I found Michelle in a Honolulu magazine and contacted her about purchasing a home on Oahu. If you have little experience, like I did, with Hawaii real estate, you’ll need an experienced, knowledgeable and professional realtor to help you in this competitive market. Michelle is that realtor. We followed her recommendations and suggestions. We made an offer that was competitive but not excessive based on her advice. In a strong seller’s market, I was pleasantly surprised that we purchased a home within our budget on our first attempt. I really appreciated her knowledge and experience. Michelle understands the real estate market here and explained in advance what to expect. She prepared us well so we didn’t have any major surprises or setbacks during the purchase process. I felt well represented with Michelle as our buyer’s agent. On a personal level, Michelle was very friendly, outgoing and I enjoyed working with her. She returned my calls, even when she was on vacation. Her assistant Debbie was also friendly, responsive and was in constant contact with us well before we were ready to purchase. We would use Michelle again for future real estate transactions and would recommend her to others. - Aparna Mikkilineni
