Sierra Smith

A big thank you is due for this amazing woman! Our family recently purchased our first home and it is a dream come true! For over a decade I have wanted to buy a home from Michelle. I have watched from the sidelines as she works tirelessly for her clients and finding families the perfect home. She is passionate about it and now that I can speak from experience she is an absolute entire team of people in one woman. She made sure appointments were made and communication happened. She made sure I stayed informed and comfortable during the whole somewhat scary first time home buying experience. She was always available for me to talk to and extremely knowledgeable in the industry. I never had a question she couldn’t answer or problem she couldn’t help me solve. My family and I have been smiling so much our cheeks hurt and still can’t believe how perfect the home she found for us is. We owe Michelle the biggest thank you and will never use anyone else. Thank you so much Michelle for helping make our dreams come true! You are amazing.

We have known Michelle Girard for over 8 years. It took us that long to sell our ranch in Idaho. During that time Michelle gave us continuing updates about the real estate market in Poulsbo and the surrounding area. When we were ready to buy she pitched in full time to find the right place for us. After the offer was accepted on our new home Michelle made sure that the deal went through and closing was effortless. You can't go wrong with Michelle on your side.

Janine Ramirez Lacy

Michelle did a great job for me. It was not an easy task as I was out of the country for over 90 percent of the time and even the negotiations were done long distance. So almost all communication was by email to keep me in the loop for everything going on. She stayed on top of the transaction the whole time

Beulah Kingsolver

Michelle was fantastic. She helped with all the many small details that come with buying a home. Michelle answered and responded to all my questions in a quick manner. She was great to work with.

Eugene Rhodes

When I knew I was returning to Washington, my first thought was to contact Michelle again for our real estate needs. I have now bought 2 houses and sold 1 with Michelle. She's GREAT!

Noemi McInnes

Michelle is an outstanding real estate professional. We highly recommend her services. We are a couple from Southern California anticipating a relocation to Washington State for a job transfer. We contacted Michelle in mid-March to look at homes in the Bainbridge Island, Poulsbo, and Port Ludlow areas. She was very efficient in organizing our search down to advising us about ferry schedules based on our planes' arrival and departure. Within a three day span we were able to see over 25 homes in our target areas. Michelle obviously has had a lot of experience with out-of-towners like us. She was sensitive to our housing preferences and, in a low keyed manner, was able to point out potential issues about a property we may have missed. This is why we trust Michelle and would call upon her again when the job transfer comes through

Nick Strand

Michelle found us our dream home! We couldn't be more blessed and thankful for her work! She helped us through the many homes around in our area, and somehow caught the one we currently call home! Highly recommended to use her to help find yourself what you are looking for! Above and beyond!

Linda Grable

I have bought and sold homes before and have never experienced the level of knowledge, instinct, and advice that I did with Michelle. She kept me focused on my house goal instead of getting focused on one aspect of a house. She took time to really listen to my needs in and hopes for my home and tookcare that the houses she should me met those needs and hopes. She gave me expert advice to protect me from making a potential mistake with the seller's agent. I highly recommend her to any age client.

Jill Murch

Michelle was a great help we were looking for a second home that will turn into our retirement home in 5 years. It was a 2 hour drive for us so she always had many homes to look at and always worked around our schedules. Michelle Thank You for helping us find our Dream Home. Ralph & Jill

Ashley Campbell

I loved working with Michelle. She is a family friend, and its great getting to work with someone you know and trust.

Dan Verrall

Michelle did a fantastic job of selling my home. She was very professional and courteous. The home closed very quickly and easily with little to no work on my end. I'd definitely recommend Michelle to anybody buying or selling a home.

Ronald Kirkland

Moved 3000 miles needed a person of Michel's knowledge of the equestrian community and special properties. She was great.

Carol Hernandez

Michelle's service was above excellent! She readily accomodated our weird schedules and assisted us when things got screwed up with the title company. My partner had open heart surgery and she worked very hard to ensure that we did not have to take the VERY long drive to Lacey, WA. in order to sign the closing papers. She arranged for us to sign the papers in Port Townsend where we were having to go anyway to pick up several prescriptions. She even came over to check up on how my partner was doing...something she did not have to do and was not directly connected with the closing. When selling the house in Lacey she chatted with neighbors to learn about the community sales and did a lot of informal marketing in addition to the regular, standarad agent activity. When a situation arose with the potential buyers, she graciously interceded and let our wishes be known in a manner that did not negatively impact the sale or price. Michelle was our agent when we bought our current home and she was great then also. She patiently worked with us over the course of several years as my partner lived here in WA., but I was living in Ohio and could only get out here periodically. She readily made time to show us houses whenever I could get out to the West Coast. That was why we wanted her as our agent when we sold the house in Lacey. We will definitely ask her to be our agent when/if we sell the house we currently live in and will recommend her to neighbors and friends needing a real estate agent. We cannot say enough good things about Michelle in terms of her professionalism, attentiveness, humor, friendliness and all around knowledge and exceptional service!!!

