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.
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 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.
Helped me with every facet of the buying experience plus a whole lot more went above and beyond to make my move run smoothly highly recommended I've only met a few real estate agents in my life that are worth a damn and she's one of them
Michelle was a great resource. Very helpful and knowledgeable.
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.
We recently worked with Michelle Crabtree to sell our house in Nokomis, FL. Eight days later, after having accepted a purchase contract, we asked her to help us in purchasing a new home in Sarasota County. Through out both the selling and buying process, Michelle was always there to provide the answers to our countless questions and provide the necessary technical guidance. Although I will never say selling/buying a home is enjoyable or easy, Michelle's pleasant and reassuring demeanor makes it about as good as it can get. Her knowledge and service is second to none.
Michelle was knowledgeable, professional, and responsive to our needs and wants. We are from out of state and she made it so easy for us even when we not here locally. After we closed, she has been super responsive to questions about LWR and the area. I highly recommend Michelle. She is awesome!
Michelle's experience was invaluable. She knew the area well and once we gave her our requirements for a home she began sending us homes to review as they came up on the MLS. We began our search in November 2019 with Michelle and sold our Maryland home in May 2020 and came to Florida where we continued our home search. Michelle maintained contact with us regularly over those months. Michelle knows the area very well and being new to Florida her advice was a great comfort. We found a home in July 2020 and settled September 2020. Being our 5th home buy over the years this was the smoothest experience we have had thanks to Michelle. She found the home we had always dreamed of with all the check boxes checked. We highly recommend her for her knowledge and professionalism.
Michelle is a terrific realtor! I have worked with Michelle in purchasing a home and recently selling my home in Lakewood Ranch. With my recent sale I had a contract within three days! She is a true professional, kind, efficient and has a great knowledge of the Sarasota County and Manatee County properties in addition to surrounding areas. She has a listening ear and will work with you to achieve your individual goals. I highly recommend Michelle and give her an A+
Can't say anything more than excellent. We would give her a ten. Can't miss.
We first met Michelle at an open house she had listed in the Mote Ranch development. Her intimate knowledge of Mote Ranch, both as a resident and realtor were invaluable. Our mother's home was located in Mote Ranch. We evaluated three real estate agents and selected Michelle. From the final steps before going to market, marketing, negotiations, and closing we were very pleased with the results. The home was under contract in 3 weeks. Michelle's high energy and drive, professionalism, and staying on top of the contract purchaser led to a rapid closing, even with the uncertainty of pandemic that we all must continue to face. Well done, Michelle!
