Michelle is the best! A focused realtor, with great marketing and negotiation skills, and attention to detail. We highly recommend her particularly when selling and buying a home in Clayton, CA. She helped with all aspects of the sale including staging, inspections, contractor help, moving some furniture out and even taking out our trash! ;)
My wife Donna and I were first-time homebuyers and honestly had no idea where to begin. We happened to walk into an open house that Michelle was hosting, told her it was our first time buying a home, and that we werent even pre-approved yet. She immediately put us at ease and told us that was okay, she would help guide us through the entire process step by step. From that moment on, Michelle was incredible. She spent a lot of time with us answering every question we had and explaining the full home buying process from start to finish in a way that was clear and easy to understand. She is extremely knowledgeable and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even exciting. She also introduced us to our lender, which helped everything move smoothly. Once we submitted our offer, it became very clear how well she knew the property and the process. She was always responsive and proactive even when there were no open items, she would check in just to see if we had questions or needed anything. She was welcoming, thoughtful, thorough, and truly listened to our concerns. If we were unsure about something, she either explained it clearly or connected us with the right people right away. Michelle genuinely cares about her clients, and it shows in everything she does. My wife and I felt we were in very good hands throughout the entire journey. We would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and we would not hesitate to work with her again.
Ive worked with Michelle in the past to sell and buy a home, she is responsive, knows the market and is easy to work with. I didnt hesitate to call her when we needed help selling my dads house after his passing. My parents lived in their house for over 50 years, there was a lot of emotion and we sold the house as is. Michelle was patient and walked through every detail, providing great advice and setting real expectations with the process. She made sure we knew what was going on throughout the entire process and helped us with information and questions we didnt know to ask. I would highly recommend Michelle and will be calling her if and when we decide to buy or sell again.
Michelle is very organized and works with a terrific team. She is very considerate of her clients and has highly professional negotiation and closing skills.
Michelle was so helpful to us in the purchasing of our new house. She provided very useful suggestions during the offering phase. She was also very aggressive in terms of dealing with our lenders so we were competitive. When our existing lender was not competitive enough in terms of days to closing, she managed to get us in touch with a lender who was. Our house came with chickens that we though we wanted. When we realized we couldnt handle 8 chickens (including 2 roosters), Michelle quickly mobilized her local resources. We were able to find them a new loving home in a day. I highly recommend anyone to work with Michelle!
Michelle is very personable and went out of her way to help me see a property out of my area and provided a lot of info and support before I was even her client. She helped me create a top bid out of 16 offers to get my place and supported my ability to get professionals I needed who are amazing to do some upgrades on my place. She was very responsive as well and a huge help. Thank you Michelle for getting me into my home and fast!
Michelles extensive knowledge of the local market was a huge help to us in narrowing down our home search. Her guidance throughout the entire home buying process easily saved us months in finding and buying the right home. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle Gittleman to anyone looking for an agent. She is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and a pleasure to work with.
We have had the pleasure of working with Michelle across a number of transactions. Michelle was the selling agent on our home purchase 3 years ago. She didn?t represent us at the time, but we were thoroughly impressed on all of her deliverables. We knew that when the time came again, she would be our first call. Well that time came this year, when we decided to purchase a new home and sell our existing. Michelle was there every step of the way, available as a sounding board or to chat at any time. We relied on her expertise surrounding loan approval, home inspections, setting contingencies, school zones and really any general community question. She has a wealth of experience to touch on and really represents her clients. With her help, we were able to purchase our dream home and sell our existing home for over asking price! We highly recommend Michelle!
We have nothing but great things to say about Michelle on both the buying and selling side of our real estate transactions. First she made the seemingly impossible possible on securing our target home. Even with the pandemic, where safety is of utmost importance to Michelle, we were able to structure an offer and successfully purchase the home of our dreams. With all the challenges of COVID-19 she helped us prepare, list and price the home we sold including arranging photography and a virtual tour. Even with no open house she sold our house with a significant premium over her recommended asking price. Michelle is a talented agent on both sides of real estate transactions.
Very happy with Michelle Gittleman as my realtor. Professional, always available, great negotiator, communicative, resourceful, helpful - and got the job done! I had to sell my home when there were already several places in the area for sale. Michelle was optimistic and tackled each bump in the road proactively. Highly recommend.
Michelle was an excellent professional who helped my Fiance and I purchase our first home. Despite the competitive nature of purchasing a home, she walked us through the entire process and made sure we understood everything. Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Michelle was a pleasure to work with. Always professional and knowledgeable. Worked ver6 hard to obtain the best offer and guide me through the process. She worked with my son and daughter in law to find a home in the area several years ago and my niece recently as well. Highly recommend Michelle.
