It was Michele's initiative, going door to door in our neighborhood, that brought us together. We got to know her better on several subsequent visits and she kept in touch even though we were not thinking of selling at that time. Later, when we started looking to buy a home out of state (in Hawaii) and our realtor there became ill, Michele interviewed colleagues there to find an agent who would work well with us. And meanwhile she kept us informed of the changing market in our area. When were ready to put our house on the market for sale, there was no question who we wanted as our agent. In spite of a rapidly cooling market and hardship in her personal life, Michele worked with us to set a reasonable and attractive sale price and organized several open houses, which resulted in a faster sale than we imagined possible. Michele is knowledgeable, hard working and very professional. Most impressive to me are her outstanding initiative and concern for her clients.
