Michele helped my husband and I try to find our first home in the middle of a pandemic and a very competitive market. Based on her advice, an offer on what we thought was our dream house was accepted. With some unexpected job changes, we unfortunately were not able to move forward with the sale but our experience from start to finish was exceptional. She was extremely flexible and virtually always available. Would absolutely recommend.

My wife and I have worked with Michele for almost 6 years now. We were looking for something very specific in our new home and she was gracious enough to show us close to 25 houses in that time before we found exactly what we were looking for. Each time it was a pleasure to see Michele and receive her input regarding the area's real estate market. We recommend Michele and Local Market Realty to all of our friends who are looking for a new home in the Triangle!

My fiancé and I were first time home buyers and are now first time home owners thanks to Local Market Realty!
I cannot thank Michele enough for all of the help and guidance she offered during this long and difficult process nor can I imagine having to navigate it with anyone else.
From the first meeting at the Local Market office, where we went through all of the nuances of the North Carolina housing market, we knew without a doubt that this was the realty company for us.

My wife and I were selling my parents home while living on the opposite side of the country and honestly could not have done it without Michele’s superb guidance and oversight. From our very first meeting, she was very clear in what we needed to do to prepare the house and took on overseeing the preparations herself. She understood the market and had an accurate understanding of the value of the house. Throughout the process she was responsive and on top of all communications, sometime returning e-mails at midnight her time! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience from a realtor and

Michele is the best in the business! She helped me purchase my first home ever. She was so knowledgeable and taught me so much about what to look for and what were red flags when buying a home. She is professional and patient. She will you take you to as many homes as you need to see until you find the right one! She also sold 2 houses for me over the years, both within one weekend. You cannot go wrong with Michele!!

Buying and/or selling a house is not a fun experience, but Michele is the best realtor to advocate for you and mitigate the stress and pain involved with the process. I have bought and sold six houses, but it wasn’t until family introduced me to Michele that I understood how smooth the process can be. Michele listens and understands the angst of moving, and she is incredibly knowledgeable about the market – availability, timing, pricing and negotiating – plus handling the myriad of closing details. Initially I laughed when she predicted the outcome of selling my house because it was so much

10 years ago Michele gave me a great 1st time home buying experience. Earlier this year, I enlisted her service again to sell the same home. The house was on the market less than 24 hours before offers came in. Within 48 hours, the house was sold. Highly recommended for quality of service, knowledge of the area, and her level of professionalism.

We have worked with Michele both as a buyer and a seller. Michele is deeply knowledgeable about market conditions and works incredibly hard. As a result she always gave us great advice and got us the best possible outcomes. In the challenging world of real estate transactions she is a terrific asset!

Michele is absolutely fantastic. She has now helped us buy and sell a home and brought a sense of calm and level-headedness to the process each time. She guided us every step of the way, helped us figure out the unexpected situations that inevitably seem to arise, and did so with expertise. She really knows her market! On top of her professionalism, Michele is fun and kind and working with her was truly enjoyable. I would recommend her without hesitation!
