ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I (1st time home buyers using a VA loan) had a great experience working with Michelle Tramel and Cynthia Avalos while house hunting in a very competitive SD market. Michelle was very knowledgable about VA loans and gave us great advice/insight on homes we looked at. Her and Cynthia were impressively prompt in responding to us anytime we reached out (calls, texts, emails). It was always shocking how fast they would be able to schedule showings when we'd let them know we were interested in walking thru a home. Michelle went above and beyond with representing our interests when communicating/negotiating with sellers as well. We would definitely recommend working with Michelle and Cynthia to anyone in our circle.
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle helped my husband and I buy the home of our dreams. From the first interaction with her and the Military Home team we felt very confident and informed of the process of buying a home. She worked diligently to book us for viewings of homes that matched our needs and wants. She negotiated with the seller and was able to get everything we were asking for. We are very thankful for the entire Military Home Team for helping us buy our home.
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle made this selling process from start to finish all about us. She listened to our needs and provided professional knowledge to bridge our expectations to the results (excellent results). Not only did we sell for the price we wanted, but this house was off the market so quickly we could take our vacation way sooner than planned. The reality is that selling/buying a home can be stressful, especially with two kids and a newborn on the way. However, Michelle lifted so much weight off our backs that I did not feel so stressed. Her team could quickly provide repair and maintenance services to make the property sale-readyaEUR"also, the furnishing of the place was done spectacularly. I am a United States Marine with almost a decade invested in the lifestyle. Given my job title, you can understand that moving every couple of years is required for my family and me. We recently sold a California property through Michelle Tramel with Mission Realty Group; it was the best sale experience ever. This review is testimony of a great job done! Thank you, Michelle. We look forward to doing future business.
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle did an amazing job understanding what I needed to get for my home and exactly when to list based off of local comps. With the market as crazy as it is right now, her and her team surely put in the extra work to secure exactly what we wanted, following up with buyers, promoting, negotiating, and showing my home. She was there every step of the way, to include follow-up with repairs the inspector said were needed so we could still close on time. Absolutely amazing experience. I have recommended her, and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know moving to SoCal.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe are so lucky to had been able to work with Michelle and Paola. This was our first time buying a home and they guided us through this crazy market. They also recommended a couple of lenders to us and we ended up going with a local lender they recommended and we seriously had a dream team. Everyone we worked with was so attentive, knowledgeable and professional and on top of that have such great personalities. We had a tough time with the sellers and they kept pushing to make sure everything was taken care of. We had a really great experience and would go through the home buying process with them again. Highly recommend Michelle and Paola!

ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was amazing!!! We bought a house while stationed overseas and it went so smooth. We sent her a listing we saw online and she was the first one to give us a tour! She also helped us secure it, as we entered a bidding war. Along with her assistant Melissa, we couldn?t be happier with all the hard work they put in for us! Couldn?t recommend her enough!!
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle assisted my husband and I in selling our first starter home condo tp purchase larger home. We were nervous At first of how it would all play out but Michelle was outstanding! Everything went smoothly and communication was excellent. If there was a challenge or hurtle she?d be quick to come up with solutions and help us in whatever was needed. She is passionate about what she does and you can tell right away with her service. I recommend Michelle Tramel for anyone?s real estate needs! She?s amazing!
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was exactly what we needed while buying a house from across the country site unseen! I would highly recommend her to everybody I know needing to purchase a home. She went above and beyond what was expected of her as a realtor and helped keep some stress off our shoulders during our move
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was wonderful. She was very patient and helpful the entire time me and my husband were looking for a new home. She based her schedule around ours for all viewings and was even able to get us a great interest rate! Very knowledgeable in her work and in the San Diego area. Highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase or rent a home.
ZillowVERIFIEDWe knew we wanted to buy in San Diego, and would need to buy sight unseen, as we were moving from the other side of the country, and our schedules did not allow us to make trips in advance. Michelle would never have recommended a house or area to us that would not suit our family- with three toddlers! I believe that photos dont do a home justice, so we relied on Michelles word and FaceTime videos- the house is actually better than we imagined, and it continues to grow on us everyday. I would not change a thing about the process.
ZillowVERIFIEDIt?s our first time buying a house and I?m glad that we did it with her! Michelle is very responsive, she replied to our questions even after work hours. I don?t even know what?s work hours for her because she?s available 24/7! She took time helping us and made sure we understood everything about the process. She is friendly, professional, committed and everything you need to have the best buying experience. I highly recommend her! 11 out of 10!
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle helped our first time buying experience be amazing and smooth. She took her time to explain everything to us. She showed us plenty of houses until we felt like we found the one. She responds very quickly and truly cares about her clients. Couldn?t of made our dream come true without her. Would highly recommend her if you want someone who cares about their clients and their needs.
ZillowVERIFIEDOver a year ago we were working with a realtor who we just didnt click with we quit our search for a home. This year, we decided to try again and this time we sought out Michelles expertise based on other awesome reviews. She did not dissapoint! I consider my husband and I difficult clients. Being that this was our very first home, we had high expectations. She was very patient and responsive to us. She really listened to our needs and wants, and she didnt try to tell us what she thought was best for us. On the other hand, she was upfront and honest throughout the process as well. Btw: her expertise of the VA loan process was a bonus! Overall, she is awesome and I would recommend her! In addition to all the wondeful things about her as a realtor, I wanted to also mention her personality. She is very friendly and funny! Once, she sat with me on a curb and talked with me for a whole hour just about life, even though im sure she had many things to do that day! I appreciated that moment and it was then that I knew we made the right decision choosing her to be our realtor.
ZillowVERIFIEDHaving Michelle as a our Real Estate Agent has been nothing short of amazing! She is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about working the VA Home Loan process, and that was something big for us! Michelle is extremely talented, patient and kind in walking through us step by step! Always readily available for any and all questions we have! I can?t say enough great things about her. She is always willing to go above and beyond! When buying or selling your home, the only Realtor you should consider is Michelle! She is the tip of the spear, best of the best!!

ZillowVERIFIEDGreat experience, coming from someone in the business Michelle was on top of everything and my property even came in above Purchase and she negotiated credits even after seller had said no credits, we closed in 20 days amazing experience
ZillowVERIFIEDIf you want a realtor that will go the extra mile for you, then Michelle is your girl!! Our experience with her was very positive, and she is VERY responsive!! She went above and beyond to help us find our perfect home, answering our insane amount of questions, and even working after hours and researching further so that she could best represent us as clients. We were extremely happy with our experience and the service Michelle provided, and would recommend her to any prospective home buyers!
ZillowVERIFIEDWe were so fortunate to have found Michelle as we looked for our first home. As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house and made sure we got the one we wanted. She was patient as we visited many homes and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers for overpriced homes. In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Michelle was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. We would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a realtor that will have your best interest at heart. She maintained open and honest communication throughout the process and we were closing in 30 days. Overall great experience.
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle is very professional, patient, She?s attentive to detail and very easy to work with. She was always there to answer any questions I had and to provide answers no matter the time. Michelle is a straight shooter and extremely honest with her clients. It was really nice that she wanted to help me and get us into something we loved and not rush us just to make money. I highly recommend michelle to anyone seeking a truly professional Realtor. She even got the seller to drop the price! $20k for us! My husband and I were so lucky to have her!!! Don?t waste your time with anyone else.

ZillowVERIFIEDWont steer you wrong! Tells you pros & cons but leaves you to make the final decisions. Comps are always provided, and Michelle is super flexible to whatever work life you have going on. Her entire team is also just smooth and easy as her, with plenty of patience.
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle was very flexible with her schedule! I felt bad since I work late and suggested that we find homes on the weekends but she made it very clear that she was here for me! She even helped me find places in areas where I wasn?t looking. Eventually with her help I found the home for me! I would definitely recommend her. Trust me you will not regret it!
ZillowVERIFIEDI was so stressed about purchasing a home, not only as a first time buyer but also because my husband was underway (Navy) and unable to help make the decision. Then a friend tagged me on a property Michelle had. It was the perfect home and Michelle made things so easy throughout the process. She was responsive and caring. If I had a moment of stress, she talked me through it and helped me realize no reason to worry. I cant thank her enough for making this first time experience such a wonderful one!
ZillowVERIFIEDMichelle did a great job helping us thru this process. She was always there and answer all of our phone calls. Very positive attitude .. We love you Michelle.
