About Mike:

“I am a Broker/Realtor at Torii Homes, servicing Massachusetts and New Hampshire. My goal is to make buying, selling, and renting an understandable and transparent process. The pillars of my approach are listening, communicating directly and often, and exuding good energy with a balanced temperament. This has allowed me to gain the trust of over 250 clients since I entered real estate in 2015.

My enthusiasm for my job comes from the people I get to interact with and the longstanding relationships that are created. I look to build community wherever I go, introducing clients to others who live in the area, vendors, restaurants, and anything else that fits their interests.

Considered very much an “activities person” by friends, you can find me playing pick-up basketball throughout Greater Boston, on the softball field, training for the Boston Marathon, or at a concert or comedy show. I am a proud Boston College alum and board member of The Brittany Fund for Trauma and Recovery.”

Reviews:

Mike did an A+ job helping my family buy our home on the south shore. Mike helped navigate the process, was super responsive and was integral in the negotiation. His network for lawyers, inspectors, insurance brokers and mortgage connections served us from the showing to close. Thanks Mike!

– Dan R, bought a home in October 2025

Mike Sokolowski was everything we hoped for in a selling agent and so much more. We were navigating a tricky market with a limited number of comparable sales and some truly strange behavior from a few buyers who submitted offers. Mike guided us through it all with skill, professionalism, and a sense of humor that kept us grounded. He came highly recommended by a friend and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly we clicked and became something of kindred spirits. Mike brought a fun and positive energy to the process, marketed our home with care and creativity, and helped us make confident decisions at every step. We are incredibly grateful to have had Mike in our corner. He made a complicated process feel smooth and even enjoyable. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone selling (or buying!) a home.

– Matthew Moellman, Sold a single family home in 2025 in July 2025

Mike helped us when we bought our condo 5 years ago and when we sold it this year. He is friendly, experienced, honest, and we have no regrets about our decision in either case. He made the experience as enjoyable and low stress as possible and was always responsive to questions and concerns that came up.

– Kevin Freeman, Bought and sold a home in March 2025

Mike has been an exceptional agent through two purchases for us now. For our first, his negotiation expertise helped us get our home for exactly the price we wanted. For our second, his rapport with the seller’s agent led us to a fantastic off-market place when we were just about to give up in a tough buyer’s market. His communication, responsiveness, and follow up were perfect for both. I’d recommend Mike to anyone, and would never use another agent.

– Dan R. Forward, bought a home in July 2024

Excellent! Mike is a thorough professional, knows the market, is a superb negotiator. In addition to his impressive expertise, he sincerely cares about his clients and is able to establish a frank dialog with the seller’s agent that facilitates the process. You couldn’t find a better agent and advocate.

– Mayers Donna, Bought a condo in July 2024

Mike was amazing in helping me find the perfect place to rent! Being in a pinch needing to find a place quickly, Mike was super attentive, listened to what I was looking for, and always offered great advice. He remained extremely patient with me and understanding of what I was looking for! Thank you, Mike!!

– Kathleen Sarpu, Rented a condo in April 2024

Mike was the everything we could have asked for. He scouted the homes, prepared the visits, and armed us with the information we needed to make a decision. When it was time to make an offer, Mike knew the market and the sellers’ expectations. He was responsive and professional. A real home run!

– Kenneth Kaufman, Bought a single family home in February 2024

We worked with Mike for the purchase of our 1st home and can’t say enough good things about him. As 1st time home buyers, we needed a lot of guidance and hand-holding throughout the whole process. Mike went out of his way to clearly explain every step of the process and answer our questions/concerns in a timely manner. It was an especially volatile market while we were buying, and we took a long time to figure out what we wanted (all our own fault!). This caused our search to go on for several months. Despite this, Mike was incredibly patient – consistently going with us to over 30 viewings and providing us with invaluable guidance and information at every single one. In the end we found our dream home well within our price range and couldn’t be happier. We intend to work with him for all of our real estate needs in the future and highly recommend him to everyone else!

