Michelle Ripley's Reviews & Ratings

Tell us about your experience with
Michelle Ripley

    • I loved working with Michelle and her team. They were professional and responsive to our questions. Michelle spent a lot of time with my husband and I giving us feedback on how to get our home ready to sell and what to expect during the selling process. Michelle is an incredible negotiator, we were able to get $25,000 over asking price plus another $10,000 in concessions. I highly recommend Michelle and the Ripley Real Estate Team.

      - Paige C. (Oro Valley, AZ)
    • My evaluation of Michelle and the Ripley group that worked incredibly hard and long to get my place sold is that they are a special bunch of very nice people. Michelle has contacts that she has gathered over the years that allow her to workout a problem. We had plenty as we progressed and she just went after them as though it was routine. She has a special talent for working with people to get things accomplished. In the final days of the sale there were several negotiating issues that came up and as one might expect she managed to wrangle them all to the better and we ended up closing like nothing I've seen before. I do hope the buyer is pleased with what they purchased. It's a fine place with a good future and thanks to Michelle and the people she works with it will be better from the work they did. God Bless Michelle Ripley, her organization and all they did to complete the sale of "the Ranch".

      - Tom B. (Tucson, AZ)
    • What can I say? Im a licensed Broker in another state and Michelle was the BEST choice to represent us in Tucson. She anticipated any challenges and was proactive as our fiduciary. She demonstrated very strong negotiation skills and advised us wisely every step of the way. I will send all of my referrals her direction. Hire Michelle if you want the best!

      - Diane J. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and her team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable and efficient. The entire process from touring houses, to making an offer to closing could not have gone better. We definitely recommend the Ripley team!

      - Miles J. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and her team were awesome to work with! She helped us view a home in the Heritage Hills subdivision that hadn't hit the market yet. When we fell in love with it, she helped negotiate a price that saved us from paying top dollar. Her knowledge and professionalism are top notch. We couldn't be happier in our new home. Thank you!!!!

      - N. Schleter (Tucson, AZ)
    • Stacey Hinojos was appointed to represent me as a buyer agent by her broker, Michelle Ripley/listing agent. In realtor business, you try to strive the best decision you make in every transaction, but you still need an agent. How can I evaluate Stacey? She was sincere, professional and easy to work with. She replied all texts or phone calls. She provided my requests in timely manner. Should I contact or use Stacey again either as a seller/buyer agent? Yes! I highly recommend Stacey Hinojos. Thank you for your services, Stacey!

      - Darren D. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and the entire Ripley Team are fantastic! Professional, personable, and efficient. Our home sold in 2 days with no hiccups. Highly recommended and we would contract with them again if buying or selling

      - Marci G. (Tucson, AZ)
    • If you are looking for a house in the Oro Valley area Michelle Ripley is the only realtor to USE. Michelle showed us houses that were available and as close to our needs as possible. When we picked a house that we thought would work the first thing she said was that she needed the night to do comps to make sure we were not overpaying for the house. If it is possible for my jaw to hit the floor, it came close. Never had I had a realtor worry about what we were paying for a house...Most realtors only show you a house that they or their agency have listed so they receive the higher commission! They also just want a quick sale with no regard if the house really fits your needs. In the end we decided to live in Florida and dealing with realtors there was exactly like the poor behavior mentioned above. Michelle Ripley is the epitome of what a realtor should be and sets the standard for what realtor qualities should be!! Thank You, Michelle

      - Dell B. (Oro Valley, AZ)
    • My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Miguel Mendez and it was amazing. He was with us every step of the way and went above and beyond in all aspects.

      - Daniel M. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle Ripley is absolutely outstanding and in a league of her own. Many agents as experienced, busy and knowledgeable as she is, don't necessarily take the time to truly listen, care and genuinely want to help. Michelle absolutely does. She helped us considerably before we even listed with her by spending time listening to our situation/needs and then providing us with invaluable input, education and resources. Thank you, Michelle, we look forward to working with you going forward!

      - Cindy B. (Tucson, AZ)
    • I recently had the pleasure of working with Ripley to sell our house. On the 1st open house, we got an offer right away. It was only 2 days on the market Can you believe it. Only 3 weeks, I am done with all closing escrow. Awesome job!, Ripley! We follow her advices from our initial conversations and throughout the whole process. If you follow all her list, you will absolutely sell your house fast with a good price, Ripley was very professional. She was highly knowledgeable about the local market. She was always available to answer any questions we had throughout the process. Thank you so much for your help with selling our home., Ripley. You are the best realtor, Ripley.

      - Khanh P. (Tucson, AZ)
    • My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Miguel. He was with us through the entire process. He was very understanding of our situation, stayed in contact through every change, conversation, and made us feel very relaxed about how our situation would be handled. There are no words that could express the amount of gratitude and appreciation we have for him. Thank you!

