What Our Clients Say

"Her professionalism, friendliness, and responsiveness made her awesome to work with."
I find looking for a home a miserable process in general. However, Michaela made it as enjoyable as I think it could be. Her professionalism, friendliness, and responsiveness made her awesome to work with. I never felt pressured into doing anything I wasn’t 100% comfortable with.

"She was a skilled and persistent advocate for us."
As first time home buyers in the Bay Area, we were intimidated by the process, but when we found the home we loved, Michaela helped make it happen for us. She was kind, friendly and easy to talk to , but also a skilled and persistent advocate for us. We loved having her on our side and we definitely wouldn't have been able to get our home without her support. I would recommend her services to any buyer, experienced or new!
Alison M.

"She diligently prepared a favorable rapport with the seller's agent and got us the house."
Michaela was very friendly and approachable. We bought our first property with her, and she was very helpful answering all our questions and walked us through all the details and nuisances of purchasing a home. She was always quick to respond and if she did not know the answer straight away, she will find the answers for us. She showed us countless properties and when we were ready to purchase, she diligently prepared a favorable rapport with the seller's agent and got us the house.

We have had the privilege of living in beautiful places. We thought we could not have found anything meeting our wishes -- Michaela helped us find our dream home. She was responsive and available whenever we needed her help. She gave us answers before we asked our questions, and advised us appropriately. We could not be happier to have worked with her.

Michaela is an exceptional real estate agent who is absolutely dedicated to her clients and works tirelessly to meet their objectives. The challenges of buying in the Bay Area can be overwhelming. Having an agent like Michaela is critical to getting into a contract. She is reliable and responsive 100% of the time. Michaela is a problem-solver who puts in the extra effort to identify areas that can be strengthened to give her clients the edge they need to be competitive. While working with Michaela, I learned that I could trust her gut reaction or perspective because she speaks from experience and a deep understanding of the real estate market.
Jared W.
Oakland, CA
Michaela is a true professional, a cool person, and an excellent agent. My wife and I had been trying to find our first home using the interwebs and were having a terrible time. Michaela was a listing agent at one of the places we visited, and she saw that we were clueless and helped us out with a lot of useful information. Then we read her reviews on Zillow and were very impressed. My friend, who had just bought a house, had looked at over 150 of them, so I thought, "Why not let someone else do all the work?" We ended up looking at exactly one condo, which was the only one in our price range that was also in a nice area, which we then bought through a great lender that she referred us to. Michaela and her lender literally handled everything for us, and we are now the proud owners of a great little place in Oakland. This was definitely a leap of faith for us, but Michaela came through.
