Recommendations
I worked with Michelle to sell an investment property located in Statesville, NC. Michelle did an excellent job in representing the property. She was pro-active, demonstrated she was up to speed on current market conditions, and was exceptional in looking
out for my interests during the post-contract through closing process. Will definitely reach out to Michelle again if I have a property to sell in her market area and will recommend her to anyone who has a property to sell.
I knew when I first met Michelle Selvey that she was the right broker for me. I had to sell my mom’s house because she had passed away and Michelle approached our first meeting (which she did via FaceTime because I was in a different state) with compassion
and professionalism. Michelle knows the local market and that fact alone was important. While other brokers in the area market their experience mostly with Lake Norman properties, Michelle has the added benefit of being from and living in the Troutman area.
Early on she and Rebekah held an open house and had a steady stream of interested buyers which resulted in several superb offers. Since I am not familiar with North Carolina real estate transactions, Michelle and Rebekah kept me informed throughout the process
and helped to negotiate a situation in which the first offer buyer backed out unexpectedly. Michelle and Rebekah helped me with the company that handled the estate sale and made it all run smoothly. I highly recommend Michelle Selvey if you want a true professional
who will treat you like their only client with respect and integrity.
Michelle Selvey instantly became our anchor in a community brand new to us. She watched our backs every step of the way and helped us feel secure about the process of building a house. Her personal touch and clear communication inspired confidence.
Hands down best realtor I have ever worked with. Michelle held our hand every step of the way. If you are looking for someone who will stay on top of all the required documents, return phone calls, show up for every appointment , and check in to let you
know the progress ….. you should choose Michelle. She is friendly, knowledgeable , and a great communicator.
Exceptional Service: A Master of Her Craft
Michelle was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and deeply passionate throughout the purchase of our home. Her expertise far outweighed the **competition**.
The follow-up, tenacity, and intensity she displayed in making our move a "home and not a hurdle" could not be matched by any other realtor we have used in this or previous moves. Michelle is truly a master of her craft, while simultaneously being incredibly patient and personable.
**If you want a realtor who treats your home purchase with the dedication it deserves, I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough.**

be my realtor.
