We're extremely grateful for Michele and Dan Cleary! This is our 3rd time purchasing a home and still being relatively new to Columbus, we were unsure who to ask to assist in the selling and buying process. Our friends had recommended Michele and Dan to us to assist us with our real estate needs. Michele and Dan are very friendly, thoughtful, knowledgable and thorough! Always willing to answer any questions you have and always met with smiling faces. We had a blast working with them to find a place we always wanted to call home and they made it happen. They are very experienced in the Columbus market and know the different areas very well. We appreciated their insight when it came to recommendations and they know who to call when a second opinion is needed. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them! They made this the most seamless home buying experience we have ever had. 5 Stars all of the way!

Michele and Dan Cleary are top notch realtors in the greater-Columbus area. First and foremost, they are lovely, kind, and passionate individuals. You can tell from the minute that you meet Michele and Dan that they love what they do, and they are very proficient in their craft; they compliment each other so nicely. Each time my wife, or myself, discovered a prospective home, Dan and/or Michele facilitated a walk-through immediately. They are both very knowledgable about what to look for, what to avoid, and what would be a valuable investment. In addition, Michele has unmatched taste and vision. We were selling and buying simultaneously, and we got amazing advice regarding what to do with our previous property in order to optimize our sale. They went above and beyond to help us buy and sell and, perhaps most profoundly, they made us feel like we were their only clients. They are wonderful people, wonderful realtors, and we are privileged to call them wonderful friends. If you have any real estate needs, give them a call. It is a no-brainer, and I promise you will not be disappointed. We love Dan and Michele!

Michele and her husband Dan were instrumental in turning a sudden and unexpected move into a quick and easy home sale. They are both great communicators with connections to local contractors who went above and beyond by acting as our boots on the ground during a cross-state move to ready our home for listing. From the moment we met until the deal closed, we greatly appreciated their expertise of the local market, solid marketing and spot-on pricing advice they provided. I can't recommend this team enough. Thank you Michele and Dan!

Michele is an amazing realtor! She truly listened to what I wanted and needed in my new home. She made sure that I was comfortable with and understood every step of the process. It was a rollercoaster of emotions at certain points but she kept a calm and kind demeanor throughout the process, reminding me that the right home was just around the corner!

Michelle was always available through the transaction. She listened to our needs and what our goals were, and then helped us execute those goals for our family. We will definitely use her again for future transactions.

Where to start!? We met with Michelle and immediately won over. Throughout the selling process we were always notified and kept in the loop of all that was happening. She explained the process to us in a very understandable way. I would recommend Michelle for anyone looking to buy or sell. I can't imagine there are many real estate professionals like her. Truly one of a kind.

Michele was very professional, knowledgeable, and responsive in helping me find a home in a very challenging market. She was certainly in my corner when it came to negotiating the final sale price. Michele has incredible integrity and experience and would highly recommend her. I felt at ease throughout the entire process.

Trying to buy my first home in such a seller’s market was challenging and stressful to say the least, but Michele was the one constant support that I thankfully had on my side all the way up through closing. She was professional, reliable, honest, and I truly feel that she had my best interest at heart throughout the entire process. No matter how busy she was, she always made the time to text, call, email, or show me a house, and she was always willing to do it around my not so convenient schedule. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone and I would feel very confident that they would be just as happy to work with her as I was. Thanks again Michele!

Cannot recommend Michele enough - she goes above and beyond, is extremely responsive, and VERY knowledgeable. We learned so much about houses and how to spot issues in homes that could signal large problems from her - she truly cares for her clients and wants the best for them. Highly recommend!

Michele is super professional. She gave incredibly valuable insight during our home-buying process. She was supportive and available. She always responded in a timely manner and was radically available to show us houses. She helped us talk through things, helped us navigate a tricky market, and was a joy to work with. She was great with our kids, too. Once we closed on our house we were sad that we wouldn't have regular chances to see her anymore!