Michelle was wonderful to work with. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the local real estate market. She was able to make recommendations for contractors who helped us fix our house so we could sell it for top dollar. I would definitely recommend her as a real estate agent!
We met Michelle during the open house she was showing; and we eventually bought. My wife and I weren?t working with an agent, so Michelle was able able to offer her services and agreed to represent us. She made the process so easy and no issues. We closed shortly afterwards. I?m usually skeptical about Real Estate agents; and frankly, I don?t trust any of them. Michelle is the exception. She is professional and knowledgeable, but mostly she cares about her clients; not just ?closing the deal?. She continued to follow up with us after we closed. Michelle has also given us many outstanding referrals for home improvement and contracting. We highly recommend using Michelle. If your not using Michelle then God help you because she?s the best!
Very helpful with recommendations to assist in your move - and always pleasant. Made the move less stressful - had great ideas where to donate I would recommend her if youre looking to buy or sell
I had a real bad experience with RW at KW. I had to wait for my contract to expire to be saved. I met Michelle she was a dream. Before I knew it my house was expertly staged and sold in about a week with multiple offers for more than asking. Thank you Michelle
Michelle was wonderful to work with. She kept me informed with all the information I needed and walked me through the process. Michelle went the extra mile when needed to say the least. Selling a home and living in another country is difficult at best but Michelle went above and beyond to put in place all the extras that were needed to make sure the house was in complete order before the completion date. I really appreciated very much everything she did for me. Anyone who has Michelle in their corner whether they are buying or selling will be very pleased with the outcome they hope to achieve, I know I am.
From the very first phone we made to Michelle we felt as though we were in good hands. Confident, calm and ready to sell - she knew exactly what needed to be done to sell our home for top dollar. Acting as a project manager she hired, scheduled and over-saw our homes mini-renovation while we were out of state. We sold over asking! Michelle Gittleman is an excellent real estate agent who went above and beyond her duties to sell our home.
Many people dread the process of selling a home. There is so many things to remember, schedule and follow-up on. Michelle was instrumental helping us get all of these things done. I dont consider her a realtor as much as she is a subject matter expert on helping you sell your home at the price you should get. We highly recommend her!
We met Michelle at a house viewing, and as first-time buyers, we had a LOT of questions. Michelle was extremely gracious and open, and helped us smartly navigate the first tricky steps of purchasing a home. She was very honest, responsive and helpful with great advice. I would very highly recommend working with Michelle, whether youre a first-time buyer, or a seasoned owner looking for a new home.
Michelle had an action plan to sell my house fast and it worked...I think it was on the market only a couple of days before we got an offer that held all the way through escrow
I listed my home for sale with Michelle, she was one of 3 realtors that I had considered. I was happy I chose Michelle. The sale process went as smoothly as these type of transaction can be. She was very helpful in explaining each step.
Michelle helped us purchase a new home and sell our old home. Shes personable, capable, thorough, and accommodating. She advocated for us in all respects on the purchasing side, and she promoted the sale of our house so we were able to obtain our asking price. She exceeded our expectations and was professional and knowledgable. We highly recommend Michelle!
Michelle is awesome. I dont think I could have found a better Realtor. When I decided to sell my 28 year old home with original finishes (polished brass hardware, honey oak cabinets....) I asked Michelle what I needed to do to prepare for sale. After Michelles recommended changes were completed and seven days on the market, we received six offers, all over asking price. That result beat my expectations by a mile, but what really struck me is how much she truly cares about people. Her and her team are hard to find in todays world. Michele is a rare gem.
Michelle has helped us come full circle, first with our short sale over 5 years ago and now with the purchase of our new home. Michelle guided us through the entire process and helped us get the best possible deal! Michelle is both knowledgeable and also incredibly responsive, which makes a difference in the market today. We couldnt be happier with Michelles service!
Michelle is a fantastic real estate agent. She really knows her stuff... very thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. She kept us in the loop throughout the entire process, and set realistic expectations on pricing, time frames, and risks. Youll know what to expect early on in the process. I would highly recommend Michelle as an agent and would not hesitate to use her services again. We couldnt be any more pleased.
