What Michelle's Clients Say

Here is what Michelle's clients say about working with her...

We have the utmost respect for Michelle's abilities as our realtor and as a person. She is highly capable, professional, smart and hard working. The only regret we have is that we did not use her to help us buy our new home, only to sell our old home. We could have used her business acumen on our side for that transaction too! Having dealt with mediocre realtors in the past, it was apparent right the beginning of the process, that using Michelle was the best choice we could have made. I would definitely use her again and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who asked.
~ Helen Dawson

"Michelle worked hard to help us sell our house during a difficult economic climate. She always listened to what we wanted and helped us to find solutions that worked well for us. I would definitely hire Michelle again and I recommend her highly."
~ Bruce Dawson

Michelle, where do I start?? She is an amazing person and one of the best RE agents I have ever met. She was working with my brother and doing an amazing job of giving him more than he wanted. I met with her and within 4 houses we finalized the condo I ended up buying. She then after tirelessly working with my brother got him into the home he really loves as well. She is very patient, caring, and up front and honest. I have actually referred people to her and will continue to do so. She also has the best follow up I have ever seen. She continues to stay in contact with me and is always at the top of her game. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a place in the greater Seattle/Bellevue area. Thanks Michelle for all your hard work!~Troy Bernitter

I interviewed several agents, and Michelle had the best plan, was most energetic, and had the most data in my market analysis.  Since I decided on using her, she has been very involved and dependable, and shows much initiative. I would give her high marks so far. (House is not sold- but has not been on the market for a week yet!!)  I would recommend her to anyone trying to sell in this tough market.
~ Heidi VanDoren

MICHELLE FOUND US OUR DREAM HOUSE. We wanted to live in a certain area but our budget made it difficult to find suitable homes. My wife and I are very diligent and did a TON of research on our own outside of day-long searches with Michelle. In the end though, it was a lead on a foreclosure that Michelle pursued on her own that ended up being the perfect house and the most amazing bargain.Michelle's personality is a perfect mix; she has a laid back style yet possesses a shrewd business sense and a keen eye for finding the best deal possible. We appreciated the fact too that she was never afraid to speak her mind on a particular subject. Despite the house-hunting process itself being frustrating at times, it was always a pleasure to talk with Michelle and we felt like we could go through this major process at our own speed without being rushed.

I've worked with a two other very good realtors in the past and I would definintely rank Michelle as #1. " ~Matt Bernhard & Florence Farricker

"Michelle is a highly creative agent with excellent knowledge of her marketplace. She is GREAT to work with!"
~Bill & Annmarie Cassidy

"Michelle helped us buy a house in the Woodinville WA area. She knows her job very well and is very detailed in her job. She understands what the customer wants and did not push us into buying anything that would not fit our family. Michelle is very punctual and always happy to help us. 
~Deana Palmer
 

"I always feel confident recommending you because I know you take very good care of your clients, and you care so much about our community and neighborhood, as shown by your work on the road committee and our board.  I will continue to keep you in mind and it's obvious many others feel the way I do from seeing all your signs in our neighborhood and surrounds."
