Testimonials

Taylor Luneau

I worked with Michelle Brown to sell my home in Durango under some very complicated circumstances, and I can say without hesitation that she was the steady hand I needed through every part of the process. From the beginning, Michelle brought clarity, experience, and compassion to a situation that involved more than just a standard real estate transaction. There were layers of logistical hurdles — yet Michelle navigated all of it with patience, professionalism, and a steady sense of purpose. She took the time to understand not only the property, but also broader priorities (timing, presentation, broader market trends) and executed the plan with grace, tact, and fairness. Even when life threw personal challenges her way, Michelle never missed a beat. She stayed committed, highly responsive, and clear-eyed about how to get the house prepped, priced, and marketed effectively. Thanks to her network of local contractors and tradespeople, I was able to handle pre-sale improvements from a distance, relying heavily on her guidance and coordination. Her marketing approach generated strong, competitive offers and she helped me navigate those negotiations with a calm, informed presence. Michelle didn’t just help sell a house. She helped guide me through an important life transition with an incredible mix of professionalism, resilience, and heart. I’m deeply grateful — and highly recommend her to anyone who needs more than just a transaction, but a true advocate in their corner.

Michelle was absolutely fabulous to work with. We are not from the area and coming from the city. Any property we were interested in she would make sure we were aware of many things I’ve never had to think of living in the city. She rearranged her schedule every time we were in town to accommodate us. She’s knows the area very well which was so helpful. She listened to what we were hoping to find and patiently helped us find a place that checked those boxes. I wouldn’t have gone to see the home we ended up with without her suggesting it. She knows what she’s doing and was such a pleasure to work with.

Her dedication and expertise played a significant role in facilitating a successful sale, particularly during the open house event. Michelle's exceptional skills and negotiation tactics ultimately resulted in a sale that met my expectations, yielding a substantial profit. I was also very pleased with the level of ease and communication throughout the process, making my experience a positive one. If you are looking for a real estate agent who embodies the qualities of professionalism, dedication, and expertise, I strongly recommend Michelle Brown. Her exceptional abilities and commitment to her clients make her an outstanding choice for those seeking to achieve the best results in the sale of their property. Sincerely, Mary Ancira
