As first-time homebuyers, we could not have asked for a better experience than the one provided by Michelle Beckman. Beyond her expertise, it was her genuine care and dedication that truly made our experience special. She wasn't just trying to close a deal; from the first phone call to the closing, she treated us like family and made the journey memorable. We are so grateful for her invaluable support and highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring real estate agent. You only buy your first home once and Michelle makes sure that it's a whole, positive experience; we didn't just walk away with new keys, but photos and mementos/keepsakes that we can look back on and treasure for years to come. My partner and I were, understandably, nervous and overwhelmed by the entire process of purchasing a home, especially in this day and age. From start to finish, Michelle went above and beyond in ensuring we were fully informed, showing not only her exceptional attention to detail but also dedication to our preferences. When we toured homes, she didn't just point out the positives- she was incredibly thorough about highlighting potential downsides, helping us understand the true condition of each property to ensure we knew both the charm and the challenges of each place we viewed. Her communication was top-notch, always prompt, clear, and transparent. Whether it was a question about the listing, a follow-up after a viewing, or a clarification on paperwork, she responded quickly and thoughtfully. For us, the home we initially wanted went off the market before we could even coordinate to see it in person. Instead of letting us settle, Michelle worked to get us the opportunity to visit the property and, eventually secure it- even when we assumed it was out of reach. Her persistence in helping us get exactly what we wanted showed us was so appreciated. She also clearly takes her fiduciary duty very seriously. I believe there is no such thing as too much information when you're making such a large investment and am confident we could not have found someone better to guide us. Michelle walked us through the purchase and sale agreement line-by-line, with patience and clarity to ensure that we understood- in laymen's terms- every decision that we made and every obligation that we would have once the document was signed. Her expertise in negotiations also played a major role in helping us secure a great deal--one that we're confident we'll benefit from for years. There are truly not enough good things we can say about her professionalism, dedication, and unwavering support. We are beyond grateful for her and would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an exceptional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable real estate agent. read more

Michelle came highly recommended; even so, she surpassed all of our expectations when we sold our condo. If you want a real estate agent who is competent, detail-oriented, transparent in her communications, immediately responsive to any requests even on weekends and evenings, connected to excellent vendors to get the property ready, and persistent in the face of adversity, look no further. Michelle is the person you want on your side. We had interviewed Michelle a year before we were actually ready to sell and liked her professionalism and demeanor then. When I called her a year later, still not certain whether we wanted to sell, she didn't respond with a sales pitch but instead listened to what made us waver, made suggestions of what factors to consider that went beyond market conditions and sales price to emotions about housing, and supported our decisions. One of her best qualities is that she places the client's wishes at the center of all transactions. Thanks to Michelle the preparation and initial stages of this sale went smoothly, from pricing decisions to staging and showing the unit. Her diligence was especially needed since both of us were away during this time. Our neighbors and friends went to the open houses she held and told us how beautifully the unit was staged. Several mentioned the signs Michelle had hung throughout the condo highlighting features that might not be immediately visible to potential buyers. She quickly found a buyer and kept us informed on all following steps, making this a low-stress experience. While Michelle would have already received our highest recommendation by this point in the process, she deserves even more praise for what followed. Hurdles between the lender and the HOA's management company led us to having to move our closing date three times. During this time, she stayed in constant contact with us, the lender, the buyer's agent, and the management company. She worked tirelessly to move the sale forward and to make sure all parties were kept informed, even though ours was not a high-priced condo that yielded a high commission. In the end, her persistence and dedication paid off in a sale. We would not have been able to do this without Michelle and cannot express how grateful we are to her. Whether you expect your real estate transaction to proceed without difficulties or whether you anticipate some hurdles, you will be well served with Michelle Beckman and Keller Williams by your side. We recommend her without any reservation whatsoever and feel honored that she chose to work with us. read more

