Buying and selling a house is stressful enough, but we had to sell both our house, and our parents house and somehow find a house with an in-law suite that we would all be happy with. I didn't think it could be done. Michelle was so patient and took all of our concerns into consideration and found us a house that we thought was impossible to find. She also sold our house in 6 days!!! For a LOT more then we thought we'd get for it. Michelle really does her research and listens. Instead of pushing houses onto us, she let us tell her what we wanted and she only showed us houses that fit our criteria. I've never felt so taken care of by a real estate agent. Thank you Michelle. If we ever move out of the house we're in (I so hope not!), you'll be the one we call. You're the best! - April and David Hoyt
When we first approached Michelle, it was to help us prepare a very last minute purchase offer for our dream home. Acting on our behalf, Michelle went above and beyond her call of duty, negotiating a strong, successful offer in a highly competitive market. As a result we were happy to have Michelle work with us to sell our existing home, even though it was in a market outside of her usual territory. Once again Michelle proved herself with outstanding research and market knowledge, which resulted in multiple offers, over list price, after only 1 day on the market! And she charged us less than other Realtors quoted us! Michelle’s calm assurance and expert advice made both transactions very stress free for us. Throughout the entire process of buying and selling, Michelle was very professional, approachable, conscientious, easy to talk to…and she really listened. Michelle was a true partner, who worked hard to meet our goals, rather than her own, and as a result she was an absolute pleasure to work with We would highly recommend Michelle, whether you are selling or buying a home. - Marcia Thompson and Peter Daniel
Being first time buyers, we had little knowledge and expertise in real estate. Michelle took the time to listen to our needs and only suggested properties that fell within those needs. We previously worked with no less than 5 local agents prior to meeting Michelle and she really stood out as the agent we wanted to represent us. She was always available to answer all of our questions and was extremely patient and professional. When we put in our offer, we quickly found out that there were multiple bidders. Michelle was able to negotiate a price below asking in a multiple bid scenario. We got a fantastic house in a great location and an amazing price thanks entirely to Michelle’s thorough and diligent work. As proof of this, a few days after we purchased our home, a house a couple of doors down with less features sold for much, much more than what we paid for our home. Her services don’t end with the closing of the house as she still keeps in contact with us today. Make no mistake; Michelle is top on our list when friends need an agent. - Jack and Melanie
When we first entered the real estate market and bought our condo we stumbled onto Michelle by chance. As first time buyers she eased our minds and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. When we were ready to make a move and purchase our dream home there was no question in our mind that we would again use Michelle to both sell our existing condo and purchase a home. She made us feel as though we were her only and most important clients when we knew this was not the case. Michelle’s hard work and dedication helped us sell our condo in under 3 days and allowed us to purchase a home that was everything we wanted and more. Thanks Michelle! Because of your hard work, I can’t see us leaving this home anytime soon, however, I would not hesitate to use your services again and will continue to recommend you to anyone I know in the market. - Mark and Lindsay Zangari
I was extremely impressed with Miss Epstein. She listened to our criteria for a new home and gave us good, realistic advice. She was also tireless, helping us on so many fronts so that we could get the house we wanted. I have already recommended her to several of my friends, and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. - Jason MacIsaac
As a first time home buyer I was nervous and overwhelmed with the real estate market. Michelle eased all of my worries. I felt I could completely trust her to help me with such an important decision as buying a home. She was totally dedicated and exceeded my expectations. She was patient, thorough and didn't put any pressure on me. She negotiated a good deal for the home I wanted. I don't know how I would have gone through this without her! - Cathleen Siemash
We were in no way prepared to buy a property or sell our existing one, when we stumbled upon the perfect house for us a couple of blocks away. We called my sister, and somehow, she made it all happen. On the new house, she secured us an accepted offer conditional on the sale of our existing home. Then she had to sell our house… quick! With the help of Michelle’s interior designer, we painted and got our house in showroom condition within a week. One week later, it was sold! In the past we had tried to sell our house twice with different agents, to no avail.
We found out later that the listing agent on the new house advised his client not to accept our offer since it was conditional on the sale of our house. But his client was so impressed with Michelle’s offer presentation and so confident in her ability to get our house sold fast, that he accepted it anyway!
Now when I recommend Michelle to people, it has nothing to do with her being my sister and everything to do with the great job she did for us. - Shara and Michael Carr
