Testimonials
" Michelle is the sweetest person ever and so glad to work with her! She’s always quick to respond back with any questions or concerns we had (even really late at night) Not only was she helpful but she made it seamless and stress free when we were selling our house. "
-Jolyn C, Client
"I met Michelle at an open house and she has been an excellent resource for my family. She listened carefully to my requests and has responded in a kind, caring and open manner. We currently are keeping an eye on the market but do not plan to move for another 18-24 mos., Michelle has been completely understanding and has been helpful without pressuring us. I enjoy her emails with open house listings and appreciate that she specifically sends me houses in our budget and location that we’re interested in. Also, Michelle’s extensive knowledge of San Jose and the surrounding areas has been extremely helpful. "
-Erika L, Client
"Buying a house in Silicon Valley is not an easy task. Michelle worked with us for years to help us find our home. She offered us good advice, great resources, and most valuably, had patience! Though she is undoubtedly super busy, she was always available when we needed something, and she helped us realize our priorities, and options to find just the right place! She has a handle on the neighborhood market, and we trust her to always be on our side! Highly Recommend!"
-Shabnum H, Client
"Michelle is the reason we're moving into our first home! After months of fruitless searching, we came across a listing; thought: "There's no way could compete"; and then forgot about it. In contrast, Michelle was able to recognize opportunity on that same listing and, less than 24 hours later, we were under contract at list price (unheard of in the current market)! Michelle has many strong relationships with other agents and professionals in the area--likely a result of her extensive experience in real estate and her patient, kind, and always-sunny personality. All of this combines to give her (and you, if you're lucky enough to work with her) an overwhelming edge in the market. We can't recommend Michelle enough. She's helpful and willing to walk first-time homebuyers through every step. She is responsive to text and calls, and is immensely competent. When we hit a few bumps with our loan, Michelle was quick to communicate with all stakeholders and smooth things out."

Coldwell Banker Realty
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work
with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that
matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home,
show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle
all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home
the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar.
Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be
the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
