As a first time home buyer with little experience in the real estate world, finding Michelle through Zillow was an absolute miracle. She is a go getter, hard worker (especially when having to close a deal in such a short period of time), professional, a great communicator and trustworthy. I was extremely fortunate to have found Michelle and I greatly appreciated her guidance throughout the entire process. She is an exceptional Realtor!
My wife and I were incredibly lucky to have Michelle Burns as our realtor. By pure chance, we were put in contact with her through Zillow, but we are so grateful she was the person chosen. She is very good at her job - a true problem solver, excellent listener and communicator, level headed and very grounded. She really understands the real estate business and truly cares in helping you. She helped us find our forever home. If you are looking for a good, solid realtor that doesn't ever pressure you, I highly recommend Michelle!
Michelle was great helping us find a home. She is very attentive, personable, professional and dedicated to her clients. We were lucky to have had her as our realtor!
As a first time home buyer Michelle made things simple and not scary. With her knowledge we were able to get a great deal and we love the home we ultimately bought.
Michelle was extremely caring in helping us purchase our home. Our purchase came with some difficulties and she did everything she could to make it a smooth and positive experience. Add on that I was living in another state she did an amazing job working with me and my husband who had already moved here. Michelle was diligent and stayed in constant contact with both of us. Hands down Michelle has got to be one of the kindest agents and continued to be there for us after we moved in. Working with Michelle was a pleasure. The available marked in Gunnison is limited needless to say and Michelle was able to get us into a wonderful home.
Our dream of owning a home in Gunnison Colorado would not have been realized, if it hadnt of been for Michelle Burns. She was so organized and on the ball from the first time we spoke with her. She took the time to show us everything available that was in our price range. She was always very professional, followed through on all the details. She kept us up to date on anything new that came on the market and was so willing to go the extra mile to help us find a home in a tough market. We really enjoyed working with her, she is extremely patient, kind and trustworthy. We would recommend her to anyone looking for real estate in Colorado.Linda and David Dixon
Michelle is amazing! We were able to buy our dream house because she was so organized and on top of it. She is quick to answer any questions no matter how small or seemingly silly, and she walked us through every house we wanted to look at with even more suggestions from her end. We were so lucky to have her on our team, and I highly recommend her!

On a road trip with my son, I got a new listing alert on a Zillow search. We were several hundred miles away and decided to detour to see if we could get in to see the property. The first Michell had ever heard from me was when I cold called her to tell her we were driving that way and to ask if she could get us a showing. She jumped through hoops to make that happen - something that was amazing, given how we connected. and with next to zero lead time.I didnt end up buying that house, but I travelled back to the area and she showed me a number of other properties. I had sent her a few listings as examples - she took those, added to them and made my several days in the area great. I ended up making an offer during that visit.Michelle is fantastic - she REALLY knows the area; was great at sharing her pro and con knowledge of the area to help me narrow the search; was quickly able to get an understanding of my wants; arranged several meetings with local residents to share their insights; kept me on track with all my action items during the buy/close process; AND was just a plain hoot to be with!I have purchased a lot of real estate in the last 40 years and have dealt with 30ish realtors during that time. Honestly - Michelle is my favorite! I would highly recommend her if you are moving her direction (and I guess moving away, too!).
Mi experiencia fue maravillosa! Una agente muy apasionada en su trabajo, my responsable, amable, todo el tiempo me ayudA3 con mis dudas y mis preguntas, muy feliz con la compra !!Thanks so much Michelle Burns
Michelle is a very personable agent who was very willing to spend time with us as we walked through this major step in our loves. She was patient and always had lots of information to share with us. We were in and out of this process since we lived out of state. She was always prepared with information she could send us, and when we were on site, she was willing to give us plenty of time to process the entire project. I would recommend Michelle Burns to any friend or family member who showed an interest in real estate in this area. Many thanks for her genuine kindness and thoughtfulness.
Michelle was so helpful. Not only did she help us with the property showings and the purchase process, but she was extremely helpful in connecting us with local resources for lending and property management. It was a pleasure to work with her and she is truly an expert in resort property real estate.
Michelle Burns was a delight to work with. We had two properties that we wanted to see. As is usually the case, my husband and I preferred different ones. Michelle did a wonderful job of first mediating and then pointing out pluses and minuses to each one. Long story short, we did end up with one, with Michelles help and negotiation and the whole process was very painless thanks again to Michelle. She was always there to answer a question or with a quick text telling us it was time to do this or that. She made us feel like we were her most important clients and nothing was a bother. She truly is a bright light in what can be a very stressful and scary time. She even remembered that our anniversary was the day of closing and had a very special gift for us. Michelle Burns is one of those rare individuals that you come across all too rarely in life. She does what she says she will do, and she is who she appears to be. I would highly recommend Michelle.
