Michael and team provided my Wife and I unparalleled service with all aspects of our last transaction. Michael is a gentleman and a scholar. Most importantly, he's a seasoned professional that consistently delivers no-nonsense advice and honest insights with the singular objective of maximizing our net worth and ROI.

If you're looking for a team that can tackle the complicated deals and work absolute magic then look no further. Michael and his team have time after time worked miracles and made deals work that seamed unworkable on the surface. Many brokerages just sit back and collect commissions, but these guys really earn their keep and deliver results you could not get on your own.

I have been working with The Plaza Group for over 5 years, buying and selling investment properties. I am extremely happy with the off market opportunities they provide me and know this company goes above and beyond for me to get top dollar when I go to sell. I will continue to use their services and recommend them to anyone looking to invest in Commerical and residential properties.

What a great experience! Melanie Greiner was a pleasure to have as my real estate agent. Melanie never left any questions unanswered and always responded promptly. I would highly recommend her over any conventional 6% brokers as you will save thousands as well as receive the best service any agent can provide. I know from experience as we were able to sell our home quickly using Melanie! Melanie is also very professional, attentive to detail and very easy to work with. She stayed the course through a very trying and frustrating selling/closing process. Melanie is a straight shooter and extremely

I wish there was a zero star rating. Sellers and/or buyers beware! This group and Melanie Greiner, BRE #02012021, specifically, are the most unethical real estate agents I have ever run across. Melanie forced her way into our 90 year old, disabled mother's home and tried to get her to sign a sales agreement at a significantly below market price. Fortunately, the caregiver called us and we were able to intervene. When we confronted her boss, Michael Alladawi, BRE #01948460, he laughed it off as "good, aggressive sales tactics." Unethical and fraudulent are not the sales tactics
