What do Clients Say?

Working with Michelle on the purchase of our new home was a great experience. Throughout the process she always made herself available to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure my wife and I were provided all the information we needed prior to moving in (including tracking down paint colors, gardener info, house cleaning services, etc). I highly recommend working with Michelle. She continues to support us after the close of escrow. She has really made this experience special. Thank you Michelle! -Joey and Meghan Jacobowitz | Orinda, CA

Michelle was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire house buying experience. This was our first home purchase in the Bay Area and she guided us every step of the way through this crazy fast process. Michelle was transparent, resourceful and quick to respond to our every question. We also really appreciated her nods to health and wellness as it applied to the home and area we selected. We would absolutely work with her again in our next real estate transaction. Tiffany and Olivier Henrichot, Moraga, CA
