Michele helped my husband and I try to find our first home in the middle of a pandemic and a very competitive market. Based on her advice, an offer on what we thought was our dream house was accepted. With some unexpected job changes, we unfortunately were not able to move forward with the sale but our experience from start to finish was exceptional. She was extremely flexible and virtually always available. Would absolutely recommend.

My wife and I have worked with Michele for almost 6 years now. We were looking for something very specific in our new home and she was gracious enough to show us close to 25 houses in that time before we found exactly what we were looking for. Each time it was a pleasure to see Michele and receive her input regarding the area's real estate market. We recommend Michele and Local Market Realty to all of our friends who are looking for a new home in the Triangle!

My wife and I were selling my parents home while living on the opposite side of the country and honestly could not have done it without Micheles superb guidance and oversight. From our very first meeting, she was very clear in what we needed to do to prepare the house and took on overseeing the preparations herself. She understood the market and had an accurate understanding of the value of the house. Throughout the process she was responsive and on top of all communications, sometime returning e-mails at midnight her time! We couldnt have asked for a better experience from a realtor and
