Michael did an exceptional job in selling my townhome. He went above and beyond to help me get my home ready to show at its best, and was able to provide great connections for flooring, electrical, and paint touch-ups, who all did excellent work on a quick timeline. I felt that he made my sale a priority, and he was persistent from the first day it listed all the way through closing. His advice and hard work throughout the process was invaluable. Could not recommend him more strongly.

Michael Richards is the best person for the job in a hot market like Charlotte. His responsiveness, attention to detail & follow through exceeded our expectations. We found the perfect place in South End quickly that checked all the boxes. Michael was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the market, especially in the Factory South building where we purchased. Thank you!

We worked with Michael on our relocation to the Charlotte area. We’ve lived in seven states & have worked with many realtors through the years. Michael is a skilled professional and the best we’ve worked with.. He’s patient, knowledgeable, a creative & aggressive strategist who was able to effortlessly guide us on Charlotte home values in the frenzied market we purchased our home in. We highly recommend Michael Richards and High Ground Investment Properties for your next real estate purchase.

Michael is honest, responsive, effective, and works diligently to get the best deal. He sold my house, in June 2021, quickly and for a very good price. Michael was a one-stop shop. I needed a painter and Michael said he had a guy he trusted. I needed short-term lawn service and Michael said he had a guy he trusted. Michael made all the necessary coordination, ensured the estimates were priced appropriately, and followed-up to make sure the work was completed. He exceeded all of my expectations.
** Michael is a consummate professional who goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend

Michael was fantastic to work with. I bought and sold my homes with him and the process was as smooth as you could hope for. He stayed late nights to make sure the deals were done and things were taken care of properly. Always professional, detailed oriented, responsive and truly caring about what you need/look for in your next home instead of being pushy like some other realtors. High recommended!

Michael was a consummate professional from start to finish on my home purchase. His background and understanding of the real estate investing world brings with it a degree of sophistication you don’t get from a normal realtor, but he is very user friendly and easy to get along with.
He is also willing to go to bat for you on key negotiation issues with the other side and was successful on all fronts on my deal. We found a house, signed a deal, arranged financing and closed within less than a month.
Highly recommend Michael!

Michael was great with selling my home within 2 hours of it going on the market for full asking price. He also helped very effectively with the closing, finding me a new home to live in until we can build and finding lakefront property to build on all this done within 2 weeks. All all time he was very professional and always looked out for my best interest. I will always in the future use Michael as my real estate professional

Michael helped our family sell a home, and subsequently, find another home to suit our family's needs. Throughout each process, Michael was professional, listened to our questions and concerns, and made the process very smooth for a simple transition from one home to the next. We would recommend Michael Richards to anyone looking for a top-notch agent!

Their service is outstanding! I had the opportunity to work with Michael with the sale of my old home and the purchase of a new one! He made both transaction so smooth! He was extremely responsive, he was always prepared and his advice helped us make sure we had an easy sale, and purchase. Even at times when things got a little complicated on the sale side, he was able to negotiate and he made sure that there were no delays in our closings. He was more than a realtor agent, he partnered with us and made sure we felt supported all the way! I will definitely work with him again!

Michael’s experience as a buyer, builder, and seller of real estate brings with it unique perspective that is unmatched by any other agent that I’ve encountered. He is an adept negotiator, well-organized, communicative, and incredibly detail oriented; he will treat the purchase of your home as if it’s his own.
My buying experience was unique in that the purchase / sale was contingent on an agreement with the home builder to add a detached garage to the property post-close. Michael not only advised on and led the negotiation of the construction contract, but also weighed in on every aspect
