going to be of use to prospective buyers.”
“My wife and I worked with Michael as buyers and also for the sale of our home. I have worked with many agents over the years and Michael was by far the best real estate agent I have worked with. His knowledge, communication, and attention to detail was outstanding. I completely trusted him throughout all aspects of our transactions and knew that he always had our best interests in mind. I look forward to working with Michael again on our next transaction and I will be referring Michael to family and friends whenever possible.”
“Mike worked incredibly hard for our family. He was able to help us sell our home and purchase a new home within an incredibly tight timeline, all while being courteous and positive. Mike is a wonderful agent and person. We could not recommend him enough.”
“Mike was amazing to work with during our entire home buying process. We never felt rushed and his calmness was just what we needed as first time homebuyers. He was always available when we had questions and made the whole process so smooth and easy. Highly recommend Mike as a realtor.”
“Michael exceeded our expectations! He was with us every step of the way, for the purchase of our new home, and sale of our old home. We bought before we sold, which added more complexity, and Mike was there to walk us through the process. He was always available, and his cool demeanor came in handy more than once. Our home went well over asking and was priced perfectly. I will recommend Michael to any who asks how we where able to pull off a killer real estate deal.”
“Michael was amazing while finding our first home. He didn't miss any potential listing, was always available via text or call, and was entirely responsible for finding our eventual home. We were looking at houses in a specific price range and Michael showed us a house outside of our range, but since it had a rental unit, it ultimately penciled as a house at the lower end of our price range for more space inside and out, than anything else we had viewed - by far! We would have never found our new home without Michael thinking outside-of-the-box with his finger on the pulse of Marin County real estate.”
“Mike is the calm in the storm that is buying a home. He is a steadying influence who will patiently but in a focused manner lead you to getting your new home. He is a not a "hard sell". He is honest. Mike helped my wife and I get our new home in a very competitive market without breaking the bank. We appreciated his connections with the other agents in the community, his "down to earth" approach, and his unflappable confidence that the goal will be accomplished. We highly recommend him.”
“Mike was wonderful! We wouldn’t have been able to sell and purchase without him. The process was seamless. We couldn’t recommend him enough. We appreciate his professionalism and expertise.”
“Mike was amazing at helping us purchase our first home in Novato. We were nervous to start the process, but Mike guided us through every step of the way and made everything come together seamlessly. We would absolutely recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“Michael was a great realtor to work with. When we requested to see several homes, he was able to quickly set up those appointments and was very transparent with where each was in the process. When we made an offer, Michael was responsive, efficient and reassuring. He stayed in contact with us throughout the process and answered all of our questions. We definitely would recommend him to others in their home buying process!”
“Mike was recommended by friends and we couldn't have been more pleased with his help, professionalism and expertise. As first-time homebuyers, Mike patiently helped walk us through the process and explained each step. His local knowledge of all of Marin County and extensive networking connections helped guide us on a number of occasions. He explained our options and earnestly communicated with other agents to make us a priority. My wife and I would highly recommend his representation to both buyers and sellers.”
“I don't know how we would have gotten through this process without Mike. He was very patient with us, answering our calls right away for even the smallest of questions, there were a lot. He took us to see many great properties and worked hard for us negotiating for us the best possible deal. His knowledge of the local area made sure we found exactly the property we wanted for the price we were comfortable with. Buying a home can be a very stressful and daunting experience but his patience, hard work, honesty and integrity made the process easy. I would recommend Mike Milano in a heart beat for anybody looking to buy a home.”
