Michell was incredibly insightful, realistic and straight forward as needed. Very knowledgeable in all areas of the Bay Area, including deeper areas of the North, South and East Bay. Her price points are incredibly accurate for rental and purchase. Very accommodating with regards to schedule flexibility especially during COVID times she arranged appointments and was available most times. Her wide ranging knowledge in cost, market trends and ability to manage expectations was crucial to us purchasing a home. She also has a lot of connections within the banking and loan industry which allowed us to secure funding for down payment, get pre-approved to make an offer and also to receive a mortgage loan after purchase at the best rates and incredibly fast. It was a full service! Her background as attorney was very insightful as we also received advice with regards to risk. Later, we used Michell to help us rent our house, preparing disclosures with us and establish the appropriate price point there as well!! As a result of preparing for making an offer with Michell (looking at trend data, comps, surveying homes and all of the banking and loan preparations); we were able to zero in on a price point, a neighborhood and the first home we submitted an offer on, was accepted! We then closed and moved in within 2 weeks during the most aggressive and competitive market in history! We couldn't believe it! She wears many hats and wears them well. We are so fortunate to have met Michell. read more

Michell and her business partner Dan are simply amazing. They have helped us find the perfect home. Becuase of their expert knowledge of the Bay Area real estate market we were not only able to find a place that feels like home, but also buy it an affordable price. In addition to her professional acumen, Michell took the time to understand our particular situation and was able to suggest homes that were a good fit. As well as being empathetic, Michele also provided no nonsense advice when we needed it. Michelle fought hard for our interests and was able to get us an amazing price by expertly negotiating the offer. Michele has assembled a team of impressive people that worked as a single powerhouse when it came time to close the transaction. She recommended a loan officer and escrow agent that were able to close our transaction in 10 days! We couldn't have asked for a better partner in finding our home and we hope that we will get an opportunity to work with Michell and her business partner Dan again. read more

Michell was immensely helpful in getting my place sold for significantly more than I thought I could get! She is extremely knowledgeable and well resourced. She connected me with an appropriate stager, cleaner, repair person, and she did all the leg work of getting all the needed documents ready. She was available when needed to walk me through things and to soothe my anxiety. She worked with me on my schedule, including travel, and the sale couldn't have gone smoother. I highly recommend talking to Michell for you real estate needs. read more

Eventually I decided on a different property and was able to finalize the sale quickly and efficiently. If you are interested in having an honest agent who supports your best interests Michell Nunez is the way go. She works non-stop for her clients to negotiate the best deal and outcomes.

Michell helped my Dad sell a 10 unit apartment in Alameda which was owned by him and his 3 sisters. Michell did a wonderful job communicating to each family member AND their husband. She answered all their questions quickly and honestly. My Dad ended up doing a 1031 exchange and bought a cabin in Lake Tahoe area. Michell drove to Tahoe showing us homes within his budget. He ended up buying a cabin in Tahoe Vista. The process was smooth. I would use her again if I decide to sell/buy any property. Her knowledge and expertise helped us get a great deal. I have purchased 4 properties in Oakland with Michell as my agent. Michell's knowledge of Oakland Rent control assisted me in making decisions on which properties to bid on. She always exceed my expectations. I trust her with my investment dollars. She will get you the right home at a great price. I added a few picture of property I purchased thru Michell. read more

Where can I even begin with this review? When I met Michell I could tell immediately that she was a very principled person I could trust. My gut was 100% correct. A few weeks after closing on my first home, I've already spoken to her a number of times for advice! When she says she's always there for you, beginning, middle, end, and beyond...she means it! My home buying experience was so beyond what I expected. Prior to meeting Michell, I was with a realtor who was busy and entirely unavailable, which was stressful. I felt the home search was entirely on my shoulders and I had to educate myself, by myself, as I went along. I actually began wondering what the point of a realtor really was outside of opening lock boxes and collecting a fee at close. After finally dropping that realtor, I found Michell. Thank God! She educated me thoroughly, kept me in the loop, encouraged me, and fought hard for the right deal for me. With Michell's help, I was able to purchase a home I can grow into. She also provided a slew of information I'll be able to tap into moving forward. I've already referred everyone I know to her, now I'm referring you. Don't walk, RUN to Michell. She's a shrewd lawyer turned realtor (yes! She was a lawyer!), with a heart of gold. You won't do better. I'll be with Michell for all my future home purchases! Thank you so much Michell! read more

