Michelle was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our home buying experience a positive one. She was patient with our search, but quick moving once we were ready to make an offer and followed through to ensure a smooth closing. Michelle - thank you for your help. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.
Michelle has helped us with two transactions in recent years and we could not be happier with her services. She knows the SLO market like the back of her hand and we would never have been able to do these deals without her able assistance.
Michelle was very professional in all of our interactions. She was super responsive by text, email and phone and was very helpful in providing solid referrals and resources, as I lived out of the area and was trying to sell the property for a relative. She was able to work around and be accommodating to my limited time schedule, often connecting with me after routine business hours. Michelle was valuable in determining an appropriate price point that would help to get it sold quickly at a competitive rate. I highy recommend Michelle McElrath!
Michelle did a fabulous job assisting in the sale of our condo. She was professional, prompt, knowledgeable of the market, and attentive to our needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or refer her.
Michelle was a dream to work with. I felt I hit the jackpot that I was able to work with her. She was so professional she went over everything with me explained everything, she guided me through the process to fill out forms, what a buyers looking for and what I needed to do with my home to get it on the market. She did a fantastic job in staging my home. I trusted her opinion and her expertise. She was in constant contact with me, so I knew exactly what I needed to do. It was a seamless process. Everything went smooth. I hope one day I will get to work with her again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone that is buying or selling a home
When I first started my search for a new home 140 miles north of my present home, I came across a newsletter Michelle McElworth sent out to the local homeowners in the Five Cities Area. I gave Michelle a call- which she promptly returned. She turned out to be wonderful to work with- professional, responsive and an all around nice person. The Five Cities has been Michelle’s own community for many years Her enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area gave me confidence in my decision to make the big move north. She also got me started with a really great mortgage team so there would be no delays when the time came to make an offer. Buying a house far from your home base can be difficult. Michelle arranged Facetime showings to help me decide whether or not to make the drive for an in- person visit. After a few months of looking, a potential house turned up that checked all the boxes. Michelle encouraged me to come up right away. I really liked the house and she put together an offer that got to the seller that same day. The offer was crafted to appeal to the seller's particular situation. Michelle nailed it! The seller chose my offer over a competing offer that was actually a little higher. The 30 day escrow was challenging what with paperwork, inspection, repairs and a tenant left only a few days before closing. But at closing I got an immaculate home in good repair . Michelle had persuaded the seller to get a cleaning crew and a handyman to get the house move-in ready. Even after the closing Michelle was there for me and helped me manage the termite tenting preparations. As I start to enjoy my new house, I know she will have recommendations for everything from gutter cleaning to decorators. Obviously I would go to Michelle again as a buyer or a seller. She listens to what you say and gets right to work. She has great resources and good negotiating skills. And- so important- she is a really nice person.
Michelle is truly amazing. She sold a property for me within the first week of listing and even got over the asking price! (This was a pleasant surprised being it was Christmas time ). The property initially was a mess and she was fantastic at organizing her vendors to get all needed work done in a short time line. Additionally, her response time was usually within an hour, which actually surprised me how receptive she was throughout the process. Would highly recommend her for any real estate needs.
We had a wonderful experience working with Michelle! We happened upon her and quickly realized that she is a gem. She guided us through our journey of selling a home for the first time and purchasing a new one. She was always patient, calm, professional, and communicative. Michelle kept our spirits up when things became complicated and helped us push through those complications with her knowledge and expertise. She went above and beyond, especially when it came to assisting potential buyers with complicated needs. We felt that we were in good hands with her and are so grateful to have found her!
Michelle was always courteous and professional. More importantly to me, she listened. She understood exactly what I wanted and didn't waste my time by taking me to see anything that didn't fit my goals. I was picky and she was patient. I never felt "pushed." When I finally found the perfect property, she negotiated a really good deal for me, and walked me easily through the process. I recommend her highly.
I never would have been able to go through the difficult process of sell my moms home. As executor of her estate, the task fell to me. In walks Michelle and guides me through everything I needed to do. What a life saver she was. She often had to dry my tears because I was treading in foreign waters. Thanks to Michelle, all got taken care of and she got my moms house sold. She went above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you so much Michelle. You’re one in a million!!
We were successful in the selling of our house & property due to Michelle's knowledge, diligence & follow up. We have worked with her on previous transactions as well and the end result has always been success.
We wanted our condo to be move-in ready when put on the market. It needed painting, carpet, a thorough cleaning and some minor repairs. We do not live in the SLO area. Michelle organized and supervised the work. All of the work was completed quickly and to our satisfaction. Michelle has excellent knowledge of the SLO market so was able to set a price that would encourage interest. The condo was put on the market on a Friday and was in escrow on Thursday of the following week. There were only a couple of issues along the way and Michelle was quick to make the contacts necessary to resolve these. Our phone calls and texts were answered promptly. We feel fortunate to have had Michelle to guide us through the sale.
