ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was outstanding in helping us find our home and getting it at a price we could afford. She dropped her commission so we could purchase our house in the budget we could afford. I would recommend her to anyone. She is kind, helpful and patient. So glad that our paths crossed.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle, Our experience was incredible. We relocated from Florida to N.C. without any exposure to the area. Michelle guided us through a complicated inspection process. We closed successfully and are very happy with our Realtor experience. I would recommend Michelle to our professional contacts, friends, and relatives. Very Respectfully, Amada Dahl

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was an amazing person to work with! She got us into multiple houses on a days notice and came prepared with the right info to help us make decisions. Even with our extremely short timeline and coming to the process without a pre-approval, because of Michelle and her connections, we were able to close on the perfect house.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was very professional and honest. She was constantly in contact with us on how many showings we had and shared feedback from each showing. We learned early in our contract (from feedback) what we needed to change in our next home going forward. She would suggest lowering our price from time to time, which eventually led to our sale. She offered to give advice on what the market was looking for when we start to build again. We felt Michelle had become a part of our family. Loved working with her and highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was great! She did an excellent job at highlighting the good points of the house, but still displaying the problem areas so as not to surprise potential buyers.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot express how grateful I am for Michelle's exceptional service as our realtor!

ZillowVERIFIED It is difficult to find a single word to describe Michelle, but awesome is a good start. We have been searching for a retirement home for over a year and throughout the process, Michelle spent the time to understand our specific needs and helped steer us through the many advantages/disadvantages of various locations and home designs. As out of state purchasers, we relied heavily on her expertise and found her to be incredibly accurate on the prediction of competitive offers and hot properties. We always felt like we were a priority to Michelle and she was always available for calls and video communications during home visits. When the home we purchased came on the market, she immediately called us and urged us to make a competitive offer. With her guidance, we beat out two bids that also came in on the first listing day. Her persuasive skills and logical arguments were successful in securing favorable resolutions to inspection and improvement items. She had us well prepared for closing despite the local turmoil caused by the devastating hurricane Helene. Michelle even took the initiative to find the original builder and organize a post inspection meeting with us to help clarify any design and construction concerns. She demonstrated an excellent knowledge and pragmatic suggestions related to the entire purchase process. After closing, Michelle eagerly helped us with local contractors for some minor work ahead of our move. In the end, Michelle's professionalism, knowledge, reliability, and contagious enthusiasm helped make this home selection and purchase as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Michelle who is by far the best realtor we have used in our previous five home purchases.

ZillowVERIFIED Let me just say Michelle is an absolute professional. I could not have asked for a better experience with a real estate agent. She was absolutely on the ball from the get-go, relentless and hard-working. She listened to everything I asked her to do as far as my input. And of course, her input was absolutely outstanding. I will recommend Michelle to anybody and everybody I know that needs to sell or buy any property. As far as I'm concerned Michelle is a member of our family now. As my late father what Ive said, she is the best of the best !

ZillowVERIFIED We thought we were knowledgeable having bought and sold seven homes in the past. We were so wrong, Michelle Ranieri was so helpful with so many things we that would never have occurred to us, all the way from the listing process to closing on both the home we sold and the home we purchased. In addition she was our partner all the way, always available to answer questions and provide thoughtful advice. Selling and purchasing a home is a much more technical and complex process than remembered and we were very fortunate to have the guidance of a professional, now a valued friend.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle is a true professional, a master in her field. No detail escapes scrutiny, and she is relentless in follow up. Michelle is always up to date, and has answers before you ask questions. Michelle took all of the work out of selling our property. You don't always see her, but you know she has been working to make things happen, and she is always just a call or text away. Michelle knows how to market your property for maximum effect, in no small part due to her excellent negotiation skills and extensive network of contacts. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have had Michelle for our agent, and cannot recommend her more highly.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle Ranieri is the best realtor around, no question. She had our backs from day one when we bought our first home, stuck around as a friend while we lived there, and then came through again when we decided to sell. With loads of experience, knowledge, and connections, shes got it all. But what really sets her apart is her genuine care and dedication. Working with Michelle instills safety and confidence, shes got all the best advice and knows exactly how to get you the results you want. She has been SO helpful to us through our moves and we are forever grateful. Our family loves Michelle!

ZillowVERIFIED This is the third house I have sold, and Michelle is by far the best realtor I have worked with. She made the process very easy for me. My house was on the market for only three days, and she was able to get me not just a great offer but a backup offer just in case the first offer backed out! I would definitely recommend!! Thank you so much for the great experience!

