Michelle is a rare find among realtors. She actually listens carefully to your needs and concerns then immediately applies them to the task at hand. We found Michelle from these reviews online. I was skeptical that one realtor could have so many positive reviews. It didn't take me long after meeting her to know the reviews must be authentic and that I'd likely be writing a similar review. My wife and I have worked with many realtors over the years for both selling and purchasing homes. Only once before did we feel like the agent was putting our interests above their own. Michelle definitely did that every step of the way. Not only did she expertly guide us on our home search, but she helped us come up with a solution to a completely unrelated issue that she had experience in. Here is the bottom line: Michelle is a better listener than me. Therefore, she knew what would and would not work for my wife long before I did. So do yourself a favor and work with Michelle on your next real estate purchase and/or sale. You won't regret it.

When we started looking for a home we called numerous agents and Michelle was the only one who returned our call promptly. We told her the area we were looking at and what we wanted. She met with us the next day with a list of homes for us to look at. Michelle listened to our wants so well that we found our home that day. Whenever we had questions Michelle was always there. She has walked through the whole process with us. -angeld19

Words can’t express my gratitude and faith in Michelle. I met her over 3 years ago during lunch and asked a few questions about the possibility of selling my home. She gave me straight forward answers and with the economic state, it was not the right time for me. When the market was looking up, I contacted her and she remembered me! We chatted and again, she gave me the no-nonsense advice that I wanted. We made a plan and in less than 48 hours of my house being on the market I received an offer. Michelle and I were both thrilled and even better they wanted to close within 2 weeks! She made things simpler than I could ever have thought. She KNOWS her client and their wants and desires. She CARES about the clients best interests. She is a TRUE PROFESSIONAL in all regards. She is warm, caring and best of all can make it happen – no matter the location or market value. She WORKS for YOU and she is ALWAYS available with a SMILE. Anyone that is looking to sell or buy – please do yourself a favor – call Michelle!!! She is the simply BEST!!!!

Michelle Amen came highly recommended from another highly satisfied client. We took his glowing review to heart and put Michelle to the test. We have been through several ups and downs, as can sometimes be the case in selling a home. That said, Michelle kept us on target and on task. She never wavered when challenges appeared. She had a plan B for every situation and the experience to back it. And the most important thing: if you want to be successful, you need to listen to her advice. Michelle tells the truth and she knows her industry. She doesn't sugar coat but provides you the information you need to be successful, whether buying, selling or both. I can't tell you what a breath of fresh air it is to have an uber professional leading the team. And she has a team and they are awesome. I don't say this lightly and I am a critic at heart but this lady is the real-deal. You will not be disappointed. You will be able to rest, assured in the fact that you're in the best of hands. I am thrilled with our experience with Michelle Amen. Highly recommend.

When we needed help with our mortgage she came to the rescue. There was doubt whether we were qualified to get the mortgage we needed. She stepped in to help and made the deal go smoothly. She was the key to the deal being finalized. Without her help everything would have fallen through.

We would not be in this wonderful house if not for Michelle. We came to her with a tight timeline to find a home and she went above and beyond to deliver. She hooked us up with a wonderful finance person. She understood our needs. Worked very hard to find us just exactly what we wanted and helped us through the entire process. She was wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone. You can't get a better real estate agent in this area. I truly believe that. We were delighted with the outcome and truly thankful for Michelle for making it happen.

I knew the minute I met her she was the one. We were selling our house by owner with no success. She said I WILL sell your house for you!! And she did in 3 months. She was very quick to respond to any questions we had via text or email. On top of selling our house, she found us the perfect house in the perfect location. Went above and beyond to get us moved out and in, in 3 weeks. I highly, highly recommend her. -user9365231

When first looking for a house one evening I had attempted to contact many different agents on Zillow...the only one to respond and still to this day (2 months later) was Michelle. And she had responded the very next day. I was very impressed with your upbeat attitude, attention to the details we wanted in a house and her honestly. Everything she told us would happen, happened. Many times she has gone completely out of her way to answer our questions and help us through the buying process. Always going above and beyond than what we ever expected. She is always responded immediately to our texts, email or phone calls. This has definitely been a pleasure working with her in finding our new home and I am looking forward to continuing a friendship! Thank you Michelle for all that you have done!

