“Michelle worked with us for about a year and helped us find a perfect first home. She knows the Lamorinda area really well and was a great guide as we went through our home buyer journey. She knew all the things to look out for and helped us keep up our energy despite the difficult market. She’s super personable and prompt and was genuinely supportive throughout the closing process and after. Highly recommend working with her!”

“Michelle recently completed sale of my home where I have lived for 50 years. The sale perfectly fit our planned schedule as to price and escrow closing date. This occurred as a result of her outstanding professional abilities. I am a retired executive and I found her to be completely knowledgeable in all aspects of her work but also totally focused on the task at hand. Of equal importance to me was her wide list of people that made the task virtually turn key. She has great people to handle staging, packing, painting and moving etc. She met the challenges beautifully.”

— Herb, Moraga seller

Michelle advised us on our listing price and schedule for putting the house on the market. She also made numerous helpful suggestions for preparing the house for the market. Michelle is honest, trustworthy, reliable, knowledgeable, and stays ahead of the issues of the day. Michelle is an outstanding advisor and a very competent Real Estate Professional. She always responds promptly to any inquires. We heartily recommend her to anyone considering a residential real estate transaction.”

“Michelle was the ideal realtor to retain for my Lamorinda home search and purchase.

She knew the current and future listings, pros and cons of neighborhoods, homes and builders, and she knew selling agents well.

That all helped me get a quick and thorough view on my opportunities, and we quickly found and purchased the ideal house for my family. Thank you, Michelle!”

— Kristen, Moraga buyer

“Michelle was always there when we had any questions or doubts, needed guidance and advice, or just a little push to get something finished. She is very hands-on. We appreciated her professional skills, her quick way of sizing up any situation, and her team who helped us get everything done quickly so we were able to get our house on the market in record time. Under her guidance our house sold at a price way beyond our expectations.”

We would highly recommend her to our friends and family!”

Michelle is the best of the best! If you are looking for a realtor that knows the area, pricing, listens and knows how to execute, Michelle is the one. We had so many things to do, reports, inspections, renovations, contractors, staging, landscaping, etc ... and Michelle has the BEST contacts, no snags at all. My brother and I worked with Michelle, and I honestly can say, life would've been 9x harder without her. She's the person you want in your corner, hands down!

— Laurie, Moraga Seller
