I cannot recommend Michael Ortega highly enough, whether you are in the market to buy or sell a house. Michael handled both of those transactions for me, selling a large house in a gated community and buying a much smaller house in town. He is an absolutely straight shooter, and will not hide bad news or paint an unduly rosy picture, nor will he try to "cover over" a problem in hopes that others will not notice a defect. He simply has too much integrity to cheat anyone. He advised me well concerning local issues, and finding just the right buyer for my house when it came time to sell.

In that instance, he represented both me and the buyer, and he dealt fairly with us both, negotiating what could have been delicate and dicey issues with equanimity and grace that are rare in this business: nothing rattles the guy! He maintains a sense of calm and proportion in all situations, and that quiet sense of confidence comes from deep experience in the business and knowledge of the market. He also makes himself available 24/7 to answer questions and settle any issues that arise, maintaining regular contact at every point along the way. His innate courtesy, kindness, and quiet charm also make working with him a real pleasure. You really can't do better than having Mike Ortega as your real estate agent.
Mike is one of the finest realtors that anyone could find. I was referred to him and instantly impressed by his professionalism and thoroughness from the beginning. He has been a trusted advisor in everything from finding a home that fits our desires to a potential golf club that fits our needs. He is very knowledgeable in both areas and his golf background is invaluable. This is a second home for us and the comfort Mike gave us throughout the process while sitting several states away was spectacular. I truly trust Mike in many ways that are unspoken in this review and would highly recommend it to anyone needing a trusted realtor in the Jupiter area.

My wife and I highly recommend Mike Ortega for all your real estate services. Mike is the consummate professional and extremely well-versed in the current realty market. We met Mike several years ago when we started looking at a retirement home. Mike did an exceptional job in getting to know us personally and understanding our plans. He stayed in constant contact in a highly volatile market. He found and negotiated the purchase of our new in a very tight timeframe. We had the utmost trust in Mike’s guidance as well as his patience during our journey together. We have also developed a friendship with Mike as a result of the time we have spent together.
I can't recommend Michael Ortega enough. He was vital when it came to getting the price set correctly when we sold our house. I actually thought we should price the house lower! He ended up getting us a full asking price sale on Day 1 of the house going live on the market. When it came to closing the sale and getting through the inspection period and required tasks, he guided us like a true pro. We were able to get it done painlessly and affordably. He even took over much of the work of the buyer's realtor, who was kind of fumbling around. Thank goodness for Michael on this one. If I am buying or selling another home in this area, I will 100% be using Michael Ortega.
I have known Mike for 9 years and when it came time to start looking for a home, the only thing I didn’t need to think about was who to choose as my realtor. I knew that his exceptional customer service, knowledge of the local neighborhoods, responsiveness, and attention to detail would be an unmatched asset in the process. As a first-time homebuyer, I needed every bit of Mike’s expertise in every aspect of the home-buying process, and he delivered in an extremely competitive buying market. After helping to narrow our search to a couple of neighborhoods, Mike assisted in lining up all of the necessary information so that when something came on the market, we would be one of the first to act.

As a first-time homebuyer, I needed every bit of Mike’s expertise in every aspect of the home-buying process, and he delivered in an extremely competitive buying market. After helping to narrow our search to a couple of neighborhoods, Mike assisted in lining up all of the necessary information so that when something came on the market, we would be one of the first to act. This paid massive dividends when a home matching our criteria came on the market and we were able to set up a showing and submit a competitive offer on the first day it was listed. After some negotiations, we had an accepted offer, and then Mike facilitated every aspect leading up to closing. Mike also knows all of the best service providers for loan origination, home insurance, inspection, etc. which only added to the stress-free experience leading up to closing. He has clearly spent so much of his time developing important relationships with providers that share his customer service ethos. In the end, we found what I hope will be the perfect house for my family for many years to come, mostly thanks to Mike. And now just 4 days after closing, Mike has continued to assist with vendors and service providers that he trusts to get the job done right. It could not have been a better process and from horror stories we have heard in this market, we know that Mike was the difference maker. Mike is so far above and beyond the possible 5 stars and I would recommend him to anyone in the market.
It is our pleasure to recommend Mike Ortega. He was extremely helpful and a reliable resource in our search for the best golf community in southern Florida for my husband and me. Under his direction, we explored many golf communities and when we found the perfect one for us, he helped us in purchasing our new home during a time of very limited inventory. We do not think we could have done it without him. Thank you, Mike!