It was pleasure working with Michelle during the search and purchasing of our home in Cordova while living in San Diego. Her openness of giving advice, opinions and accessibility, coupled with her supporting team of specialist and assessors where extremely valuable in our selection process; giving my wife and I the ability to make informed and accurate decisions. If you are in need of a realtor to be your hands and eyes- giving you honest opinions, ample supporting information, and a skilled, tenacious advocate to ensure your desires are met- Michelle Amen is the realtor for you.

My husband and I recently purchased a home in the Cordova area a few days ago for $175,000; and had it not been for Michelle none of it would have been possible. Before contacting Michelle we had worked with a couple of other agents we felt could not close the deal for us, and get us what we wanted. My husband and I were in a unique position in that Michelle represented us, and the seller; most people tell you to never do this. We were impressed with how she made sure we got what we wanted, and the sellers got what they wanted without feeling cheated. She has a remarkable team of people who get things done, and they get them done right the first time. On the day of our closing I was blown away with how smooth everything went, and how conscious everyone was in regards to starting on time. I cannot say enough about the group of people she work with to make your buying experience a GREAT! one. I don't mean to insult other real estate agents, but with the real estate market the way it is now only those agents who are truly knowledgeable of the market, can get you the home that you want. Michelle is the BEST! in the business, and she is the person who can get you what you want.

The experience with Michelle was a Gold Medal performance.

Michelle was a true professional. Her knowledge of the area, her expertise and skill in negotiating, and her customer service exceeded our expectations. I knew after she toured the house with us, that she would be an advocate for getting us a fair price and that she was trustworthy. Over the course of the purchase process she validated that impression. We were only in town for the weekend and needed to be certain we were making a good decision. Michelle worked with us through the process and we were able to make an offer, and start the loan process the same day. She continuously updated us on progress and status - which was important since we were not in the area. She took a personal interest in our home purchase success, but more importantly, she was incredible effective and efficient. When there were hiccups, as there always are, she kept her cool and continued to give us sound advice and move the process along. I would recommend Michelle to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home.

Our journey with Michelle started several weeks and at least 50 house viewings ago. Needless to say I am incredibly picky…but Michelle was there each step of the way. Michelle remained unfazed by my persnickety demeanor and greeted us with smiles and excitement at each viewing. She worked very diligently with me and my family to make certain that we were satisfied with the purchasing of our new home. Michelle is a fantastic realtor who is a true professional maintaining the highest levels of ethics and integrity. I highly recommend Michelle Amen.

When I first learned we would be moving to Memphis form Florida I began using the internet to house hunt. One night I posted a question on the internet and immediately Michele Amen called. She was just what I needed; bringing focus and a plan to my house hunting endeavor. What we liked most about Michele- she wasn't there to show us houses, she was there to match us with a house we would love, get us to closing and into the house. Michele provided us with excellent recommendations, advice and assistance throughout the process. After we met Michele it was only 4 weeks and we were moving into our new home. Thank you Michelle. -dmatton

If you are looking to buy or sell in/around Memphis, Michelle Amen is the way to go! My wife and I put our house up for sale in Millington, TN – at first we listed it with a different agent and were not satisfied with the service. We had a second agent ready to take on the sell, but then we decided to go with Michelle and have not regretted it! Here are the things Michelle did for us: 1) She QUICKLY had high quality pictures of our house made and posted on our listing. When I say “High quality” I mean high picture quality AND angles/shots that flattered the house. Her photo rep. didn’t just drive up and take quick pictures while strolling through each room – they studied the room and shot the room in ways that showed the space, important features of each room, and so forth. 2) She was easy to contact by phone or email! Previous realtors who tried to sell our house were nowhere to be found WHEN I NEEDED THEM! Michelle will answer your calls/emails OR return them quickly (I never had her take more than 1 hour tops to call me back). 3) She is hard-working, and gets things done. While I have been promised many things from 2 different agents before Michelle, previous realtors did not deliver like Michelle did. It would take “a couple days” with the 2 other realtors, where as with Michelle, I often had the impression over phone calls/emails that she wanted my house to sell as badly as I did. She shoots straight with you, lays out options fairly, AND she has a sense of urgency in working with you to sell/buy a house! I really do not think my house would have sold when it did were it not for the hard work of Michelle Amen!

Buying a home is a scary thing, especially for first time home buyers like us but Michelle made it more than easy!

