I met Micheal as the sellers agent, on my most recent investment purchase. Micheal is a sincere educated real estate professional. I plan to use Michael in the future to purchase some additional investment properties, and I recommend him to handle your real estate needs too.

Two true real estate professionals and a joy to work with!
I had such a great experience working with Brittany Jones and Michael Applegate on the sale of my property. They both were extremely helpful, knowledgable and always available to answer my questions.
I especially appreciated their patience, attention to detail and genuine dedication to my needs. These two agents helped me overcome a difficult village inspection.
I highly recommend Brittany Jones and Michael Applegate with Straight-A Realty to anyone in the market looking to sell, buy or any need you may have regarding a property.
