Testimonials

Michelle is an absolutely amazing realtor! Her knowledge of the market, expert advice, patience and professionalism make her a star. Michelle's guidance in selecting our home was unparalleled - and we now have our dream home thanks to all of her hard work and dedications!

Michelle was very professional and knowledgeable. We started working with Michelle at the very beginning of our search and she helped us navigate different neighborhoods and home features. We were especially impressed with her attention to details as she would notice things about homes that we had missed. Michelle was very responsive and prompt. She helped us find our new home. And her expertise during the escrow and closing process was superb. We are so grateful.

Michelle's market knowledge and negotiation skills are only matched by her professionalism. She represented my husband and I on both the sell and buy side and in both experiences she made herself available to answer any questions we had no matter the time of day. On the sell side, Michelle staged our home to look more beautiful than ever and her marketing pictures and materials were of unbelievable quality. Michelle was able to accurately assess the value of our property and her negotiations increased the buyer's original offer significantly. She provided diligent updates throughout the process and made closing a breeze. After just a couple of weeks on the market we sold it for nearly our asking price, all thanks to Michelle! Similarly, on the buy side, she diligently went to search for us and we found our dream home off-market in a difficult time with limited inventory. Our experience with Michelle was flawless. Thank you again Michelle, your clients are the luckiest to be represented by a true expert who works so hard on her clients behalf.

As first time home buyers, we knew NOTHING about this process and trying it for the first time in Newport was nothing short of daunting. In arguably one of the hottest markets around, with houses literally going into escrow in a day, this could have been a very terrifying and nerve-wracking experience. Luckily, we had Michelle advocating on our behalf to make the process almost seamless and stress free. We ended up getting the home of our dreams and we couldn't be happier in hindsight. I would absolutely recommend using Michelle to anyone else looking at buying a new home anywhere around Newport.

Michelle is incredible at her job. She helped my wife and I purchase our first home and she held our hands throughout the whole process from start to finish. She grew to become way more than a real estate agent. I think of Michelle as our go-to real estate advisor when it comes to buying and selling a home. I 10/10 recommend Michelle!

Michelle is amazing! We were moving from Los Angeles to Newport with little knowledge of the area. Michelle was incredibly informative, providing data and insights on the market. In addition, she helped us find the house of our dreams and negotiated an excellent price. I don't know where we would be without her. Thank you, Michelle!

Michelle embodies the contemporary real estate agent. She is competent, smart, professional, and a great communicator. She has knowledge beyond her years.

Michelle was instrumental in finding us our dream home after years of searching. She not only facilitated the purchase of the home, but she also ensured all logistical ins and outs of buying a new home were handled effortlessly and with as little stress as possible. She worked tirelessly to find us the perfect home and we are so thankful for her tremendous knowledge and determination. I recommend her without reservation!

Michelle is the ultimate professional!  She worked with us over a year in finding the right house, at the right price, in a very competitive market. Michelle has excellent people skills and seems to know everyone in the industry! She has a network of contacts that respond quickly to her request for help when things need to get done. Michelle demonstrated outstanding knowledge in all areas of our transaction. She is first class in every way and no nonsense when it comes to making sure her clients are represented properly and professionally until the deal is closed (and beyond if necessary). Words cannot express the gratitude and respect we have for Michelle Linovitz. In our opinion, Michelle is truly the best of the best!  And... she has become a close, dear friend to us as well. :)

Michelle was such a pleasure to work with! She assisted me with helping my mom buy a 2nd home near my husband and I, which will eventually become my mom’s (soon to be grandma) primary residence. I’ve previously worked in Real Estate/Property Management so I knew a fair amount of how things work and Michelle was by far the most prompt, thorough and professional agent I’ve worked with. She made the stressful process of buying a new home an absolute breeze and made sure this home was perfect for my mom to transition to. We couldn’t be happier with the process or more appreciative of how hard Michelle worked to make sure everything went smoothly.

Michelle was great to work with throughout the whole process of finding and purchasing our new home!  She was very helpful as we started the process, looking at every neighborhood trying to find the right fit for our family, and when we found the right house, she did an excellent job of positioning our offer to compete with the others already on the table.  She is a real professional and we would highly recommend working with Michelle when buying or selling your next home!

I can’t imagine a more seamless transaction as Michelle helped us find our first home.  She was always available to answer my questions (which I had many), worked great with the seller, and was thoroughly knowledgeable of the market.  Our house had multiple offers on it in a very competitive market, and without her recommendation on where to make our offer I doubt we would have secured the house.  I’d highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an incredible realtor who will work tirelessly for you as you buy or sell your home.

Michelle presented an offer when our house was not on the market.  We were immediately impressed with her professionalism and decided to let her represent both sides of the transaction.  She was always responsive, efficient and diligent in keeping both parties on track and sticking to the letter of the agreement.  She was instrumental and patient in assisting us in our relocation since the sale was unexpected.  With her guidance she made the whole process as painless as possible.  Her knowledge of the market, negotiating skills and delightful demeanor place her in the front of the pack in a very saturated Real Estate field in Newport/CDM.  She is a true professional and we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to buy/sell or lease in the area.

We used Michelle on both the buy and sell side. Both transactions were smooth, seamless and coordinated beautifully by Michelle. She has excellent natural communication skills and patience needed to achieve a quick yet unforced transaction. She listened and understood our needs but also made sure that both sides of each transaction got what they needed in a very genuine and honest fashion. She worked tirelessly for both parties which included frequent evening run arounds to deliver documents, plans, deposits, etc. She is also highly knowledgeable on the real estate climate in Newport/CDM and can speak to all the pros and cons of each neighborhood. Bottom line she gets it done, successfully.