Once that was done and we started on the offers, Michelle was makin sure we were getting what we wanted out of the bargain and not having to settle for anything. She really does have your best interest at heart! If you're not using Michelle as an agent, you're just not using the right one! -Jamie Ridge

Michelle is very compassionate in the pursuit of getting to know her clients and providing the best possible experience for all parties envolved when buying a home. I was a first time home buyer with NO experience what so ever in real estate or the entire buying process. Michelle guided me with each process making sure all the while that I was educated and comfortable with the task at hand. I was notified on a regular basis in the progression of the deal and never felt like I was,out of the loop, or not in control despite my lack of knowledge. Michelle was also available at anytime if I had any questions or concerns with a quick response via phone or email. I would Highly recommend this sweet southern lady to anyone looking for a home and a smooth transition process. Thanks again for your compassion and professionalism! A+

Michele was a tremendous asset to us in the purchase of our new home. Her knowledge of the real estate market transcended the entire process! She was able to facilitate the negotiation of the contract in an unusually complicated transaction. Her contacts in the mortgage industry proved very helpful in finalizing our mortgage and demonstrating comparable for the appraisal. And most importantly, she went way beyond the call of duty in ensuring all the final details were successfully included and implemented in the final phases of construction. She was an incredible resource for us from start to finish. The amazing thing is she was not even our agent. She represented the seller and we were the buyers! I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering the selection of a real estate agent.

Michelle was an answer to prayer! We had previously listed our home without much success or activity. Our previous agent's only suggestions were to keep dropping the price to see if it moves. After that contract expired, we were looking for another agent and I saw a review online for Michelle. I am so thankful I happened upon her name that day - she was truly an answer to prayer!! She had the energy and enthusiasm we needed to get our house back on the market and get it SEEN! She gave us more helpful and positive suggestions in the first two weeks that we had previously received in 6 months with the other realtor. It was so encouraging to open my email and see how many showings we had, and more importantly the feedback we needed to make our home more marketable. She encouraged us all along the way - she reminded us to be open to trying different things and thank goodness we trusted her and listened. Because IT WORKED!! We will recommend Michelle to anyone needing a realtor and when we sell in the future we will ask her to take care of us again.

Michelle is the BEST. You will not find any other real estate person out there that can do what she does. She gives 1,000% of herself, her knowledge and her experience. My search was a difficult one because I was trying to find a house that would enable me to combine two households into one. If it wasn't for Michelle, who had to take charge, tell them how to do things, use her people to get things done and keep on top of all them, I would most assuredly still be waiting to close. Things would have fallen completely apart. So, if you are looking to buy or sell the choice is simple - call Michelle!!!!!!

Our heartfelt thanks to our agent, Michelle Amen, for sticking with us and leading us on this real estate roller coaster. We asked Michelle to help us sell our home- our first home together- so that we could move on to our “forever” home as soon as possible. We were on a tight timeframe and we knew what we had to get out of the house in order to make it work financially. She had her work cut out for her, but Michelle and her team were up to the task! Michelle aggressively marketed our home, using her contacts and expertise to get our home in front of the right buyers. In 22 days, we had an offer. In 25 days, we had three offers. Michelle patiently worked with a less-experienced agent to ensure that we were protected as sellers and that everything was “by the book.” Although the sale to the initial buyer fell through, Michelle dug the situation out of the ditch and managed to get us back under contract with one of the original offers within a week. We closed on our home two weeks later, thanks to Michelle’s expert negotiations and guidance and her team’s willingness to coordinate all of the details that go along with selling a home. When we got emotional- as sellers often do- Michelle listened patiently, then encouraged us to remember the bigger picture. The goal was to get our house sold and Michelle got us there. Many, many thanks.