Michelle was incredible at helping me negotiate the market as the Coronovirus began. She was dedicated in her quick responses, her understanding of the changing market and diligent in her daily research. Michelle supported me through a difficult decision making time and helped see me and my family through to a successful sale! I can highly recommend Michelle as a realtor as well as great resource for all realtor related questions and concerns! read more

If you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and ethical realtor look no further. Having Michell navigate us through the purchase of our first home was the best decision we made. She fought for us throughout our whole journey and we were so lucky to have someone that could guide us through such an important decision. She was patient and always looked out for our best interest when it came to the consideration of a property. The amount of knowledge she has as a realtor is very impressive. If you are considering any type of property she will be the best you can get. read more

We were lucky enough to find Michell during the early stages of our hunt for a home in Oakland and she was simply amazing throughout the process. From the first phone call, she was an incredible resource, and so thorough and responsive to our all our needs and questions. Because of her background in law, she knows not only the market, but the ins and outs of the many legal issues pertaining to buying and selling real estate. She took time to really listen to what we wanted and were looking for, and we never felt pushed to a) buy something that didn't fit our needs; or b) go over our comfort range in terms of price. As well as being exceptionally competent in her field, Michell is also just a genuinely warm, caring person who wants the very best for her clients. We will be recommending her to anyone who needs a realtor and would work with her again in a heartbeat. read more

I personally have bought and sold five properties with Michell and she has been amazing to work with each time. She goes above and beyond what you would expect an agent to do each time. I was so impressed that I recommended her to all my friends and family and they love her too. I have so much confidence in her, that I even used her to purchase properties outside the bay area. She helped us with a short sale that took over six months to close. So many details, and we would not have succeeded without her help. My mom was so impressed with her work for me that she had Michell sell her house in Concord. Michell's pricing and marketing plan worked so well that my mom got the best price on the block before the first open house! read more

Michell helped us sell one of our rental units which was condo converted, tenant occupied, rent controlled, outdated, unattractive, etc, etc. You could imagine that she faced enormous challenges as the listing agent. But with her vision she navigated us through to deliver the unit turn-key. She led us to a closing which was a way better than we expected in terms of smoothness and the sales price we achieved. We were totally impressed with her knowledge of the local market, her business acumen, her spot-on design/remodeling advice and resources, and her negotiation skills, not to mention her legal background. Both my husband and I have real estate broker licenses, and have experience working with many local agents, but oh boy Michell surpassed our expectations. We wish we had found her earlier. We highly recommend her. read more

If you are looking for an amazing, bright, and not pushy real estate agent, then you must call Michell. My husband and I hired her to purchase two properties, and as usual we were extremely happy. She has a knack for negotiation and developing relationships with other agents which makes the transaction go smoother. Our very first purchased was a short sale which took 6 months to close. Michell was very patient with us, and advise on how to proceed to insure that the deal would closed. Thanks to Michell we have an amazing place we call home! We just love her! read more

Michell sold my condo in San Francisco and I cannot recommend her enough! She helped me price the property properly. She recommended listing the property at a price under what I believed the property to be valued at in order to get attention. The strategy worked and I was able to sell the property for more than I imagined. Michell was amazing in handling the disclosures and issues with the Home Owners Association. Her skills as an attorney proved to be invaluable in or situation. She is a terrific communicator and truly cares for her clients. read more

Michell Nuñez - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Oakland, California

After working with another realtor for almost a year, a close friend turn me on to Michell, who helped my friend find and purchase the right home. We fired our old realtor that Saturday morning and hired Michell over the phone whilst we were out and about looking at open houses. We were able to articulate what we were looking for in a home, and Michell met up with us later that afternoon with 3 recommendations in mind. Home #1 was good, #2 was better, but #3 was exactly what we were looking for, and we made an offer that week! Since then, I have purchased two homes with Michell (once in 2012-2013, which was a short sale that took 6 months to close; the other in 2014). She was attentive to our situation, and worked hard to ensure the success of our closing, and happiness with our purchase. If you are looking to buy (or sell) a home in the Bay Area, stop and give Michell a call! read more

Michell helped us to buy our home during the height of the market in 2017. She steered us in the right direction and helped us to narrow our search and bid competitively. She knows how to guide clients through contracts and she knows how to put solid offers together. She was able to navigate our purchase, which included a complex negotiation with the seller. Michell was the perfect person to put the deal together. She really knows the market and I felt she knew us as clients very quickly. She also connected us with our mortgage broker Jen Wilson at Caliber home loans, who is excellent. They make a great team. read more