– Leslie Cormier, Bought a townhouse in January 2023

Mike was the perfect realtor to work with, especially as a first time buyer. He was extremely knowledgeable and conveyed every step of the process clearly and in a way that made the everything feel more manageable. He was very responsive each step of the way and added his particular flair of fun that made the process stress free and enjoyable all the way to closing. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to buy a property.

– Kelly O’Sullivan, Bought a condo in November 2022

Working with Mike was a tremendous experience. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Boston real estate market and always goes above and beyond to deliver throughout the whole process. Mike was by far the best agent I have worked with, and I would recommend him to everyone.

– Julien Seguin, Sold a condo in November 2022

Mike is an amazing realtor/agent. He is very experienced, very caring, very helpful, smart and a 100% dedicated agent to serve ALL your real estate needs, with ALWAYS immediate and thorough feedbacks for your real estate needs. He is ALWAYS available to you for anything without any time constraints. He was able to finish up my deal just in a matter of couple weeks, while also connecting me with one of the most decent financial institutions in the US on very decent mortgage terms to ensure that I have had the best deal possible, especially in this very tough market environment. Mike is simply amazing and I fully recommend him to everyone for ALL their real estate needs. He is a real Pro to work with.

– Mike Ted, Bought a single family home in November 2022

I worked with Mike Sokolowski on the purchase of my first home and could not be more pleased with his help and the overall process. Being my first home, I was both absolutely clueless about the process and a nervous buyer (hey – big decision!), and Mike and Torii made the entire process seamless.

– K Healy, Bought a home in October 2022

Mike Sokolowski and the Torii team provided amazing service. I am a first-time homebuyer and I cannot say enough about how great and easy my experience has been. Can’t get a better deal in town than the Torii!

– Will McCurdy, Bought a multiple-occupancy home in August 2022

Mike the the Torii team were amazing! They helped make our first home-buying experience seem effortless and easy. Mike’s expertise helped us get our first home below the asking price, and they saved us so much on our closing costs. They set us up with an extremely competent and friendly team of lawyers and mortgage lenders, which was invaluable in saving us from having to do that daunting research ourselves. We couldn’t recommend them more, they are absolutely essential for any first-time home buyers!

– Rogers Kels, Bought a townhouse in January 2021

I can’t imagine going through the real estate process with anyone else besides Mike and his Torii team. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions and Mike was there for me every step of the way. He had great insights at open houses, provided valuable recommendations for making an offer, and was always available when I had questions or concerns. I’ve been living in my new home for a month now and would not hesitate to recommend Mike to anyone looking to purchase a home.

–  Catherine Groux, Bought a single family home in December 2020

As a first time homebuyer, the process can be daunting to say the least. I cannot imagine having gone through this process with anyone other than the entire Torii team. Mike and Lauren answered the million questions I had, gave me insight with their expertise, and always made sure I felt comfortable with every decision. Seriously cannot recommend them enough for the ideal home buying experience and let’s not forget the closing costs they put back into your pocket!

– Anmol Mehta, Bought a home in November 2020

Torii is INCREDIBLE, and it amazes me that there are so many people out there using still a traditional real estate model. Torii has a totally client-centric approach, and makes it effortlessly easy for buyers. My fiancé and I just bought our first home (after touring 45 houses and having no idea what the buying process would entail), and had the immense pleasure of working closely with Mike. He really understood us and our requirements, and was super responsive. He knew the market, and ultimately, his prior working relationship with the sellers’ agent helped us get a leg up during the offer and negotiation process. The “team” (mortgage broker, inspector, insurance broker, attorney) were all super coordinated and in lock-step throughout the whole process. We never felt pressured to use Torii’s preferred partners, but can’t even imagine trying to navigate everything with a group of people who didn’t know how to work together. It was every efficient; everyone we worked with was superb and made us feel that we were getting a great value. The best part (there are so many of them!)? We got fully reimbursed for all closing costs the DAY OF closing. Torii really does live up to the hype and deliver on their promises in every way. EXCELLENT experience. Thank you, Mike!