First to start on letting u know how I met Michelle Amen was a true blessing. My husband and I are first time home buyers and were really confused and frustrated on the home searching process. We originally had another agent and were looking at homes but was not getting any information on any loan programs and had not even been approved for anything at the time. He had us just searching the internet on our own to find a home and let him know and then he will show it to us. He had not referred us to a mortgage company or anything. He did not explain anything on the loan process or any other important information we needed to know. He was trying to get a quick sell. I was so fed up that one night which was around the end of April we were searching the internet and viewed a home on Zillow and I told my husband I was going to contact the agent that was listed which was Michelle. He said I don't think we should do that, I said I am tired of being frustrated and need questions answered in which we are not getting. So, I contacted Michelle and she answered the phone with a friendly voice and explained everything to her that was going on and the frustration that we had and she immediately said that we should not be frustrated at all. Michelle at that time advised me to put the phone on speaker so she could answer any concerns my husband and I needed. Also, she stated with her clients she ask what they are looking for to get an idea of what she needs to search for and the client does not have to do anything . We asked her all the questions that we needed to know at that time about the different loan programs, tax information, and credit scoring, etc. In that lenght of time we talked on the phone and learned more in a half hour than we did within the past two mths with the previous agent. After that night we build a great relationship with one another and my husband I decided to let the other agent go. As we moved foward with our search for our dream home Michelle worked with us and we met up at the mortgage company that she deals with, which is very organized and they got us pre approved the same day. At that point Michelle started day and night pulling homes that matched our criteria and printing them out and taking us to review them about twice a week. She had us to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 which was a fun process to do. We have really enjoyed working with Michelle on this great experience and hope to continue to stay in touch with her. We have found our dream home and can't say how much we appreciate all that she has done for us. We have a great bond and wish her great success with her future with more clients. If any one read this experience and are a first time home buyer or any buyer for that reason, Please consider contacting this agent for assistance because she will be by your side the whole way until u find what u are looking for. She is not trying to get a quick sale. Thanks, Michelle again for all u have done. You are so loved.

Michelle and her team were so skillful at getting our home ready to sell that by following her and her team's recommendations we had an offer for our home in five hours after the pictures were posted to the internet. We eventually sold the home after Michelle's help with the negotiations during the counter-offer stage. Michelle and the team were very helpful in guiding us through every step of the process to minimize the stress of what can be a very stressful process. We are very happy with Michelle's work and would recommend her to anyone who asked. Larry and Donna Denton

Finding and choosing a realtor is a crap shoot. At least I thought it was. Little did I know it at the time, but I rolled a lucky number 7 when Michelle Amen responded to my inquiry. Michelle has gone above and beyond for me, including supporting me after the purchase was complete! I cannot say enough how great she is, not to mention the people that support her. There were a couple of snags, some little, some big, in purchasing my house, and I can absolutely say that without Michelle the deal may not have gone through, and as a self-employed person I am not kidding. She worked a lot with a couple of bankers and finally put me in touch with the one who could do the deal. I will not hesitate to recommend Michelle to anyone in the Memphis area who is looking to buy a home. Nothing I can write here can accurately communicate how awesome she is and how grateful I am to have met her.

As a new homeowner in the Memphis are, I'm elated to be affiliated with KWR, and have been taken care of by your BEST realtor, Michelle Amen. I first contacted Michelle while deployed on a United State Ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Within a few minutes, a unique trust had been accepted by your realtor. My wife and daughter were in Japan, and had just returned after being evacuated after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. She understood our circumstances, acknowledged our desires, and left every conversation with the same mission---Find the Taylor Family the Best Home! Let me be the last person to tell you, SHE DID! And she did it with Style! Michelle went above and beyond the call of duty to answer our questions and arrest our worries, through numerous avenues. She posted secure, invite-only videos of the house and home inspection for my wife and me to view. Anytime we had a question, day or night (and we were 14 hours ahead in Japan), she was available. We had a daily conference chats via Facebook, and Michelle performed numerous video chats with my wife via Skype. Michelle Amen expertly navigated the digital waters, and allowed our entire home purchase to be completed with over 9,000 miles between the new and old homeowners! Given truly one-of-a-kind situation, Michelle made this the best home purchase we have completed to date! THANK YOU!

I would like to take a moment and thank you for your agency’s assistance in purchasing and closing on our new home in Collierville this month, we’re actually scheduled to move in this Friday. Donna and I sold our home in Almadale Farms last August to embark on a mission of downsizing somewhat and capitalizing on the distressed market with what we thought would be a sixty-day adventure that turned into a seven month deplorable ordeal. While I have an extremely controlling personality and believed that I was infinitely knowledgeable of the distressed real estate market and didn’t require any assistance, Donna and I missed a couple of wonderful homes and we decided to look for some assistance. In late October after realizing that I wasn’t the distressed sale market expert I thought and needed some help in finding that bargain home, Michelle Amen contacted via an “internet” inquiry made to your organization and we began our journey. While it’s sometimes difficult for me to slow down and commend people for their extra efforts, I would like to take this opportunity to praise Michelle for her efforts and patience. I’ve worked with numerous agents over the past thirty years, but none with the tenacity and drive that Michelle exhibited during our trying ordeal. I’m reasonable sure Michelle would say the experience was memorable, definitely one for the record book. At times Michelle’s persistence was the only thing that kept us on track when we derailed, especially when Donna and I were at different places. She should probably be a relationship counselor in her next life. We were so impressed with Michelle’s knowledge and overall service level, we’ve praised her numerous times to our friends and acquaintances for future referrals; and have entrusted her with our youngest son with the purchase of his first home. We’ll definitely use Michelle again in the future and will continue to refer her to friends and relatives. In summation, Michelle has not only achieved greatness in our eyes through assisting us with our home purchase, but we’ve also gained a good friend.

