Michele exceeded all of my expectations. A combination of rising interest rates and Holiday season made for a tough market to sell. With that said Michele worked tirelessly to sell our home and get the best price possible.
I cant begin to express our immense gratitude for all of the hard work and personal sacrifices Michele made to bring this sale to closure!
Michele is extremely knowledgeable of the Tampa real estate market, a timely communicator on all important details, a strong negotiator, a highly creative marketer, and she goes far above and beyond any other realtor weve experienced! is truly an honor to have Michele as our Realtor and our friend!
For anyone considering selling or buying a home, we can personally attest that you will not find a more committed, knowledgeable, hardworking Realtor than Michele Curtin with Shells Florida Realty!! Shes amazing!!!
Michele Curtin was helpful. During this stressfull experience of buying a home out of State. We are from Massachusettes bought home and business properties in Massachusettes but buying a home in Florida was a different experience. Michele has a lot of patience. She was prompt in answering my phone calls. I will be recommending her to my family and friends.
The amount of effort and time Michele put into walking me through the process is unbelievable. From the first day that we met for a coffee at Starbucks she spent her entire evening walking me through the big picture. From there on out, she was always available to provide me with the information that I needed (or didnt need, but needed for the sake of my sanity) every decision that I made, small or big, mattered to her.
Not only did I feel like I had all the information I need to make those decisions, but I also felt like I was in good hands. Especially because, as a first-time buyer, I didnt know all of the questions I should be asking (or dos and donts, for example) and she would proactively provide this information, which made me feel like I was walking through this process with eyes wide open.
Michele is professional and experienced! Top tier specialist!
We had a need to purchase a second home to support elderly parents. We had to fit a narrow window as it related to property needs, finances, location, etc. Michelle was supportive throughout our selection and acquisition process. Given this is our second project with Michelle and she has been fantastic both times, I can't imagine working through any future real estate projects with anyone else.
Michele is detail-oriented, highly motivated, knowledgeable about the current housing market, and demands the highest level of performance from all real estate professions in the process.
Michele was recommended to us by a Miami realtor when we first thought we wanted to move to Miami. After looking at homes in Miami, West Palm Beach, and finally Tampa we decided to relocate from Massachusetts to Tampa. Michele was the best Realtor to work with for our relocation to a family friendly part of FL. She really held our hand through the process. She's detailed and thorough. She remembered our wants while home touring and even helped us figure out our needs! She is by your side through the whole process and I am highly recommending her to our family and friends!
Michele was prepared for our initial home selling meeting with comps and info on the area. She had a photographer take our home photos which made our listing second to none. We had far more views on Zillow than any other homes in the area. She presented us the offers and talked us through them step by step. She also was the buyer agent on the new construction home we were purchasing. She combed through our contract and reviewed her findings. Throughout both the buying and selling process Michele made sure we knew what was happening each step of the way.
We had a limited time frame to find a place here due to being out of state and needed to move by this summer. Michele made it happen when she went above and beyond to help us find a place within two days. Her expert knowledge of the area ensured us an accepted offer right away. This would not have happened with any other agent. She continued to assist us throughout the closing process by communicating our needs with the seller, scheduling the inspections, taking photos for our insurance needs, providing updates on what have been completed and performed the final walk through on our behalf. We only had to come back the second time to pick up our keys to our new home. She even continues to assist us with our moving after the closing to make sure we have a smooth transition. We would definitely recommend Michele to anyone looking to find a new home here. Thank you Michele. We would not have done it without you.
Five stars really are not enough for Michele. She handled both my buy and my sell and I will never use or recommend anyone else. She is kind, patient, professional, knowledgeable and will walk you through every step, every situation as many times as necessary to make sure you understand and feel confident in every situation. And when she recommends anyone to assist in the process, you know they also will be the best . Also if Michele is your broker, you don't just have the best in the industry, you have a friend for life!
Michele helped my husband and I find our home on the first day of our search. It was the second property we saw that day and instantly fell in love with it. The entire process was a breeze, not what we were expecting! Having Michele as our advocate was an absolute blessing, she handled all of our questions and concerns with the builder and made sure we had all the information we needed to close successfully. We really cant thank her enough and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Tampa area!
I would give Michele all the stars if I could. She handled both my buy and my sell and I would never, EVER, use anyone else. She was kind, patient, thoughtful as well as informative, professional and efficient and as a result, my transactions were smooth. It's stressful to buy and sell, but Michele's calm and kind demeanor were extremely helpful in minimizing the anxiety. I happily refer her to everyone looking for a beyond excellent experience!
Michele is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. She carefully explained the entire home buying process and took the time to answer all of our questions carefully and thoroughly (as first time home buyers we had a lot of questions!). She really has her finger on the pulse of the housing market. Michele found the home my wife and I purchased on day 1 of our search and it was only the second property we looked at! She really went above and beyond to make sure all parties involved including the builder and loan officers stayed in touch with us and facilitated an extremely easy final closing day. My wife and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Michele!
Michele made my house-buying journey so seamless! Her extensive knowledge of the processes and advice along the way was invaluable. Her responsiveness to my questions and concerns, along with her ability to recommend providers within her network, allowed me to make seemingly innumerable decisions with confidence. Cannot express my appreciation enough!
