Michelle assisted us with finding a home in Durango after searching for years with other realtors. She listened to what we were looking for and showed us more suitable options than any other realtors we have worked with in Durango. If you are serious about purchasing a home in the Durango area, I highly recommend working with Michelle!!!

From the first meeting until we closed, Michelle was 100% present and spot on with each step. We were buying for the first time in Durango not knowing anyone. She set us up with everyone and everything we needed to have a seamless close and is still helping us as we plan our first trip to see our new house. We have felt at ease and taken care of completely. easiest showing and closing ever! Thank you Michelle! We are so excited we found the perfect house!

Michelle was such a huge asset to us!! Found the perfect property and then led an aggressive negotiation to get us the best deal. She knew every state and local law and did so much for us! Thank you!

Working with Michelle at the Blackmore Group was truly a first class experience. Beyond her professionalism, deep local knowledge, connections and experience what stood out the most was how genuinely she cared about our best interests. She guided us every step of the way and had a protective approach that built trust and confidence from start to finish. Michelle’s integrity, dedication and commitment to doing right by us made the entire experience exceptional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent!

Michelle brings in-depth knowledge of the Animas Valley and Durango along with years of real estate experience. Her ability to listen to our needs and then quickly filter available options made for an efficient experience. I always felt she cared and was on our side. I highly recommend Michelle!

We worked with Michelle Brown as the buyers, and we can’t say enough good things. This process had a lot of moving parts, and she handled everything with such calm, clarity, and professionalism. What stood out most was how responsive and present Michelle was. We always felt like we had someone truly in our corner answering questions quickly, guiding us through decisions, and advocating for us. Nothing ever felt pushy or rushed. It always felt like the focus was on us making the right decision, not just closing a deal , and that meant a lot. Communication was consistent, honest, and clear the entire time, which made a huge difference in a process that can easily feel overwhelming. We’re really grateful to have had Michelle on our side and would absolutely recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home.

We are moving to Southwest Colorado from out of state. Michelle’s knowledge of the area and local market was tremendously helpful in finding our new home. Michelle is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and provided valuable guidance when making an offer on our home. Our experience working with Michelle was amazing throughout the process and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Michelle Brown is an elite real estate professional who executes at the highest level. She recently closed the sale of our property in Durango, and her performance was nothing short of exceptional. This was the third time she listed this property for us, and she relentlessly pushed through over 50 showings to get the job done. Since we were out-of-state sellers, Michelle served as our primary 'boots on the ground' liaison and project manager. She didn’t just handle the standard realtor duties; she rolled up her sleeves and got dirty. From performing handyman services, changing lightbulbs, and sweeping up messes, to managing onsite contractors, she did the hard work most agents won't touch. She expertly negotiated the contract, navigated complex hurdles like septic permits and HUD inspections, and closed the deal. Her commitment exceeded standard market expectations so completely that we voluntarily increased her commission at closing to reflect the actual manual labor and oversight she provided. If you need a direct, proactive, and relentless agent who will do whatever it takes to complete the mission, hire Michelle Brown. Thank you, Michelle!

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.

I highly recommend Michelle Brown for all your real estate needs. She knows Durango and has helped me find the area that suits me the best. She is very responsive and a true expert. Michelle will spend all the time you need finding the right property.

Michelle was a pleasure to work with. She got things done when we needed her to. Overall great experience and we enjoyed working with her.

I have known Michelle for about 20 years on a professional level as a Home Inspector. I've always been impressed with her integrity, experience and professionalism. I have hired her to represent me and my father when buying a house in December of 2019 then in July of 2024 to sell my dads place since he had recently passed. It was always a pleasure working with Michelle on both of these deals. I had complete confidence in her as she is a total professional, good communicator and went above and beyond to get the job done! Thanks Michelle

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Michelle brown 6 years ago purchasing our home in Durango and then selling it this December 2024! From beginning to the end she is there for you! She knows the market, is a great communicator, gets it done and is on your side every step of the way! I am beyond impressed with her calm, confident energy! We are grateful to have worked with Michelle and 💯 recommend her to anyone looking for their Durango home! 😀

Michelle has been incredible! This home buying process would have been an impossible feat without Michelle's hard work, attention to detail, and vast knowledge. She is kind and easy to work with and I am so grateful! Thank you Michelle!

Had such a great experience with Michelle in purchasing my condo, that I knew without a doubt she was my go-to for my home purchase! She’s very knowledgeable and patient with the process and made sure my needs were met. Thanks, Michelle!

Michelle was wonderful to work with and worked diligently to sell our home in a market that was glutted with inventory. We chose her because of her extensive experience and her reputation for high integrity.

My wife and I first met Michelle about a year ago thru an online inquiry about homes in the Durango area. For the next 12 months Michelle was accommodating, patient and provided much needed insight to the area which was incredibly important as we were not locals. After our 12 month search we closed on a home last week. We never would have been able to find the property we did without Michelle's help and professional insight. By far and away this was the best real estate broker experience we have ever had. Thank you Michelle for your patience and making our Durango mountain home purchase a positive and rewarding experience.