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was a fantastic representative when I was looking to buy a home in Asheville, NC. What I appreciated most was she gave me the honest truth, was not just trying to sell me any home. If home clearly had issues, she was honest and walked me through the particular issues. She was available around the clock to show homes and help me through the home-buying process. She also truly understands the Asheville, NC area through her many years of experience. When we were ready to make an offer, she was very honest on what it would take to successfully win the day. I highly recommend Michelle for your home-buying needs in the Asheville, NC area.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle came highly recommended by an associate who has used her services to purchase a number of properties in Asheville and the surrounding areas. I could not have been more satisfied. Not only was she incredibly supportive and compassionate, her attention to detail, knowledge of the Asheville market, and commitment to providing a quality home-buying experience made the process of purchasing my first home a seamless and positive experience.

Review for Member: Michelle Ranieri
ZillowVERIFIED We have worked with a few great Realtors over the years, but none that compare with our experience with Michelle. She has a highly evolved ability to work all of the sides against the middle with tack and solid credibility. The middle in this case being the successful sale of our home at the highest price. Michelle leaves nothing to chance from providing important info to help appraisers, to coordinating inspections, to alway being available. If you hirer her, be prepared to have your feelings hurt, because Michelle will tell you the truthaEUR|even if it hurts. At times when my ego got in the way of my logic, she was able to walk me back with reason and solid advice. Being in the middle of one of the strongest seller markets ever to hit the Asheville area, it would be easy to assume that anyone can get your home in the MLS, and that would be true. But the heavy lifting from that point forward can make or break a sale. Michelle has the compassion, knowledge, and God given gifts to see it all through with the perseverance of a kick boxer. I highly recommend her. Bill

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was an absolute pleasure to have as a realtor. As a first time home buyer, there was so much knowledge that I lacked and so many possible mistakes I could have made had I not have had her guidance. She was there every step of the way, taking her time to answer each and every question I had, and paying attention to all of my needs. Despite how in demand she is, she always made me feel like I was a priority. As a result of her dedication and commitment to me, she found me the home of my dreams. I will refer everyone I know who is in the market to buy or sell a home to Michelle Ranieri.

ZillowVERIFIED Hire Michelle for any of your real estate needs without an ounce of hesitancy. She is a true professional and goes above and beyond for her clients. We purchased a home site unseen from many states away, and could not have done it without her. I cant recommend her enough! There is no better realtor out there than Michelle.

ZillowVERIFIED I wasn't convinced I would find value in a realtor until I was referred to Michelle. From the moment we started to work with her, she was relentless in helping us find a home. She was available day and night and immediately responded to all of our questions. I can say with certainty that if not for her, we would not have found our new home. We would search every public website hourly looking for homes and as soon as a new home became available on MLS, even before it made it to the various websites, Michelle would tell us about it. She was there every step of the way, every day...showings, walk-throughs, inspections, contracts, closing...you name it, she was there and took care of it. Truly above and beyond our expectations. 5 stars aren't enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle is a real estate expert who truly provides exceptional service to her clients! I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience working with Michelle. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a professional, extraordinary realtor! From the beginning, she helped me identify what I was looking for in a house (since I was a first-time home buyer). From there, she went above and beyond answering all of my questions about the home buying process from start to finish. Michelle was my biggest supporter and really went to bat for me when I put in an offer on my dream home. During the due diligence process she walked me through every step and helped me get all of the appointments squared away with ease. She was so caring, considerate and trustworthy. Thank you SO MUCH Michelle for everything!

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle has an excellent knowledge of the real estate business. We had a complicated situation, and Michelle kept us informed of every issue and change along the way. She was always available to help us, she was at the house for every showing, and followed up with feedback. She helped us in decision making by explaining all sides of the issue while being impartial. Michelle is a great manager. In tricky situations, Michelle took the lead to ensure that all paperwork was completed and in order. Michelle is a good person. We liked her from our initial meeting. She loves her job, has a great sense of humor, and is compassionate and understanding. No matter how challenging the situation, Michelle took the high road. I respect her for that quality alone.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle used her profound experience and ample knowledge to get our house on the market and sold, expediently. She worked hard to negotiate through the process on our behalf, while our house was under contract, which enabled us to focus on preparations to move. Charismatic and a true professional with real estate experience spanning 30-years, in several states, she has the expertise to ensure the entire process remains effortless. Looking to buy or sell a home? Think Michelle Ranieri for all your real estate needs!

ZillowVERIFIED We have been fortunate to work with several very good realtors, but Michelle has proven to be the best. She worked with us through the COVID-19 pandemic as sellers agent for our home in Asheville and buyers agent for our new home in Fairview. She went above and beyond the call of duty making both closings as easy as possible during a very uncertain global crisis. If she can manage that she can manage anything! I strongly recommend her and she will be our agent of choice in the future. If I could give her a five PLUS rating we would!

