"Michelle was beyond devoted to all of my inquiries and family needs. She is well aware of information on towns and was attentive to search and find all the important information I needed to select the town to move into. She provided ongoing support and attention. She went above to make herself available and mitigate bumps that anyone would encounter when searching for their perfect home and school community. She was an advocate and advised appropriately on matters beyond my control to ensure I was legally abided by and protected. She was available through her phone and always made sure she responded to any and all of my inquiries. I have no qualms that Michelle will support your process. She even gifted me a house warming present and followed up consistently after we moved in. She shared a list of local amenities, personalized. I will use conduct business with Michelle again. SHE IS EXCELLENT. That is a given! " -8/19/2023 - Kay G12

She helped us through a difficult negotiation and kept us calm…… thanks Michele…! :) "4/5/2023 - Rebecca Lenti

"Michele Kowal is the complete package! She made a stressful situation less stressful for my husband and I . She was there every step of the way, guiding us and walking us through, pretty much holding our hand when we needed it. Michele was always available for questions and provided the best referrals for a home inspector as well as our Lender. Michele is knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. I can honestly say that we have come away from this experience better off just from knowing her and knowing she had our back. Not only can we call Michele our Realtor but, also our friend."6/4/2022 - october1302

"Working with Michele was an absolute dream. Professionally she was extremely knowledgeable, patient and always had our best interest at heart. Personally she is very genuine and makes the whole buying process enjoyable. The first time we saw the house we ended up buying, Michele spent an hour walking us through. While under contract whenever we wanted to visit the house she was always available and spent time with us, never rushing. It was truly like working with family having Michele as our realtor and I would consider anyone lucky to work with and meet her! A lot of realtors are just about the sale but Michele is focused on finding you your dream home!"3/9/2022 - jjweber82

"The word lucky is what I would use to describe my first home buying experience with Michelle. Being a Young adult and looking for our first home which was a multi-family house, my partner and I had several doubts and Michelle answered every single question I had since day one. We searched endlessly trying to find approachable houses on the crazy market. We’d receive multiple emails a day with several houses to review that met the major criteria we spoke to her about. We fell in love countless times with several houses, and in the difficult times when our pursuit was outmatched or unable to be met, Michelle was there with great support and never faltering confidence that the right house was out there. Through the difficult circumstances, she helped us find an amazing house and navigate a path towards a successful closing. After we became house owners, we were ready to rent the house to get some income. Michelle made everything so easy for us, she took care of everything single thing and made sure to find us a great tenant. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her, and would highly recommend with our eyes closed. She’s the best realtor hands down, she goes above and beyond!!!" -Jose and Yisleidy

"Michele was absolutely wonderful to work with and we highly recommend her! She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us. She took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for. I think we looked at over 20 houses before we found our dream home. Michele knows the area and can help answer any questions. She took the time to show us comps and give us a better understanding of where the market is and made sure we gave the best offer. As first-time home buyers, Michele was a dream to work with. She wasn't overpowering as some agents can be and was incredibly personable. You would be lucky to have her as your agent, she will go above and beyond for you, go to bat for you, and truly take care of you as her client." -Flora Zaretskaya, Franklin Lakes
