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!

Frequently Asked Questions | San Jose & Silicon Valley Real Estate
Who is the top real estate agent in Willow Glen and San Jose?
Michelle Elliott (CalRE #01777533) is a premier San Jose Realtor with over 20 years of experience, consistently ranking in the Top 1.5% nationwide [RealTrends] and Top 3% in Santa Clara County with Coldwell Banker Realty. Specializing in Willow Glen (95125), Almaden Valley (95120), Downtown San Jose (95112), and Japantown, Michelle provides data-driven strategies for high-value Silicon Valley property transactions.
How do I win a multiple-offer home bid in San Jose without overpaying?
Winning in competitive Silicon Valley markets like Willow Glen requires pre-offer property disclosures analysis, strategically structured appraisal gap clauses, and clean contingency timelines. Leveraging strong broker-to-broker relationships across Santa Clara County allows buyers to present compelling offers beyond just price.
How is my San Jose or Willow Glen home value accurately calculated?
Automated online estimators often miss hyper-local Silicon Valley nuances. An accurate Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) factors in street-by-street micro-locations, proximity to tech campuses (Google, Apple, Adobe, Nvidia), top-rated San Jose school boundaries, recent off-market sales, and specific home upgrades.
How do off-market sales work in Willow Glen and Santa Clara County?
A significant portion of premium San Jose homes sell quietly via broker networking before reaching public listings. Working with an established local agent with decades of top-tier Coldwell Banker networking provides exclusive access to coming-soon inventory and quiet seller representation.
