Working with michael was so simple, straightforward, and personal. Highly recommend consider reaching out to him and at least starting a conversation about your next home move whether buying or selling!

Michael was incredibly dedicated throughout our home-buying journey. He made sure to be on top of our needs and went above and beyond, even FaceTiming us during showings when we couldn’t be there in person. Michael was always available to talk through details, giving us a lot of his time and effort. While we had differing opinions on strategies at times, his commitment to helping us find the right home was unwavering, and in the end, we are very happy with our new place. If you’re looking for an agent who will put in the work and make sure you’re taken care of, Michael is a great choice.

Not enough good things can be said about Michael! He really takes the time to get to know his clients and is super knowledgeable about the areas we were house hunting in. Being first time homebuyers is scary and overwhelming but Michael made the process super easy to understand. We had a situation in which we were so close to closing then ended up having to pull out of the contract, and while we were discouraged, Michael stayed optimistic and quickly found us an amazing home. He advocates for his clients and ensures they’re getting the best deal possible. Our home buying journey was an emotional rollercoaster and he rode it with us the whole way. We...

I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience I had working with Michael. He is knowledgeable, professional, and went above and beyond throughout the entire home buying process. If you are looking for an agent who delivers on what is promised and makes the process enjoyable, Michael is your guy.

We had the pleasure of working with Michael Hippchen as our realtor when my wife and I were searching for a house in Richmond, Virginia. From the moment we met him, it was evident that Michael was a knowledgeable and resourceful professional who was deeply familiar with the local area. His expertise and dedication made our home-buying venture a truly valuable experience. One of the things we appreciated most about Michael was his willingness to educate us throughout the process. As first-time homebuyers, we had numerous questions and concerns, and Michael patiently provided us with all the necessary information. He took the time to explain the intr...

My husband and I had a great experience working with Michael as our Realtor! We've known Michael through friends for years and were glad to know that when we decided to start our home search, he was there to help. He knows the Richmond area very well; is very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible; and brings a lot of enthusiasm and perspective to the home buying experience. We would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to buy in the Richmond area. Thank you, Michael, for helping us find our first home! :)

There were many headwinds faced during our sales listing that Michael navigated with grace, good candor and professionalism. We faced high mortgage interest rates, a winter listing weeks before the holidays, and unfortunately an embarrassingly unprofessional realtor/broker representing the buyer (which taught me age and experience are not earmarks for a qualified professional). Michael was quick on his feet, welcomed all questions, and outlined the process in clear detail. At a time where everyone is a realtor (including your dentist), Michael has stood out amongst the pack. We sold in 3 days, had very competitive bids, and the open house Michael ca...

My husband and I had a great experience working with Michael to buy our first home in Richmond! His knowledge of the city of Richmond and his personal perspective as a homeowner and parent were invaluable to navigating a highly competitive market. We communicated often and easily, and we were able to look at many great houses in several neighborhoods during our search. We learned a ton during the process. In the end, Michael found an unlisted off-market house through his professional connections, leading to the purchase of our dream home in The Fan. We highly recommend Michael!

I worked with Michael Hippchen to sell my mothers home recently. He helped us get this sold in the timeframe we needed and was the best to work with. He was thoughtful and very communicative whenever I needed something or to talk me off a ledge as that can be needed when selling a home. He brought qualified buyers and helped us get the number we needed. If I were to ever buy or sell a home in Richmond or Virginia again I would call him. He takes care of his clients because he understands how stressful it can be. Rest assured he will get you in or out of your home and then take you for ice cream. Thank you for everything!

From Instagram acquaintances to my real estate agent! Michael was amazing from day one, being honest with the good and bad each home had, he stood with us and for us. Couldn’t of had asked for a better experience. Not to skip ahead but can’t wait to have Michael as our real estate agent again!

I was referred to Michael by a friend, and I would gladly refer him to anyone looking to buy a house in the Richmond and surrounding area. My experience couldn't have been any better (not exaggerating). As a first time home-buyer, I had a lot of questions and he walked me through the process slowly and made it seem easy despite the many steps the process took. We only spent 1 day looking at houses in person. We negotiated a price cut and the house appraised for more than $20,000 from what we paid. Could not believe the eye Michael has for listening to my obscure preferences and finding the best home that checked every box.

Michael is the BEST, hands down. My husband and I recently bought our first home together, and there was no doubt in our minds about working with Michael. He knows Richmond better than anyone I know, listened to our wants and needs, provided us with great options and advised us every step of the way and we landed the home of our dreams! We asked for his complete honesty along the way and got it, in the best way possible. Being a first time home buyer, I was naturally nervous at times, but he ALWAYS responded quickly and helped us understand everything along the way - helping erase all our worries and fears. I'm sure he was working with other clients...

My husband and I moved back to Midlothian recently from Boston and wanted to buy our first house. We tried on our own to visit houses and meet with random realtors, but no one seemed to be very knowledgeable about the houses we were looking at, never on time, and very pushy. I reached out to Michael, who from day one walked us through every detail of the buying process and the reality of the current market. Michael showed us 23 houses in less than 30 days, and at each house, he was very honest and thorough about the good and bad that the houses presented but never trying to push us to make a decision. After we lost three houses, he continued helping...

I wanted to work with michael as soon as I met him because of his earnest desire to help and because of his communication skills... and I just really liked him right away. It’s actually important because we ended up working with him for a long time due to our exacting requirements, tight budget, and a competitive market. He magically never got frustrated with us and showed us dozens of houses. An agent before had told us that we need to increase our budget if we wanted to find something that fit our specifications, but Michael encouraged us. When we finally saw something we liked he met us there that same day and had our offer in that night. He walk...

My husband and I are first-time buyers who just moved to the Richmond area. Because we are both starting new jobs, we weren't sure whether to rent or buy, and were hesitant to engage an agent. Despite knowing we might drag our feet, Michael was more than willing to show us around the city and help us begin our search. With Michael's help, we wound up buying after having seen only a few houses. Michael is very knowledgeable about the city and surrounding areas. Although my husband grew up around Richmond, Michael showed us neighborhoods that my husband didn't know about or hadn't considered, which helped open up our options. Michael was also quick t...

Michael was great helping us find our first home. Easy to work with, informative, and wasn't just trying to make a sale. He wants to be sure you love the house and will give you guidance needed to make it happen.

Michael Hippchen was our realtor during our very difficult house purchase. What should have been a straight forward sale was dragged out for three months from contract ratification to closing. The house was being sold through a national home sale company based in Arizona that we had never heard of and Michael had never dealt with. Michael did everything possible to deal with an impossible seller while also managing the questions and concerns of his clients. In the end, we got the house with all of the repairs paid for by Opendoor, and Michael was instrumental in procuring a hefty sum of credits for us at closing. Michael's primary concern is for hi...