      - Mahalia B. (Tucson, AZ)
    • We were Blessed beyond measure to HAVE Michelle and her team not only help us purchase our Townhouse, but when School was done and time to move on to another chapter, she helped us with all of our selling. I tell you There is no better firm than Ripley. She took every one of my calls, answered every email and helped settle me through the sales process. She is a keeper. The worst thing about our experience... is leaving Tucson ???? and Michelle. Great to know we have made new friends to visit. Thank you Michelle! God Bless you and Steve. We so appreciate your expertise and friendship.

      - The Sandbergs (Tucson, AZ)
    • I have had a 5 star experience with this group, specifically realtor Miguel. We hit a few hiccups during the process of buying our house, and Miguel was always available and helped us work through whatever came up. As a first time homebuyer, I highly recommend Miguel and I feel like we couldn't have found a better person to help us!

      - Susan G. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and Steve are amazing! We have bought two houses and sold one with them so far. One area we loved most about them is their ability to, not only, show great property options for you to select from, but also, if the home was sold, which properties would generate the most profit. They also make sure the building itself is solid, are onsite for any critical estimates, repairs, and walk-thru, etc will style your home, and so many more little things. The bottom line is they WILL get you the best property possible for your dollar or sell your property for the most money possible for that market. All of this and add the friendliest, kindest, professional, go-getter people you will have the pleasure to know. What are you waiting for? HIRE RIPLEYS LUXURY REAL ESTATE GROUP!

      - Aimee T. (Tucson, AZ)
    • I've worked with Steve at Ripley's twice one when purchasing a home and the other when selling a property. In both instances Steve went above and beyond providing updated information and answering multiple questions from myself and family members. We were also very pleased with the outcomes of both transactions. Since then Steve has also been available to provide information and services to family members and myself in a timely and professional way. Ripley's Luxury Real Estate Group is a rare find these days as they continue to provide professional services and handle their clients with friendly integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend them and will continue to work with them in the future.

      - Kimba (Tucson, AZ)
    • Gordon and I have bought and sold properties with the RIPLEY'S. Always Professional and up to date on Tucson's market. Could not ask for two more sweeter agents in Pima county. They work hard for you and earn their money.

      - Peggy C. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Extremely professional. A pleasure to work with.

      - Jerry M. (Tucson, AZ)
    • As a realtor myself, I can't speak highly enough about Michelle Ripley. My husband and I moved to the Tucson area nearly 4 years ago, and I met Michelle as the seller's agent for a home we were interested in. Alas, the home was no longer available when we were ready to buy, but she found us the perfect house. From start to finish (during which we were out of town the majority of the time), she was on top of every aspect, and kept us in the loop. Michelle and Steven Ripley are a wonderful team!

      - Sherie S. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Wonderful experience! Michelle made purchasing my first home super easy!

      - Broderick C. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Very knowledgeable and experienced. Being a first-time homebuyer, I had one thousand questions and they helped me to understand every single answer. We found a great deal for our home in November and will definitely be choosing The Ripley Team when it's time for an upgrade.

      - Melissa N. (Tucson, AZ)
    • I had a great experience working with Michelle Ripley for my second home purchase with her group. Being in real estate myself in a different state, I was looking for professionalism, years of experience, and knowledge of the area. Michelle and her team certainly delivered. She met all my expectations and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Tucson/Oro Valley/ Marana (and there are probably more...) areas!

      - Sheri I. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Went above and beyond to find us the perfect home. We have moved fairly often; attention and effort by Michelle was unparalleled.

      - Sean S. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Four years ago we met Michelle Ripley at an open house, and decided when we were ready to purchase a home, Michelle would be our agent. Well, the time finally came, and Michelle exceeded our expectations as a Realtor. From the first email with listings we may be interested in, to close of Escrow, Michelle was there to answer every question we had, take us to open houses, line up all the inspectors, and kept us informed the entire time. Even more, we were out of state buyers, which made it that much more complicated for Michelle and ourselves! We could not have been happier with Michelle and her team, and highly recommend her as your agent.

      - Jay M. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Our experience with Michelle started over the phone. The plan was to speak with 3 different realtors and then make a decision as to whom we would use. After speaking with Michelle for at least an hour we knew she was the right choice to sell our mom's home. It was important to have a realtor that could work with our elderly mother and still communicate all of the processes with us as we lived half way across the country. Her portfolio, personality and market knowledge were exceptional. In the end the house sold for above asking and Michelle and her team did an amazing job! If looking for a realtor in the Tucson area I highly recommend contacting Michelle for your real estate needs! A big THANK YOU to Michelle and Ripley's Luxury Real Estate for everything!

      - Paul N. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and her team worked out very well for me. I was not living locally so I had to rely on the sales agent (Sayde) for my entire transaction. It went very well and I am happy with my new property. Thank you so much to you and your team!

