What clients say about this agent....
As a realtor, Michelle is, in a word, amazing. We worked with her to find our dream home in the Moraga CA area and she was outstanding. She was available, thoughtful, and took the time to understand our preferences. She was proactive in getting us in to see houses she knew we would be interested in and never wasted our time with places outside of our budget. She was also extremely honest and insightful with what she felt would make a competitive offer, which is so important in this current market. I only wish we could buy more homes to keep working with Michelle. I could not recommend her more strongly!
Michelle was the ideal realtor to retain for my Lamorinda home search and purchase. She knew the current and future listings, pros and cons of neighborhoods, homes and builders, and she knew selling agents well. That all helped me get a quick and thorough view on my opportunities, and we quickly found and purchased the ideal house for my family. Thank you, Michelle!
The best thing about putting our Moraga home on the market was having Michelle Holcenberg as our realtor! From the moment that we first called her, Michelle was available day and night to answer all of our questions, give us excellent advice based on her extensive knowledge of this area, and carefully guide us through the multi-faceted selling process. We interviewed several realtors, and Michelle definitely stood out among the others. She is incredible! In the fast-paced housing market that we now live in, Michelle takes the time to truly care about her clients, and she goes the extra step of ensuring that all of our needs are met (like rushing over at 8:00 a.m. when we realized that we had run out of masks for our prospective buyers to wear). Michelle is truly exceptional, and we highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in this area.
Working with Michelle Holcenberg turned out to be the best way to a fast, smooth and successful real estate transaction. Michelle was there when we had any questions or doubts, needed guidance and advice, or just a little push to get something finished. We appreciated her professional skills, her quick way of sizing up any situation, and her team who helped us get everything done quickly so we were able to get our house on the market in record time. Under her guidance our house sold at a price way beyond our expectations. Recommending Michelle as a realtor makes us feel good because we hope others will get a happy ending like we did.Wendy S
We recently purchased our home with Michelle and she was fantastic throughout the whole process. Being first time home buyers, we were new to the whole process and she was extremely patient and knowledgeable, and very responsive to our questions and needs. We would highly recommend her to our friends and family!
Our family met Michelle while looking for a house in Orinda. We wanted a local realtor that knew the region well and Michelle met that criteria perfectly having grown up in the area. However after working more with Michelle and getting to know her, we realized how lucky we got, since she not only had a wealth of knowledge about the area but also made a significant effort to welcome us the the neighborhood and introduce us some of the people she knew including some of our new neighbors. Michelle was very honest and didnt hold back when she needed to express any concerns she had, we never felt pressure to move faster or offer more than we were comfortable with. She truly wanted us to find a house that we would be most comfortable in. Also with her network she was able to collect really good technical information on the region and answer any concerns we had related to the house. I definitely recommend Michelle! Thank you Michelle!
We worked with Michelle to sell our Moraga home given her great reputation in the Lamorinda area, and the very positive impression we got from her after our first meeting. The results exceeded all expectations. Our house had multiple offers over asking price the day after the first open house. Michelle's experience, professionalism and understanding of the process every step along the way were critical to sell our house, especially considering that many of the processes involved were moving more slowly as a result of COVID-19. Michelle communicated clearly and as often as needed, she was incredibly responsive to all our requests and questions, and helped us stay patient and calm throughout the entire process. We fully recommend her services to anyone considering selling their home in Lamorinda.
Selling your home can be a stressful and time-consuming process.Michelle was there from the beginning (with tips on exactly what needed to be done, and when) getting the house ready to show, and all the way through closing - and guided us every step of the way.She kept us informed throughout, and is a consummate professional.I would highly recommend her and Coldwell Banker to friends and family (and actually have already done so!)I can't think of anyone better to help in a complicated process. 5+ stars!
Michelle steamlined the process of selling my elderly father's home in Moraga. She's very professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. The process and paperwork can be very intimidating but she took the time to explain the purpose of each document so my father felt comfortable signing them. Her recommended landscaper, handyman, painter, stager, and inspectors were excellent. She's a great communicator and kept us informed throughout the process.Without hesitation, I highly recommend Michelle!
As sellers from out of state, we really relied on Michelle to not only advise us on the market but to help us find the right people to do renovations and repairs as well as manage these trades people in our absence. She exceeded all of our expectation! She is not only the utmost professional and subject matter expert on all things relating to home sales in Lamorinda, she is the most honest, nicest, and reliable person you'd ever want to work with! Can't recommend this realtor enough...Thanks Michelle!
