What more of Michele's Clients Say...
I really liked the fact that Michele thoroughly explained the home-buying process to me and she was patient enough to write multiple offers and allowed me to make my own decision on pricing and the offer details. It was important to me that my real estate agent and mortgage banker were women so that I could feel listened to and heard and not pressured into a decision. I liked that she was willing to bike to look at house showings with me, even though maybe it meant she had to spend extra time at the showings and organizing her schedule differently. I liked that Michele helped organize the tree blossoming party along her avenue because it showed she is invested in creating a sense of community in her neighborhood. I liked that I could leverage her master gardener expertise when we were looking at the backyard garden potential of house lots.

This past April 2010 Michele Wiegand helped us sell our home. We were very fortunate to have had her help. Our house sold after only one week on the market, and at a price that allowed us to purchase the new house that we already had our eye on. Because we weren’t house-shopping, but wanted only the one place—a house that came on the market the same time as ours did— Michele was under some pressure to help us sell before someone else purchased the new property we wanted. Michele came through for us in a big way. For the Buyer with whom we signed a purchase agreement made a number of deal-breaking demands after the home inspection, one of which included remodeling a portion of the home before the closing.
My wife and I were ready to walk away from the deal. But Michele offered a very creative solution that kept the deal alive. She found someone to do the work that the Buyer was demanding, and at a very reasonable price. The work would be done after the closing at our cost. While it is a solution the Buyer ultimately rejected, it was a critical piece of the puzzle in getting us to a sale. The Buyer realized, I think, that if they indeed wanted the property, they had to stop playing games with us. They signed a contract the next day.
Michele is a very wonderful person to work with. We loved her honesty and sense of humor. We loved the fact that she sees herself as being part of a community, and that she is committed to this corner of the world. And we know that if we ever need to touch base with Michele, we can find her at our local Farmers’ Market.
