Michelle Gehring – Keller Williams

Michelle was incredible!!! We first worked with her over a year ago when we started looking at houses but then decided it wasn’t quite the right time for us… Fast forward a year. Now we decided we were ready and we immediately thought of Michelle! She was so knowledgeable, calm, and easy to work with! We made an offer on a home that wasn’t accepted and she helped us move forward and find our next home! She walked us through every step and even made suggestions when it came to the inspection process which saved us thousands of dollars! We will never use anyone else and recommend everyone we know to her! Thank you Michelle!!!

We are a 1^st time home buyer and new to the area coming from overseas. Our first realtor experience was unfavorable so my wife turned to Unilocal to find a new realtor. Michelle’s profile had positive reviews so we decided to try her out.
Michelle was great to work with. In our 1^st meeting she really listened to our needs and was quick to identify what we were looking for. With the current housing market moving so quickly with multiple offers Michelle was never pushy. Her process, negotiating skills and patience allowed us to make sound choices in our offer. She is very knowledgeable with home conditions and pointed out issues we would have missed on our own. Michelle has great negotiation skills that allowed us to close within 30 days.
We are completely satisfied with our new home and glad to have worked with Michelle. We highly recommend her for anyone looking for a new home.

Michelle is the BEST!!!
I first met her when my cousin and her husband were looking for a house and I tagged along for their home tours. I was impressed at how patient, flexible, easy going, and knowledgeable Michelle was working with them. With Michelle’s help they were able to get a GORGEOUS house for less than the list-​price with contingencies negotiated into the deal.
I mentioned to Michelle how someday my husband and I wanted to buy a home of our own and she seemed truly excited for me, but never pushy.
After my cousin and her husband moved into their home Michelle kept in touch and even asked about me a few times, which I thought was impressive considering how many clients she has to juggle on a daily basis.
Finally when it was my husband and my time to experience the home-​buying process for the first time, I called Michelle and she was ready to meet with my husband and I to walk us through the whole process. Because my husband and I are newbies to the home-​ownership game, we had a TON of questions, and she answered them in stride, giving such great insight! I was impressed. I never once felt like she dismissed my questions or was annoyed at all. She also introduced us to a loan broker that she has worked with over the years, and even used to finance her own home.
After my husband and I were preapproved Michelle met with us multiple times and gave GREAT insights into the houses we were touring. She also gave the con’s of certain houses, which I really appreciated, because she wasn’t focused solely on selling houses, but on making sure my husband and I could find the very best house that would fit our needs.
After a few viewings, we put down an offer on a fantastic house that Michelle found back on the market THAT VERY DAY. It turned into a kind of bidding war because the house was so great, but even though we had to make quick decisions, Michelle was never pushy or overbearing. She gave great advice on how to come up with our best offers without feeling regret for losing the house because we offered too little, or having buyer’s remorse feeling like we overpaid. In the end we lost the first house, but Michelle was ready to show us more houses the same day we got the news that we were outbid.
By the time Michelle and I toured the second house we put an offer down on, my husband was out of town. Michelle face-​timed with my husband (because I don’t have an iPhone) and took multiple videos of the walk-​through to send to him even though her phone was dying and she was out of memory! Ultimately I decided to put down an offer that night even though my husband hadn’t actually seen the house. I felt really good about the decision because Michelle was there for me playing devil’s advocate on the purchasing the home, to make sure it was the house my husband and I would love for years to come.
Michelle worked with our loan officer seamlessly, walked my husband and I through the whole inspection and negotiation process, and we were able to purchase the first home for a GREAT price AND got all their fancy new appliances!!!
On the day of the signing Michelle came with a HUGE basket of DELICIOUS GOODIES to congratulate us on our first home, and to snack on as we unpacked in our new home.
Even though there were a few emotional highs and lows, I thought our whole home-​buying process was EASY PEASY and I LOVE MY NEW HOME!!!
I plan on staying put for a while, but if/​when my husband and I need to sell our home and buy a bigger one, we will definitely be calling Michelle! I’ve already referred her to a few of my other friends, and like me, they are so happy they met her! You will be too!

Michelle is awesome! We recently worked with her to sell our home in SE Portland and purchase a new home in SW Portland. Her knowledge of both areas was impressive, and she was able to sell our old home for more than we expected and, with her stellar negotiation skills, she got us a surprisingly good deal on our new home in a very competitive market. Both transactions involved challenges (through no fault of Michelle’s) and both transactions required very thoughtful messaging with the other parties involved. Michelle’s communication skills and responsiveness — both with us and with the other parties — were truly remarkable.
There are a lot of Realtors in the world, and Michelle is one of the best. We’re very lucky we found her and we’d recommend her without hesitation!

The best real estate agent ever!
Michelle is the most personable, honest, professional and reliable agent I have ever met. She was 100% looking out for our interests and went above and beyond her duties to make sure my home purchase went as smooth as possible. She treated the purchase as if it were her own, from inspections to closing. It wasn’t about getting a deal for Michelle, it was about finding a solution for us.
Being from another country, dealing with all the confusing American bureaucracy, Michelle walked us through it step by step and went above and beyond to help. She helped us eat the elephant one bite at a time. She came to every meeting, reviewed every document to make sure it was what we wanted and needed. Michelle liaised with my lender, the title company, the HOA association, all inspectors and communicated with them throughout on my behalf.
I can’t recommend Michelle enough, if you want an honest, reliable agent that will give you personable service then Michelle is your best. She even answered emails and texts on her bachelorette weekend!
Thanks Michelle, you made our home purchase safe, secure and stress free! Guaranteed our next purchase will be through you and I’ll be recommending you to anyone that will listen!
Cheers!

Michelle is amazing! What else can I say? She is so passionate about finding you the right home and is fun to work with to boot! She is a great asset to have in your corner when you are looking for a home. I felt totally taken care and she goes above and beyond in all details of buying a home. I highly recommend her if you are looking to buy your next home. I have no doubt you will have an amazing experience!

Wow — this girl rocks! Not only is she super knowledgeable about the market, very good at explaining all details involved with the transaction and always upbeat and positive, the best thing about working with Michelle is she treats the transaction as if it’s for her family and goes the extra mile!
I can’t recommend her enough and Unilocal doesn’t offer the amount of stars she deserves. If you’re looking for the kindest, hardest working, and one of the all around best Realtors in the area, look no further than Michelle. She definitely earns my referrals and repeat business!

We loved working with Michelle! She was quick to respond and find ways to make sure we were taken care of promptly right from the start. She did a great job of explaining the process and also the local data on the housing situation here which was new to us being we were coming from California. She also negotiated quite well and we got the home for well under what we had expected!
Overall we just loved her, she was such a pleasure to work with, we always look forward to seeing her and we plan to work with her when we sell or go on the hunt again.
Michelle still checks in on us from time to time to see how we like the home and really I think just to say hello too. She’s become like a friend to us and it always cheers us up to see her, she’s just a fun smart person and you can’t help enjoy being around her :)
