ZillowVERIFIEDSimply the best. MichelleaEUR~s support is outstanding. We are not living in the US and she organized everything for us. And she knew from the beginning the best place to buy for us. Unbeatable.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was just what we needed in a difficult market. Her knowledge of the market and of the Island are unmatched. Communication was instant - even when she was very busy. I've been involved with real estate transactions for years, both as a buyer and a seller - I can say the Michelle is - by far - the best agent that I have ever worked with.

ZillowVERIFIED We chose Michelle to sell our house based on our knowledge of her personal integrity and professional abilities. She did not disappoint and our house was sold quickly. Her advice on the listing, staging and photography really helped with the sale.She was available throughout the process, listing to closing. We highly recommend her services.

ZillowVERIFIED We've done three transactions with Michelle in the last two years and her skills and personality are suited exactly to her profession. Our first buy was with Michelle as our agent, and she helped us get the condo we needed at the time. Just recently, we decided we needed to upgrade, and she provided the knowledge and expertise we needed to end up in what is arguably the best villa in Perico Bay Club (PBC), albeit in need of a re-do (which we knew in advance). Our condo was under contract in less than 10 days of listing, at our targeted price, and our villa just a few days after. She guided us through that rather tricky buy on the villa which we're now living in. She worked well with all the parties involved, so I do believe everyone was happy. Great job again, Michelle!

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle is a very well connected and intuitive real estate professional who knows the local markets extremely well and is very adept in her craft. She listened to me, asked the right questions and didn't waste time showing me properties that I either couldn't afford or were more to her benefit in selling than what I was looking for. Her advice and guidance were key during negotiations leading to a significant reduction from the asking price of the house we bought. She also introduced me to a wonderful, local professional who has been absolutely instrumental in refreshing the house we bought, which was in serious need updating. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a property on the island or surrounding areas. I will certainly be going back to her for our next place.

ZillowVERIFIED Professional no nonsense Agent who actually listens to what you are looking for. I have met a few incompetent ones in my time and Michelle is not one of them. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED MICHELLE is realtor of the year in our books. Her professional advise about the island and her calming ways made our transactions smooth. We have used local companies she has referenced and have not been disappointed by any of them. When selling we listened to her staging advise with enthusiastic outcomes. Michelle communicated with us constantly on items that came up and needed follow through.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle simply goes above and beyond what is expected of a real estate agent. Her local knowledge and understanding of the market truly helped us get the best property for the best price. She was continuously in contact throughout the process and promptly returned our calls and texts; even on Sundays!Michelle was fun to work with and took the "edge" off the overwhelming experience of buying a new home. It really felt like we we had family member working with us.If/when we are ready to buy or sell again, I hope Michelle will do us the pleasure of being our agent!

ZillowVERIFIED We were looking for a house on Anna Maria and the first person we were working with was not listening to our requests. We walked in to Duncan and we were introduced to Michelle. We needed an education in order to make an informed decision and that is exactly what Michelle did. Michelle shared her knowledge and that continued after we returned to NY. The distance was not a problem for Michelle and she responded quickly to our emails and calls. Michelle was open and honest when we asked her opinion when a new house came up for sale. We were her primary concern, not making a sale. We bought a house in 2014 and while staying at the house in 2016 we invited Michelle over. I told her that I was considering purchasing a smaller home and she gave us an update on the current market. Michelle was extremely patient while I made my decision and never pressured me in any way. We put the house up for sale with Michelle and she sold it quickly and at a price we were happy with and found us the perfect home for us. We cannot say enough good things about Michelle and we have had 3 transactions with her in less than 3 years. Not only is she a great Real Estate Professional, she a wonderful person as well. We highly recommend Michelle.