I don't know what we would have done without Michelle's expert help and knowledge. We had a limited time to sell our home and move to a new job location and this was in a not great sellers market. Michelle guided us in most effective presentation changes to make to the home to appeal to buyers. She was very helpful in our being able to get this work done quickly and reasonably. We were able to sell our home within a month of our moving out,,,,,,she definitively exceeded our expectations for what a Realtor could do for us.

You can't go wrong with Michelle. She was so very helpful and patient with us not to mention down to earth and hilarious. She was absolutely the best real estate agent we could have asked for. She was able to answer any questions we had and we felt like she couldn't have been more honest with us. It was our first home buying experience and we were completely clueless but she made it all as simple and understanding as possible. We picked Michelle due to her past reviews and are so very glad we did. We will never use another agent if we can help it!! When you say sold, say Amen..Michelle that is!!! -user8138028

Her name is Amen for a reason. She worked a miracle and got me in my dream home within just a few weeks! As a first time homebuyer with very high expectations, I was sceptical at first if she could find me a home but she quickly proved me wrong with her vast knowledge and experience. She responded very quickly to all my messages and took care of everything from getting me set up with an amazing mortgage company to finding a company to clean the roof. This was the least stressful move I've ever had. I can't thank her enough. She has a customer for life!

It was very friendly, detailed introduction of many properties that were of interest for me in in different areas of Memphis, from Germantown, to downtown Memphis. Ms. Amen showed an amazing knowledge of not just each of the properties that were of interest for me, but also of entire city and region, which was as important me considering the fact that the whole area was totally new to me and it was my very first visit to Memphis area.

If you are looking to buy or sell in/around Memphis, Michelle Amen is the way to go! My wife and I put our house up for sale in Millington, TN – at first we listed it with a different agent and were not satisfied with the service. We had a second agent ready to take on the sell, but then we decided to go with Michelle and have not regretted it! Here are the things Michelle did for us: 1) She QUICKLY had high quality pictures of our house made and posted on our listing. When I say “High quality” I mean high picture quality AND angles/shots that flattered the house. Her photo rep. didn’t just drive up and take quick pictures while strolling through each room – they studied the room and shot the room in ways that showed the space, important features of each room, and so forth. 2) She was easy to contact by phone or email! Previous realtors who tried to sell our house were nowhere to be found WHEN I NEEDED THEM! Michelle will answer your calls/emails OR return them quickly (I never had her take more than 1 hour tops to call me back). 3) She is hard-working, and gets things done. While I have been promised many things from 2 different agents before Michelle, previous realtors did not deliver like Michelle did. It would take “a couple days” with the 2 other realtors, where as with Michelle, I often had the impression over phone calls/emails that she wanted my house to sell as badly as I did. She shoots straight with you, lays out options fairly, AND she has a sense of urgency in working with you to sell/buy a house! I really do not think my house would have sold when it did were it not for the hard work of Michelle Amen!

We could not be more pleased with our experience. Michelle called me upon my completion of an online form, and within 24 hours we had an appointment to view houses with her. We gave her our list of requested viewings, and she brought along several more suggestions -- one of which ended up being our chosen home. We had an offer accepted the next day, and we closed 14 days later. My husband and I are real estate newbies, and her vast knowledge was extremely helpful as we navigated the whirlwind time frame. She and her team were very responsive (even when I was getting anxious and nervous!) and they calmly answered every question. She is hilarious and kind and honest. We had planned to rent out our old home, but after working with her to find our new home we decided to list it with her instead! She was THAT good. We could not recommend Michelle more!

