Michelle is a fantastic realtor. She is smart, well-connected and straightforward about the best approach to selling our home quickly (2 days on market!) and for top dollar. We have complete confidence and trust in her.
We met with Michele to find out about buying a home in Corbett and we’re were so impressed by her, we asked her to sell our North Portland home. She walked us through every step of the process and was always available. Highly recommend her!
Michelle has been such a supportive resource on this process. As a first time seller of a home, she helped to make the process so much less stressful than it could have been. She gave great suggestions and overall positive energy that made the sell of my home come out with the best possible outcome. I can't thank her enough for helping me through the process, when the time was perfect for myself and the new buyers. I definitely would recommend Michelle to any buyer or seller, as she is a wonderful light in this world!
I was completely new to the home-selling process and felt I needed someone who was an expert in the Corbett market. From the first meeting I could tell Michelle was the best person to help me sell my mother's home. Her knowledge, her dedication, her genuine heart, were all essential to getting this unique property sold. She is active in the community and seems to know just about everyone (and if she doesn't, she knows somebody who knows somebody). She will be your staunchest ally in this process, able to hold your hand when you need it but also able to dole out some real truth. She explained the process in detail, kept me informed every step of the way, and always asked how I was feeling about, or did I have questions about, the progress, necessary steps, etc. She also has a great support team. Her thoroughness, her expansive knowledge of the complexities of rural properties, her commitment to help build a thriving community, these are just a few of Michelle's many strengths.
Michelle was wonderful to work with! There was a lot to deal with during the sale of our home and property and she was always available to help with everything. She made a very difficult life change so smooth and easy. I truly appreciate all the small things she did along with the large ways she helped.
I cannot praise Michelle highly enough. From our first contact to closing on two homes (a long and sometimes discouraging process), she maintained close contact, held our hands when needed, and kept us moving forward. No one knows the Corbett market better! Michelle is a true professional who makes lifelong friends.
Michelle is a very committed and passionate agent who works tirelessly (regardless of where on the planet she is at any given moment) to navigate through the entire process of selling a home. She met with me and toured the home multiple times prior to listing, advising on staging and pre-listing repairs. She helped strategize on the listing price. She advertised and got the word out in the community about the home and open house. She was proactive about keeping in touch with potential buyers' agents. She solicited feedback and helped me revise my staging in response. She kept diligent track of other comparably priced homes and advised me of the conditions of the market in my area. Once we were pending, Michelle was laser focused on keeping documents in order and accurate, communicating with the buyers' agent and title company, and advising me of every step along the way. She kept me on track with my moving out tasks with her pro-active communication style. She is smart, trustworthy, and knows what she is doing! There is no agent I would recommend more than Michelle Smith. Six stars!
We really appreciate the service that Michelle provided throughout the entire process of selling our house! She offered valuable guidance, prudence in making decisions, and patiently supported us to the end.
I have had several realtors in my past purchases, but noone like Michelle! The process went so smooth and she has the best communication. I WILL refer her to others so they can expierence it for themselves! Michelle is a treasure.
Michelle has great attention to detail and prioritized what we wanted. She took the time to sit down with us and ensure we both had an opportunity to go over what our priorities were individually and together allowing us both to be heard. She explained everything at each step and was quick to respond to any questions! She is great to work with!
Michelle kept contact with me often, explaining every aspect of the sale of my home. She is professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Marilyn Anderson
We had no choice but to start over in life. Luckily, we knew Michelle was trustworthy. That was where we started; with Michelle, a new job and a plan. She was so in tune with our situation and our vision for the future, she often showed us listings that we later sent back to her! Every step of the way, she checked in on our progress and guided us through whichever phase of paperwork. Because we trust her, getting into a pile of documents seemed procedural rather than intimidating. We knew we could trust that the documents were what she said and we knew she would make sure we finished them completely, on time. Instead of feeling like a double check, she made our contact more like an ongoing conversation about the progress of our homebuying journey. The journey takes us home! Michelle made us feel comfortable with the process of homebuying; it was easy understand how far we had come, what was happening in the moment and what we could anticipate in the next phase. Somehow she knows everyone. Michelle's network of professionals is fantastic and available. She has someone ready to solve whichever problem, but is not pushy about choosing them. Our home inspection was very detailed and though she was always a guardian of our interests... during negotiations she is almost savage. She wanted us to get everything we wanted and needed, even if we didn't understand how important it was. This ALL went down in 7 months. We experienced a tragic life change, pivoted to Michelle and now over the last few days... we have been moving in to our new home. Listen to her. She is listening to you. She has knowledge and experience that applies to the situation, that you might not fully understand. It is terrifying to start over. She has seen difficulties and helped people out of them. Be honest with her. To any new home buyer: I know it's complex and frightening. Work with Michelle, so you can relax and enjoy the journey! Michelle is the best real estate agent, ever. You can trust her.
