REVIEWS

  • Joseph Ciaglia

    I have been a mortgage lender in Las Vegas for 23 years. Mike Copenhaver is by far one of the best agents i have ever had the pleasure of working with. He does an incredible job for his clients, communication is perfect, and he always goes the extra mile. If you’re thinking about hiring Mike for your next purchase, you will not be disappointed. It’s always an excellent transaction.

  • Jessica Baker

    Mike is an amazing realtor. He was very attentive to our needs, listened to our wants, and executed. He was available at all times throughout the day to answer my many questions. Very knowledgeable about Vegas real estate, very patient, and very understanding. I recommend a 10 out of 10 and if I had to do it all over again I would work with Mike with a second thought.

  • Ritchie Favors

    Wonderfull

  • David Limpin

    Fast and easy, the very best and this was my 3rd home I've purchase. Michael did everything I needed...

  • Marqux Bowing

    This realtor really help me get my first home, seeing that the other realtors and banks didn’t go as far as Michael Copenhaver did. Even the closing cost went smoothly. From being to the end.

  • Kimberly Bernstorff

    Michael Copenhaver did a fantastic job throughout my home buying process even answering questions for me that were already written and I just didn’t read because of all my anxieties.

  • Leslie Herzog

    This was the most seamless, successful home purchase I have ever experienced. My agent, Michael Copenhaver, did an exceptional job helping me navigate the entire purchase process, from identifying desirable properties, through bidding and inspection, and all the way through closing. He did the lion’s share of the work as I was an out of state buyer. From bid to closing, we did it in 2 weeks! I have bought and sold several homes over the past 50+ years, but nothing comes close to the ease and success of this purchase. What an extraordinary experience. I can unequivocally state that Michael and his team set the bar for exceptional customer service and expertise in the realty industry.

  • Dale Stanlow

    Michael was there for us every step of the way. Very attentive and prompt at getting questions answered. He helped us through every step of the process and the concierge service was extremely helpful in getting all the things we needed for the new property. Top flight service can't recommend enough.

  • Raymanda Smith

    I had such an amazing experience with my Realtor Michael Copenhaver. He was very efficient throughout the purchasing process, I was informed and educated on the steps of purchasing my first home. He has helped my partner sell, buy and sell his son property. He is one in a million with his work ethic. He was quick to respond to all my calls and text messages. He is officially a friend of my family now! I would recommend him to anyone purchasing a home in the future.

  • Darius Elder

    I can't say enough about the service that I received from all aspects of the Gafford group. From the first interaction I felt like a long time customer that was valued. My real estate agent, Michael Copenhaver, is top notch. This is the 8th home I've purchased in several different states and cities, and Michael is by far the best I've worked with. From little things like picking me up from the airport, to being available anytime I had a question and responding nearly immediately. Again this was the best experience I've ever had in real estate.

  • Monica Galloway

    My experience with The Gafford Group at Simply Vegas and with Michael Copenhaver was outstanding. I received the best service I ever had. No matter what time, what day, and what my question was, I could always reach out to Michael and Nick Paggi, and they would make time for me. If they were busy, they would call me back shortly. When I couldn't make a walk-through, Michael took care of it for me. His vast knowledge about houses and the market made the process of buying a house less stressful. I even received gifts! On my first face to face with Michael, he gave me a welcome gift with cheese, crackers, wine, etc. As time progressed, I received a packing package with the works. I also received a stress relieving gift box and a goody box. The personal attention I received, made me feel special, they know how stressful buying a house can be, but the team made it very manageable for me, which I truly appreciate. If you are in the market for a house, The Gafford Group at Simply Las Vegas is a must! They'll keep you on track and on time with all appointments and documents. Before you know it, you'll be a homeowner, just like me. Thank you everyone.

  • Krystal Turgiss

    Mike did an amazing job helping me purchase my first home! He was patient and relaxed while looking at different homes, such that I never felt stressed/pressured. Once I found the right home, and was under contract, Mike was communicative and responsive, such that I was able to close on this home in under a month with basically no drama. I really appreciate his guidance and expertise navigating this foreign world of real estate.

  • Robert & Tonya Cornwall

    We recently purchased a home in the Sundstone Trilogy community in the northwest corner of Las Vegas. We loved working with Michael Copenhaver representing Simply Vegas. He was knowledgable, friendly and engaged in our process. My wife Tonya is a realtor in our home town of State College PA and she was impressed with his professionalism and personal touch to our buying experience. We were purchasing, our Vegas property as a second home and Mike toured us through various localities all around Vegas through severel trips and even virtual walkthroughs, what a great buying experience. We strongly recommend Mike and the Simply Vegas team including their specialized concierge service as the Realtor of choice in the Vegas area.

  • Patricia Pedroza

    Michael Copenhaver is simply amazing! He was very professional and personable, making us feel comfortable every step of the way. He explained everything to us a manner that we would understand and we loved how he was always available to answer any and all questions we had. He made himself available when we would drive in from Los Angles to view houses we were interested in and he even recorded a few houses for us to view when we were unable to make the drive! Getting to know each other during the process was easy and we are so happy to call him a friend now. We will definitely recommend him to anyone who is thinking of purchasing in Las Vegas.

