What clients say about this agent....
Paula was able to help my parents who live out of state buy a condo in Longmont for a great price. Paula and her team made the buying process as smooth as possible. I would use Paula as my agent again!
Stephanie did an exceptional job helping us with the purchase of our new property. Her patience throughout the process and detailed knowledge sharing on the market was instrumental in getting us the right property per our needs. Her negotiation skills were outstanding. Upon acceptance of our offer, the closing process went so smoothly, and she and her team were on top of all the steps, not leaving any stress for us. Through the several months that we worked with her, she was so flexible and friendly, driving long distances with us to make sure we were comfortable with the investment. She was quick in responses and available with no hesitation all the time.
Paula was a gem to work with. Her realtor assistance was expedient, thorough, professional, and kind. I enjoyed the entire process of purchasing my condo in Colorado all due to Paula.
Stephanie was great!! She was extremely helpful with us in every step of the process. Her knowledge and expertise of the market were unparalleled. She made us feel very confident in all of our big decisions and has been sure to follow up with us afterwards. I would not hesitate to reach out to Stephanie in the future for any further real estate transactions or questions.
We had an incredible experience working with Michelle. As first time homebuyers there was so much we didnt know to even think of and Michelle was spectacular throughout the process. Her knowledge of the and connections were unmatched - it made every step of the process low stress. She also has an amazing team that worked with us on various aspects of the closing process (contracts, inspections etc.) and was equally experienced and responsive! Highly recommend working with her, especially if youre new to the area!
We have used Michelles services 7 times to buy and sell over the course of 6 years. She is a gem at all levels from start to finish (even after the deal being closed she still helped us in dealing with an escrow issue). She is a local so she has valuable advice on anything - especially if you are not familiar with Colorado! She has always the right idea or communication skills to fix issues and deal with the numerous entities (other agents, HOA, insuranceaEUR|) Every time she recommended a professional (roofer, staging agent, handy-man, photographer) we have never been disappointed. These professionals were time efficient, reliable, honest and priced reasonably. As for her team, Michele has brought together a highly capable and professional team who were delightful to work with. They are on top of everything and helped us to keep track of all the deadlines. Last but not least, we really appreciated that she puts the exact same effort to sell and buy a small condo as she would a luxury house. I can't recommend Michele, her assistant and the whole team enough!
Stephanie helped me on purchasing my condo. She was very responsive and did an excellent job of following up for any unanswered questions. She is also very good at researching for any things published regarding the property. I cannot be happier for her service. I certainly will recommend her to my friends who is in the real estate market for looking for a place to buy.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Michelle. Her local knowledge on the real estate market and broad experience, fixing, renting and selling houses was so helpful in getting a great deal on my house and also planning for the future.
After requesting a virtual tour, we were spontaneously matched with Stephanie on the Compass team. Almost immediately after the request, Stephanie set up a call to get to know us and what we were looking for. She shared about herself, her style, and the process during that initial call. From there we planned on working with Stephanie during our home buying journey and are so glad to have made that decision! Stephanie was amazing every step of the way! She organized multiple tours so we could see different types of properties and all parts of the Boulder area, since we were new to Colorado. She was attentive, responsive, straight-forward, and knowledgeable. If she didn't know something, she always figured it out and got the information we needed. Even as we found a home and closed, she continued to be right by our sides. She went above and beyond by reaching out to HOA organizations, city departments, and contractors. I appreciated how she always gave us honest responses and took a very straight-forward approach to the whole process. She was easy to work with and flexible with our not so flexible schedule. Now that we are sitting comfortable in our new home, we miss seeing Stephanie each week!
Michelle was stellar in every way, from start to finish! As fate would have it, just as the negotiations and contract were being created I started a new job and was working very long hours. Michele went over and above taking care of details with the HOA and city and working late hours to be sure and message reminders, updates and details continually. She is simply amazing! Michele has brought together a highly capable and professional team who were delightful to work with. I can't recommend Michele highly enough!
