We enjoyed Micheles patience and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process. She was kind, warm and made us feel confident in her and the entire process from day 1.

Michelle H., a buyer from Watsonville, CA
A mutual friend recommended Michele to me.
We had not met prior to my call that we needed to see a property immediately as it was just listed and it met the checkboxes on my list. We met at the property 1 hour later that Friday afternoon.

This was my 3rd time buying a house but my first time buying a manufactured home. Michele was knowledgeable of this type of property purchase which has some differences from the standard home buying process. She made sure to explain the difference as well as pointing out items the seller needed to complete before the purchase.

On Monday, Michele placed a solid bid after we discussed it and it was accepted on Tuesday. In the days between she connected me with a mortgage broker who had to re-qualify me for the property type.
Michele thoroughly reviewed area comps and placed contingencies in the bid to make sure I received what was fair.

Michele explained all the document details before sending them for my review and answered my questions prior to me Docusigning. I really liked the Docusign experience because I could read through the documents at my pace on my time before signing.

I recommend Michele because she stayed in communication with me and made sure I knew when she would be available especially since we were in the midst of the holiday season. Her personality was easy going and strong with the navigation of the buying process.

Thank you for answering the call and making this purchase process seem so easy.

My partner and I were referred to Michele by a family member who had worked with Michele previously. As first-time home buyers, my partner & I were so incredibly grateful to have worked with her. Not only is she super knowledgeable, but she's so easy and fun to work with. Michele made the process as stress-free as possible, even going as far to work with our schedules. I would definitely recommend Michele to anyone that's looking to buy or sell a home, you won't be disappointed. Thank you so so much Michele (:

D. Caroll, a seller from Salinas, CA
Michele Samples came highly recommended as one of the best realtors in my area, via an online service. She not only helped me prepare to sell my house in California when I was living out of state, shes also one of the best people I know. I feel so blessed to have found her, she truly put me and my best interests first and foremost throughput the entire process, I could not have been in better hands at a time when I really needed someone who I could count on.

She is the ultimate professional and knew the local market value inside and out, she was constantly checking current market values and helped me price my house just right. My house had multiple offers and sold for 50k above the asking price with only 9 days on the market. Michele is fair, honest and super savvy at what she does! Honestly youd be hard pressed to find a better realtor in our area.

My family & I had the pleasure of having Michele sell our house in Hollister, California in July of 2022. Michele & her colleagues worked tirelessly to make some small home improvement repairs to make our home be in the best condition possible to render top dollar on the open market. Michelle was easy to communicate with & we appreciated her transparency in all our dealings. I highly recommend Michele to sell your home. She'll get the deal closed & will do so with your best interest in mind.

M Hughes, a seller from Salinas, CA
Michele was our real estate agent, helping to sell our home. She guided us through all the preparations and was helpful in diffusing disagreements between us. We were able to list and sell our home quickly as we had all the preparations finished. Her group of people that she recommended to work with was also great. We would recommend her to anyone who asks.

K Vander-Zanden, a buyer from Hollister, CA
Michele was attentive, courteous, and genuine. She made us feel like we were her first priority and never made us feel guilty for seeing house after house after house. She truly wanted us to find our dream home and taught us a lot about the contract process. I highly recommend her, if you like having an agent who makes you feel special, and is happily with you along the entire journey, no matter how bumpy it gets.

G. Voorhis, a buyer from Tres Pinos, CA
We met Michele at one of her open houses and we really liked her. We went on to hire her as our realtor. Michele showed us multiple properties around the Monterey and Hollister area. She was friendly, personable and attentive to our needs. Whether we needed help early in the morning or late at night, she was always available and was quick at responding. She made the buying process fun and stress free. In a competitive market, we fell in love with a house that presented complicated and undesirable terms for us. She was able to come up with a strategic idea that made us (the buyers) and the sellers happy; meeting both parties needs. If anyone is in the market for buying or selling a home, we highly recommend Michele as her knowledge and resourcefulness will make it a pleasant experience.

A.Janzer, a buyer from Scotts Valley, CA
We met Michele at an open house and knew she'd be a great guide. She helped us purchase a home in the Santa Cruz area while living a few hours away. Her local knowledge was really useful as we decided where we wanted to land, and she guided us through a quick closing. She made the process more fun than it otherwise would befor which we're grateful!

K.Smith, a buyer from Marina, CA
We worked with Michelle to sell our first home and she facilitated the purchase of our second home. We could not ask for an easier person to work with. She kept us well-informed throughout the process, provided her professional insight without making us feel pressured, and has a network of professionals to help with repairs, cleaning, etc. She made what could have been a stressful process easy and I feel like she helped us get the best prices in both of our transactions. She is thoughtful, kind and the only agent we would think of working with if we ever move again.

S.Torres, a buyer from Hollister, CA
Michele has helped us sell two homes and purchase two homes. For the homes she helped sell, sales were quick with closing offers above asking. In our last purchase, in such a competitive market, it took us 10 months to finally find a home that felt perfect, and we closed on it thanks to Michele! Throughout our ten month search, Michele patiently showed us close to 50 properties (maybe not exactly 50 but it was close) over hundreds of miles in four counties. She always stayed positive, friendly and professional and most importantly patient, assuring us that the most important thing was finding the perfect home for us that we love, and we do love our new home! Thank you Michele and we wish the best for you and your beautiful family!