One of the first things that introduced me to Michele was her news letter. Before I even thought of selling our home I seem to know Michele through her monthly news letters. They were informative not only about real estate but every day life. I won a couple of her Trivia questions and won gift cards. So when we decided to sell it was only logical to call Michele.
She was knowledgeable in her field and even arranged open houses and posted the listing on many social media. I basically didn't lift a finger. I would definitely recommend her if you are planning to either buy a home or sell your present home.
Her continuous feedback on preparation,staging and marketing was a reflection of her vast knowledge and experience in the real estate market . Would highly recommend her to any prospective buyer/seller.
Ive now worked with Michele through a home purchase and a home sale and she was an exceptional realtor in both avenues. Michele has the knowledge and experience to be able to explain your options and allow you to make the best informed decision for yourself. Shes available, attentive to sharing status and updates timely, and friendly. We had the best outcomes working with Michele.
Michele is dedicated and great to work with. She was accommodating in working with my husbands desires for a great outdoor space / lanai and my need for a gorgeous, albeit condensed version of a chefs kitchen.
Michele showed tremendous patience in dealing with my wife and I. We never knew what a great Realtor could do. She made us realize that a Realtor does more than just show houses. She made us feel that someone besides us has our best interest at heart.
We highly recommend Michele Curtin if you're in need of a realtor to help sell your home! Michele helped us navigate a series of tricky situations while going through our home selling process, and she made what could have been a negative experience into a positive one and we ended up selling our home for over asking price. She is courteous, professional, thoughtful and knows her market well. If you're looking to buy or sell in the New Tampa/Wesley Chapel areas, Michele is the realtor you want on your team! Thank you so much for everything, Michele!
Michele was wonderful to work with. She kept us informed thru every step of the process. When we had questions she was quick to respond with information that mattered. I would definitely use her again, and recommend her to family and friends!!!
Michele, this was the 4th purchase of real estate for Betty and in 43 years. It was the smoothest and most comfortable. Reason - you made it happen! Your professionalism and real estate savvy were 5 star.
It has been great working with Michele, she helped us find a home in Wesley Chapel Florida in one day. She assisted us during and after closing. If you're looking for a home in the Tampa area, make sure you contact Michele, Cartwright Reality, she will make it happen!
Very responsive. All questions answered and simplified details of the process were shared at the appropriate stage. She also went above and beyond providing contacts for pool inspectors, painters.... overall a great resource!
RELATOR EXTRAORDINAIRE! Professional; Partner; Competent; Artful Negotiator; Skillful Communicator; Gifted Consensus Builder; and Relationship Expert are just a few of the competencies one can expect in working with Michele. Michele found us our permanent home base after listening to "Our Story" and getting to know us and our needs. And the RELATIONSHIP didn't stop with completion of the transaction. The transaction with the beginning of the relationship that continued through our transition ensuring everything was perfect. The highlight of this for us was ironically 5 days after closing hurricane Irma blew in to town and our vacant new home sat vacant; and us near nervous breakdown 1200 miles away-- but there was Michele the morning after with photo and video assurances that our life's dream was indeed OK. Who does that today? A partner in a home purchase which is far more than anyone with a title of Realtor.
Michele worked with our family for over two years on acquisition of our home. My wife and I can be challenging. Michele stepped up to that challenge never pushing us on making a sale, but rather on locating the exact home where we felt comfortable. I would highly recommend Michele due to her local property knowledge.
Working with Michele made my home buying experience so much less stressful. She is Exceptional! I Highly recommend. Always available, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful in every way. Shes an asset to the real estate world for sure!
We'd strongly recommend Michele as your next Real Estate Agent. Michele was amazing. She patiently listened to our needs and found a list of best properties for us while most real estate agents try to show you properties that they can have a quick sale. After the viewings, she helped us filtering and narrowing down to one that best fit our needs. She constantly kept us updated during the process. Bao Truong & Trinh Ha

We found Michele by happenstance when we were starting our initial search for a new home. Michele quickly proved she is well organized, had our interests heart, listened to what we wanted and needed in our next home, and within weeks we owned our dream home thanks to her efforts. Buying our home was almost effortless with Michele on our team! 2018
Michele is far more than a Realtor-- she is a homebuyer's partner from listening and assessing a families unique needs, to locating suitable properties, and responding to changing needs and wants in a home. For Michele it is not about the transaction-- it is about the relationship.
Our situation was unique in that much of our search and communication with Michele was done from a distance to find a permanent "home base" after more than 30 years of moving around with the Army.
The final short list of home nailed 95% of the needs and wants list. Her knowledge of the community helped zero us in within days and she was there to show us the home after surprise Sunday flights to town because we were so impatient and excited to see the properties she found for us. In the end and we could not be happier with our home, community.
What impressed me the most with Michele was that even after negotiating, financing, and closing she still heard our needs in transitioning and remained there as a true partner-- and remains one today with recommendations on everything from contractors for home improvements to lawn care assuring we are partners in community with our REALTOR.
Anyone can sell a house; alas few can be and remain a buyer's/ sellers partner in community. 2017
