RE/MAX At Barnegat Bay - Toms River

Best in the business . The headline doesn't lie..I have used Mike for numerous real estate transactions and he never disappoints. He goes above and beyond for his clients and is also your best friend for life after close! I found this home and Mike immediately went to work securing the deal and making it happen.

Exceptional and Fantastic. This is the second time that we have Mike as our realtor assisting us on a rental property. Mike is a knowledgeable and thorough individual. He helped us every step of the way from our initial call to him asking for help right through the signing of the lease. He stayed in constant communication with us and made sure that the other party was doing their due diligence in order to make this a speedy and fair transaction. What we love the most is that we have been lucky and blessed enough not only to call him our realtor but most importantly our friend. He always has and will always put the needs of his clients first to ensure that they receive what they ask for. The level of skill and knowledge in his field is second to none! Beyond thankful and grateful for him.

Mike is an amazing real estate agent! Mike was professional from the start, when we started looking for houses, we were getting calls from realtors who are kind of treating us like a game. Mike was the only person to actually reach out and try to communicate to us like we were humans. He was always very professional and honest with us, and on top of it he was very accommodating to our schedule, and when we were available to look. We ended up finding a house that was somewhere we didn’t even think to look, and he did such a great job walking us through the whole application, making an offer, all the way to closing. He recommended us some companies all the way down to the people who did the home inspection, and he steered us right every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone that cares, Mike is your guy :)

Mike is THE MAN! Working with Mike on all my purchases has been a great experience every time! Very knowledgeable in all aspects from showing to closing. He answers any question, find the information and follows through to completion of purchase. Thanks Mike!

The Best!! Mike is so easy to work with. He is very knowledgeable about the current market. He was always available for showings and calls. He was with us from beginning to the end. We couldn’t have done it without him!

Amazing Experience. My wife and I were first time home buyers, and were unfamiliar with the process and what to expect. Mike was able to take us through each step of the process from start to finish, providing guidance and advice along the way. He made everything simple and easy to understand, and helped us purchase the perfect home in our desired location. Mike was professional, responsive, and extremely helpful. We feel truly blessed to have worked with Mike as our agent and cannot recommended him highly enough!

Wonderful experience with Mike! . Mike was everything I could have asked for in a real estate agent. From the beginning, he worked with me to set realistic goals given my budget and worked diligently to quickly identify listings that might appeal to me. He always made himself available for tours and made himself available for personal calls. as well. After falling short a few times on some places I’d really hoped to win out on, Mike kept me motivated even in this tough market. Soon enough, I would find the place I will call home for the next several years as I enter the next phase of my life. I cannot recommend Mike enough!

First-time buyers. As first time home buyers, we couldn't have asked for a better experience than what we had with Mike! From the very beginning of our home search, Mike took the time to hear and understand our needs and wishes for our future home. He was a consummate professional, extremely patient, thoroughly explained the process, and we never felt as though he was "pushing" us towards a house. When we found a house that we loved, Mike helped us navigate the process, always making himself available no matter the day or time. We can't recommend Mike enough!

Mike gets it done!! Mike always goes above and beyond. I have done multiple transactions with Mike each one is handled exactly the same every time, seamless and professional. Every person I have referred to Mike has the same experience. He is the best! If you’re reading this review and need a realtor/ partner who has your best interest at heart, you need to call Mike Butterworth now! As always Mike, thank you for all you do!

Excellent buying experience with Lorraine Petersen. Lorraine was a pleasure to work with and was able to help us purchase a home in a very demanding market. Very professional and kept constant communication with me through the entire process. If you are looking for a house in the jersey shore area Lorraine will definitely guide you in the right direction.

Mike is great realtor with excellent knowledge of the housing market. . From finding potential properties to helping me negotiate an ideal contract, Mike was always available and communicated how each part of the whole process would move forward. Mike has great knowledge of housing market in my region that make difference to finding our house

I have bought and sold several homes in my life and felt with many realtor during those times. However I have never had a better experience with Dave. My wife and I recently relocated back from Florida and Dave made that transition smooth and could not be more pleased with him. He is a hard worker and makes sure everyone that involved does their job.
Thanks Dave your the best!

Michael Forlenza was the sellers realtor for a house that we were in contract with and I wanted to buy. After I made an offer on his sellers home, the offer was accepted. I (the buyer) signed the contract and then the sellers signed the contract so we were in attorney review. Michael Forlenza was still showing the house and accepting offers (after sellers accepted our offer and signed contract). Their attorneys ignored my attorney so we can be out of attorney review and instead they cancelled the contract because I was using a VA loan. I am a disabled veteran, his excuse for cancelling was they received non VA loans. He had me waste my time and money for him to accept an offer, have me order appraisal, sign paperwork and submit paperwork and then still show the house and go with someone else's offer while we were in attorney review.

He is the most unprofessional realtor that anyone on my team had ever seen. If I were to ever see his name or realty name on another house, I will warn everyone about my experience with him.

DO NOT TRUST MICHAEL FORLENZA.

HE IS AGAINST VETERANS.

He will have you waste time and money. If I can give Zero stars I would. He also deletes negative reviews about himself.