Michelle was amazing during our entire process.  We were contingent buyers so we had to sell our condo very quickly in order to purchase the home we wanted.  In addition, we were working with a very difficult seller.  Michelle made the process seamless and is so easy to work with.  She is able to meet you any day of the week and work late into the evenings to get the sale done.  I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase and/or sell their home.

Michelle was incredibly professional and patient during my home buying experience, with a polished "bed-side" manner that comes very naturally to her. We must have toured 20 homes together, and after each of the 19 I turned down, Michelle had the same big smile on her face as we went back to the drawing board.  She took my home search very personal to her, and her dedication only amplified as my search dragged on. After Michelle found my dream home, her closing execution was flawless.  She anticipated next steps every time and took initiative to prepare me for what to expect. In my experience, realtors can tend to lose focus once the deposit goes up.  Not the case with Michelle, who was available 24 hours a day for whatever silly question / freak out I had. I would recommend Michelle to ANYONE.

We brought Michelle on as our agent after we had been looking ourselves for a while, and boy do we wish we brought her on earlier.  Michelle has an ability to filter out houses and find just the right one that fits your needs in a way that saves you so much time and energy. She is kind, patient, informative, and professional at all times and truly makes you feel assured during what can be a stressful process.  Michelle also knows when, and when not to, involve you in certain issues, which is a skill that not all realtors have (which can cause unnecessary stress!).  She is efficient and timely, and always sticks to her promises and timeline.  She earns every ounce of your trust and makes the process as smooth as possible. We are so, so glad we chose her as our agent and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Michelle helped us to buy our dream house, a home that we have wanted for over 21 years.  We needed a very tenacious professional broker and Michelle was more than up to the task.  She gave us 24/7 service throughout the process. Nothing was impossible for her to do.  We are now using her expertise to sell our current home.  She is very friendly and a lot of fun too.

Michelle is an absolutely amazing realtor!  Her knowledge of the market, expert advice, and professionalism in all aspects make her the best!  She represented me on the buyer side, but the seller and their realtor loved their experience in working with her as well.  She's incredibly responsive, honest and smart.  Her guidance in selecting a home was unparalleled - and I now have my dream home thanks to all her hard work, long hours, and time in showing me house upon house until we found the one!

I cant tell you how much I enjoyed working with Michelle Linovitz! My husband and I were first time home buyers and it started out as such a daunting experience and once we found Michelle we knew we were in good hands and couldn't have gotten through it with out her help! Her knowledge and trustworthy expertise were nothing short of amazing! She was so diligent and thorough with every aspect throughout the entire process, explaining every detail, getting us all the stats we needed to put our minds at ease, fantastic personality, outstanding negotiating skills,  etc.... the list goes on and on. It was bitter sweet once she found us the perfect starter home because even though we love our home, it meant we wouldn't get to talk to her on the daily, her company is the best!  We are so thankful to have been able to work with her and will use her time and time again for the years to come!

Michelle rocks! My wife and I met her at an open house, and she became our agent. She found us an amazing home in Costa Mesa, and got it at a nice discount relative to asking. My wife and I are first time home buyers so our learning curve was steep. Michelle was patient, and very helpful with recommendations, suggestions, and overall knowledge. She also had great design suggestions. She and my wife hit it off in that department. Lastly, she is a nice, fun person to be around as you go from house to house. You should definitely work with Michelle if you are looking for house in Orange County.

I could not be more pleased by the services provided by Michelle. She is personable, knowledgeable of the market, and an effective negotiator. My husband and I were impressed by her level of professionalism and ability to get deals done. She is a true standout in a saturated industry; one that I will continue to use myself and refer again and again.

Michelle was instrumental in my home search when I moved to Orange County.  I have a very busy schedule and Michelle's expertise on the local inventory and the effort she put specifically into my search made it so much easier on me.  Well done Michelle and thanks again for your excellent service!

Michelle helped me find a place in Corona Del Mar and I couldn't recommend her more. She grew up and lives in the area now, so I felt like I was in good hands. The real estate process can be intimidating but Michelle was so easy to work with and made it the best experience!

Michelle is a solid agent, that is very competent, and thorough. She is a pleasure to work with, and is very knowledgeable of the area. Michelle was always willing to go the extra mile to make my experience more pleasurable, and easy as possible. I wouldn't consider anybody else for my future real estate needs.

Michelle is an amazing realtor!! She helped me buy my first home, and it was the greatest experience. She was so helpful and knowledgeable, quick and easy to get a hold of, and always available to meet up and look at houses. After telling her what I wanted, she quickly prepared and e-mailed me a list of homes that fit my criteria. I reviewed what she sent over and she was spot on!! She helped me negotiate a sales price, was able to explain terms and give advice on the things I was not sure on (being first time home buyer), and made it such a fast and simple transaction. I never felt pressured or pushed to find something... but she was always there when I had questions!!! I'd recommend her to ANYONE buying a house in the Newport Beach area. She really knows her stuff!

Michelle helped me find a property in CDM and I was so impressed with her. She is so professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable about the area and has a great attitude.  In the future I will definitely use Michelle again!

I am an extremely picky person in general let alone when it comes to finding the perfect home.  Thankfully Michelle understood me and my high standards.  She made the daunting process seem almost easy.  Not only did she help my husband and I find our dream home, but she did so with a smile and a positive attitude.  And leaving a lovely bottle of champagne and monogrammed champagne flutes as a housewarming gift was quite the personal touch!  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My experience with Michelle as an agent was positive and productive. Michelle rolled into action as soon as I asked her to find a tenant for my home. She was extremely efficient, thorough, and prompt with the paperwork and the clients. I was extremely satisfied with the lease agreement as well as the caliber of tenants. Michelle will get a call from me when I decide to sell my home.