I met Michell at a home for which she was the selling agent. I did not end up purchasing the house but I remembered her professional demeanor and informative approach. Later, when I decided to take my home search seriously I contacted her and asked her to be my agent for my first ever home purchase. Michell has exceeded all of my expectations - she helped me get a great deal on my first home when I was very ignorant of the whole process. I'd basically given up on finding a house that was within my price range and also what I wanted when she contacted me to tell me that she'd found something she thought I would like- and she was exactly right. We had to close quickly and Michell was able to organize multiple inspections with a good team. In addition, the inspections found more than was disclosed and Michell was able to negotiate the extra repair costs off the price. In addition, I was sad that the original owners were taking the fridge and Michell was able to get the fridge! I wholeheartedly recommend Michell- the one last thing I can think to add is that she never pressured me into the purhcase and always gave me an honest opinion even when it might have discouraged me from making the purchase. Michell is great. read more

Michell has helped us buy our new house and sell our old house in the past year, and we couldn't be more pleased with how the process went. (Well, the process is a pain. But we couldn't be more pleased with how Michell helped us through it.) She made it very smooth. She has a relaxed demeanor which helps keep tensions down during what can be a high-stakes process. That same style also helps enormously when it comes to communication with other agents, negotiating, getting work done and planning strategies. On both the buying and selling ends, Michell has never ceased to amaze me with her ability to manage the small details but also track the possible implications of each step in this complicated arrangement. Her calm exterior is a good cover for a very shrewd negotiator. I have bought and sold property with other realtors in the past and never felt like my previous realtors had this much understanding of the nuances of the market. In fact, at one house we looked at to buy, I felt like Michell had a better grasp of the situation than the selling agent did. Michell's communication is very honest and clear, and I felt like she was with us every step of the way. I felt like Michell was there for us at any time we needed her, and was always surprised to find out that she had other houses or other clients she was helping as well, because she was so accommodating to our somewhat difficult schedule and put so much time into helping us. It was almost like having our personal realtor on retainer. read more

Worked with Michell on two very challenging purchases. We were picky and not always the best clients, but she was with us every step of the way being very honest, direct and extremely resourceful when it came to problem solving. She represented our interests extremely well, was always there when we needed her and took care of everything quickly and efficiently. She always went the extra mile and beyond for us. Michell is very knowledgeable about the area and the market and would recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell,and will be using her again for any future transactions. read more

Michell is a ROCKSTAR. She helped us sell a major fixer upper in probate with international signees. Michell used her attorney skills, her real estate skills and her brilliant people skills to complete the entire process, closed and done in UNDER ONE MONTH!! Michell knew the exact type of person we were looking for as the perfect buyer before she put the house up for sale and she was exactly correct. We got 23 offers less than two weeks after being on the market! The final deal was significantly over asking, all cash, with no contingencies and exceeded all our expectations. Michell was always on point, making sure we were taken care of. Our probate attorney experienced many events during our probate, including a broken leg and our primary associate leaving twice. The entire house sale process went so much better with Michell involved, we were able to take care of legal steps along the way, surprising even our probate attorney that everything was done exactly as it needed to be done, including making arrangements with the reverse mortgage company for final payoff amounts, and obtaining all international signatures required. Michell even helped us clean out the property and took care of ordering removal services and dealing with contractors. Every detail was thought of by Michell, we just had to follow the dots. The one and only reason we had such a successful house sale was her stellar service! read more