Michelle is an incredible realtor and an amazing person. Her patience, knowledge, clarity and straight forwardness is simply, above and beyond. She left me feeling very supported and trusting. I will be recommending her to anyone who will listen and definitely using her service again myself, in the future. I know Michelle through my best friend who has bought two properties through her and sold one. Knowing how she took care of him and seeing how she worked, made me seek her out for my own condo purchase. One of the best decisions I've ever made. From the very start, she helped to organize my jumbled thoughts into a cohesive plan and explained what I could expect through each step and was particularly in-tune to what I needed to feel supported, not rushed and safe through this prodigious process. This was my very first home buying experience and the biggest single financial decision of my life. Whatever property I asked her about, she provided me with a CMA (comparative market analysis) and as much detailed info as I could handle. Also, I work nights and Michelle was very aware of my work schedule. She made herself available for early morning property showings as well as late night phone calls and emails. No matter what time of day I had a question, Michelle always responded to me promptly and thoroughly, via phone, text, and email. When I finally found "the one" Michelle educated me on terms that made my offer stand out among multiple offers for a very competitive market. We had some extended drama with the listing and she never gave up and instead rolled up her sleeves, dug in, advocated for me and ultimately got me the deal of the decade. She provided insight and pricing strategy back up with statistical information of the surrounding property & neighborhood. I was especially impressed by her knowledge and guidance on interest rates, condos, HOA's, CCR's & Resale Certificates. While in contract, Michelle provided regular updates during all phases of the transaction. She helped me stay organized with my loan officer as well. Michelle provided me with regular updates and a handy timeline of what to expect through the buying process. Her convenient mobile notary services for signing documents was a time saver and again highlights her organizational skills. I can't thank Michelle enough for everything she has done for me. Let her work for you and you'll see why she deserves so much praise. read more

From the moment we began working together, Michelle was dedicated to ensuring that she responded promptly and thoroughly to all of my questions, day or night. Her responsiveness gave me peace of mind throughout the process.

This level of organization and communication made the entire experience much less overwhelming. I also appreciated how Michelle consistently provided me with regular updates during all phases of the transaction. Whether it was showings, contract negotiations, or other important milestones, she made sure to keep me in the loop through phone calls and emails. Her communication skills were exceptional, and she even went the extra mile by liaising with my lender to ensure that everything was progressing smoothly. One thing that truly set Michelle apart was her dedication to going above and beyond. She made my first home purchase feel special and unique by taking care of even the smallest details, such as arranging an additional showing before the final walkthrough. Her commitment to providing exceptional service was evident in every interaction I had with her. Overall, I cannot recommend Michelle Beckman highly enough. Her commitment to helping her clients and making the buying process as seamless as possible is truly commendable. If you are in need of a realtor who is responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to your success, Michelle is the one for you. read more

I cannot express enough good things about Michelle Beckman, who helped me buy my first home. I have known Michelle for 23 years, and when I decided to take the plunge and buy a house, I knew immediately that I wanted her to be my agent. I knew I could trust her to give me an honest answer and guide me through the process every step of the way. And she did not disappoint! Michelle was completely committed to making the transaction as seamless as possible, and she was always available to answer my questions promptly and thoroughly, day or night. She provided an abundance of information on every property I was interested in and encouraged me not to give up my search until I found the perfect fit. When it came time to make an offer, Michelle provided invaluable insight and strategy that helped me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. She was able to position my offer so that we didn't have to compete against multiple other offers, which was a huge relief. She made sure I was aware of every step of the buying process and provided regular updates via phone, text, and email. She communicated frequently with my lender to ensure everything was moving along smoothly, and made sure I knew exactly what to expect and when. Throughout the process, I felt like Michelle really cared about my long-term happiness and had my best interests at heart. She had the best resources (lenders, inspectors, insurance agents, vendors) to meet my needs and helped educate me on potential issues I could expect as a first-time home buyer. I felt well guided and well taken care of every step of the way. I am so grateful to Michelle for helping me achieve the dream of home ownership. She made me feel special and acknowledged what a big achievement it is to purchase my first home. She made sure my new home would fit my needs and could grow with me as my needs change. I highly recommend Michelle Beckman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home - she is the best in the business! read more

