“We met Michele in her office and she gave us a very detailed overview of the entire process. We were looking to buy our first home, and we wanted someone with experience and good negotiation skills to represent us in the competitive bay area real estate market.
Michele was always responsive to our questions. She was enthusiastic and met us whenever we saw something we thought we wanted, even though it was not always the best use of time. She never hesitated to accommodate us, even through the rainy days.
She found us off market deal in a lovely neighborhood. With her advice we were well positioned to make a successful bid. She made the closing process quick and smooth.
Michele is dedicated, genuine and honest. We are greatly appreciative and would highly recommend her.

“As a homeowner, I highly recommend Michele as your agent. She has selling your house down to a science! All our neighbors commented on how fast we sold our home and this would not have been possible without Michele. Michele is an excellent communicator who is direct in her opinions and approach. It was a lot more work then I had expected to get our house on the market. Michelle has a plethora of resources to make this easy. If you want someone who knows what she’s doing, thinks many steps in advance, and advocates for you then you should contact Michele.

“It was with sadness that I needed to sell my home in East Oakland and leave the Bay Area after living in Oakland for almost 30 yrs. Though I hesitated in making the decision, Michele was patient and more than understanding. She worked with my schedule and then when I pulled the trigger she went full bore marketing the house. I received a very fair price for the house. No question is too silly or ridiculous for her to answer. As others have said, she’s the most transparent realtor I’ve ever worked with. And her follow-up very disciplined. She cares about her clients and it shows. She has a great crew that she works with - stager, handyman, etc. They all did a very professional job and in spite of COVID were able to complete all that needed to be done on time. I’ve already recommended her to other friends thinking of moving. If I ever return to the Bay Area to live, I will definitely engage Michele’s services again!”

“Michele is a great realtor. She is detail oriented and helpful in giving suggestions on staging my unit. I saved a ton of money because of that. I also appreciate her transparency and diligence on following up after each appointment. It is important to work with someone who is good at giving status and knowing what is going on and if things need to be pivoted to get the job done!”

“Michele was a dream come true! She made the process of selling our house so easy. She took care of all the details and delivered on all our expectations! She knows the Bay Area market and exactly how to execute a successful sale.”

“Michele Senitzer was the agent representing the seller on a condo we purchased. We were so impressed with her communication, professionalism, and attention to detail that when it came time to sell that condo, we hired Michele to sell the property. Since my husband is a retired realtor with decades of experience and I’m an admitted perfectionist, we could not have been the easiest of clients. She met every question with forthrightness and grace. Michele “got” who we were and responded exactly on point with the added bonus of a wry sense of humor. Michele works very hard and smart and you will be the beneficiary. She is a pleasure to deal with and has impeccable integrity. Michele was instrumental in closing our transaction (at a very fair price) in the middle of a global pandemic. What higher recommendation could you require? Many thanks, Michele!

“My husband and I met Michele on an open house tour, and are so glad we did. Michele does not mince words, and she is incredibly savvy at what she does. She directed us to a wonderful mortgage provider, when the one we’d worked with previously was not-so-great, and she provided honest insight on what we could afford in the Bay Area market.

She is a stellar negotiator. The first home we offered on, was accepted, even though we only offered at asking. This is largely due to her skill in building a relationship with the selling agent, sussing out what the sellers desired, and then coaching us on our offer accordingly. Having the offer accepted two hours after placing it and the keys to the home two weeks after was something we never could have anticipated.

All in all, we could not be more thankful to have met and worked with Michele. On top of being exceptional at what she does, she is fun to hang out with. Working with her made home buying feel easy, and we couldn’t have dreamt up a better real estate agent - she is truly in a class of her own.”

“Michele was extremely communicative, offered multiple marketing strategies, and was extremely knowledgeable about Oakland. The moment we met at our home she started talking about all the restaurants, coffee shops, and character of the neighborhood.
We put the house back on the market and within 10 days, we received multiple offers. We ultimately sold the home for well over what our original expectations were. We absolutely believe our home sold so quickly and for so much because of Michele’s knowledge of both the Oakland market and her skill as a realtor. She’s not just a great negotiator, she’s the epitome of professional. All our documents were perfect, no mistakes. She walked us through all the nuances of a real estate transaction like it was nothing. After we received our offer, the entire process was so smooth that I started to tune out of the entire transaction.
If you live in the Bay, especially the Oakland area, I highly recommend Michele as a realtor. True professional. Thanks Michele!

“Michelle was very helpful during the process of looking and buying our house. Based on what we were looking for, the neighborhood and specially our budget, she understood us and gave us the right options. She was very patient with us since we were first time buyers, and she took the time to explain every step of the process, once we made the offer she kept everything and everyone on track, she was constantly tackling TODOs and communicating effectively with everyone. Even after the house was closed, she helped us take care of a few remaining items. We couldn’t be happier with her job, specially if you are first time buyers like us.”

“We loved Michele so much - let me count the ways!!!!
1. Competence - She KNOWS her stuff, and it shows from market pricing to random property questions. Pricing is super important for both buyers and sellers. As a buyer, I am so happy to have Michele on my side because I feel like she had my back to not overbid or underbid; buying a home is an emotional purchase—so people can have the tendency to make bad decisions on offer prices. She can really help guide you.
2. Communication - It is said that you can tell the depth of someone’s understanding by how simple they can provide explanation. This is Michele. Straightforward, no dancing around, no candycoating. ( She did give me candies in the end though
3. Network - Michele can tap into her network or sellers/buyers in the real estate world to get information - which is valuable in a real estate transaction. What banks do sellers prefer? What is the tendency of a certain real estate group? Conservative pricing? Ambitious?
4. Small things matter - restless about something? I texted her. Suggestions on house décor/landscape? She has it. Suggestions on areas? She has it. Negotiating parking space, time frame, lightbulbs, etc? You betcha!
I am sitting happy in my new home waiting for my custom couch to be delivered really all because of her. Thanks for getting us into our new home.”
