An expert on the mortgage market and the government aid programs available to financially struggling buyers, Michaela is particularly gratified when she helps a single parent, a newcomer to America or someone with damaged credit fulfill the dream of home ownership. She is likewise tireless and creative in serving her higher-end residential buyers, investors and repeat customers ready to move to larger homes. Active in the industry for more three decades, Michaela joined the staff at Hometown because, as part of a highly focused firm, she is free to serve her clients' needs without the burden of corporate bureaucracy common in larger agencies. That independence, along with keen negotiating skills and the latest technology, have enabled Michaela to achieve positive results quickly for her clients, consistently outperforming her competition. Michaela has won many awards for selling multi millions of dollars in real estate. Born and raised in Maple Shade, N.J., Michaela earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration with a specialty in marketing from Rowan University, and is also certified as a paralegal.

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
#1: Call me first to discuss your home buying needs.
#2: Get Pre Approved for a mortgage. I recommend using a local reputable lender. I can recommend lenders who have competitive interest rates & low closing costs.
#3: Be ready to buy. Our current real estate market is very, very active. Sellers are getting multiple offers & homes can sell for over the asking price. Be prepared for competition.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
#1: Call me to discuss the market value of your neighborhood.
#2: Your house will sell quicker and for more money if it's not cluttered and clean. Decluttering & cleaning go a long way. Curb appeal does matter!
#3: Price your home right. If you over price your home, it will sit on the market and you are missing out on potential buyers.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I work with NICE buyers & sellers who buy homes in all price ranges in Burlington, Camden & Gloucester counties. I also work with experienced investors who flip 25 or more homes per year.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I recently sold a home in Cherry Hill to a very nice family relocating from Queens, NY. I love working with nice people. They had realistic expectations and knew what they liked. I recently sold a home in Palmyra for a very nice woman who was the Executrix of her father's estate. I was happy that I could help her sell the home to settle the estate. Real estate transactions are a pleasure when people work together towards the goal whether it be a buyer buying a home or a seller selling a home.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I've always loved helping and serving people. My very wise Aunt told me that I should be a Realtor. When I graduated from college I went to paralegal school. I was a paralegal for little less than a year, I hated it. I decided to go to real estate school. The rest is history. I've been in real estate for more than 2 decades. I love helping people with the American dream of home ownership.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I have traveled all over the country attending real estate sales training with the major real estate trainers. In recent years, I decided that personal growth is best. I've attended seminars with Tony Robbins, John Maxwell, Les Brown & Jack Canfield. I believe in the Golden Rule. I am honest. I have integrity. I am ethical. I listen & I care. My clients interests & needs are more important than a commission to me.

Michaela represented me as a buyer when I purchased my home 12 years ago and again when I sold it. She was great both times! She sold our house in three days and walked us through every step of the closing process.

As a first time seller, Michaela was very patient with all of my questions and concerns. I didnt spend time shopping around for different realtors. After meeting with her, I felt comfortable moving forward. She let me know everything that was happening along the way. She went above and beyond to help me close on my house. I would highly recommend her