– Ellen Contois, Bought a single family home in October 2020

Mike was hugely helpful and available throughout our entire process. He made sure we knew what we needed to do to beat 9 other offers and land our first home. Whole process, between the listings he sent us to a near seamless close, was great. Next time we’re looking for a home we’d seek out Zillow specifically to work with him again.

– Dan Huddell, Bought a single family home in October 2020

I worked with Mike and the Torii team to purchase a condo recently in the very competitive greater Boston market. I can’t say enough good things about their team and what they have to offer. The sell to get you in the door is that they can save you money on closing costs, which is great, who doesn’t want to save money. I thought I would have to do more of the leg work using this modern age realty service. The reality is that they had a team of people that they partner with from lenders and attorneys to inspectors and insurance brokers. They rapidly got me started on a pre-approval and set up an appointment to get me in the door of my future condo. We were able to provide a competitive offer with an incredible timeline and we closed inside of a month. The team was always responsive and always made sure I had everything I needed to make this transaction as smooth and comfortable as possible. They get you in the door with some closing costs savings, but the reality for me was that their incredible team made this whole thing possible and they could have kept the savings and it still would have been worth it. I highly recommend their services to anyone in the area that is need of a realty team.

– Ben Ferrara, Bought a condo home in July 2020

AMAZING experience! We bought our first house with Mike using Torii and they made the whole process super easy and stress-free. We also saved over $5k in closing costs, the best decision we ever made!

– Sophie B. Cole, Bought a single family home in July 2020

Mike was awesome to work with. He was very available and responsive and forthcoming with really excellent knowledge. He’s a really fun guy and a joy to be around.

– Z. Piccioli, Sold a home in June 2020

My experience with Mike Sokolowski was amazing. He is friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, and willing to help us at all times. He explained the entire home buying process at a level we could understand and thanks to him we have the home of our dreams. I would recommend working with Mike to anyone.

– Sean Ghz, Bought a condo in May 2020

Mike was super helpful when making the offer, he knew exactly how much to offer to beat the other bids without overpaying. The Torii team was great to work with, they all work together seamlessly to make things go smoothly with very little input from you (the buyer). You can confidently trust their process and partners to take care of everything. One piece of advice is that you can consider different lenders through Torii, as there are a few that they will pay the closing costs for. Torii does not control interest rates or approvals, but they can help you navigate the process and of course pay the closing costs. We are extremely thankful for Torii and 10/10 would use them again!

– Stephanie M. Knowlton, Bought a single family home in February 2020

Buying a home with Torii as a first time homebuyer was easier than I could have even imagined! Mike was so helpful along every step of the way, and I cannot recommend him enough to every single person I meet. At first I thought it was too good to be true, but it ended up being even BETTER! Having Torii coordinate every part of purchasing a home saved me so much time and stress during a time that can be really overwhelming. I honestly don’t know why anyone would use anyone other than the folks at Torii when purchasing a home!

– Rebecca Olbrys, Bought a single family home in February 2020

I had an excellent experience as a first time home buyer with Torii. Mike and Lauren were incredibly helpful and friendly, and made what can be a complicated process, easy and stress free. The money that was put towards my closing costs was an added bonus. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a realtor to buy property in Boston!

– Jennifer Lawlor, Bought a condo in November 2019

I recently purchased a home through Torii and it was a great experience. Mike did a fantastic job of guiding me through the buying process. He was very responsive and patient with my constant inquires. We were able to beat out several other offers on the house thanks to Mike’s diligence and advice. The promise of Torii paying my closing costs almost seemed almost too good to be true. But sure enough, the rebates added up to several thousand dollars and reduced some of the sting of such a large purchase. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with Torii and would highly recommend to anyone.