Michelle gave us guidance in preparing our home for sell , whats items needed to be addressed and how , recommendations on people to do the work and she followed up on the on the quality and completion of the jobs done as we had moved out of state when the work was performed. She gave us excellent advice thru the selling process and what was going to happen . She stayed in communication with us in a timely manner and keeper us informed on what was going to happen next. We highly recommend Michelle as a realtor
Michelle was professional and very knowledgeable of the market and the area. She kept in constant contact with us throughout the entire transaction on the purchase of our home. She was always available to us, and never told that her work hours were done for the day. If something needed to be taken care of, she would always take care of it in a timely manner. Michelle was outstanding and we would not hesitate to refer or use her services again. Barry and Denise Grove
Michelle was great to work with when selling my home. I needed her advise several times during the renovation process and she came to the house immediately. She is very organized and efficient. Thanks to Michelle we sold our home quickly and without any issues. She also uses, Julie Mancini, a fantastic home stager.
Michelle very successfully managed the sale or our old residence and purchase of our new residence. She consistently exceeded our expectations and kept our best interest first and foremost. In addition to leading us through the home sale and purchase processes, she also intervened with our home warranty company to ensure our claims were reimbursed. She is terrific to work with and both my husband and I highly recommend her.
I had a very small window of opportunity to look at homes outside of San Francisco and Michelle was most accommodating to my needs. She knew the territory and was able to get us to a large number of homes in a very short period of time. Michelle also was very very familiar with the areas that I was looking in and was able to provide me with enough information for me to make wise decisions about purchasing a home. As a realtor she was efficient and patient. Michelle was a pleasure to deal with on every level of the transaction.
I highly recommend Michelle Gittleman as the agent representing you. Michelle is experienced and will give you recommendations and advice on what is necessary to sell your home as fast as possible. She diligent and energetic. I had all the confidence in the world that Michelle would be the one to get the job done and she did it while always having my needs in mind. Thank you Michelle!
Michelle was extremely helpful to get us through a difficult and complicated transaction .Her strategy helped us with a very reluctant seller ,who was on and off all the time. She was very prompt to return calls and follow up on new development .Also I need to mention that; the creative way buyer and sellers agent cooperated with each other was a major point in closing the Escrow ,and we appreciate that. Although we are done with buying , I would definitely recommend her to our friends.
Michelle knows the Clayton area like the back of her hand and this specific knowledge served us extremely well. She was also wise about the vagarities of trying to find and make an offer on a house in this wild market of many buyers and a small inventory of available homes for sale. We appreciated her pointers and guidance and would recommend her to others who are looking to buy in the area.
Michelle was extremely helpful through a long, complicated short-sale process. She gave us excellent advice and helped us get a phenomenal deal right in our target neighborhood. I can honestly say that our whole deal would not have happened without her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor. Thanks Michelle!
Michelle gets the job done every time! She is dedicated and helped me through several short sale transactions, until I found the property that was right for me. She never lost her patience. There is much frustration to be found in a short sale, that would test the resolve of most Realtors, and Ive seen it all -- bidding wars, evasive sellers, clueless listing agents, multiple banks, lack of communication, time constraints and threats of pending foreclosure. Through it all, Michelle stayed cool and collected in the face of incredible challenges. She communicates well with the other parties to keep the transaction moving along. She maintains a solid presence and a clear head. She is always the professional.
Michelle was great in helping us purchase our home in Clayton. Although it was a very long short sale, she kept us apprised of everything and was prompt in responding to our questions. We would definetly recommend her as a realtor.
Michelle recently helped me purchase a home in Concord & I couldnt have worked with a better Realtor. What could have been a stressful & emotionally draining process unfolded amazingly smooth despite the fact there were a number of factors working against us (purchased a short sale, time constraints, & a $300K budget to name a few). I highly recommend working with Michelle & will contact her for any real estate matters I may have in the future.
Michelle made an otherwise stressful short sale process seem easy. She was incredibly responsive and consistently put us at ease. She stayed on top of our mortgage lender and kept us apprised of what was going on and what we needed to do. We will definitely use her once we are ready to purchase again!
Michelle is the short sale master! She really put me at ease with the whole short sale process. I was very hesitant and very emotional through this process. She helped me see the light at the end of the tunnel that I will have a better future with this behind me. She worked so well with both of my banks. I had a first with Chase and a second with Citi bank. She knew how to work with negotiators. My whole process went really smoothly. She answered all my questions and was okay if I needed more time to research or talk to an attorney or tax person for all the implications. She knew all the new rules and was knowledgeable. She made me feel so special like I owned a million dollar home instead of a shortsale for $200K. I know Michelle treats all her clients the same. She also had my best interest in site as a client and wanted me to get everything I wanted as we sold the property. I love her....plus an added bonus she helped me find me a rental home.
