What My Clients Are Saying

Michelle Krause is the consummate real estate agent in every way. Ms. Krause was consistently responsive and available throughout my relocation process to the Portland metro area. I relied heavily on her two decades of experience and familiarity with the unique Portland real estate market and especially in getting acquainted with various neighborhoods I explored while finding a home. Ms. Krause was keenly aware of how to position my offer on a home which had a few additional offers to compete with; and fortunately, I was able to secure the home and even close within seven business days! I believe Michelle's negotiation skills played an enormous role in convincing the seller's agent to seal the deal with my offer. I have confidence Ms. Krause will do this for any other clients who are fortunate enough to work with her.

I just want to take a moment to give a HUGE shout out and recommendation for Michelle Krause as a real estate agent. Michelle was professional from start to finish when selling my mid-century modern house in North Portland. There were so many things that needed to be done to get my house on the market but Michelle was there for me every step of the way. From hiring an exceptional, licensed handyman to do numerous repairs to the house, to having the house professionally staged and also adding her personal touches for a breathtaking presentation. Michelle's design aesthetic and professionalism are two of her most outstanding qualities. She is poised in all of her communications with stakeholders, and highlights the design of your home in a way that only Michelle can pull off. With her background in floral and hair design, Michelle utilizes her talents in ways that you could never expect or imagine. I have never worked with a real estate agent as detail oriented and enthusiastic in her approach to selling your home while providing you with the utmost individualized attention. I applaud Michelle for all the outstanding qualities and skills that she brings to her business and highly recommend hiring her for your next home buying or selling experience.

I have worked with a few different realtors over the years, and while I would say I’ve had a positive experience with all of them Michelle is by far the most amazing realtor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She is incredibly hard working, helpful, and compassionate. I recently sold my house with her assistance and whenever there was an issue or obstacle she was ready you jump into problem solving mode and get things back on track asap! I was consistently impressed with her positive attitude and the way that she really goes above and beyond for her clients. Beyond that, she is also an incredibly delightful human being. You can bet the next time I’m looking to buy or sell a house I’ll be contacting Michelle!

We had an incredible experience with Michelle relocating to the Portland area from Central Oregon. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the market and the process of buying/selling. Michelle really went to bat for us to get us the home we were in love with at a price that was fair for the market. She even had great insight when we hit a few bumps with selling our previous home, even though it wasn't her transaction. Michelle is so responsive and easy to work with, I am so glad we found her to help us purchase our home. I highly recommend her for any of your real estate needs.

Michelle was so amazing to work with. I was a first-time homebuyer so I had a lot to learn! I knew absolutely nothing about buying property. Michelle was such a great guide in my whole process. She was supportive and patient throughout, especially when I had a few moments of overwhelm and needed to take a break from the house search for a few weeks. And 4 months after I met Michelle, I was the owner of my dream house and property! Somehow she made the whole process feel easy, doing so much behind-the-scenes work while always reminding me that I was in the driver’s seat. If you want a realtor with expertise and professionalism, great intuition, a wonderful communicator, and an awesome human, then work with Michelle!

Michelle recently assisted my husband and I with the purchase of an Oregon coast vacation home. Though she is located in Portland, she was available at the coast without hesitancy. Michelle is incredibly professional with a huge amount of knowledge regarding coast properties. She ensured that we got all the facts on the properties we viewed, and she was extremely helpful when putting together an offer. She thought of things that we had not even considered because of her knowledge and attention to detail. Michelle is quickly responsive to all communications. We highly recommend that you reach out to Michelle for your real estate needs. She is a caring person with great real estate instincts. You won’t regret it!

I have had the honor of knowing Michelle for most of my life and I can confidently share that she is one of the kindest souls I have ever met. She always takes the best care of me by listing to my needs, providing thoughtful feedback when needed, and always going the extra mile. Michelle is incredibly detail oriented, which only bolsters you with confidence knowing you’re in the best of hands. I couldn’t recommend partnering with her enough, she’s truly incredible!

Michelle did such a great job that buying our home was as easy as could be. Completely stress free. She had everything under control. A complete pleasure to work with.

Michelle was incredibly responsive and smart as she navigated us through both the purchase of a new home and the sale of the old with strategy and professionalism. I cannot overstate how important her skills were in both of these transactions. She went above and beyond for us and continued to tell me how much she loves her job and that is clear in her attention to detail. We were able to trust her implicitly. She works with integrity and style and I would absolutely do it all again tomorrow with her!

Michelle is amazing!!! She went above and beyond to sell our house. It was a complicated sale with a 1021 exchange and Michelle is so incredibly knowledgeable, we could NEVER have done this without her. Michelle is so kind, patient (she knows what I'm talking about ??) with outstanding integrity. She also stuck by our side with a new purchase on the coast, again with a 1021 exchange. We are incredibly grateful and love her dearly. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle is fantastic and was so awesome to work with. She's friendly and knowledgeable, and her experience shows. Michelle helped me get my offer accepted when there were multiple bidders, using some great strategy. I was super impressed with how organized and on top of things she was, and how quickly she answered any and all questions. She's the best!!

Michelle is SUCH an incredible resource of you're looking to buy or sell in the Portland metro (and Oregon Coast!) real estate market. She is patient, knowledgeable, always available to answer my questions, and is a skilled negotiator on top of all that. 10/10 would highly recommend Michelle to my family and friends!

Working with Michelle Krause was a great experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares, we highly recommend Michelle.

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle! She is incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking, and beautifully guided me through the entire home-buying process. If she doesn't know something (which is rare) she knows countless other people who do.

Michelle was an amazing realtor. She was intent on finding the perfect place that was not only in my price range, but fit my personality. She thought about the needs of my dog who is near and dear to my heart. At the end of it I don't' consider Michelle my Realtor, but a life-long friend. My offer was accepted on 12/2/21 and closed on 1/3/22. LoLo P - incredibly happy customer. If I could give her 10 stars across the board, I would!

Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her experience in the industry coupled with her confident and comforting demeanor made our buying process very rewarding.

We could not have found a better real estate broker than Michelle Krause. From start to finish, she was there for us with all her professionalism, knowledge, and experience.

We worked with Michelle for both buying our new house and selling our old house. She is very personable and great to work with. She is great with all forms of communication: phone, text, and email. She also has good contacts in the community to help get the buying and selling process done.

My spouse and I met Michelle at an open house in our neighborhood. We had been looking to buy a home for over a year in a very competitive market and had worked with two other realtors. Michelle's warmth and attention toward us was striking and I kept her business card on me. Michelle continued to check in periodically and continued to be available without pressure. When we found a home in the Dalles months later that we wanted to make an offer on, we thought of Michelle immediately and asked her to represent us. Michelle agreed and was highly responsive and made excellent suggestions that we trusted. She celebrated with us when our offer was accepted and walked us through each step that followed with humor and grace. Michelle advocated for us through the negotiations very successfully. When the big day came to get our keys, Michelle drove the distance to hand them to us along with a luscious bouquet of flowers from her garden and an engraved cutting block with our name on it and the date of our home purchase! We were so touched and grateful for Michelle and recommend working with her if you want a delightful and trustworthy ally in your home search.

We cannot emphasize enough how grateful we are to have chosen Michelle for our first-time home buying needs. She guided us through every step, checking in frequently to make sure we understood the process and had the answers to all of our questions.

I would highly recommend that you have Michelle assist you in all aspects of buying and/or selling your property!
