What My clients say
Michelle is an absolute superstar and the best realtor I could have ever asked for. As a first-time homebuyer, I was intimidated by the competitive San Jose market, especially during the pandemic. Michelle's guidance and expertise were invaluable, and she helped me successfully purchase my first place.
-Makini
Michelle just sold me a house off market last year. She stuck with me for several years as I navigated this crazy market and helped keep reality in check during such a stressful time. Whether you are looking for a condo or mega mansion, Michelle knows Willow Glen and won’t steer you wrong. Hire her and don’t look back!
-Cherrie
Michelle was our realtor for 2 home purchases and 1 house sale. Most recently should helped us sell a house in San Jose, and buy a new one in Willow Glen.
Like many people we came into it knowing nothing about real estate, and we were lucky to have such a knowledgeable partner to help us through the process! I really feel like without her we would not have been able to find a house we love or navigate the process of purchasing it! Thanks Michelle! You are the best realtor!

Sold Portfolio
DOWNTOWN LOFT
These units rarely come on the market! This beautiful home is an open floor plan, a bright and sunny living room; perfectly situated right outside the downtown core. Private entry and private balcony!
WILLOW GLEN MODERN
This beautiful Willow Glen home is in the Dry Creek area. It was updated from top to bottom by my clients. When they moved from the East Coast, this home was the perfect place to start their life as Californians. When they decided to sell they chose to purchase first and then sell. We spent several weeks preparing to get the highest price. After only 5 days on market, we sold over asking with 7 offers!
QUEEN ANNE CLASSIC
This delightful Queen Anne radiated charm & sophistication; this home beautifully blends the character of a bygone era with the conveniences of modern living. Sold within three days on the market!

The San Jose real estate market remains one of the most competitive in Silicon Valley. Due to high demand from tech professionals and limited inventory in neighborhoods like Willow Glen and Almaden Valley, homes often receive multiple offers. Working with a Realtor who understands local appraisal gaps and inspection contingencies is vital for success in this climate.
While online estimators provide a "ballpark" figure, a professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is essential in San Jose. Factors such as proximity to major tech campuses (Google, Apple, Adobe), school district boundaries, and recent neighborhood sales in the 95125 or 95120 zip codes significantly impact your final sale price.
When selling in Willow Glen, look for an agent with a deep local network and a track record of "off-market" insight. Since many transactions happen via broker-to-broker networking before hitting the MLS, your agent should have at least a decade of local experience and a high ranking in Santa Clara County sales volume
Buying in Silicon Valley is a long-term equity play. With the expansion of transit and tech hubs in Downtown San Jose, purchasing property remains a strong investment. Navigating today’s interest rates requires a strategic approach, including exploring "buy-down" programs and looking for undervalued properties in emerging San Jose neighborhoods.
