Mike Carollo is truly the best realtor we have ever worked with. [...] Mike explained all the details of every offer and was always ready to answer our questions and concerns. He and his team lead us through every step of the process and when it came time to close, Mike was fair and straightforward in negotiations with the buyer. After several months on the market and increasing interest rates, we are very satisfied with the sale of our home. Mike’s honesty, knowledge, expertise, outgoing personality and can-do attitude made the whole process much less stressful. We can not recommend Mike Carollo high enough. He is five stars!

Our most recent successes:
Mike spent a tremendous amount of time helping my family relocate from living abroad. We were a challenging customer as we had a very wide range of options and were not sure which option would be best for us. Mike took the time and effort to show us everything from 3 bedroom condos to two million dollar homes, ranging from Draper to Holladay, Park City to Heber...and never flinched. Eventually we decided on a home in Jeremy Ranch, and Mike not only helped us find a solid local mortgage broker but some talented roofers and repair experts to help us fix a few things after me moved in. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and local market. Just as important, he never was in a rush for us to make a decision, but instead patiently let us explore the area over several weeks before making our final decision. We love our new home, and highly recommend Mike to anyone and everyone wanting a home in the Wasatch. Aaron L. | Home Buyer
My family has vacationed in Park City, Utah for the past six years. Initially, we went to Park City for mountain biking, and we stayed in an array of rental properties in various areas to experience different mountain homes, proximity to old town, amenities, and size. We looked at homes for nearly five years before buying. Mike Carollo first assisted our son in viewing the Park City area and potential home sites. Mike was personable, honest, reliable, and quickly became our "go to" person for nearly every question we had regarding the area. Mike knew we wanted a specific type of mountain home/property, and he worked extremely diligently to find what was available within our price range and size. He arranged showings when we were in town (frequently on short notice), was considerate of our time and privacy, and remained accessible to us despite multiple changes with NO resentment or hard feelings when we headed back to Florida undecided. Mike Carollo listened, researched, communicated, negotiated, and literally did not stop until we found the absolute most perfect mountain home in July, 2021. We love this home and take every opportunity to travel to Park City with family and friends. We strongly recommend Mike Carollo if you are in the market for house or property purchase in Park City, as he is not only knowledgeable but clearly loves this area and enjoys his job. He made an arduous process as easy and timely as possible. Mike continues to help us with questions, needs, and most of all with his friendship! Valerie L. | Home Buyer
We are so grateful for Alana's hard work and dedication. She was on top of every detail, from the initial home search to the final closing. Her professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made the whole experience a joy. We worked with her to purchase our first home, and we couldn’t be happier. She was extremely knowledgeable about the local market and made the whole process feel effortless. She guided us through each step, making sure we understood everything. We can’t thank her enough! natiicsg | Home Buyer
Alana Pol is an excellent real estate agent. She helped us navigate a tough market and purchase our dream home in the Park City area. After working with another agent in the Park City area who did not work out, Alana was such a welcome change. It was immediately apparent that we found the right agent for us and that Alana was a step above the others. Alana is incredibly thorough and so responsive. Since we are not local to the area, Alana would do virtual tours of the properties for us. Those virtual tours made all the difference in the purchasing process. We went into escrow on our home before ever seeing it with our own eyes, but trusted Alana and her videos to know it was the right property for us. Alana's quick work was the only way that we could stay competitive in this hot market, where acting fast is the only way you can get a property. After our offer was accepted, Alana led us through a complex escrow with professionalism and expertise. She always protected our interests and made sure that we were aware of each step in the process. If you are in the market for a home in the Park City area, I cannot recommend Alana enough. user516289 | Home Buyer
Alana did a fantastic job assisting us with our home purchase! She quickly keyed in on what was important to us and helped us narrow our focus! She went the extra mile to get answers from the county on building restrictions, which saved us time and money! She was extremely responsive and so helpful throughout the entire process! We highly recommend her! jmfisch | Home Buyer

Working with an Engel & Völkers advisor provides you with access to an extensive suite of marketing capabilities, inclusive of local expertise and global reach.
Property staging will help present your property at its best, as well as to capture the emotion of the buyer, who will be making one of the biggest purchases of their lifetime.

STRATEGIZE A smooth and successful move is only possible with a plan. Select a moving day to work toward. Identify and engage a moving company as soon as possible – Engel & Völkers is happy to make a local recommendation.
Packing Tips
Separate your valuables and important documents, and keep them with you during the move. Prepare a ‘Start-up Kit’ of items and box those up to take with you as well. This way if your belongings arrive late, or you are delayed in unpacking, you will have what you need immediately on hand. Label boxes by items and room to make unpacking an easier process.
Moving Checklist
PACK Purchase your moving supplies including boxes, moving labels, bubble wrap etc. and begin packing items that won’t be needed between now and your move date. These include things like decorations, photos and off season clothing. Then, schedule how and when to pack remaining items based on room or another category that will make the unpacking process easier.
DECLUTTER AND DONATE Before you begin packing up boxes, take inventory of your furniture and other belongings to decide what to keep and what to purge. If items are not worth the effort of packing, moving and unpacking, consider donating, selling or discarding them.
CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS Make sure to not only update your address with friends, family and service providers, but also any mailing clubs, subscriptions and utility companies for both ending services and activating them at your new address.
MOVING DAY This is the day when your moving strategy pays off and your focus can be on saying goodbyes and looking forward to what’s next. If possible, leave your appliance manuals and warranty information for the new owner and bring all sets of keys, garage door openers and any similar loose items with your advisor or at the property.
13
FINAL PREPARATIONS If you’ve followed the steps above, you should have just a few remaining tasks like minor patch and paint jobs, emptying the pantry and cleaning, alongside packing up final items.