Michele is a very detail oriented & compassionate real estate agent. She was truly invested in helping my family sell our starter home and she was instrumental into getting us into our new dream home and helping us find exactly what we wanted. I genuinely wish I could give her a higher score than 5 stars

We’ve worked with Michele on 3 real estate transactions. She helped us purchase our first home and was so helpful to us as first time home buyers. As we looked to sell our first home and purchase our second, of course we would work with Michele. She’s knowledgeable/professional/responsive. She’s been in the business for some time so she’s knowledgeable on contracts/negotiation and well connected in the community. Of all of the good real estate agents in Clintonville/Columbus—I would say she is the best, and would recommend her to anyone looking to sell/buy.

I cannot say enough good things about Michele Cleary! From the very first phone call I made to the very end, she was there to respond to any questions, concerns, or just plan reassuring when I was worrying about the anxiety ridden process of buying and selling a home. This was our first house to ever buy and during the most crazy times with COVID, low inventory and high demand market and she made the process easier! I cannot recommend anyone more and will definitely be referring others to her when asked about real estate needs.

Michele is by far the best realtor out there. My family and I have used her for numerous transactions, in addition we have referred many of our friends to Michele also. Michele is always available and can navigate complex situations when needed. She recently helped me buy a house that had 21 offers. She’s the best !

Michele was here helpful to my husband and I as we sold our house. She was very knowledgeable with the market and we were able to sell our house in less than a week. She went above and beyond at each phase and would highly recommend her!

I have worked with Michele in the purchase of 3 properties. She has always been professional, very prompt and made me feel as though I was the only one she was working with it. She helped me stay on task regarding my wish list and my budget. Once l found my home, she helped me with finding contacts to make repairs. She is truly exceptional and treated my entire family with respect. I give her the highest recommendations possible without any hesitation.

Michele worked with us from start to finish, visiting our house as soon as we began thinking about putting it on the market. She gave thoughtful recommendations about how to focus our time and money in making repairs and upgrades that would make it attractive to future buyers without over upgrading. Throughout the selling process she was a calm voice of reassurance, and provided excellent communication that always prioritized my family first. It's stressful to go through the showing process with young children, and Michele helped us set boundaries around our time that allowed our family to have a reasonable schedule and put the kids first without sacrificing opportunities for potential buyers to see the house. We always felt she was looking out for our best interests- not just in getting the house sold for a good price, but about making the experience positive and reducing our stress levels as well.

We also appreciated her frankness and experience as she helped us look for our new home. After years of helping clients, she has a keen eye for details and was quick to spot crucial problems or overpriced homes. We felt confident in her assessments of the places she showed us and never felt pressured into looking at or bidding on homes we weren't comfortable with, even thought that ultimately meant we purchased a home well below our max budget.

During the selling process we hit several unforseen road bumps that we absolutely could not have navigated without Michele. She handled all the communication with our buyers and the involved parties to keep things moving and kept us in the loop without bombarding us with stressful updates. Without her firm but calm management, I'm not sure the sale would have been possible- she managed multiple parties with grace and made sure we got exactly what we needed.

One of the many things that makes Michele stand out is her personal attention, even after the sale. We experienced several problems upon moving into our new home and Michele was able to arrange for them to all be resolved at no cost to us. She gave us a heartfelt housewarming present and checked in to make sure everything was well. It's obvious she cares for our family's happiness, not just about her commission.

This was our second experience working with Michele and it won't be our last. If we ever need to buy or sell a property in the future, she'll be the one we trust with our family's homes.

As first time home buyers, my husband and I honestly did not know what we were getting into when we decided to begin our home search. We were referred to Michele by our pastor, and we couldn't be more thankful! Michele's experience in this very competitive market was such an asset during our home search. We know for sure that we would not be in the beautiful home that we are if it were not for her wisdom, guidance, and patience. We learned quickly that many agents can be pushy and take advantage of first time buyers. Michele, however, is the opposite of that! She is authentic, genuine, and truly wants to put her clients in the best fit for them. I cannot say enough kind words about Michele! She is one of the hardest working people I know, and anyone who is privileged enough to work with her will be in the most capable hands in the industry.
