We strongly recommend Michelle Menna as the BEST choice for a realtor. Before we met Michelle, we had been in contact with two other realtors. None of them provided us with the expertise and outstanding service that we received from Michelle. I would like to express my extreme satisfaction with her performance as our real estate agent. She sold our apartment in August 2012. Michelle went way above and beyond the call of duty to complete the transaction. She knew the answers to almost all of our questions, and those that she had not run across before she researched and promptly got back to us. She was always reachable and on the rare occasions that we had to leave a message, she called us back very quickly. Her service was truly amazing. I cannot recommend her too highly!

After going through 2 real estate agents that didn't really seem to want to give us any attention we found Michelle, and we feel very lucky that we did. Not only did she help us find a home in a very competitive market, she really knew what she was talking about in terms of neighborhoods and schools. She kept us out of pitfalls with homes that had non permitted work and construction issues. Los Angeles is super competitive, and you need an agent that is on top of it and aggressive. Finding a house was one thing, but when we were in escrow Michelle really came through. There were so many things to negotiate that we would never have been able to keep it straight or get the best outcome possible without her. In the end we ended up purchasing a house in a neighborhood that we wanted with concessions from that seller that exceeded our expectations. We recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy on the West Side of Los Angeles.

What a pleasure it was to work with Michelle. When we were looking for our first home, we were in touch with a number of other realtors before we met Michelle and she was, quite simply, streets ahead (pun intended!).<br/><br/>It's not just that she's all the things you'd expect of a truly excellent realtor - extremely responsive, professional, knowledgeable, a skilled negotiator, always one step ahead in her ability to search out properties not yet on the market. It's all the extra touches that really make her stand out: her personalized approach, which makes you feel you're her first priority; her careful listening, her warmth, her maternal, but never overbearing, air. Michelle knows everyone, and is careful and honest in referring her clients to the best people in the business.<br/><br/>When we were buying our home, she was quick to see the potential in the property, and advised us with vision and insight on improvements and renovations that maximized the space, increased equity, and turned our house into a home. When our purchase almost fell through, she worked tirelessly to research, problem-solve and ultimately complete the sale.<br/><br/>With Michelle, there was never any of the sleaziness that we had felt when interacting with other realtors - the feeling that we were just another job to them, the feeling that they were in it to make a quick buck from us. Michelle really cares: she is patient, she is smart, she always endeavors to satisfy her clients, and above all, she is genuine and incredibly trustworthy. I can't say enough good things about her and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Feel free to contact us for a reference.<br/><br/>Hannah and Ilan Cohen

Michelle went above and beyond, doing open houses every weekend until the house sold. She was very knowledgeable and professional. Michelle also represented us in the purchase of our new home.
