ZillowVERIFIEDMary Ellen Lowry and Michelle Porter were a wonderful team! They helped me purchase a new home and sell my old one. The closings were just weeks apart, and they were responsive and thorough throughout both processes. I highly recommend them!

ZillowVERIFIEDI am writing this review as Michelle is closing on the sale of our Greensboro rental property. How did we select Michelle to direct, manage and close our property sale? Because we had firsthand experience with Michelle when she sold our primary home in Greensboro a few years ago. At that time, we researched other real estate agencies and their agents and asked to speak to them further about their resumes. When Michelle met with us at our home, we immediately recognized her professionalism, real estate market knowledge and her people skills. Michelle had already prepared her marketing plan. She reviewed how she would market our home, with advertising, property photos, etc.. Michelle involved us in determining our asking price, after she showed us comparable houses sold. After that Michelle managed the whole process , negotiating to obtain our full asking price and selling the house in a very short time. So, no research was needed this time. We contacted Michell from Wilmington and gave her the address of the property to sell. Same professional process as before. We talked together through several options to sell the property. One of which was to sell it directly to an investor at a very low price due to upgrades that would be required. Michelle decided it was worth the effort to put on the market as is, at a significantly higher price than the real estate investors were offering. The result was the sale of the property at a 50% higher price than offered by the real estate investors. If that wasnt enough, when I decided to do a 1031 exchange, Michelle offered advice and information about converting the standard sale into a 1031 sale . In one example, Michelle pointed to a payment I had received from the sale and advised me to send it back so as not to jeopardize the 1031 exchange rules. I also must tell you that I never went to Greensboro or met Michelle during this sale. We communicated regularly by phone and email. Michelle arranged for the house to be cleaned and met with potential buyers, keeping us abreast of what was happening. She managed all the sales and legal documents with the buyers broker and closed with no issues! That is the confidence we have in Michelle! I hope you will take this review as our 5-star recommendation for Michelle Porter to represent you in your Real Estate transactions. Dennis & Vicki Johnson

ZillowVERIFIEDOMG!!! There are not enough words to explain how wonderful Michelle and her assistant Mary Ellen were. My parents have not brought a house in over 40 years and the process has changed since then. They were so patience even when my parents kept going back and forth on what they wanted. She would offer valuable input and was always timely in responding to questions. Michelle had a long talk with them and finally help them to figure out what was really important to them. Even though the process took some time, my parents eventually found the perfect home for them. They are so excited and we all sing Michelle and Mary Ellen praises. They are an awesome team and it was a pleasure to work with them. I recommended them to anyone!!!

ZillowVERIFIEDExtremely happy and pleased with Michelle and her assistant. They were very responsive to our questions and helping us to get the home that was perfect for us!!! She knew much about the real estate market and when we toured the homes she looked at details that as home buyers we did not notice. She pointed out the good and the bad things. She just didn't sell us a house but she found the right one. Never felt that she was rushing us to buy and always ready to show my daughter and me more houses. She spent much time going through the settlement papers explaining everything that made it easy to understand. I can't say enough great things about her & I highly recommend her whether you are a buyer or seller. Very knowledgeable about today's market & the challenges!!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was the second time my husband and I have had the good fortune to use Michelle Porter and her team for our real estate needs. After buying a home with her five years ago, we were excited to sell that same home with her this time around. She and her assistant, Mary Ellen, are wonderful to work with. They are very knowledgeable about all the intricacies of real estate and have experience working with relocation companies. They are also easy to communicate with and return emails and calls promptly. When we ran into complications with our home warranty company, they were effective advocates and helped us achieve a favorable resolution. We highly recommend Michelle and her team to anyone buying or selling real estate in the Greensboro area.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle is an outstanding realtor who responds promptly to all manner of client inquiries. We especially appreciated her attention to detail in every home we toured. Michelle and her team simplified the closing process for us with checklists and recommendations of professionals who were prompt, reliable, and fair. We are fortunate to have had a friend recommend her to us, and we gladly now do the same for anyone who is looking for a realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with a Michelle has been the best experience we could have asked for. Her and her assistant Mary Ellen were always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. The past few months have been so much easier than we could have imagined because of their attention to detail and responsiveness. We highly recommend her!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe were in a bit of a hurry to find just the right home and Michelle quick learned what we were looking for in home and property. She was available and worked hard to find us just the right home. She also knew the markets very well and in a short time, knew what we were looking for. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone searching in the Triad.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle did a great job of advising us on the market and pricing in advance of listing our home. In addition, her help in managing multiple offers and then through the closing reflected her years of experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was our third real estate transaction with Michelle and her team. She thoroughly researched the market and surrounding areas to determine the best listing price to sell our home. Her marketing materials were impressive and our house sold quickly! Her team ensured the closing was smooth and she responded quickly to any questions. Michelle also helped us purchase our new home and her knowledge of the Triad is extensive. She spent a lot of time with us identifying our priorities when looking for a new home and this information combined with her experience in the area enabled us to look at only 3 houses before we found our perfect new home. She negotiated diligently on our behalf and made recommendations to ensure we purchased at a fair price. Her team is impressive, so many things happening behind the scenes that we didn't even know about but all combined to ensure our closing and move had no issues. We strongly recommend you choose Michelle for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a house with Michelle was a great experience. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and since we needed to move very soon, she was very fast at getting us through the home-buying process while still being thorough. She was very knowledgeable about the whole process and you could tell she really cared about her job and clients. We would highly recommend Michelle and will definitely be using her again in the future!

