I’ve always had good experiences with Coldwell Banker in the Simpsonville/Easley area and relocating to the Ocean Isle Beach area was no different! MIchelle is knowledgeable about the area and showed us several homes in our price range and the style we prefer. The home we purchased is amazing and we love it here!

Michele was wonderful. She kept us up to date with everything we needed to do. She was there for us when we had questions and anticipated other questions. You can tell that she’s been doing this masterfully for many years. Michele sold our house in Shallotte, NC back in 2018 and again did a great job. Would recommend her and her agency every time I’m asked.

This is the second time we have worked with Michele, and I highly recommend her. We live in New York State and worked with her long distance both when we bought and later sold our condo. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Doing real estate transactions long distance can be complicated and stressful, Michele guided us expertly through the process and always followed up promptly to our many inquiries.

Neal and I had a great experience with Michele Johnston as our Realtor!! She made sure all measurements were correct. The write up on our property included everything. Michele was always available if it was day or evening--we could always call her with a question. She went to lawyer's office with us and also took care of the final closing . Michele gave us information about closing out utility accounts. Michele was pleasant and very helpful in every way!!

Michele helped us with buying our first home 4 years ago and went above and beyond my expectations throughout the whole process. We then decided to upgrade to a bigger home and knew right away we were calling Michele. This time it was a much longer and harder process and again Michele went above and beyond to make everything work out. From taking after hour and weekend phone calls, and fighting for us every step of the way until the very end. She has come to know our family on a personal level and we consider her a lifelong friend.

Michele was very accommodating with all our requests. In a very crazy market she was very frank and honest. Since we live a few hours away and we’re not always available to look at properties she would go to the property and call me to go over the pluses and minuses. I can’t speak for everyone at Coldwell but Michele treated us with care and professionalism.

Michele has been in touch with us during the entire process of selling our home. Providing up to date information on all showing and passing on potential buyer questions. She continually checked on the house ensuring that it was secure after showings and turning off lights that were left on by others. Michele is a top-notch real estate agent, and we highly recommend her to our friends and neighbors who plan on listing their homes for sale. Thanks to Michele we had a very seamless experience selling our home.

Michele Johnston was an excellent agent. She did her research and she showed up whenever and wherever we needed. She was responsive to emails, texts and voice mails. She also wasn't afraid to address some issues that made buying a home in NC a challenge, versus buying a home in Ohio. In addition, Michele found us an excellent agent to sell our current home. We would highly recommend Michele!

Michele went above and beyond to help us with our real estate transaction. She was never pushy and was always responsive to any questions we had. Our closing turned out to be a very chaotic experience because of some last minute changes and she was there for us every step of the way. Even meeting the Spectrum technician at the property because our closing ran late! I don't know how we would have managed without her. :)