  • Tess & Fritz Kummer

    We have been working with Michael Copenhaver for over six months on two land acquisitions and helping us find a rental house for us to live in while we design our dream home here in the Vegas area. We found him too always be very professional, very willing to help in practically anyway possible (including going above and beyond the norm) and being a VERY good listener. While we were sometimes a little hesitant on some houses and issues Michael was very receptive and able to adapt to our changing needs and desires in many aspects during our just concluded search. We would both highly recommend Michael and look to be friends with him for a long time coming.

  • Tim Harlan

    Mike is a cut above the rest. He is always very professional. while being connected in a warm way. He treated us like we were the only customer he had. In finding our home, he was very attentive and listened to what our wants and needs were before he suggested a home to visit. Whenever we had a request or question, he was on it. We felt like he was truly our friend. I am not the easiest to get along with at times and I demand excellence, and he was amazing in how he responded to every item, even on the weekend or in the evening. All these qualities are very rare today. If or when we sell our home we would automatically call Mike first. We would also be very comfortable recommending him to our friends, without question. If you are looking to buy a home in Las Vegas the answer is simple, Mike Copenhaver with The Gafford Group, at Simply Vegas.

  • Alicia Adison

    Just want to say thank you to Michael Copenhaver for helping us make the move back to Las Vegas! Having to move your family across the country and start a new job can be stressful and Michael helped us navigate through a tough market and a contingent offer to make it all happen. His knowledge and communication was exceptional and would recommend him to any of my friends and family! We love our new home in Green Valley!

  • Ninja Benjamin

    When contacting the Gafford Group, you would do yourself justice by selecting Michael Copenhaver as your buyers agent. He's attentive, he communicates VERY well, and he possess strong market awareness. Michael is the MAN!!!!

  • Michael McGrew

    The Gafford Group by far are nothing short of amazing! The process was effortless, the staff impeccable but the service was untouched. Thanks for everything Mike!

  • Maxx Vega

    Making the decision to move from the East Coast to Nevada was not easy which is why I am extremely thankful I choose Michael Copenhaver to assist in the process of finding a new home. Michael followed up from the beginning, and walked me through the whole process with lots of patience and professionalism. Likewise, he was helpful in the negotiating tactics which is something every prospect homeowner needs. Finally, I am looking forward to purchasing more homes in the future with Michael Copenhaver as my realtor. Thank you so much Michael!

  • Marcus Gafter

    I couldnt ask for a more competent agent than Mike Copenhaver, my wife and I were tired of renting so we decided to jump into the insanity that has become the LV real estate market and he helped us navigate the journey perfectly. I can unequivocally say that due to his expertise we were able to buy our first home. He knew all the ins and outs of getting our offer accepted and how to get around/work with some of the insane demands being put on buyers right now. We werent million dollar clients but he made us feel that way every step of the way, he was available every time we needed him for anything through the whole process and after. You cannot go wrong with him and Im not the easiest to please. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know.

  • Lonnie D Ripley

    I contacted Simply Vegas during our third week in Las Vegas we had not had any luck finding our forever home until spoke with Michael Copenhaver. Michael found out what we could spend and what type of house we needed Micheal said he had 2 houses to show us that day. We chose the second home Michael went over the different updates and what it would take to secure to home price wise. Michael was very inssturemental

  • Ruben Marcell

    Micheal and The Gafford Group at Simply Vegas are simply the best out there they made me feel at home throughout the whole process. I highly recommend them!

  • Regina Woodson

    Michael was so helpful, he was quick with all our requests and needs. He did an excellent job of communicating and was always available. Thanks so much, we are so happy with our new home. It was a smooth and easy experience even in this crazy market. Thanks again!

  • Scott & Cari Clark

    Mike did a fantastic job on the sale of our previous home and sold it in 48 hours with five offers. We also used Mike to purchase our dream home and couldn’t be happier!

  • Tyler & Shannon Ray

    Michael was extremely proactive and helpful throughout the whole process. I could always count on a very speedy response to anything. Very knowledgeable and friendly!

  • Jim & Diana Beers

    We met Michael Copenhaver via the internet and phone roughly 15 months ago. At the time, we had not determined our destination to purchase. In June 2020 we made the trip to Las Vegas to tour the purchasing options. Michael did a fantastic job over a 3-day period of showing us the different parts of the Las Vegas area. We continued to look on-line, and got pre-approved so we were ready when the timing was right. We eventually were presented with a home that seems to fit our needs. Michael did a video tour that allowed us to react without a personal trip in, which we never thought we would do. We made the offer and the rest is history. We feel that we could rely on Mike to provide us with information, answer our questions and guide us along the way ( we haven’t bought a home for 35 years)! We are pleased with the service Mike provided, and we hope to say we made a new friend in the process! Mike will definitely be recommended to anyone we hear of interested in relocating to the Vegas area. Thanks, Mike!!