ZillowVERIFIEDA true professional. We had a bit of a time with delayed closing because buyer had loan issues that caused delays. She was professional throughout the process. It took longer to sell than we wanted primarily because of weather in Jan. & Feb. But she kept plugging. She is a worker. If you are serious I would recommend her strongly.

It was the combination of her insights, expertise, and accessibility that made this new venture a lot less stressful for me. I had confidence in her ability to guide me through this process...and that she did successfully. The sale of my home is complete. I owe it to Michelle and her wonderful assistant Mary Ellen.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was very helpful over the extended process of looking for and buying a home. She clearly knew the areas and markets, and, once we were under contract, she knew a variety of inspectors, engineers and other due diligence people who she could vouch for and who were responsive and knowledgeable.

ZillowVERIFIEDHaving moved several times, we have worked with over 10 realtors. Michelle is at the top of the list. She did her homework in developing a recommendation for an asking price. She didnt just list it and wait for something to happen. She aggressively marketed the home. She helped with the negotiation, assisted in finding contractors to repair items and made sure all the paperwork flowed smoothly. We highly recommend Michelle.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle and her asst (Mary Ellen) are very organized and set reasonable expectations. I had a lot of curveballs both in selling and purchasing process and they both were unflappable. They also have very good contacts to have needed work done before listing and during due diligence. They also will make times work to show houses. Good experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle is an excellent real estate professional, she was very helpful and knowledgeable about the availability of properties in the Greensboro area based upon the interest that my partners and I expressed.She went above and beyond the pale in ensuring my partners and I had the most updated information about the property and surrounding community and pripspective developments that were in the planning phase.The home my partners and I ended up purchasing was shown to us internally via video as tenant was still living in the property at the time of our in-person visit. The video recording was extremely professional and detailed, which gave us the comfort to ultimately move forward with the purchase.She facilitated the process of purchasing the home with all involved parties seamlessly.I would certainly recommend potential home buyers to utilize her services.

I found her to have extensive knowledge of the local market, she provided a strong analysis of comps in determining the listing price and in considering offers, she engaged in innovative and creative marketing, she provided periodic reports to me regarding feedback from the house showings, and she was extremely responsive in dealing with the prospective buyer and the buyer's agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle and Mary Ellen,Thank you so much for your help in selling our home in such a short time. You both were great from the first meeting when we listed our home until the closing. You worked tirelessly on our behalf, and we so appreciated your professionalism and commitment to dealing with the details of each step of the process. Another aspect of your work with us was that one of you was always available to answer questions or hear concerns. We are so appreciative of that characteristic of your business. In today's world, customer service isn't always a priority. Our dealings with you made us feel like selling our home and helping us work through the process was a top priority for you both!

ZillowVERIFIEDWith two grown children in the Triad, we have worked with Michelle on three occasions. In the past she acted as buyers' agent for the purchase of a townhouse and house. Recently, we retained her services as sellers' agent for the sale of a home in Jamestown. It was listed in mid-Feburary, sold the first week, and closed in early April. She and her assistant, Mary Ellen, guided us through the ups and downs of the due diligence period and helped negotiate reasonable repair request. Thereupon Michelle arranged for contractors to complete repairs in a timely manner.We are very pleased with the results and would use Michelle again in the future when a need arises.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is the 4th transaction I have done with Michelle & her team. They are all very professional and knowledgeable. This time around I was a very motivated seller, but Michelle gave me guidance which I wouldn't have otherwise considered ultimately resulting in a higher asking price. I felt she had my best interest in mind throughout the process and was in NO WAY pushing for a sale, just for a sale. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone and will definitely use her in the future.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe worked with Michelle to sell a second home we owned in High Point NC. She gave us excellent advise on what it needed to be "move-in-ready" and insure a quick sale! The house was on the market less than 45 days and sold for full price!Living out-of-state, we relied on Michelle to recommend professionals for repairs, inspections, painting and cleanup. Everyone she suggested was responsive and did excellent work! We would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a realtor in the Greensboro-High Point area!!

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was extremely knowledgeable about the local market due to her experience level and helped us present the properties in the most favorable light. She made the negotiation and closing processes pain-free given that the properties were 200 miles from my home. Of particular benefit were her contacts with local contractors for cleaning, landscaping, etc. She handled the myriad of little annoyances that occur during any sale and was always honest and upfront.
