Michelle Beckman Real Estate

"How do you quickly sell a condo (with dozens available for sale in the surrounding blocks) and then buy a house that has everything you need and want (in an extremely competitive market)--all while trying to work from home in the middle of a pandemic? Hire Michelle! She even helped us find an excellent place to rent during the transition.

She gets the real estate business from all sides, knows the shifting Puget Sound market and she understands people! She's one of the best, hardest-working negotiators I've ever met and helped us score great terms with our offer (that we hadn't even thought of to ask for), both before and after the inspection. Her hustle, intelligence, empathy, and ability to balance multiple backup plans going at once are exactly what you want in an agent.

We had tons of concerns about the timing, process, safety and strategy of both selling and buying and Michelle anticipated most of those and then some--answering our questions quickly and thoroughly, with data to back it up, at any time of the day and sometimes late at night. She kept in constant communication with our lender and gave us regular updates and checklists to keep the whole process moving along speedily and smoothly.

She helped us navigate a roller coaster day with 2 separate offer review deadlines and we ended up getting a house and garden we love. We could not ask for more and would recommend her to any friend or family member who wants to sell or buy (or both!)"

"My wife and I cannot recommend Michelle enough! We started the process of searching for Our First Home not even quite a month after the birth of our first child. We were strapped for time, and did not have any background in buying a home, and really didn't know what to expect (especially during COVID). Michelle could not have made things more simple, straightforward, understandable, and achievable.

It was clear from every interaction we had with Michelle that customer service means the a great deal to her. She checked in with us regularly to see how we were doing, if any questions were arising, if she could be of any help at all. She was always prompt and thorough in responding to our questions, no matter what day of the week, or time of day we sent them. In fact, she typically would expand on our questions providing even more insight.

She had clearly done research on every home we looked at, and was ready and willing to share her insights and opinions. I can't, and don't want to, imagine going through this process with any other agent."

"As our real estate agent, Michelle Beckman was able to do the impossible: she was able to sell my condo in the face of what felt like insurmountable barriers. With the pandemic and a glut of condos for sale in our area, I was very anxious when we listed my condo. I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find a buyer. However, Michelle eased my fears throughout the process with her professional and extensive real estate knowledge.

Her staging of my condo was so jaw-dropping amazing, I almost reconsidered wanting to sell! She thoroughly researched comps and clearly communicated to me how to price my condo in a way that enabled me to make a fair and informed decision. Whether it was early morning or late at night, she was prompt and responsive to all of my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process so that I always knew what would happen next. Michelle helped me understand the different marketing strategies and how to best increase buyer’s traffic. And sure enough, with her strategic advice, we started to get multiple viewings in a very short time frame.

After we received an offer, Michelle was a zealous advocate when it came time to negotiate, and she always had our financial best interests in mind. We are now able to buy the house of our dreams because of Michelle’s expertise and excellence as a real estate agent!"
