Michele made the process a breeze. We gave her our preferences and constraints and she took care of the rest; all we had to do was arrive at each showing she scheduled! As we walked through each house, Michele was very knowledgeable in helping us to understand potential areas of concern as well as what elements of a home were of especial value. Her trained eyes caught things that we would have never known to look for. Once we found the home of our dreams, Michele negotiated every part of our offer to make sure we were getting the very best deal. As we moved toward closing, we ran into issues with the bank on the seller’s end. Things could very well have fallen through were it not for Michele’s persistent hard work in closing the deal. We’re thrilled with our new home and with Michele’s work in making sure we got the most for our money; so satisfied that we’ve referred four of our close friends, all of whom are in new homes thanks to Michele.