      - Carol C. (Tucson, AZ)
    • We very much appreciated having Michelle as our realtor. She found the perfect home for us when we first moved to Tucson, and now she sold that home for us when we needed to downsize, and found another one for us that we love. She has the skill to find exactly what the client is looking for. We knew we could count on Michelle again to help us. She was patient with us, and gave us as much of her time as we needed. She was prompt in returning calls or emails, and could always answer our questions. She is very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. She also was very good at negotiating when we needed that. We are happily satisfied with Michelle. We can't thank her enough for finding the house we love. From start to finish, Michelle quickly and seamlessly got everything done for us. We would highly recommend Michelle Ripley.

      - Barnett (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and her team were delightful!! So patient. Our circumstances were very unusual and difficult. Everyone involved, including the title agency, were wonderful.

      - Nell M. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Long process, many offers that fell through on selling my home and buying another. 3 months of back and forth. Texting, emailing, DocUsigning, phone calls. Showing homes to us that the wife didn't like and I did. Showing homes my wife liked, but I didn't. Following through on offers we made. Throughout this long process, Michelle never let me down and was on top of things the whole way. Her and her staff were the greatest to work with. I can't imagine a better agent. Her knowledge and professionalism were outstanding. She worked very hard for me on each offer and gave very good advice along the way. On top of all that, she is a very nice person.

      - Jimbo (Tucson, AZ)
    • They are excellent realtors! They made selling my house so easy for me. They took all of the burden off of me so I could focus on my move and getting situated in a new city. They were timely, professional, down to earth and kept me informed on every step of the process. I can thank or recommend them enough!

      - Alicia W. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle is an exceptional realtor. She goes out of her way to assure the buyer has the best opportunities for a home purchase and her depth of knowledge, contacts, and skills are simply incredible. Her office administrative person, said Daily is also exceptional. They are professional, timely, and know their profession. I would highly recommend them.

      - Kim K. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle Ripley did an amazing job selling the house. We live in another state so we had to depend on her to assist with various issues that arose during the process. She was extremely professional and helpful. She knows the housing market well and how to price a home. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable realtor.

      - Michelle G. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Incredibly talented individuals who possess hard work ethic and quality results!

      - Josh B. (Tucson, AZ)
    • I cannot express enough gratitude to the Niles/Ripley team for their hard work and dedication when it came to my husband and I purchasing our new home. We were involved in a simultaneous close having to sell our old home in order to purchase our new one and it came down to THE WIRE. Michelle and her team made the impossible happen. When I say the wire, I'm talking hours. Hours between us and possibly being homeless for 2 or 3 nights. Thank all of the angels for the Niles/Ripley team...we got keys! Michelle and her team are extremely professional, kind, and very very hard working. Every question was answered, multiple walk thus were done to ensure our home was move in ready. Please, if you are looking to buy or sell a home, use the Niles/Ripley team. You will not regret it! BEST IN TUCSON!!

Not only was I happy with the result but also with the process. Michelle, Steve and their team made it painless to sell and were available throughout the process. Thank you very much.

      - Nick F. (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle was incredible!! Very nice to work with, knowledgeable, honest and on top of things from the beginning of the process all the way to the end.

    • Michelle and Steve are great people and great to work with. They are truly concerned about your needs and interested in your input. They have been excellent in helping us prepare our home for sale. Their promptness in communication have made things go smooth and easy. Aside from that, they have the knowledge and up to date technical skills to market your home. They put a lot of work in to making sure your home is seen by many sites on the internet and social media. I feel confident that they have left no stone unturned to get our house seen. You will definitely benefit by choosing them.

      - T.Lutz (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle and her team went above and beyond to help facilitate the sale of my house in Arizona. On my behalf she tirelessly recommended, worked and followed-up with electricians, roofers, inspectors, landscapers, handy-men and my escrow officer to get this property on the market and sold in no time. I am eternally grateful for all the effort, energy and goodwill Michelle put into this house, which was in a sad state when I inherited it and was shining by the time we sold it. Thank you, Michelle and team; you are the best of the best!!

      - I. Monad (Tucson, AZ)
    • Michelle helped us buy our home and is now helping to sell it. There is no other realtor that knows the business better or is more honest. There was no doubt in our minds which realtor we would use to help us sell our house. She has always exceeded our expectations and is the only one we would recommend.

      - The Boleys (Tucson, AZ)

    • We are exceptionally pleased with the highly professional and personal support Sherie Star gave us during our quest for our 28th home! She led us to many homes all in our envelope of interest. Her patience was amazing as we looked and re-looked and pondered our options. Her recommendations for loans and a home inspector were superb. We truly felt she was our partner in the effort!

    • A year ago my husband and I were looking for our first home and were recommended to work with Stephen. Man he did such a great job helping us.. we were not in Tucson at the time so he would FaceTime us showing us homes that we were interested in. He went out of his way to help us and we really appreciate it. We bought a house via FaceTime, once we arrived to Tucson all we had to do was sign papers. Stephen made our experience so great and easy. We thank him for that. We now have almost lived and our home for a year and couldn't be any happier!! Thanks Stephen!!