As a first-time buyer, I was really nervous about all of the consultants/agents/officers/etc I'd be dealing with in the home buying process - and I was really grateful to get a referral to Michelle's team from a friend. Michelle was exactly the person I needed to meet to get un-stuck and move forward on my path to my dream home. I loved that she explained everything thoroughly (and in multiple formats - if I heard it on the phone I could trust that there'd be something in my email or text inbox to check back against later as-needed) and was extremely transparent with me about how realtors, mortgage lenders, home insurance agents, contractors, etc get paid and able to point me to research materials whenever there was a question not-quite-in-her-scope that I needed to do my own due dilligence around. I loved that she was so flexible and proactive with communication - I never had to worry I was missing checklist steps because she'd set my mind at ease, and she was great about toggling between phone/text/email communication based on urgency level AND what was going on in my own life (she worked around my work trips, my pottery classes, my preferred morning-vs-evening-person communication hours...wonderful!). She did a great job of educating me about the market and also about how to prioritize and narrow my price range/budgets and list of preferences into a checklist of must-haves versus nice-to-haves - and then when it came time to negotiate my offer(s), she was a great strategic advisor and connector to the seller&agent. I genuinely believe I got the best possible deal on my new home - and it ticked every single box on my fairly-niche wishlist, which is amazing! I could keep going and going and going but ultimately - Michelle cares a lot about her clients and doing her work well, AND she has the skills and expertise to make it happen. I referred her to my younger sister recently, which should speak for itself - I trust her with my family!! read more

Choosing Michelle to be our agent for selling our house was one of the best decisions I've made. From the first time we sat down to discuss options until the sale closed Michelle was always there with invaluable information, recommendations and advice. Her expertise and dedication to go the extra mile whenever needed has been nothing short of breath taking. Michelle did an excellent job communicating and explaining every step of the process. She provided regular and detailed status updates every step of the way, which made the whole process of preparing the house for sale and the sale process itself very smooth. She helped make excellent recommendations on what improvements and repairs should be done prior to listing and helped put us in touch with excellent contractors to get the job done quickly and professionally. Landscapers, painters, flooring installers, general contractors, house cleaners and stagers - Michelle had trusted contacts for them all and got us some great bargains for top quality work, and the photographer she hired was absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail and knowledge about what buyers are looking for was a tremendous asset and I am so happy to have followed her advice. Her research on local market conditions and her willingness to go above and beyond to secure us the best deal helped us close $95,000 above listing price. Seeing the work she put in to schedule open houses and follow up with every agent that showed our property to get valuable feedback and she proved herself to be a top-notch negotiator when we reviewed the bids we received. If you're looking to sell a home in the Puget sound region, your first step should be to give Michelle a call. She will amaze you. read more

If you have the opportunity to work with Michelle, you should jump on it! We were referred to Michelle by our loan officer and can say without a doubt that working with Michelle was one of the most rewarding parts of our home search. Michelle's responsiveness, engagement, and thoughtfulness are beyond reproach. From our first email exchange, Michelle showed genuine interest and care surrounding us, and our home search and this responsiveness were consistent day or night. When the moment came where we found a house, we both liked, Michelle knew! She spent the entire day with us, booking additional showings for our family to see and hanging out at our family's home, walking us through every question and 'what if' of our offer process. We could not have asked for someone more knowledgeable or down to earth, she truly made us comfortable with such a big decision. Michelle helped us understand how to put our best foot forward in such a competitive market, from helping us write the best offer to helping us write an appealing buyer's letter. When preparing for the transaction Michelle was once again with us every step of the way, guiding us on the next steps, communicating with every party involved, and going out of her way to make sure we were informed and getting the best value we could ask for. Michelle truly made us feel cared for and made a process that we thought would be daunting and overwhelming seem like a breeze, which says a lot given the current state of the market. While we can't imagine ever leaving our new home, we truly hope we get the chance to work with Michelle again in the future, we will definitely be referring her to everyone any chance I get. read more

