We were naturally nervous about entering into the process of selling our house while looking to buy our “forever” home, however, Michelle could not have made the process any easier or more comfortable for us. She was proactive in her communication, put everything in terms we could understand, and was present for us whenever we needed her. For our home sale, Michelle immediately knew the best approach for staging, when to hold an “open house” and recommended an appropriate amount of upgrades to make that would yield a greater return. She had an incredible sense of how to market our listing – the photography, a virtual walk-through, websites in which to post, and more. She never lost sight of the little things we may have taken for granted – the balance of personal effects for a display to which flowers best brought a room to life.

We were naturally nervous about entering into the process of selling our house while looking to buy our “forever” home, however, Michelle could not have made the process any easier or more comfortable for us.

For our home sale, Michelle immediately knew the best approach for staging, when to hold an “open house” and recommended an appropriate amount of upgrades to make that would yield a greater return. She had an incredible sense of how to market our listing – the photography, a virtual walk-through, websites in which to post, and more. She never lost sight of the little things we may have taken for granted – the balance of personal effects for a display to which flowers best brought a room to life. Her eye for all things – big and small - garnered more than we were anticipating when all was said and done. Her approach with us was always consultative – all recommendations on pricing, dates, and offer considerations (for which we had many to weigh in a matter of days) were supported with facts and logic all while allowing us to make the final decisions. As quickly as our home sale went, finding our next place to buy was just as smooth. By asking the right questions and getting to know us, Michelle had a great sense of what we were looking for allowing her to hone in only on homes that were sure to satisfy our consideration set and she encouraged us not to forfeit the elements that were most important to us – even if it made her job a little more difficult. Ultimately, Michelle helped us find the perfect home and was more than helpful in negotiating on our behalf for an outcome that was both equitable and exciting. Our family will be raised in this house and we will be forever grateful to Michelle for being the catalyst for it. We would, without hesitation, encourage anyone who is considering buying or selling a home (or both) to engage the services of Michelle Williams.
Michelle is an excellent realtor and I would highly recommend her. Michelle assisted us most recently in the sale of this home in Encinitas and she has previously assisted us in the sale of an additional home and a purchase of our current home in Encinitas for a total transaction value of almost $3.5 million. If we ever have another purchase or sale transaction, we would absolutely use Michelle. She provided us with a thorough market analysis, she helped guide us through what improvements should be done prior to the property, she has an excellent list of referrals (painters, handymen, etc.) and she helps coordinate all of the appointments, and she is easy to work with and very professional. She helped us navigate the purchase price negotiations and credit negotiations following the property inspection. She gave us great advice and truly went above and beyond in all aspects of the transac…

She helped us navigate the purchase price negotiations and credit negotiations following the property inspection. She gave us great advice and truly went above and beyond in all aspects of the transaction. This transaction involved 4 Seller parties, a rental property with tenants, and unexpected issues in the inspection report. Michelle handled it professionally and guided us through the process to make it a smooth transaction with a tight timeframe - we closed in 3 weeks. We do not take referrals lightly and we would highly recommend Michelle. She is excellent!
I'm so glad a friend recommended Michelle to my family when we were looking for a home. Michelle was very professional, responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and a great negotiator. Michelle had insight into the areas in North County that we wanted to live in. She never pressured us into buying a home (even when we backed out of escrow). She even managed to find homes that we liked that I didn't find myself. I'm a little redfin obsessed. Buying a home is a stressful experience, but having a great realtor is such an invaluable asset. Not only did Michelle help us find a home in our price range that we love, but it's so much nicer than I thought we would find in this competitive market. This is our family's 3rd home and Michelle is by far the best agent we used. I know when it comes time to sell who we will call.
Michelle started as an agent and ended as a friend. She was professional yet warm and made the sale of our home a surprisingly enjoyable experience. We contemplated the idea of a for-sale owner for some time but after a few meetings with Michelle and learning about southern California's fast-paced real estate market and her strategic strategies, we were convinced that her services were of value to us. Within 3 days of being on the market, we had a price-all-cash offer and we knew we had made the right decision. The escrow process went smoothly and communication with the sellers and the entire process was spot on. We closed escrow on time and couldn't be happier. Thank you Michelle for everything you did for us!
