Michelle is amazing!
Honestly, Michelle is one of the best people! She supported us throughout our (short) journey of finding a home closer to family! She always answered all of my annoying questions and handled a complicated transaction like a champ! If my husband and I buy anything else, she will be our agent. She is definitely more of a friend than an agent! -Verified by RateMyAgent