– Keith Marfione, Bought a single family home in October 2019

We absolutely loved working with Mike and the Torii team, who helped us navigate this crazy world as first-time home-buyers. Everything was super easy and seamless, and we were able to find and get an offer accepted on a home we love only 2 weeks after starting our search in the Boston area, which I largely attribute to Mike’s knowledge and lovable personality. Who wouldn’t want to accept an offer from this guy??

– Samantha Ward, Bought a single family home in October 2019

Working with Mike made our first home buying experience simple. He kept us in the loop every step of the way and was able to answer all of our questions. All of the members of the home buying team that Mike brought to the table were great. During a process that for many can be very stressful, we were not as we knew we were in good hands! We appreciated all of the personal touches such as the delivery of treats from a local bakery and the Move In Survival Kit. Mike even captured photographs of our family during all of the milestones of the process. HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Mike Sokolowski!

– K. Mandonas, Bought a single family home in October 2019

As first time home-buyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Torii. We were settled in our new home in just over a month after meeting Mike. Saving money on closing costs is great, but the easy experience and guidance were the real benefits!

– Casey Flight, Bought a condo in June 2019

I had a great experience using the Torii Team and Mike made this process incredibly easy. I was a first-time buyer and he guided me through every step of the process and answered my MANY questions along the way ??. He had recommendations for people to use at every stage of the process (legal team, insurance agency, etc.) but was never pushy about using those referrals and I could tell he was focused on doing what was right for me. I really enjoyed the move-in survival box (nice surprise!) and of course Torii paid for all my closing costs which was a big help to me. I would highly recommend working with Mike in the future!

– Chris Humphrey, Bought a home in May 2019

We could not be more satisfied with the entire Torii Team and are so delighted to be new homeowners! Mike was patient and trustworthy, walking us through each step in the buying process. He was prompt to respond to our emails and text messages, and he exceeded our expectations in coordinating open house visits for us. After our offer was accepted, Mike and the Torii group provided a fantastic team of lenders, inspection agents, closing attorneys and insurance providers that made the buying process a complete breeze. We genuinely felt that Mike had our best interest in mind when we were making our first offer, going through the inspection process and working through details of our purchase and sale. It was also such a blessing to have ALL of our closing costs covered through the Torri group. We would highly recommend Torii to future home buyers—it made our first purchase incredibly smooth and successful!

– Jonathan Adam, Bought a Condo home in April 2019

I cannot say enough good things about our experience using Torii. Our realtor, Mike, was amazing and such a good fit for us. My husband had a weird sense of humor and Mike took everything in stride. He never pushed us into anything, and listened to us when we would go through a house listing things we did or did not like, making sure to point out things he thought we should know about as we went along. I had been stressing so much about this process, but using Torii made everything go so smoothly I had nothing to worry about. They referred me to a mortgage broker I felt comfortable with, and even encouraged me to get a second opinion. I never felt like I had to use “their people” but their people were so great to work with and gave me more help/better rates than anyone else that I didn’t want to go anywhere else! Everyone was so knowledgeable and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. Having Mike there to co-ordinate with everyone for me took so much stress off my shoulders. It made the process so much simpler and quick. And if that wasn’t enough, getting some money back at close was such a huge help for us, knowing that we had saved for years for a house of our own and would be getting some of that money back was absolutely mind blowing. Everything they did helped us get a much better experience as first time home buyers than we ever hoped for. The move-in survival kit was just the icing on the cake. Seriously, if you are planning on buying a house, you will not regret using Torii. Best decision we ever made.

– Shannon Taber, Bought a home in April 2019

After our previous residence sustained extensive fire and smoke damage which left our home uninhabitable, my boyfriend and I desperately needed a new home. Mike and the entire Torii team made the home buying process not only quick and efficient, but stress free amongst the chaos of piecing our lives back together! Without this wonderful team of people, we would not have bought and closed on a home in a months time. Loved working with Torii and would do so again in a heart beat!!