Michelle will overwhelm you with blah blah blah and will not let you make your own decision. If you question anything she says or offers you, she will tell you that you don't know what you are talking about and that you are uneducated (Literally). She has a guy for the mortgage loans who will try to abuse you big time with his number and if you question anything, she will tell you to either take it or leave it. She wants you to buy the house in a record time so she can make money and forget you if you did not have enough time to think about the house or the contract deal. You are in the house, you are paying a premium and she already made her money/commission. So if you are a first time buyer or you like to read about what you are offered and make good decisions, this is not the right agent for you. She sent me an email telling me that she is too busy to spend unproductive time. I worked with her for 1 week and went out to see houses only 1 time, we decided on one but the mortgage loan the guy gave me made no sense, so I asked questions about it, she wanted me to take it or leave it. Then when I fired her she turned nasty and started saying mean things. This agent does not care about you she only cares about making her commission and quick. Do not work with her.

Michele guided my daughter through the process of buying her first house. As her mother living about 300 miles away, I couldn't be there to help a lot and I missed closing day. Michele listened to what my daughter was looking for. She never gave up and never gave in until she found the perfect house. She then worked with my daughter, a new graduate with a challenging financial background, to get her loan approved. Michele Amen was there every step of the process and went above and beyond a realtor's responsibilities. She is more than a realtor. She's a friend that you can count on to get the job done.... no matter what. She gave me peace of mind because she stepped in for me to help my daughter. Go with Michele if you want success in real estate. Beth-White House, TN.

Michelle contacted us right away and told us exactly what we needed to do, which was a relief because we were a bit unsure. I could tell right away she was going to be an advocate for us, and she was! She knew right away if we should pursue a house or if there was something about it that we might not want or like. She really listened to our needs and the communication was really good. Also her personality is awesome, you can't help but like her right away. :) Thanks Michelle!

Finding our first home was one of the most stressful and tiring processes that my fiance' and I had ever experienced. After months of searching with no luck, we were blessed to come across Michelle Amen and her staff by reviewing her amazing reviews online. Michelle and her team wasted no time getting to know us as well as our likes and dislikes in order to help us find exactly what we wanted. Michelle taught us so much about the home buying process and really showed us that she was very experienced in this area. We were also so appreciative to have worked with her buyer's agent Amy Bennett. Amy was so dependable and is truly good at what she does. She was always available any time of day to answer questions, listen to concerns, etc. We developed a close relationship with her and I really don't know how we would have made through the process without her. The team was ultimately successful in helping us find our dream home and we love it! Thanks so much to The Amen Team!!

She called me the next day and we were looking at houses the day after that. She listened to what our wishes were and did not waste time showing houses that didn't meet our specifications. She was very knowledgeable about the area of interest and the entire process. My wife and I are now in our new home and loving it. I got lucky and contacted the right person.

Dear Michelle; Marcia and I want to thank you for the effort and time you have invested helping us find the house that we have been looking for. We want to stand out and express on this letter our gratitude for Medley Grinder professionalism and kindness. Since the first time we met Medley on October 19, 2013 she has been very professional, reliable, honest, patient and friendly with us. Medley deposited on us a blind trust that we do not think money can pay. We do appreciate Medley’s efforts and time invested meeting with us on weekends besides having a family. We feel very lucky to have met and work with Medley. I consider myself a very straightforward and serious person who prefers to work my own way and Medley has responded to these characteristics perfectly from the beginning. We will highly recommend her in any future reference. We are very happy to have decided to work with Michelle Amen Team and Keller Williams Realty. Best regards, Borja Giralt Chavarri

I found a house I was interested in on Zillow.com, I left my information on the web site and was surprised to get a response from Michelle Amen within about 5 minutes. She had a very positive attitude and arranged for me to see the home the next day. The home wasn’t for me, but Michelle took the time to understand my needs. On my next day off she met me with a list of homes that met my needs, she had them in the order that we were to go see them on a clipboard with a pen attached for notes. She was amazing!! She looked out for my best interests as far as the condition of the homes and what might need to be repaired. At the end of the viewings she had a “surprise” for me, a home she had been keeping a secret. I immediately fell in love with this home, but she told me she had more homes for me to view the following day. At the end of the following day she had another “surprise,” another gorgeous home within my price range. I was on the fence so she took me back to the first home and let me view it privately (without any influence) until I decided that was the best house for me. We drew up a contract that night and she had my offer submitted the next morning. Imagine my surprise when she contacted me the very same evening to say my offer was accepted! She negotiated what I thought was an incredible deal, with more “extras” than I could have hoped for. I thought we were asking for too much and was afraid we might not get the house, but the buyer accepted our offer. Thank you Michelle, can I get an “Amen?” She is one of the finest people I have ever met and worked with. I highly recommend her, and I feel like I have found a life-long friend. I closed on my house on Tuesday, November 29, 30 days after we first viewed the home. AMAZING! I love my new home and I love Michelle, she will do you right!