Her professionalism, knowledge, and exceptional client care made our experience not only successful but also enjoyable. read more

There simply isn't enough time or space to describe Michelle's awesomeness. She was deeply committed to making the transaction as seamless as possible. It was immediately apparent that she did her homework, by providing real-time information through calling pending and live listings to get the most up-to-date information. Throughout the process, she explained each phase of selling in great detail, and also periodically reminded us what we should expect and the next steps. When it came time to prepare our house to list, she recommended tried-and-true professionals to help get our property ready. We had the below contractors working on our house. They not only showed up on time, but beat their estimated time frame. Handymen & Painter Carpet Cleaner Window Cleaner House Cleaner Landscaper Staging Company & THE BEST Photographer to show off all the work that was completed. She knew which improvements would have the largest Return on Investment and which ones we shouldn't worry about.

How do you quickly sell a condo (with dozens available for sale in the surrounding blocks) and then buy a house that has everything you need and want (in an extremely competitive market)--all while trying to work from home in the middle of a pandemic? Hire Michelle! She even helped us find an excellent place to rent during the transition. She gets the real estate business from all sides, knows the shifting Puget Sound market and she understands people! She's one of the best, hardest-working negotiators I've ever met and helped us score great terms with our offer (that we hadn't even thought of to ask for), both before and after the inspection. Her hustle, intelligence, empathy, and ability to balance multiple backup plans going at once are exactly what you want in an agent. We had tons of concerns about the timing, process, safety and strategy of both selling and buying and Michelle anticipated most of those and then some--answering our questions quickly and thoroughly, with data to back it up, at any time of the day and sometimes late at night. She kept in constant communication with our lender and gave us regular updates and checklists to keep the whole process moving along speedily and smoothly. She helped us navigate a roller coaster day with 2 separate offer review deadlines and we ended up getting a house and garden we love. We could not ask for more and would recommend her to any friend or family member who wants to sell or buy (or both!) read more

As our real estate agent, Michelle Beckman was able to do the impossible:  she was able to sell my condo in the face of what felt like insurmountable barriers.  With the pandemic and a glut of condos for sale in our area, I was very anxious when we listed my condo. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find a buyer.  However, Michelle eased my fears throughout the process with her professional and extensive real estate knowledge. Her staging of my condo was so jaw-dropping amazing, I almost reconsidered wanting to sell! She thoroughly researched comps and clearly communicated to me how to price my condo in a way that enabled me to make a fair and informed decision. Whether it was early morning or late at night, she was prompt and responsive to all of my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process so that I always knew what would happen next. Michelle helped me understand the different marketing strategies and how to best increased buyer's traffic. And sure enough, with her strategic advice, we started to get multiple viewings in a very short time frame. After we received an offer, Michelle was a zealous advocate when it came time to negotiate, and she always had our financial best interests in mind.  We are now able to buy the house of our dreams because of Michelle's expertise and excellence as a real estate agent! read more

Michelle Beckman is THE BEST. The home buying process seemed very intimidating to my boyfriend and me as first time buyers, but she made it seamless as possible! With our initial in-person meeting with Michelle, she provided us with a timeline that broke down all the important home buying "milestones" (events such as home inspection, appraisal, final walk through, etc) to even due dates when money was due, which was very helpful! Michelle was very prompt with answering calls, e-mails and texts whenever we had a question or wanted to visit a house that sparked our interest. She did a lot of research ahead of time and was well prepared with details and history about the homes we were visiting. Not only that, but she takes into account our wants and needs in a home and gave us options to visit homes in a similar area and price range. With Michelle's hard work and dedication, she was able to get our offer accepted against 5 other offers and negotiated a great price on our new home! We appreciated how she gave us regular updates as soon as we completed a milestone on the home buying timeline so we were aware of what to expect next. We are so happy to have chosen Michelle Beckman as our real estate agent. She helped us achieve buying our first home and we cannot thank her enough. YOU ROCK MICHELLE! - Abby and Derek read more

