Friendly and knowledgeable

We live out of state and Michelle kept in touch with us sending many properties for us to view. We found a property we really wanted and even while she was on her vacation she made it happen for us! Michelle is very knowledgeable and walked us through every detail of the purchase of our new home.

A Delight to Work With

When it was time to sell my mom’s 50+ year old home, Michelle was our logical choice for a realtor. A decade earlier she had helped us purchase our vacation home in Sarasota. Michelle was extremely helpful through the process (one example - walked us through how to deal with an open/denied permit on one of the home’s features). She also has an amazing network of contractors (one example - provided a list of companies who could assist with the estate sale). A delight to work with, it’s my pleasure to provide this recommendation!

Michelle provided outstanding service

Michelle concentrated on properties that met our criteria. We concluded our search in less than one week and she found a property in our preferred location just as soon as it became available. We immediately offered the asking price as an all-cash sale and the offer was accepted immediately. Everything went far more smoothly than we had anticipated. We expected to have to come back another time to find what we wanted, but Michelle was able to find the right solution in an extremely short time frame. Michelle was very pleasant and professional to work with.

Above and Beyond

We were new to the area and Michelle lined up many homes for us to view against the backdrop of a very robust market. She was present every step of the way; initial offer, negotiation, inspection, walk thru, and closing, offering sound advice, recommendations for local services and even found some furnishings to help us in the initial move. Great market knowledge and connections. Highly recommended.
