Selling a home is never just a transaction; it's a journey, often fraught with anticipation, hope, and sometimes anxiety. When my wife and I decided to put our house on the market, we knew we needed a partner who could guide us through this process with expertise and care. Enter Mike Zacker, the owner of Cove Realty, who turned what could have been a stressful experience into an unexpectedly smooth ride.
From the very beginning, Mike's professionalism and deep understanding of the real estate market were evident. He set us up with an app to manage showings, and once our listing went live, the interest was overwhelming. On that very first evening, we were swamped with requests—ten showings scheduled for the next day and two that same evening. Our home, though modest, clearly resonated with what buyers were looking for at that time. The market was certainly in our favor, but it was Mike’s guidance and strategic planning that made everything click.
To our astonishment, the house sold after just one full day on the market. It was a cash offer, $11,000 over our asking price—an offer we couldn’t have dreamed of. The buyers quickly put down their earnest money, and we accepted the deal, thrilled at how swiftly everything was falling into place.
But as with any journey, there were bumps along the way. A week and a half later, our hearts sank when the buyers unexpectedly pulled out, forfeiting their deposit. The momentum we had felt seemed to come to a grinding halt, and we were left wondering what would happen next. It was a moment of uncertainty, but Mike was a calming presence in the storm. He assured us that we would find another buyer quickly, and his confidence was both reassuring and contagious.
True to his word, when we re-listed the house, the interest wasn’t as intense as before, but those who came through were serious and made strong offers. One of these offers was at our asking price, but with an added bonus—the buyers agreed to cover all closing costs, inspections, and any fees associated with the sale. This time, the process moved forward without a hitch. After the home inspection, the buyers didn’t request a single concession, staying true to their word.
Throughout this entire process, Mike and the team at Cove Realty were more than just our real estate agents; they were our partners. They handled the coordination and paperwork with precision, ensuring that everything was seamless from start to finish. It’s rare to find a team that combines professionalism with such a personal touch, but that’s exactly what we experienced with Cove Realty.
In the end, selling our home wasn’t just about moving on to the next chapter in our lives; it was about doing so with confidence and peace of mind, knowing we had made the right choice in our real estate partner. If you’re looking to sell your home and want a team that will make the process as easy and successful as possible, I wholeheartedly recommend Cove Realty and Mike Zacker. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and I’m certain they’ll do the same for you.

Our experience with Cove Realty was a memorable, straightforward experience. Our sales partner agent was Mike Zacker. My wife did some research in finding and talking to local realtors, and we were fortunate that she recommended Mike to me after he visited our home and walked through with her.
He was low key, low pressure, made helpful and welcome suggestions to prepare our home for sale. He did not push back on our requested sale price, when we planned on having the house ready for showing, a close date, and was very encouraging as we neared our day to "go live" on the sale listing. He had very professional photos taken, suggested the order of photo show, and authored the listing details.
He worked with us on sorting through the offers that we received, provided opinions on each, i.e.., Pros/Cons, and suggested what we could negotiate as counter offers. There was a "glitch" at the close that he and the title company innovatively and promptly resolved, and we accomplished the task of selling on old home and moving forward with resettling back to our roots in NE Wisconsin.
For me the measure of a successful partnership is what your answer would be if asked, "Would you do it again?"
I would give a resounding Yes.
In a New York Minute. I'm having a ZACK ATTACK!!

As a first-time home buyer and someone new to the area, Mike was nothing less than a blessing for us.

Thanks to him, we could also get contacts for local contractors for home renovation and maintenance.

I connected with Mike Zacker years before we listed and sold our home in Pleasant Prairie to move to Colorado Springs. Mike provided valuable market information and was obviously a subject matter expert. I learned from others that his reputation was outstanding and that Cove Realty gave back to the community. We listed with Cove and Mike and the process was world class; Mike has a no nonsense / full contact approach based on nearly two decades in the business. We highly recommend Cover Realty and Mike Zacker! Kevin and Dianna Baldwin

We recently sold our childhood home after the passing of our parents. Mike Zacker at Cove felt like one of the family as he walked us through the process. He was excellent at navigating through a few issues and keeping us in the loop as need be without alarming us of bumps in the road. His assistant Melissa was also very helpful with the little details. We would highly recommend Mike if you are looking to sell or buy a home!