  • Ivett & Eric Wicker

    OUTSTANDING! Michael Copenhaver was a godsend. We were very nervous and particular about who we used throughout this home purchase experience. This man did everything we hoped for and more. From the first meeting though after the closing. He is attentive to all details, even the things we didn't think about. I highly recommend him for everyone that wants to feel special while buying a home. No games, just courteous and professional. If you need a team that is clearly in your corner when buying a house, this is the man. Lastly, the concierge service was a huge bonus! Thank you for all that you do!

  • Mark & Jessica Broomhead

    If you're looking for an agent who is committed and will go above and beyond to sell your home, look no further than Michael Copenhaver. We hired Michael to sell our home and did not regret it for a second. I am a licensed agent in another state, so I have extremely high expectations...Mike delivered! We had already relocated to the east coast and Mike handled EVERYTHING for us from booking contractors to touching up the landscaping and making sure our home had curb appeal to stand out, all while keeping budget in mind and advising us when some expenses were not the best investment. We wanted to get it on the market and sold FAST so he got in there and handled little touchups like paint & changing fixtures (most of which the homeowner would normally do) himself! The home sold in 1 week for much more than we originally anticipated, and we closed in about a month. He handled everything with the utmost respect and professionalism and I have no doubt he is one of the rising stars of Las Vegas real estate. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone I know. Thanks Mike!

  • Arturo Martin

    Nurse

    Our real estate agent was Michael. This was my family’s first purchase. We couldn’t be happier with our new house. Michael was patient, honest, and very helpful. He guided us through this journey and I would recommend him 10/10 times. He had our best interest in mind. I loved that he was always available when we needed him: since it’s our first home we did not know what to expect, but he really walked us through everything with great detail. My family and I thank you and the staffing group for a great experience.

  • Christian Diaz

    Distribution Specialist

    I cannot express my gratitude enough to Michael, Ehleena and the entire Gafford Group at Simply Vegas. From day one, Michael worked hard to ensure that my home buying process was a breeze. His initiative from showing house properties all day to helping me with simple, out of his way, tasks is what really stood out. Michael not only showed himself as a realtor, but more as a helpful friend during the entire process. As a first time home buyer, I had no idea of what the process was going to be like. Regardless of my knowledge with the house market and Vegas in general, Michael was there every step of the way helping me from simple community questions I had, to the very fine detail of certain property questions. He made sure that every question I asked was answered to the best of his knowledge with fine detail. Ehleena made me more comfortable and incredibly confident in my first home purchase. Michael and Ehleena definitely made me feel part of the family. I cannot thank Micahael, Ehleena and the entire Simply Vegas enough!!

  • Adrian Celaya

    Electrician

    It was very pleasant working with Michael. We were first time home buyers so I thought the process was supposed to be stressful. Michael set a very clear path for us and made the whole process very easy and understandable. By the end of the process I felt like he was more of my friend, than a realtor. We LOVE our home!!!! Michael and his team took very good care of us. I would recommend him to anyone!

  • Michael Macaluso

    Facility Manager

    What a great experience working with Michael. What I appreciate the most was the constant communication and always having a game plan for us when looking at properties when In town. I highly recommend using Michael and Simply Vegas when looking to purchase property. My wife and I couldn't be happier with our new house!

  • Miko Brando

    Hi Mike did a Great Job. I have nothing but praise for the way he helped me on this endeavor of buying this house I attained. The property owner was a problem. But Mike helped me get as best deal as possible. I could tell right off property owner was going to be problem. Well when pool service guy came off and made deal with him he verified problem. I well recommend Mike and already have to my friends and family. Mike is a crafty guy and knows how to identify obstacles in buying a House.

  • Gary & Michelle Myers

    We are extremely grateful to Michael Copenhaver for his help finding a home. From the first phone call, to the early morning meetings to help us understand the process, to scheduling the viewings, he was a true professional, genuine, kind and patient. He was always available to answer our questions and discuss properties with us- even when he was out of town! We highly recommend him and consider him a friend. “Thank you, Mike. We will never forget how you helped us through an amazingly stressful time.”

  • Brandon Christopher

    orking with Mike Copenhaver from The Gafford Group was sensational. Especially as a first time buyer, he was thorough and patient when exploring the entire city to find the best fit in meeting our needs. After closing we appreciated having the complimentary concierge service, and attended to by Georgina Neilson. Overall great experience. Highly recommend.

  • Justin Little

    Director of Production

    I came across simply Vegas by accident doing basic research, on homes in the Las Vegas area. Mike had given me a call within minutes of filling out their online form. I’ll be honest I usually ignore these types of calls and let me tell you I’m glad I didn’t. Mike went above and beyond to educate my wife and I on purchasing a home, he took more time out of his day to take my picky self around town during all times of the day until We found our home. Mike has become a friend of my wife and I due to his outstanding performance and just being an all around cool guy. I have already recommended him to friends and family and will Continue to do so. 10 out of 10 Mike

  • Laurie Christopher

    Mike did an outstanding job of leading us all by the hand to get through a complicated process. He also miraculously found a house a little lower than the price range we needed, in the neighborhood we wanted that included all the amenities on our list! Delighted with the service and the outcome!