Entering the home buying process in a new city, as first time home buyers, and during a global pandemic was needless to say, intimidating. Not knowing someone to give us a real estate agent referral did not make that any easier. After lots of research and reaching out to various agents, I am so grateful to have found Michelle. Michelle went above and beyond to be accessible and flexible- we had her running all over the city on an hours notice (looking at over 6 houses in two days). She was also incredibly knowledgeable and communicative about all steps of the home buying process (showings, contract, post contract, inspection, loan updates and final walk through) and was committed to helping make transaction steps as seamless as possible (and get us a great deal!). Especially important to us as first time home buyers, she was patient and thorough, answering all of our questions and laying out all of the steps so we knew what to expect (and what was expected of us) before we got there. Michelle was not only incredible at her job, but her warmth and energy made the home buying process, which can be stressful and intense, a true joy. If you are ever needing a real estate agent- consider this your referral! read more

Michelle is the hardest working realtor I've met, which is the #1 reason we chose to work with her. She hustled and helped us with every detail throughout the entire home buying process. If we had a question of any sort, Michelle was quick to answer us (at most all hours, even late at night!) And if she didnt have the answer she found it for us. One of my favorite things: we recieved updates with crucial and important deadlines and next steps in frequent emails. As first-time homebuyers those emails helped us make sense of how the entire process worked and feel confident when we needed to make decisions. She is also brutally honest about the positives and negatives when touring homes together. Michelle is constantly looking out for your best interest and makes sure you know everything you may be getting yourself into. Michelle helped us land a home in a competitive market, with low inventory, that met all of our very specific needs. And we won over a cash offer! We will definitely be working with Michelle in the future for our home buying or sales needs, you definitely should too. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. She was recommended to us from our mortgage broker and impressed me from the first day. Michelle made sure we were comfortable and knew exactly what to expect with each step of the buying process. This was our first home buying experience, so we really had no idea what to expect. She included an easy to read document with a time line and step by step instructions of the buying process. Everything worked seamlessly. I truly felt Michelle really cared about our long-term happiness when helping us evaluate houses. She was honest and thorough. We felt well guided and well taken care of. She made time to tour houses that fit with our hectic schedule, and reacted immediately to all of our requests. She provided valuable information that neither myself or my partner would have thought to ask about. Once we found a house that we loved, she used her expertise to help us beat out multiple other offers on a beautiful home. I would recommend Michelle to anyone, and will call her for all our future real estate needs. read more

My wife and I cannot recommend Michelle enough! We started the process of searching for our first home not even quite a month after the birth of our first child. We were strapped for time, and did not have any background in buying a home, and really didn't know what to expect (especially during COVID). Michelle could not have made things more simple, straightforward, understandable, and achievable. It was clear from every interaction we had with Michelle that customer service means the a great deal to her. She checked in with us regularly to see how we were doing, if any questions were arising, if she could be of any help at all. She was always prompt and thorough in responding to our questions, no matter what day of the week, or time of day we sent them. In fact, she typically would expand on our questions providing even more insight. She had clearly done research on every home we looked at, and was ready and willing to share her insights and opinions. I can't, and don't want to, imagine going through this process with any other agent. read more

We can't recommend Michelle highly enough! As newbie homeowners selling our condo, we were a bit nervous about the process, but Michelle made it incredibly seamless. From the very beginning, Michelle was helpful, communicative, and supportive every single step of the way. She truly went above and beyond, even scrubbing our balcony herself to help get the place sale-ready. Her attention to detail and willingness to roll up her sleeves made all the difference. Michelle always made herself available to answer our (many) questions and kept us updated at every stage--preparing, listing, negotiating the contract, and beyond. We felt completely confident in her judgment and appreciated how seamless she made the entire transaction. She also hired top-notch professional vendors to ensure our condo was in the best possible condition for the sale. Thanks to her expertise and hard work, we sold quickly and couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and outstanding realtor, Michelle is the one! read more