We look for a few things in a real estate agent~someone who is aEURoeWYSIWYGaEUR? (What You See Is What You Get), someone who can make the process fun (not laborious), and someone who will respect our cap on price. We were fortunate to find all three in Michelle Burns. We met Michelle while casually seeing properties in Crested Butte, not at all sure if this would be a fit for us. Michelles availability and engagement with us when we were aEURoeJust looking at the marketaEUR? was no different as we became serious. She worked just as hard from beginning to end. It is critical for us to find an agent that will not only represent our interests, but is able to emulate our approach to negotiation. Michelle always represented us in a way that was consistent with our goals, as well as the seller's. She had plenty of opportunity as we made four offers over five daysaEUR| and around a holiday weekend. We appreciated her candor. We never felt pushed or manipulated. When she thought we were headed in the wrong direction, she spoke frankly with us. Over several disappointed attempts to get aEURoetheaEUR? place we loved in a hot market, Michelle seemed to buy into our aEURoedreamaEUR? with us. She never gave up that wed find the aEURoerightaEUR? fit in a place for us and she helped us dream when wed about given up a few times. You know your agent is a good fit for you when you become friends. She handled herself and our transaction in a aEURoe5 staraEUR? fashion. We HIGHLY recommend Michelle Burns.
Michelle was very very knowledgeable with the mountain property that she sold for us. She sold it in just a few months to the perfect buyers. We would highly recommend her services. She made the process easy and seamless. She was very accessible and very professional. We are extremely happy with her and her company and would use her again in a heartbeat.
Michelle was a delight to work with! She's quite jovial and very responsive with email and text messages, even when she went on vacation! Michelle helped us find and lock down a really great house. She gave us a "FaceTime" tour of the property when we couldn't be there in person (on the day when the house got multiple offers). She was also quite knowledgable with how much we should offer to lock it in without going too overboard. Also, Michelle has a super sweet golden retriever named Yoda that accompanies her when showing homes. Yoda helps with the drudgery of looking at home after home after home...
The real estate search for just the right property can be a daunting task. And when a property of interest pops up on the market, you want to see it as soon as possible before the next potential buyer does. Michelle Burns is a great realtor to make that happen! Not only has she been willing and happy to arrange her schedule to accommodate our interests, Michelle knows the area well, asks the right questions to protect us as a buyer, reasearches all aspects of the property, and is very easy going yet extremely professional. This bundled package is making our second home search a fun adventure! Thanks Michelle!
Michelle was very quick to always call back and email my requests when I needed to see more listings. She is very knowledgeable of the Arrowhead area and surrounding areas of the Gunnison area.
Michelle recently represented me as the buyers agent for a land purchase. I could not have been more satisfied. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable in her profession and went out of her way to find the contacts I needed in the municipality where the purchase was located.Michelle always answers her phone, and works seven days a week ! Impressive all the way around.
Michelle was pleasant to work with. My husband and I were new to Gunnison and she was very knowledgeable of the area and understanding of our situation with needing to find a home fast. I would recommend her for anyone looking to purchase a home in the Gunnison area.
Michelle literally went over mountains and off trail to show us our purchased property. We were ready to give up but Michelle persisted and now we have the dream property we were looking for. She also helped with local information as we are moving from out-of-state. We give Michelle **11** stars.
I really enjoyed working with Michelle. She was very patient with us as we took our time finding the right piece of land we wanted to buy. Her expertise and kind demeanor, were a perfect fit for my wife and I. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a great realtor in the Gunnison/Crested Butte and surrounding areas.
Michelle was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the area. She went well beyond my expectations professionally and still took a great deal of time to show me around the area even after I chose my new home. Many details were handled by her including well permits and an extended lease for the sellers which was invaluable to me as my current residence is over two thousand miles away. I would and will recommend her to any of my contacts who are looking for a home in the area.
Michelle was very helpful when it came to facilitating information between the lender and I. She also helped fulfill my requests in regards to last minute negotiations with the seller. My favorite thing about Michelle is her personality, she is personable and honest. You can tell she has a great work ethic and gets the job done!
Michelle is very knowledgeable, she was very patient and responded to all my requests right away. Michelle offered information and helped me throughout the buying process. She was not pushy and she understood my feelings too.
Michelle Rocks! She is easy to deal with and knows her stuff. She showed came ahead of time and spent a considerable amount of time with us becoming knowledgeable about or property (and it's kind of a complex property). She scheduled the showing well in advance of the date chosen and arrived on time. She did a fantastic job showing the property and informing the customer about the particulars of our homes. She is a great choice for buyers and sellers alike!
Michelle helped me buy a house and the process went absolutely perfectly. I appreciated her responsiveness and ability to negotiate the very best deal possible. I was rather surprised how much money she saved me and how smoothly the process went. I will use Michelle again and again and recommend that you do too.
Michelle is very responsive and helpful! She maintains a consistent flow of communication throughout the process, which was appreciated. I have contracted her services again and would highly recommend her to others!
Looking for a great Real Estate Agent? Look no further than Michelle Burns. After shopping around for an Agent in the area I found others that weren't interested in putting in the effort for a sale in my price range (not a big enough commission I guess). When I called Michelle's office I was treated like a VIP, this continued all the way through closing. She thinks fast, acts fast and delivers on everything she promises.
Michelle is always ready and willing to service the client. She is a good energy about her and she has a very exhaustive search capability to help clients find what they are looking for. We have been very happy with the service that we received from her.
Michelle was very helpful with our mountain cabin purchase. She made the process very enjoyable and was willing to do what it took to make the process run smoothly. She even came out to our camp site to have us sign papers (since we were on vacation camping when this deal transpired) and enjoyed a meal with us. Very friendly and easy to work with.
