What do Clients Say?

In our community the name Michelle Gurrera is synonymous with getting the sale done and Michelle set realistic goals for sale of our home, brought in clients interested in our high-end property, and made closing the deal her priority. Communications were timely and precise. She is patient with questions and concerns and acted on our behalf at every step of the way through closing. She understood us, the buyer's realtor, and the buyers very well, explaining the risks and expectations leading to the classic win-win scenario for all involved. I would (and have) recommended her to family and friends as the best real estate professional in the Leland/Wilmington area.

Michelle was our buyer's and seller's agent. She did an amazing job working with my wife and I to get our house ready for the market. Michelle brought out an A+ photographer who did an incredible job on listing photos, which with Michelle's marketing efforts aided us in getting under contract in about two weeks. Michelle guided us through comparable properties in the market and aided us in gaining an accepted offer on our new home. She had our best interest in mind from start to finish, and worked well with the seller's agent to get needed repairs handled. Michelle came to closing and really kept an eagle eye out for us, ensuring that an assessment levied on the seller was handled at closing. I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. Both Michelle and her entire team have been incredibly responsive. They make you feel as if you are the only clients they have. If you want a true professional that will give you expert advice and work towards your best interests, give Michelle a call.

Michelle is exceptional. She's quick and thorough, knows what she's talking about, and has so much energy and gumption that she gets everything set in motion faster than I can blink. She is very personable and is wonderful to work with. I felt that I could trust her completely to guide me through the process of buying a home in the most practical way while putting my best interest first. I feel very lucky to have had Michelle as my realtor and I would 110% recommend her to anyone.

I have only good things to say about my experience working with Michelle Gurrera. I must admit that some of my previous experiences with other realtors left me cold, while with Michelle, it was warmth all the way, in part due to her own warm personality. She is also very knowledgeable about the Wilmington area and real estate in general, educating and guiding me through the selling a home to which I have been attached for many years. She understood my emotional connection to this home and was very supportive throughout. Some of her other qualities are that she is logical, practical, efficient, and extremely responsive. In addition, she is upbeat and positive which was quite beneficial to me when dealing with some snafus along the way to selling my home. Her standards are high and her avenues for marketing are many. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to list their home. I would also recommend her to anyone looking for real estate in the area as that is where we are at the moment and she has been equally responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive.

Michelle is a super person, as well as being the best of the best in her profession. I do not normally write reviews, but I have to make an exception in this case. Real Estate deals are very stressful when the parties are local, needless to say, when you are 650 miles away, the process can be unbearable! Throughout our sale I felt extremely confident that Michelle was working very hard on my behalf, always having my best interests at heart. I felt as if she always "had my back" and communicated all information on an accurate and timely basis. I can not say enough about Michelle, and I am proud to call her my friend! Seacoast Coldwell Banker is very fortunate to have her on staff. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a competent real estate professional.
