Why Hire Us

Are you making a move in the Cleveland area but feeling overwhelmed by the endless decisions, the changing market, and the pressure to maximize your home’s value? You’re not alone. Selling a home isn’t just a transaction—it’s a major life event. Whether you’re wondering how to prepare your home for the market, what it’s really worth, or if now is the right time to sell, these questions can leave you feeling stuck. Add in the complexities of job relocations, timing your next purchase, or avoiding costly mistakes, and it’s no wonder so many people hesitate to take the next step.

Here’s the truth—waiting too long or choosing the wrong agent can cost you big time. Homes that aren’t positioned correctly sit on the market, losing value. Without the right strategy, you could end up leaving thousands of dollars on the table, facing unnecessary stress, or even getting trapped with two mortgage payments. The stakes are too high to trust just anyone. You need someone with proven experience, a battle-tested plan, and a relentless commitment to your success. That’s where we come in.

What Our Clients Are Saying...

"Mike's mother sold my parents' home around 25 years ago and I remember them being very pleased with her representation - my dad was always sharp when it came to real estate so I didn't hesitate to contact Mike when it came time for us to buy a home. Experience, professionalism and organization are all so important when one goes through the very emotional and expensive process of something like this. But also important to me was someone with a good reputation so that agents on the selling side would take our offer more seriously. Also being back in the Cleveland area after several years I wanted an agent who could recommend the right auxiliary people, i.e. painting, carpet, roofing etc. Mike checked all the boxes, his team makes for a seamless transition no matter who you are working with. An easy 5 stars and someone you'd want on your side to take care of the bigger details while you are busy planning, packing and changing addresses!"

- Gary F.

"I have used the services of the Vonderau Team on a number of real estate sell and buy transactions. Having been an executive in the real estate information services industry for over 40 years and having met and worked with many real estate professionals, I feel extremely comfortable in saying that Mike Vonderau and the entire Vonderau Team are one of the most professional and successul real estate professionals that I know. From the first meeting to participating in the life of the transaction the entire team shows a high level of professionalism, caring of the needs of the client and an astute knowledge of all things related to the area of the subject property. The team is very personable and easy to work with. Whether you are a buyer or seller, real estate transaction carry a degree of stress and the Vonderau team members are sensitive to that and are focused on eliminating the stress and producing a successful outcome."

- Timm K.

"Mike Vonderau is everything you want in a realtor- prompt, professional, and personable. I chose Mike to represent me in a recent home purchase and highly recommend him and The Vonderau Team. I started looking at homes in Bay Village in Spring 2023 amid a challenging market for buyers. Mike’s responsiveness and knowledge of Bay proved essential throughout the entire process. Mike and team were always quick to respond to every showing, offer, or question I had…and there were plenty of of each. More than that, the team goes above and beyond the call of duty when serving clients and doesn’t miss a detail. I would not have gotten the house I bought without Mike Vonderau. If you’re looking for a realtor, look no further."
