  " My husband and I were looking for a broker who could help us navigate our way through the process of obtaining a VA loan as first time home buyers. We chose a home that was in foreclosure, which is always challenging. Mike Petras was there every step of the way to guide us through this lengthy and stressful process. He spent many of his evenings at our house drafting and redrafting the documentation necessary to make this type of purchase happen. His numerous contacts and familiarity with the area proved to be very enabling. We could not have done it without him! " - Navy Family

I work in the real estate industry myself and look forward to each settlement I have the pleasure of working with Mike on. "

  "Mike Petras went above and beyond to get our home sold over 18 years ago. He worked with us in his commission in order to help us get the most we could! We will always be grateful for that! True, honest and dedicated!!! "

  "Mike was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He showed us many houses as we tried to find the right one. He got us an amazing price on it. When it came time to sell that house years later, Mike was our first call. We were able to sell that house quickly and easily thanks to Mike and his years of experience" -AF/Family

  " I cannot say enough good things about Mike. We were selling our house when two days before closing, the deal fell through. Mike rushed to find another buyer that would help us get what was deserved. The new buyer’s inspector found a lot more than the first, which was devastating. I had just left the military and was living apart from my husband with our one-year-old daughter while we house hunted in our new location, and the purchase of a new home here depended on the sale and closure of our home in MD. Mike worked tirelessly to oversee the projects happening at the house, since we were many miles away. He even made sure we wouldn’t have to be at closing, even when our buyer’s real estate company was a complete you-know-what show. He negotiated well with them to not let them take advantage all while making sure we wouldn’t get screwed in the end. He kept us up to date with almost daily phone calls. He was not only our real estate agent, property manager, and quality engineer...he was [and is] our friend. Thank God Mike Petras exists. If you’re looking for someone who truly knows their stuff and has years (35+) of experience, he’s your man" - AF/Family

  "Mike Petras did a great job in listing and selling my house in Waldorf, MD. He was honest and straightforward. He did not try to pressure me into anything that I was not comfortable with, but did encourage me to list above what I was anticipating. Although we did reduce the price slightly from the original listing, I still netted significantly more than I expected from the sale. The buyer's agent was not familiar with the area, and the buyer's team made quite a number of missteps along the way that almost resulted in the deal falling through. Mike had to doing an incredible amount of hand-holding and follow-up with the buyer's bank, title company and agent to get this deal completed. I highly recommend Mike Petras."

  "Mike Petras has been our family's realtor for many years. He is the only agent that our family considers working with. The reasons are straight forward, Mike is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and helpful."

  "We have bought and sold six homes and Mike Petras is by far the best real estate agent that we have worked with. Twelve years ago we moved from Southern Maryland to Virginia. Despite the real estate recession at that time we were able to sell our home in So MD in a reasonable time frame and at a competitive price with Mike's guidance. When it looked like the sale on that house would fall through on the buyers end, Mike helped guide the buyer's agent and we settled on time. Any agent can sell homes in an up real estate market, but few can effectively get it done in a down market. When we recently found out we were moving back to Southern MD, Mike was the first person we called. We could not be more pleased with our total real estate experience with Mike. If you need a knowledgeable, experienced, and low pressure agent to guide you through the buying or selling process, then call Mike"

  "Mike provided exceptional service to my wife and I during the sale of our home. As first-timers in the selling process, Mike was patient and professional with us as he navigated is through the process. His instincts are spot on, and he is exceptionally well-researched as he provides advice to his client. To top it all off, we closed the sale on the day he estimated we would! Cannot recommend Mike enough! "

  "Mike was a great help in selling our home, at a good price and in the timeframe we were targeting. He worked hard to get visibility for our home on all the major sites. His knowledge of the local area would be very hard to beat. He's been working here for a long time and we found him to be knowledgeable about not only the current market, but also recent history and trends around the region. We hadn't sold a home in nearly 30 years, and Mike made it feel simple and almost stress-free. I would definitely recommend him to anyone selling a home in our area"

  "I am a retired USAF veteran from Andrews AFB. When I was looking for a house, he found me one to rent. I eventually bought it. When it was time to retire, he sold listed it and it sold in 24 hours (market was good then). I moved away but returned 3 years later and looked him up. He found me the perfect house -- exactly what I needed. Great guy to work with and I am indebted to him. When it is time to sell, I can guarantee he will be the first realtor I call!"

