Michele was great! She listened to our needs and did not try to sway us into anything that did not meet all of them! She was very patient with us, which we loved because she didn’t make us feel rushed or pressured into any decisions. We were blessed to have had her as our realtor and were able to find our forever home. I highly recommend her as an agent. Also, she is very professional!

We have worked with Michele for 2 of our moves here in Pittsburgh, PA, and she has always set the bar high with her service as an agent. My wife and I were new home buyers the first time we worked with her, and sold/purchased a new home in the second transaction. Michele was very diligent in her research when recommending a price for our property, and was extremely helpful as we navigated the process as sellers. We would definitely recommend Michele!

Michele is one of the most knowledgeable relators in the business. She was able to accurately assess the market and list/sell our current home in less than a week. Michele is not only knowledgeable regarding her business but is also extremely empathetic and really listens to the concerns/questions of the homeowner/buyer.

Michele and Kirstie were great. We listed Dec 10th and they hand a buyer January 17th and we closed Feb 16th. Excellent service. Kept us informed of deadlines and requirements. Very nice.

My husband and I were first-time home buyers in the Pittsburgh area and had a professional colleague recommend Michele as a realtor (we're glad he did!). Michele was extremely organized and professional throughout the entire process. She had binders ready for us each time we viewed a house, making it very easy to remember the pros and cons of each house. Since this was our first home, we were extremely picky about all details of the house including the location, yard, cosmetics, appliances and more. Michele was more than patient with us as we asked question upon question and was very knowledgable about the purchasing process as a whole. We always felt 100% comfortable working with Michele and in the end she was able to help us find the perfect house! We would highly recommend Michele as a realtor, especially in the North Hills area.

Working with Michele to sell my home was such a pleasure. She was knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. Because of her awareness of the market and sense of urgency, my home received 2 offers the first day it was listed. I was a first-time seller and she was always more than willing to answer any question I had and walk through and explain any document that needed to be signed. I would highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home!

Everyone on the team was so wonderful to work with! As a first-time home buyer, they were able to explain everything with ease. They make excellent recommendations and keep you in mind throughout the process. They are not afraid to say no to certain homes or specific things because they want what's best for you! Michelle has worked with my family for over a decade, so it was a no-brainer to go with her team when I wanted to find a home! Her team Kirstie and Emily are knowledgeable and amazing! They're kind and take care of you throughout the process. They even check in on me after the home was sold!! Cannot recommend them enough!