Raymond Carpenter

We would like to thank you Michelle! Everyone, she is the real deal. The Realtor that will go to bat for you. We contacted Michelle with our wants and needs in looking for our new home.

I live in California and needed to sell my mothers home after her passing. Michelle made this difficult time for me go easy and smooth she took care of every detaiI. I would like to return to the area in the future and we will use Michelle as our agent.

If it wasn't for Michelle's hard work and support we wouldn't have been able to purchase our dream home. Alway very friendly and professional!

Sharon Lockwoood

Michelle sold our home in approximately 1 month. She is truly the best realtor we have ever known in my life; having sold and purchased several homes in the last 20 years. We would use her again and have gone to her for referrals for out of state realtors. we would recommend Michelle to everyone with a real estate need, as she is truly the most honest, professional business woman we have ever met.

Sharon Rose

We are absolutely delighted with Michelle. She is someone whom we would recommend with no reservations whatsoever. We were first time home buyers and throughout the entire process Michelle did not once show us anything but a warm and professional attitude. A genuine jewel! We bounced back and forth between wanting to buy property and build on it or buy a ready to move in home and Michelle was supportive and understanding about every change we made. Outstanding!

Olivia Hasemann

Great knowledge of the community and industrious in negotiating the purchase of the house. Many thanks.

Bunny McGuigan

Michelle is awesome. I've worked with Michelle for years and now I'm asking her to help my grandson to purchase his first home. She always returns my calls and answers all my concerns. Couldn't ask for a more honest realtor. Michelle thank you sooo much for your help.

Paul Kotz

She took care of all the details involved in getting the property in my name.

James Oas

Michelle Girard was so professional from start to finish. She knows all of the little tricks to help a home sell. She communicates well with her client and she is very adept at knowing her market and how to advertise a home and property.

Sheila Peterson

Michelle was very responsive to our phone calls, questions, needs, and the problems that came up in the course of business. We felt she had a thorough knowlege of the area and didn't hesitate to take us anywhere we inquired about and often several times to the same place. She also understood waterfront properties, which we were interested in. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. She was wonderful.

Rene Rosimo

We are always pleased with the way she handled and process our deals. This is the third time we bought property, and as always, she does excellent service with all these three. And it's always done even before we expected.

Philip Colcord

Michelle went out of her way to provide us with excellent service.

Craig Sprecher

As an out of state buyer, I appreciate Michelle Girard going way beyond normal duties and helping me complete a successful purchase of a great property. Her hard work and due dilligence made it all possible. She was always available and her knowledge and hard work made it a great experience!

Christine Tibbitts

Michelle worked with me for at least two years, patiently waiting until I was in a position to actually buy. She knew my needs and kept them in mind when considering options for me. She was extremely helpful and informative, and I always felt I could trust her completely. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Joe & Diane Suligoy

We found Michelle to be very thorough and competent in every way. We are moving here from out of town and she was especially helpful in handling many details in our absence.

Michelle was wonderful!!! She was so helpful and made the process so easy!!! All our questions and concerns were addressed right away. My husband and I highly recommend Michelle to all our firends, family, and anyone else who is in the market to buy a home! Thank you zip realty and Michelle for all your help!

Maryjoe Suligoy

Not only was Michelle great at helping us select properties to view and eventually shepherding us through the purchasing process, she also went above and beyond by helping us with all the details. Being out-of-town buyers, we really appreciated Michelle's willingness to help with all the little things that might not have been an issue had we been local.

Anders Ejde

Thank you so much!

Tim Vandehey

Michelle obviously cared for us as we tried to negotiate for our dream home from 1200 miles away. She was full of great ideas for making the transaction happen, and although we didn't end up needing to draw on them, it was great to know she had tricks up her sleeve. We would not have been able to buy this incredible home without her help.

Craig Sprecher

I was glad to have Michelle Girard working for me. I was able to smoothly complete my purchase from out of state with no hassles. Michelle found out what I was looking for and sent me potential properties for a long time until just the right one came along. She got my offer in and accepted before anyone else. She kept me in the loop and informed me of all the issues and requirements so I was able to respond in a timely manner. The purchase went really well and I am glad I had Michelle Girard and Zip Reality in my corner. Thanks, Craig Sprecher

Margot Connole

Michelle Girard was knowledgeable, responsive and a joy to work with. She made it possible for me to by a house when I lived out of state. Her extensive preparation for my trip out to see houses and follow up allowed me to buy a house with minimal work. Between her personal efforts and the website tools (appraisal values,) I was able to quickly identify the best value homes and negotiate a great deal. I could not have done it from out of state otherwise. I closed on the house a week after I moved here. Michelle is fantastic! I should know; this is my fourth home purchase in thirty years.

Eugene Rhodes

I specifically went back to Michelle to sell my house after she helped us buy it. She is a professional who knows the market and anticipates the needs of her clients. I will recommend everybody I know who relocates to WA to contact Michelle.
