Testimonials

We wanted to sell our house for over a year but the logistics to make that happen seemed
insurmountable. Michelle came at the right time and convinced us that through her guidance we could get our house ready in two weeks. We worked hard, and Michelle found very affordable solutions for landscaping and staging to present our home in the best possible light. We were amazed with the results. The professional photos enticed potential buyers online, the fresh
landscaping enhanced curb appeal, and the welcoming interiors allowed others to envision
themselves in the space.

Although this can be a difficult market for sellers, Michelle convinced us to price our home competitively so that it would sell. This proved sage advice. Within 24 hours of
listing we had nine offers. Michelle’s professionalism was especially evident during the evening when multiple offers were presented. She helped us sift through the buyers’ emotions to focus on what would be the best offer for us. In the end we settled on a sales price well over our original listing and beyond anything that we had ever expected.

I highly recommend Michelle to others who are serious about selling their home.  It can be a tricky process and having expert professional guidance can make a big difference.

As a real estate principle broker making the move with my family to the Seattle area from Los Angeles I searched for a local realtor to work with who was professional, knowledgeable and didn’t chatter aimlessly. I found that in Michelle. After meeting 20 or so realtors on our first house hunting trip, Michelle was the only one I could even envision working with. She didn’t disappoint. Michelle knows the Seattle market and works hard to get the deal done. I recommend her to both buyers and sellers.

“I have particularly enjoyed working with Michelle in our home sale and purchase needs because she has class and excellent taste.  I completely trust and value her judgment and would not
hesitate to ask her to select a home on my behalf, if necessary, because I know that she would make a wonderful, discerning and informed decision.  She is thorough, professional and very well informed about the real estate market and has always steered us down the right path, with
honesty and integrity.” 

Mindy Geisser, VP of Global HR Colliers International

Michelle is head and shoulders above others in her industry. She exceeds all expectations in terms of expertise, insight and professionalism. I highly recommend her if you are buying or
selling a home in the Seattle area.

Melanie Coon,

It is hard to believe it has already been a month since I left Kirkland and relocated to Portland. ...Things could not have possibly have gone as smoothly, however, had I not had the benefit of your help with the sale of my home—which brings me to the true purpose of this letter.

In particular, I would like to thank you for the sense of priority and personalized attention which you gave to my home sale.  As you may recall, when I first contacted you I was a moderately motivated seller with no particular schedule driving my relocation to Portland. Thanks to fate and good fortune, however, I secured a good job far more quickly than I had anticipated, which instantly turned me into a motivated seller with a serious schedule to contend with.  While in my mind a was reconciled to the idea of dealing with the potential reality of having to relocate prior to the sale and closing of my home, your expeditiousness with respect to all aspects of my home sale not only saved me from having to realize that burden but even resulted in a firm offer on my home a mere two weeks following its listing and an official closing shortly there after.

Of further note and consequence was the dedicated and innovative approach you brought to the hosting of Open House events for my home. One in particular deserve special mention– the one where you stayed with the house several hours after the power had gone off in the area just in case a prospective buyer might stop by and want to take a closer look.  I also will never forget the wonderful aroma that the house emanated after each open house– thanks to your secret potpourri recipe. Furthermore, on more than one instance you personally saw to it that questionable items regarding the condition of the property were resolved as quickly as possible and to the satisfaction of all parties– a fact that literally saved my closing date.

Michelle, I have had the privilege of working with you not only on the aforementioned home sale, but on the initial purchase of that same home as well, and I would like to conclude by reiterating my respect for the professional and personalized service you consistently provide. Count me in as another completely satisfied customer.

Just a quick note to thank you so much for everything in securing my new home! I am so excited...I just think it’s perfect! I appreciate that you were willing to meet us at such a late hour to write up the offer, which turned out to be crucial with the multiple offers. Also, all of your follow up, direction, drama/trauma skills :), and negotiating definitely made the difference in my family winding up with the property. What a great agent you are!

Thank you for all of your hard work helping us with our house. You really made us feel comfortable with the home buying process. We really appreciate it!

Justin & Michelle
 

Here is copy of the email I sent to my Aunt.  Michelle is a fabulous broker and I can’t emphasis how strongly I like her, not just as a professional, but a person too. She’s highly skilled, has great people skills, isn’t pushy, but very considerate towards her clients needs. She really is on top of it all. The purchase of my house went off without a hiccup from offer to close.