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was very helpful in selling our house. We moved away before the house sold and left it furnished. So, it needed continued care and maintenance while we were not there during the sales process. She graciously made many aEURoeextraaEUR? trips to check on things and assure it was being properly cared for by others. And, she sold it! Greatly appreciate her flexibility and responsiveness to our needs.

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with starting from the very first conversation with her over the phone. We feel lucky to have been connected with her through Zillow, with us being from out of town we had no guidance on selecting a real estate agent to help us in our purchase. On the very first phone call, she asked the right questions to help us start to put together homes that would fit our needs and also some dreams. A few weeks later we got the chance to come back down to Asheville and meet Michelle for the first time. Michelle had helped us put together a list of homes over the previous 2 weeks so that when we did arrive in town we could see all of them within our time frame. Using her many years of experience she set the showings up in an order that allowed us to really compare the houses as we went through them to the previous ones. We had ambitions of living in many different parts of Asheville but as we drove around and learned about each area's property taxes, traffic, proximity to shopping, walking ability and much more from Michelle we narrowed our neighborhood down. We decided to put an offer in on our first home with Michelle and she shined as each step progressed, as things came up through the process we went through them together and felt comfortable moving forward. With us not living in the state she was able to be our eyes and ears on the ground through ought, being able to meet with the inspector and contractor for us. Prior to us closing she came and did a final walkthrough for us ensuring everything was up to par. The previous homeowner left the place still pretty dirty and this was not acceptable for her, she took it upon herself to bring a cleaning crew in before we moved in. Once we did close on the home we got the first call from her with a big genuine congratulations! Michelle has built up a great reputation in the area and has so many contacts to help with every step of the process. With us driving down late in the evening Asheville received some snow and Michelle wanted us to check in with her once we arrived safely, which was not until close to 11 PM. Even after closing, she visited us to check-in and make sure we did not need anything, I actually needed a ladder to do some work and she volunteered hers! Michelle made us feel like she was family with sharing stuff about her own and us doing the same, she turned a transaction into an experience. I feel very comfortable in recommending Michelle to help with your next home purchase.

ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I have moved numerous times domestically, and have partnered with many agents, from both a buyers and sellers position, and I will say emphatically that Michelle, hands down, has been the most intuitive, knowledgeable and communicative professional we have ever worked with. She operates with the highest degree of professionalism and efficiency at all times and always is one step ahead (if not more) during the entire process. Her knowledge of the Asheville market was unparalleled from the start. Michelle will bring many different aspects of the transaction to your attention which only comes with years of experience. During the entire process she was always very instrumental in making sure the move as a whole, went as smoothly and stress free as possible. Bottom line is I have absolutely no hesitation on recommending Michelle, one conversation with Michelle and you will clearly understand my review.

ZillowVERIFIED Not only is Michelle the best realtor I have ever worked with, she put me in touch with other team professionals who are on her level as well - lending agents, home inspectors, contractors, etc. Michelle is every bit as professional as she is personable and sharp, and her experience across different buying situations in different states, for me, put her several levels above all other agents I have worked with. I would not hesitate to recommend Michelle to any buyer who values drive, dedication, integrity and true partnership in a real estate process.

Review for Member: Michelle Ranieri
ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was terrific in all aspects related to the sale of our home. We initially had some reticence about putting our house on the market and she did not try to pressure us in any way, just letting us know she was available if and when we were ready. When we did make the decision to sell, she thoroughly understood the complexities of the market and suggested a listing price that exceeded neighborhood comparables because she recognized that we had significantly upgraded the house during our time of ownership. She engaged a talented photographer who expertly captured the attributes of the home. Michelle was extremely responsive to emails and questions that we had throughout the process and checked in regularly even when we weren't reaching out to her. In order to provide additional exposure, Michelle coordinated a Broker's Open House which was highly attended. Ultimately, our house was under contract in less than 90 days and sold for over 96% of the asking price. We could not have been more pleased with Michelle's efforts on our behalf!! I would highly recommend her if you are considering the sale of your home!

ZillowVERIFIED Michelle was excellent to work with. She was able to sell our home in a tough high end market due to the high inventory of homes and very limited qualified buyers. Her marketing techniques worked where other realtors had failed in the past. Her photographs and brochure was the best which highlighted the features of the home without being overwhelming. It left potential buyers focused on the on what made our home special. The biggest compliment that we can give her is that we would not hesitate to use her again should the need arise and would recommend her to anyone looking for a professional agent that understands the high end market in the Asheville area and the markets where potential buyers come from.
