Michaela Schmidlin

★★★★★
"Michaela Schmidlin is the best real estate agent I’ve ever worked with. She helped us sell a home in record time, she helped us buy a condo, and she coordinated both sides of these deals with efficiency and integrity. Michaela is realistic, intelligent, knows exactly what she’s doing, gives excellent advice, listens carefully, and communicates quickly and thoroughly. She worked with our schedules as out-of-towners with agility, was always prompt at appointments and in returning answers by email, text, or phone, and she managed our complicated multi-family needs with understanding. She and Firefly Realty at Keller Williams have pulled together an excellent team to make the deals move smoothly from all sides in buying and selling. She also has multiple outside services to recommend for inspections and to get estimates for repair costs for buyers and sellers. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly whether you want to buy or sell." - Mary

"I knew right from the start I’d made the right choice with Michaela and...I knew right away she was who I wanted to work with! I needed someone who could move at my pace, attention to details, responsive, pivot quickly, essentially on top of their game, Michaela was that and more. She followed through when she said she would, she understood me as a buyer and adapted to my needs. When things popped up through the contracting process, as they often do, she was quick to call or get it handled! Buying across state lines can be daunting, but she was transparent and informative about the process, filling in the gaps about the NC state nuances. Her and her team were quick to work with us and pack in showings with our limited availability. Once we went under contract, we worked with the extended group which had the same level of expertise and follow up. Thank you Michaela for your partnership throughout this process! Rest assured if I’m able to persuade the rest of my family to make the move up here eventually, I will be referring them to you!" - Crystal

"I met Michaela walking in Montford when I was staying at an airbnb nearby. We immediately connected over some shared similar experience and travels. I connected with her the next year when I became serious about moving back to the town I grew up in, Asheville. We toured at least twice and stayed in touch for three years. I found Michaela to be personable, wise about market practices and the area in general and just an all around good person. She stayed in touch with me, kept me abreast of the market and highlighted upcoming listings. In the end, I decided not to come back to NC but she had a pulse on what I wanted, which was different from what I thought I wanted originally (HA!) and was showing me the exact properties that would have fit for me. The only reason I didn't give her 5 * rating for negotiation is that we didn't actually negotiate a transaction but Michaela is a seasoned professional and I recommend her without any reservation."- Elizabeth

"Working with Michaela was an excellent experience! She was available when I needed her the most and communicated effectively with all parties involved. Michaela provided lots of value and an expert opinion, she very clearly laid out all options and explained the pros and cons of each. I never felt in the dark about anything and received regular updates from Michaela. I would work with her again, 10/10!"- Will

"Michaela was amazing. We recently purchased a home in West Asheville and Michaela and the team were unbelievable. Michaela knows her stuff, she knows the market and the community. She was a wealth of knowledge as my husband and I are relatively new to Asheville. However, we are seasoned buyers and I can assure you in all of our years of home buying/selling we have never had such a smooth, efficient, thorough experience as we had under Michaela’s Professional and personal eye. We will only work with Michaela for future purchases. Definitely recommend."- Brad & Chris

"Michaela was an awesome, knowledgeable, and highly responsive realtor! In an extremely hot market, she understood the importance of moving quickly and helped us to get the house of our dreams. We were looking for a vacation home and live out of state. When she sent us a listing for a house we really liked and we wanted to see, but we weren't able to get there in time, she drove an hour to the house on the same day in order to give us a video walk through. We ended up submitting an offer on the house without ever seeing it in person beforehand because we were so confident in Michaela. And she didn't disappoint. When we finally got to see the house in person, it was like a dream come true for our family! Thank you Michaela!"- Katie

"We're FINALLY homeowners thanks to Michaela! It was a long arduous road for all of us (her especially, I'm sure), but after 2 years of on and off searching in an insane market we finally found the perfect fit for our growing family with (most) all the qualities we had hoped for when we started this journey. It wasn't our first offer that we made during that time either...over the course of looking we made 4 in total! My husband and I both liked the sound advice she gave us and also that she made little hesitation to draw up offers for us even when we decided on a different buying price or terms than what she recommended. It was important to us to feel supported but not coerced during such a monumental decision. At no point during our scouting did we ever feel ignored or way-sided, Michaela is a rapid-rate responder! Even on the occasion when she was unable to meet us at showings, instead of delaying she sent another agent of her team to meet us, which we were very grateful for. Michaela always made us feel like our comfortability in "the search" was her main concern. She pushed us to make hard decisions in a timely manner, but also gave us space to reflect or take a breather during the hunt whenever we asked. When we were ready to pull the trigger, Michaela was a speed demon on getting questions answered and offers sent! We're soooo thankful for all of her time and diligence."- Shannon

"Michaela is very organized and responsive to questions that you might have. She is very professional and clear with her communication. She was also very involved in the process and made sure that I had all of my issues addressed and questions answered. She gave great advice in all areas of the process and helped me to not worry about things I shouldn't. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a real estate agent."- Judy