Where do I begin? Michell just helped me purchase my condo in Richmond. This journey started in August 2016. I was connected to Michell to begin my home search. Michell came highly recommended to me by friends in Oakland/Alameda that she has helped buy homes for. I gave her my parameters, specs, etc. She gave me back real feedback on things I should be looking for. I was open to all areas of Oakland, while Michell reminded me about Location Location Location. My budget was limited. My loan requirements were also challenging. Michell could have easily declined my business in favor of clients with higher budgets and easier loans. I know she had them. Michell treated me like I was buying a multi-million dollar property even though by budget was far below that. She was very available throughout the whole time. Michell focused solely on me during our outings to visit open houses and listings. Later on in the process Michell teamed me up with a Broker she has worked with for a long time. That also made a difference in me securing this house. That is another story. That broker was so responsive and knowledgeable. They put together the best possible situation for me even with my strict loan requirements. Michell and her worked like clockwork. My loan was challenging enough. Both of them really came through on this loan for me. During this time of my loan qualification, I had come across an old issue with my credit. Being a former attorney, Michell gave me detailed instructions on how to resolve this issue. I had it taken care of within a day. That was very key. Michell stuck with me this whole time until now. We put in several offers in the best possible way. I was starting to get discouraged with all of our losses. Michell continued to be positive and move me forward. Even though I did not get the other places, Michell had put in very clean and concise offers. There were two properties we would have won and taken, but Michell was really looking out for me and advised against it due to various glaring issues. I would have sucked it up. However, Michell did not let me do so. There was one property that Michell had an inside track on. We tried to complete this deal without the seller putting the property on the market. Michell did a lot of back end work to try to make this happen. It went on for weeks. Michell kept me informed the whole time. We did not get the place. I was discouraged but again Michell was positive even after doing a ton of back end work to make that work. She remained positive and moved me forward. Michell was very patient with me. She showed me numerous properties. Each time she gave me very sound advice and observations. She really wanted me to be happy with my purchase. Michell took great care knowing this was very important to me. When it came to my current home, we were almost late to game. We found this property late and went to see it in the afternoon on a Monday. I really liked it. I got Michell's approval as well. Offers were due that evening. We rushed back and Michell worked very quickly to put together another very clean and concise offer. Michell even did this during her family time. She called the listing agent to ensure they knew we were making an offer as well as gather information on the competing offers. We were 1 of 9 offers. Michell advised me to write a letter detailing what this place would mean for me. Because of Michell's experience and savviness, we got the place. She worked diligently throughout this process. Michell ensured any work that needed to be done was completed. Michell checked in with me to see how I was doing throughout escrow. Michell had a vacation planned towards the end of my closing. Michell still called and emailed me to ensure things went smoothly while she was out of country. I would recommend Michell to anyone. She is very knowledgeable about the Bay Area especially Oakland and San Francisco. Michell cares very much for her clients and will always give her opinion and recommendations for the betterment of them. I could have probably closed on a place much sooner because I was getting frustrated and just wanted to get into something. Michell did not let me do that. Because of her legal background, all of Michell's offers were very clean and very concise. They were always very well written. We received comments about that from listing agents. Michell was able to walk me through all phases of this process. I never felt uninformed with her. Michell was very responsive throughout this whole time. I never had to chase her down. I know she was working with several clients during our time. Again, she made me feel my situation was a multi-million dollar deal when in fact it was very far from that. I would work with Michell again and again. Thank you for helping me secure this home, Michell. It really exceeded what I thought I would end up with. read more

I'm so happy that I chose Michell as my Realtor. She came in and assessed my property and directed me as to what would make it more appealing and updated. Michell has great connections in the industry and keeps an eye on the market. She had heard from contacts that an uptick of people were getting pre-approved for this time of year and had experienced a higher interest in buyers as well. I had planned on selling in the spring, but she called and told me that more interest was happening earlier this year and suggested that if I was able to sell earlier, it could be best since there were so few homes around my price range. She was correct! My condo never even made it to market and had a contract within a few days of listed as "coming soon". She even negotiated a better price than I imagined that I could get. This was my first time to sell a condo. Things moved so fast and I was quite nervous, but Michell helped keep me calm and gave me great support mentally and emotionally. I definitely recommend Michell and you won't be sorry. read more

IMPORTANT: don't waste your time working with another agent in the area other than Michell ! From beginning to end I was amazed at the level of service Michell provided me. Aside from being one of the nicest people I've ever met, Michell has a wealth of experience and knowledge and that shares graciously. She is always very transparent on all issues and you always feel she has your back and your best interest at ALL times. I would highly recommend Michell services to anyone! She is an honest and open real estate agent who truly cares about the needs of her clients! We look forward to working with Michell again in the future! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Michell Nunez! Michell helped us buy our first home several years ago and I was impressed with her professionalism, patience, good humor, and knowledge of the intricacies of bay area housing markets. She worked tirelessly to help us find our first home. This included sticking with us during what turned out to be an especially hideous short sale process and helping us decide when it was time to walk away from it. Within hours of withdrawing our short sale offer, Michell had found us our perfect home at the beach. We made an offer that same night and it was accepted the next day. I honestly do not know where we would be without all of her efforts on our behalf. In short, I would hire Michell again in a heartbeat, knowing that she would give her all to help us succeed in finding our perfect home. read more