  "Mike was able to find a safe and affordable rental in just a matter of days due to his ability to identify our requirements and match them with the perfect landlord. He was responsive and always available for questions. Mike is an honest and professional broker - the one to call no matter how big or small your needs are"

  "Mike Petras was able to sell our house in a down market. We tried other agents and the property languished on the market for nearly three years. We listed with Mike and the house was sold within two months. We would never buy or sell another house through any other agent in the area."

  " Mike Petras made my real estate transactions smooth and easier than I could have ever expected. He kept me fully informed of any factors affecting a scheduling closing. He was extremely effective at resolving all problems that could affected a scheduled closing. Mike Petras took prompt action to all my requests during my transactions. Mr. Petras' in-depth knowledge maximized the use of my veteran's benefits which allowed me to purchase the home I could only dream of.

We hope the new owners will get as much joy out of it as we did while living in Md. If you are looking to sell your house in the southern md area we highly recommend mikepetras.com"

  "My husband and I, along with our three children, were recently relocated from Maryland to Kentucky by the federal government. We selected Mike and his daughter, Joanne, to assist us in selling our Maryland home because we knew them personally and believed they would be honest and the best advocate for our family. As time would soon tell, they far exceeded our expectations! Mike was extremely knowledgeable about the relocation process, the current market, and how to best present our home. He took great care to stay in constant communication with the numerous parties involved in a government relocation and kept us informed of every step in the process. There was no detail left unattended by Mike. Further, he and Joanne went above and beyond to assist us with multiple home improvement tasks to ensure that the purchase deal went smoothly. My family and I greatly appreciate Mike and Joanne and we are so grateful for their friendship. I highly, highly recommend them!"

  "If you’re buying or selling in southern MD, you found your guy. No one else could ever compare to Mike’s dedication."

  " We were living 80 miles away from our rental when we decided to sell, but we only made one trip to the house. We met with Mike, identified issues and repairs needed to make it more salable; after which Mike did EVERYTHING. He supervised the work, while we communicated by phone, text, email, etc. He hosted several open house and viewing events, and even arranged for us to attend closing 5 miles from home. If you need an agent, Mike is your man. His outstanding personality and work ethic will make your transfer of home ownership as painless as humanly possible."

  "If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Southern Maryland, then you need to talk to Mike Petras and family. Mike was able to get my home in Waldorf listed and sold quickly while I worked on relocating to Georgia and transferring to another job within the DoD. He made the whole selling process go smoothly even though I was living in another state, and he has a lot of knowledge of the area that comes from years of experience. If you want the best real estate agent around, I highly recommend giving him a call."

  "- Mike is the nicest, most personable and knowledgeable realtor that we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Mike answered every question. Sometimes Mike had to answer the same question more than once, he always answered them as if it was the first time we asked. Mike has so much knowledge of Maryland real estate laws and regulations you can’t go wrong choosing him as your realtor."

  "Mike kept us informed though the whole process. He provided us with true 5 Star Service. We highly recommend Mike Petras and Veterans USA Realty !"

  "Mike was there for us all the way and even after the sale. He always took his time to show us anything we wanted to see and was very knowledgeable about each area we looked at. Mike also gave us the pros and cons of each area, which was so valuable for us being new to the area. Finding the perfect house is hard, but Mike made it easier and ensured that when we did finally make an offer there were no surprises in the end. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a home in his areas of expertise. He knows all the right people and service companies for things we needed to make it through the inspections and any needed service areas related to us moving in."