Mike helped us sell our home for over what we thought we could in May of 2020 and stuck by our side through this crazy housing market until we found (and finally got an accepted offer) on our new home nearly 16 months later! We appreciate his straightforward, no BS attitude. After 16 months of showings and rejected offers he never gave up and had our backs the entire way. We would not, finally, have a place to call home if it wasn’t for his hard work so we will be forever Grateful! Thanks Mike for everything!
- Stephanie - Oct 15, 2021

My son was stationed overseas and during his absence, considerable damage was done to his property. I live 6 hours aways from the property so even trying to sell the home was difficult. I was recommended to Cove. After working with Mike, I put my complete faith in him and his company. They were beyond helpful...taking a personal investment into the home, meeting with me on the phone, text and email and providing me options and recommendations. I felt like family. I followed ALL their recommendations and received 3 offers on the first few days that exceeded our asking price. You could have knocked me over with a feather. There were additional complications during the closings...but again, they stepped in and smoothed them out. It was a fantastic experience and, when my son returned, was very appreciative of their genuine passion for helping their clients. Thank you so, so much for you help and your expertise. I am beyond words to express my appreciation!
- Bob Hicks - Jul 09, 2021

- Patty Hubbard - Jun 08, 2021
I highly recommend Mike. It was months from when I first thought about putting my rental house on the market. Mike was diligent about staying in contact with me. He helped me through the process and offered advice to make the property more appealing to prospective buyers. When I was ready to list the house. Mike was out the next day to get the process rolling. His photographer made the house look amazing. I had an offer within two weeks (over the Christmas and New Year's time frame). He handled the back and forth with the buyers agent and knew exactly what I was looking for and made it happen. I couldn't be happier with my experience! Thanks Mike and the Cove Realty Team.

Mike came into our house and made some suggestions to improve the appeal of our home and discuss everything involved with selling a house. We discussed price, listing specifications, And photography timing among many items.
Within hours of the house being listed (late at night), we had multiple showings scheduled on the first full day. Before the first day of showings was completed, Mike presented us with an offer that was above asking price with no contingencies. Your experience may vary lol!!
After the inspection of our 70-ish year old house was completed, Mike was able to suggest contacts to complete the work that was needed. His many years in the business and multiple contacts he has made really helped us.
Thanks Mike for making the sale of our home quick, pain free, and for top dollar.
If you need to sell your home, you can’t go wrong with Mike Zacker and Cove Realty!!

- Lynn Slivon - Mar 20, 2020
When putting our house up for sale we interviewed several realtors. Most came to the house and basically wanted to talk about their commission. There was only one realtor, Mike Zacker, who spent his time discussing strategy, key selling points of the house and what he could do to help us sell it. Awesome! We contracted with Cove and Mike did not disappoint. Mike kept us updated every step of the way and made recommendations when needed. Bottom line, we sold our house. Thanks Mike!!

Met Michael at a showing of a Pleasant Prairie home. I was so impressed by his honesty and responsiveness as the sellers agent I retained him as my buyers agent. Throughout the process Michael kept me informed of where we were, what was upcoming and the time frames involved. Michael went far and above expectations and the closing was as expeditious as the overall process itself. Thanks to him and the folks at Cove I am now a proud, new homeowner!

Cove Realty and Mike Zacker were great in getting our home SOLD in two weeks. We were very nervous Sellers since we hadn’t been on the Sellers end for over 25 years. Mike marketed our home in many different ways and brought us a full price offer within two weeks. During the marketing time he gave us timely notice of showings and feedback from potential Buyers. All along Mike was very patient with us and answered our many questions. Mike was able to get our deal closed and we didn’t have to pay the high cost of commissions that other Realtors had quoted. We would recommend giving Cove Realty the opportunity to handle any of your Real Estate needs. I know they will be the first ones we hire for all our future real estate needs. Thanks Mike Zacker and Cove staff you’re number one in our book!

All employees were super nice and put my needs first. They were able to work around my unusual work schedule for showings. They really know the kenosh county area, including good and bad school districts and neighborhoods. I would recommend them to anyone, especially people with a family who needs a good area for kids!
