My husband and I have worked with Michele during our house search this past year. We are both medical residents and first-time home buyers with a tight budget. Michele was an excellent realtor who was always looking out for our best interests. She educated us on the home-buying process, had excellent knowledge of the neighborhoods in Chapel Hill, and was always available for showings. Michele understood that we would likely need to sell our home in a few years, and she was sure to point out characteristics of homes that would make resale easier or more difficult. For example, she was aware that large predictable expenses like roof or HVAC replacement could be major setbacks for us as new homeowners. She was sure to look into the age of the roof and HVAC to help us avoid large expenses. Michele never pressured us to buy a home, look at houses over our budget, or make an offer that we were not 100% comfortable with. Overall, Michele was excellent to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend her to our friends and family. Michele truly views her work as a calling and a public service, and she has so much enthusiasm for helping clients find their dream homes. Her professionalism, genuine kindness, and concern for our best interests were exemplary.

While visiting Durham, NC from IL last July for a two week vacation to visit my son and daughter-in-law, I began looking at various on-line listings just to satisfy my curiosity about the pricing and availability of the local housing market. My plan to eventually relocate to the area was not a high priority but had been discussed at times over the years. In fact, I had no intention of doing anything more than aEURoewindow shopaEUR? on line while the kids were at work. As I continued to look for several days in a row, I became somewhat interested in a few of the homes and decided the only way I could really judge them would be to arrange for someone to show them to me. That evening, my son and daughter-in-law agreed to drive me by a few addresses I had written down. Once we saw the outside, there were several that I wanted to see more of.When we returned home, I went back on line to look for a particular realtor whose reviews I had read as they would randomly pop up on the screen when I was searching the home listings. I recalled reading the reviews written by clients that seemed to stand out above all the others I read but I hadnt written down her name and was not sure if I could find a particular pop-up. All I could remember was the great reviews and the friendly smile on her face in the photo. Fortunately, I didnt have to look long to find it and I decided to call her even though I was still not sure if I wanted to begin a relationship with a realtor right now since I was, as I reminded myself, merely aEURoewindow shopping.aEUR? The following day I contacted Michele Burris and she agreed to show me the homes on my list. From our first meeting, I made it known that I was only looking and before I would be ready to make an offer on any home, I would need to sell my home of almost 20 years in IL. Michele took me to the homes I had requested but I was disappointed that there were none that I liked well enough to even think about putting my house up for sale. Michele asked if I would like to look at some additional homes she had in mind that seemed to meet the criteria I had described and were in the price range I had mentioned. Since there was no mention of signing any agreement and the fact that Michele knew the areas so well, I decided to go with her on another day. As she drove me around, we got to know each other a little better and I appreciated Micheles feedback on the homes we looked at. It was obvious to me that she was an honest person, not in it for the quick sale, and had my best interest in mind. We would discuss the pros and cons after each viewing and I believe that helped her to know what I was hoping to find and it helped me to see something I may have missed. By the time we finished, I believe she got to know what I wanted in a home as much as I did. Michele took me to a new housing community for ages 55 and over that I really liked but the price was more than I hoped to pay. From then on, I became particularly interested with the thought of buying a newly built home. She found another 55+ community that was still in the very early stages of completion with only 15 properties built. Because of a dispute between the developer and builder, the homes were being offered at a huge discount. By the time I saw them, it was almost time for me to return to IL.When I got back to IL, I surprised both my son and daughter-in-law and myself by putting my house up for sale. I was so afraid those homes would be sold before I could make my offer. Both my son and Michele did so many things for me that I was unable to do from IL to make my dream home become a reality. Michele was never what I would describe as a high pressure sales person. In fact, she pointed out some risks in my purchasing a home in a development that was currently having management problems. She was honest and straightforward, and always offered good advice. I appreciated her candor but in the end, I took the chance and purchased the home. I sold my IL home in September and moved into my new NC home in November.Michele is very caring and friendly and always has that lovely smile. I consider her a friend and would recommend her highly to anyone needing a realtor. 04/21/13