ZillowVERIFIED She is informed, expresses herself well, is not pushy, and is very helpful. It was a pleasure to buy from her. She showed us a variety of places and we were able to compare them. Michelle knows the area very well and is clearly very experienced, which showed in all of our dealings. She soon became very aware of our financial possibilities and limitations. In the end we chose a condo that is perfect for us, and we have kept in touch with her. She continues to be very helpful. I would certainly recommend her to anyone wanting to buy a house in Bradenton-Sarasota. Roberto GonzA!lez EchevarrA-a

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was very great in helping us find the condo that fit our needs when moving to the Bradenton area as well as connecting us to our lending and insurance professionals. Her knowledge of the area and its neighborhoods helped us hone in on the home that represented the best balance of location, size, condition and price. To coin an old phrase, "she knows her stuff" and how to convert that knowledge to a happy client. Kudos!

ZillowVERIFIED After many years of visiting Anna Maria Island we made the decision to purchase a home. Being out of state buyers made it imperative to find an agent who was able to give the extra attention needed to guide us through the process. Michelle kept us continually updated on available properties and went above and beyond to answer our questions about relocating to Florida. Once we identified the property we wanted she was quick to respond and with her guidance and expertise we negotiated and closed on the property without a hitch. Michelle's knowledge of the area and finely tuned skills gave us complete confidence in her abilities. She demonstrated professionalism every step of the way and was a pleasure to work with. We would recommend Michelle to anyone seeking an agent and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED We consider Michelle not only a friend but an angel sent to us when we needed help. It was truly by chance that we met Michelle, but we are so thankful that we did. When we initially were looking for a home to buy on Anna Maria island, we were relying on a favor from a friend from Miami to help us. After one one day, we were done, and without ANY prospects. In a state of complete discouragement we happen to drive by Michelle's house and she just happened to be outside. We stopped to ask her about her house (which is lovely, by the way) and she listened to our story. Michelle has been taking care of us ever since. That afternoon, we looked at several houses and had several more lined up for the next day. Since we were only on the island for one week (coming from Brazil) time was of the essence, and Michelle was there every step of the way. That was last month and we just closed on our new home a few days ago. Michelle is a God-send to us. We are still in contact almost daily and as I said earlier, we hope to count her as a friend forever. I give Michelle my highest possible recommendation.

ZillowVERIFIED Buying a home can be very stressful, but Michelle Laade turned it into a very positive experience. We were not actually planning on buying a second beach home. We were just looking while we were visiting the island. Michelle offered to take us around to look homes on the market that might be in our price range. We found exactly what we wanted and she helped us negotiate the price we were comfortable with. She went beyond the call of duty and did our walkthrough for us. We are so glad she did because she was very thorough. She made her punch-list and had everything taken care of before settlement. Until Michelle, I'd never worked with a realtor that I felt genuinely had our backs. We give Michelle 5 stars for her professionalism, loyalty, honesty and efficiency. In my opinion, she's actually a "10".

ZillowVERIFIED It has been our pleasure to work with Michelle over the last few years. She is patient, available, honest, and has immense personal knowledge of the Bradenton area. If she doesn't know something or have an answer to a question she will find out. Michelle is by far the hardest working realtor that my family has ever worked with. You can feel confident that you are her number one priority when you work with Michelle.

ZillowVERIFIED As Brits selling a house in the US for the first time we had no prior knowledge of a suitable Realtor. We chose Michelle as she had sold our neighbors home the previous year. We were very impressed with Michelle from start to finish. She took some great photos of our place and marketed it extremely well. She devoted time to doing Open Days and found us a serious buyer within a few months. Before proceeding with the purchase our buyers wanted to be sure they could install a pool. However, the City refused to give them a permit due to changes that had been introduced in the Cities code since our house was built in 2005. Michelle negotiated with the Buyers Realtor and the Cities Planning Division to ensure we didn't lose the sale and a compromise was reached. As we were in the UK at the time all negotiations on our behalf were down to Michelle. We would highly recommend Michelle to anyone thinking of selling their home.

ZillowVERIFIED I have bought and sold 10+ homes over the years and the buying process with Michelle was the most pleasant. Not only is she a true real estate professional, but she knows the area - and she listens to her clients! She is dedicated to ensuring they get a good investment that meets their requirements. Responsiveness is her forte'! Buying a house is stressful enough and Michelle understands the pros and cons of different decisions and diligently works to ensure the process is streamlined. I wish she was involved in all my closings! Other realtors could learn from her.