Michelle absolutely went above and beyond as a real estate agent and a woman of character. My boyfriend was searching for a home in Memphis while spending a significant amount of time working remotely in California. His time in the Memphis area was limited and Michelle worked around his schedule to find him the perfect home. She allowed him to form his own opinions about the homes he visited without inserting her own; but when asked, she offered honest, informed opinions that were extremely valuable. His purchasing process was not the smoothest due to new lending regulations (and whose process is really smooth?) and Michelle made it her mission to make things happen so he could close on the home within a matter of weeks. Because he was not in the area she coordinated his move, cleaning both his old and new place, and having carpet installed in the new home. NONE of that was her responsibility but she was always kind and willing to help. When he and I arrived in Memphis late on a Thursday night to spend a weekend at the new house, we arrived to the best surprise. Michelle had ordered dinner and dessert from a local Italian restaurant and set up a candlelit dinner by the fire complete with flowers and a bottle of champagne to celebrate. I was blown away...and crying at this point. I can't say enough positive things about Michelle. Not living in the Memphis area I hate that my word doesn't spread to enough potential clients of hers and I can only hope that this review does just that. If you are looking for a real estate agent, LOOK NO FURTHER. You found her. She was truly a Godsend to my boyfriend and me and when I get to Memphis permanently I hope to be able to pay it forward by continuing cheerleading for her to all those I meet who are in the market to buy/sell. Michelle, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

We had our first house listed with an agent who A.) brought no traffic through so therefore; B.) couldn’t sell it in 6 months. We contacted Michelle who had absolutely fabulous photos made, had it SOLD in 1 day to a guy in Kuwait. She worked a lease-purchase out for us that was a win-win for both of us. We then had to sell another house and once again, she did it again. She sold it before it was listed and on the market. We love Michelle and highly recommend her!

Michelle was really a turning point for us in a long hard journey. Our house had to go on the market due to a job relocation and we were not prepared for the current real estate environment. By the time we found her we were pretty depressed and she was the first person that gave us any indication that she cared and that she would absolutely help us sell our house. We did have to do a few things she suggested, but she didn't require a lot of updates that had been requested by others we had interviewed. The most important thing is that she was always easy to contact and she was always doing everything she could to help. She went way beyond what I consider her job description. You really have a great new friend on your side, Ron and Melissa Stockstill Cape Girardeau, MO

The two things that SOLD me on Michelle were: 1) She had us extremely organized in our home search. She arranged for and we saw 15 properties in one afternoon. I thought that would be either be impossible or unproductive or both. It was not! She had all the property descriptions printed and organized in order on a clip board. She had us take good notes immediately after each home and gave us a system to keep track of the results. She kept us moving and dynamically kept every appointment updated so we could walk right in each home. We were actually able to easily decide which house was best for us. I have been on searches before where we saw multiple homes (but never 15) and it was always difficult to keep track of what we had seen which made the experience frustrating. This was the opposite. 2) Michelle was enthusiastic. On the home search side, she never got discouraged when we eliminated homes. She never said we had to lower or change our desires/expectations. She kept saying, There's one out there for you. We're going to find it. And we did...on the 14th house. On the selling side, she looked at our house from the perspective of all the positives instead of all the things we had to change/fix. She did help us know what things had to be changed to maximize our value but she always remained enthusiastic about what we were selling. And she sold it for 30K above any other estimate we had gotten from sales agents and she sold it in 1 day. Enough said.

Sold our home in Cordova. In a difficult market, Michelle Amen sold our home much faster than we anticipated. We appreciate the excellent marketing she did for us--a wonderful video that showed our house to its best advantage, and photos on the real estate websites that were truly professional. She is more than a realtor--she's a market savv-professional who invests her time and resources in the properties that she lists. (But I have to admit that we almost said no when she asked us to repaint the eating area of the kitchen in a caramel color.The end result was beautiful!) Michelle knows what it takes to bring in offers. She truly cares about her clients, and so many times she exceeded our expectations. Without reservation, we recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.
