Gainesville is a vibrant and unique community of both permanent residents and students. As a resident for the last 35 years, I've explored most every corner of this beautiful city. In 1996, I moved into the downtown area and fell in love with the vintage and historic homes that surround Gainesville's urban core.
My hope through this site is to help others uncover unique places to call home, whether short-term or as a permanent residence. With a strong background in sales, marketing and an eye for design, clients benefit from a well-rounded consultant on all aspects of buying, leasing and selling real estate.

My wife and I were looking to buy a home for the first time and we had NO IDEA where to begin. Michelle is the most knowledgeable and highly regarded agent in our area (Downtown Gainesville; Duckpond and B&B districts). She patiently coached us through every aspect of the home-buying process, giving us the confidence we needed to navigate the market and find our home. When it came time to negotiate and buy, Michelle supported and defended us at every step. Afterword, she even followed through by helping us decide repairs/reno's and interact with contractors. She's a delight to work with, and we

Got rented a house that is super old for 2400, out dated, bugs freely entering the house, washing machine doesn't wash 100%, microwave trips the breaker, garage is infested with spiders, the doors to the bathroom don't close, the thermostat to the air conditioner is in the kitchen so every time the stove is on the air conditioner turns on, no exhaust in the kitchen for heat and smell, I sent the rent in the mail and just because it didn't reach them, they want to try and charge me 100 dollars, as if the 2400 dollars isn't enough for such a poorly conditioned house. Harassing me for rent and implying

We just experienced the least stressful home sale we've even gone through thanks to Michelle. She took care of absolutely everything and kept us informed of each step along the way. Her extensive knowledge of the market and of our neighborhood in particular were key to pricing our house correctly and getting top dollar for it. We cannot recommend Michelle highly enough.

Michelle went above and beyond on our transaction buying our first home. She is patient, caring and a dedicated. When we initially spoke she described herself as a bit of a bulldog and it couldn’t be more true. She kept our best interests and needs at heart. Michelle knows the market and all aspects of the transaction process, we were always well informed. I HIGHLY recommend her services.

Michelle is the best real estate agent in Gainesville FL! She truly does care about you as a human. My spouse and I just bought our first home and we were completely ignorant to the whole process. Michelle not only walked us through the entire process step by step, but she provided emotional support and gave us excellent contacts for work on our new home even after we moved in. She is so patient, provided excellent communication, and she is incredibly knowledgeable about real estate. I cannot imagine buying a home with anyone else but Michelle Hazen.

Michelle Hazen is "Da Bomb." Why? We needed to sell our historic home and it needed to happen in a timely manner, and we had a price that we needed to get. Michelle got us a contract that we could accept on the first day of listing, at the price that we wanted, and we closed on a cash offer within 3 weeks. How: All the work up-front that Michelle did, working with us to get the property ready and guiding us in making smart decisions. She had the resources to make that happen. Then once we had the offer, she put in the efforts to guide the sale to closing. Michelle is really a knowledgeable professional

Michelle represented us when buying our home, and I couldn't be happier with her work. She's a consummate professional who really knows how to get things done. She expertly guided us through the process, and whenever issues arose she navigated them skillfully and kept us on track throughout. She seems to know everyone, and always had great recommendations for inspectors, contractors, lenders, etc. She really went to bat for us during the negotiation process, and was willing to put in extra time and effort. We felt lucky to have her on our team, and will absolutely call her next time we

Michelle helped us find our dream house last year and she was simply the best! We dragged her everywhere and she had the patience of a saint! She had great recommendations for all the additional professionals required to close the transaction and she always took the time to explain all the details! We learned so much along the way and we would highly recommend her. We are currently working with Michelle to sell another property and there have been some crazy unpredictable outcomes, but the entire time she has been a fighter, always looking out for our best interests!

As first time homeowners, Michelle was a breath of fresh air to my girlfriend and I, as it was hard to gauge how to properly handle the local market. Michelle is superbly familiar with local realty and was able to guide us every step of the way. Every situation that came up, Michelle expertly handled. With her experience dealing with local contractors for all kinds of home related work, she had contacts for everything and would immediately call them for a quote the minute there may be work that needed to be done, which she was then able to leverage. Michelle is always one step ahead of the curve

Michelle Hazen helped me sell my house. The process was fast and painless. Michelle is very knowledgeable about the Gainesville area, and specializes in Duckpond homes. She stages a house beautifully. Before interviewing and hiring her, I already suspected that she would be talented because she helped some friends of mine sell a remodeled home in the same area. They were very happy with her skill set. Michelle has deep roots in the community, and even before I found out that some friends had used her professional services, another friend of mine had given me Michelle's contact info. Thus,

We are looking to relocate from Denver to Gainesville, and Michelle has been outstanding in helping us find a house. She listened to what we want and set up alerts for us so we can get new listings. When I've found something interesting, she tells me about the property if she's seen it and if she hasn't, she tours the property while FaceTiming us so we can get a good look long distance. She is very well connected in the community and is very respectful of clients and tenants. If she was not respectful she wouldn't have the standing she does in the community and as a top-performing

As a very busy healthcare provider looking for a home, I could not have asked for a more competent, patient, and accessible realtor, then Michelle Hazen! Michelle has worked with me to find my perfect home. She has shown me houses, helped me define my needs and understand the real estate market. I have always felt she has my best interest as her number one priority. I have texted late at night and early in the morning with "offer" jitters and overzealous hopes and Michelle always answers, with patience and clear, solid advice. Her knowledge and expertise of the Gainesville housing market

I am renting a house for my children in Gainesville, they attend University of Florida.
In many ways, the house is in disrepair- it needs a new a/c unit, the wood floors are not sealed, windows do not open, a tree is growing into the roof, no insulation, super high electric bills- so the owner decided to sell the property.
Realtor Michelle Hazen does not respect the fact that we have a month left on our lease and has bullied my children on two occasions.
She demands to be let in and actually said that she would come to the house whenever she wanted to.
I have spoken with her several times and

Michelle Hazen sold my house in FIVE days. She did this after using her regular photographer to take pics of my home after helping to stage it. This woman is a Dynamo! She's a Gainesville TOP seller-- & for good reason. She is filled w/ energy & she has neverending contacts w/in the community due, in part, to her home restoration business that she shares w/ her husband (Vintage.Urban.Historic). You can check it out @ VintageGainesville.com. Have a question or a concern? No worries. Michelle will almost always call or text back w/in minutes. She works out problems & potential problems
