    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

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!

    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.

    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!
