Client Testimonials
“Michelle is an excellent proactive realtor, she engages with her clients completely and is always available. When she met us and learned that we would be moving to a new state she immediately thought ahead to all the resources she would be able to provide us with. Over a two day weekend visit to California, prior to moving, she created a plan outlining all of our properties of interest and an itinerary to visit each one, and she was flexible in adding or removing a property based on what we learned as the day went on. We enjoyed working with Michelle and even though we had a couple of other agents offer to work with us, we stayed with Michelle as she is someone who truly cares for her clients. We had a couple of hiccups during the mortgage process and Michelle was right there to support us as we worked to find a solution. She is truly an asset as a realtor, and I recommend her fully!” K. Sidhu

"After living in my house for thirty-years, letting go could only have become a reality with the attentive professionalism and advice given by Michelle Ocheltree. Truly a wonderful Agent and person!" B. Lamay
“Michelle helped us sell our mother's house. Her suggestions for getting the house sale-ready were spot on, and the end result was spectacular. She was patient, so friendly, extremely responsive, and was on top of all the little details all of the time. Since we lived out of town, Michelle took it upon herself to take care of things the homeowner would normally be expected to take care of. She was extremely easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her, and would retain her in a second if I had another house to sell in Napa!”
M. Padrnos