Michell Nuñez is a fantastic real estate agent. She is very attentive and listened to our needs. She is also helpful and patient. It took a long time to find what we were looking for and she was encouraging and positive even when we were frustrated from the process. She tirelessly showed us so many listings week after week. What I think was the most helpful was how well she knows the area and she has a good eye for the potential in certain areas. She is highly knowedgeable about real estate law and practices. With all the paperwork and documents that one has to review when making bids, she assisted us and gave great advice when needed. read more

I've completed two transactions with Michell (both as a seller and buyer), she's well versed in the legal aspects and finer points of real estate in the region (super crucial in competitive market that is the Bay Area). This is clearly her day job and she has a straight forward, no nonsense approach to how the market works, what can be expected, and status on the transaction as it progresses (or not). I appreciated that she was comfortable with my slow responding credit union, instead of her attentive loan broker recommendation - many agents would have just balked, but Michell worked fine my mortgage source (better rate in the end). Recommended! read more

I have nothing but great to say about Michell. She deserves more than 5 stars. I was introduced to Michell by my property manager. Michell did a superb job with the our first property. She is extremely professional with extensive legal and construction knowledge. I have so much confidence on her and subsequently purchased another property with her help. She went far above and beyond both before and even after the purchases had been completed. I highly recommend her to all my colleagues, friends and family members. She is truly a gem in the sea flooded with real estate agents. read more

I can not recommend Michell highly enough! Michell is very knowledgeable, not only about the Bay Area real estate market, but about income properties and fixers. She consistently provided invaluable information. She is also incredibly patient and kind. I felt she truly cared that I found the best home for me. Michell even worked over the Christmas/New Year holidays to help me! In every respect, Michell went above and beyond. She was always just a phone call away. All of her 5-star reviews are spot on. If you want an incredible real estate experience, contact Michell. read more

Michel helped me and my husband last year with a very complicated property sale. It took Michell over 6 months to deal with the mortgage, city of Oakland and prior sellers. The property was a bad buy for us as buyers but Michell was very knowledgeable and understood how complicated our situation was. She helped us with the city of Oakland with their many demands and she was very professional and patient. Michell went above and beyond her job tittle. She will be our relator for our future investments. read more

Michell is truly the best! She is not just knowledgable about real estate in general, but is incredible savvy about this market that is not necessarily buyer-friendly. With her counsel, we were able to buy our first home in the area we wanted, with so much less hassle than we'd anticipated! Whenever we had questions (and we had many!), Michell was available to us immediately. We never felt like she was trying to push anything on us, and we felt like she really listened to what we wanted and needed. She knows how important relationship-building is-- not just with us but with other agents, mortgage brokers, etc, and she always went out of her way to get our needs met. We would use Michell again in a heartbeat, and would give her my highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell!! read more

Michell was recommended to us by a friend, so we immediately trusted her. Then, she lived up to that trust and more. We told her what we were looking for, what was important to us in our new home, and was able to expertly steer us toward a house that would not only meet our needs currently, but would give us potential for the future. She was able to point out which homes had the most potential to build equity and help us understand our home is also an investment. We also loved Michell's serene energy. She's easy-going, knowledgeable, and calm (even when you aren't). read more

Michell was great to work with -- she showed us the homes we wanted to see and listened as we toured them. Based on that, she expertly guided us to houses we hadn't considered. If it was a diamond in the rough, she told us. If the cost outweighed the potential, she let us know. She walked us through the buying process and answered all our naive questions with great aplomb. Because of Michell and our financing team, the entire process was smooth, (almost) stress free, and we're warm and happy in our new home. read more

Michell Nunez is a stellar realtor on so many different levels and was a perfect fit for us! She understands the value of human connection. Not only is she down to earth, warm, and kindhearted, but she has exceptional interpersonal skills that allow her to forge positive relations in all facets of the buying and selling process. She went above and beyond for my husband and I as we looked for a house for our family in this tough and often complicated market. Michell, with a helpful background in law, was patient with all of our questions, was quick acting when things needed to get done, and, ultimately, wanted to help us find the best home for our family. She is reliable and easy to get a hold of, maintained good communications and connected well with the seller's realtor, she handled negotiations fairly and adeptly with all parties involved, and she had great working relationships with inspectors (ensuring that inspections and reports were done in a timely manner). She is so highly skilled and knowledgeable in all areas of the buying and selling process. After we bought our house, due to all of her hard work and commitment, we felt so grateful and highly recommend her if you are looking for a new home and are in need of a fantastic realtor who just might feel like family when all is said and done! read more
