As Your Buyer Agent – I have a unique ability to both listen and to draw out of you what you are truly wanting in a home. I will ask questions that will help me find you a home that matches your lifestyle as well as your needs. Purchasing real estate in the Bay Area is very competitive due to the low inventory and number of buyers looking in this very desirable area. It takes a great deal of patience, problem solving, and knowledge of the area to help clients find the right home in their perfect neighborhood. Buyers are many times making the biggest purchase of their life and need to understand the property values in the different areas so they do not over spend but also get the home of their dreams. I will assist you in things like getting prequalified financing, finding the right lender, builder, home inspector, title company, insurance, etc. I will use my skills as a professionally trained negotiator to minimize your purchase price and close the transaction as quickly as possible. Professionalism, communication skills, and the intimate knowledge and understanding of this area is crucial to helping my clients find their perfect home

If you’re reading this and you’ve been referred to Michelle, you’ve hit the jackpot! Michelle helped us to purchase our Dream Home. She made us feel like we were her only clients. Not only did she help us stay targeted in searching but when we finally found the house we liked she helped us negotiate prices for fixing it. Even when the selling agent was unresponsive she helped work through the curveballs with great ease. If you have the opportunity to have Michelle as your agent, you are in luck. She has great negotiation skills and is very attentive. She does a good job and now she is our good friend. Thank you, Michelle, for everything. -Dawn
I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! If you're looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to help you find the perfect home, look no further than Michelle. She is truly the best in the business and is very knowledgeable about the market. She is very reliable and is all around pleasant to work with. She also has a good eye for design and is great at making recommendations for improvements! -Kelly
Michelle is a real pro in the home real estate business. She knows the market really well and "what buttons to push at what time." She has a special talent in communicating with a potential buyer and that buyer's agent. Our house sold in a little over a week in a rapidly tight market. That is because Michelle had the right sense in pricing it to sell yet meeting our own objectives. Her recommendations for improvements were spot on giving us confidence about our sale. Her pleasant manner really stands out. We highly recommend her to anyone selling their home. - Ron
We totally enjoyed working with Michelle to sell our house. She understands the market and what needs to be done to get top dollar. From prep, to staging and marketing she was on top of things. This was a worry-free exercise for us. Thank you!! -Michael W.
I am a Real Estate Manager of over 125 agents. I chose Michelle to represent my daughter and son-in-law in the sale of their home. She oversaw preparation of the home from staging to all inspections. The home sold within a week at a great price and I don't think it would have happened without Michelle! -Ellen A.
