Michelle Tsai

    • I chose Michelle based on the numerous positive Yelp reviews. I hired her as my listing and selling agent back in Jan this year. I smoothly and successfully sold my 2 houses and bought 1 house within 2 months. I have never felt the need to write a review myself but Michelle changed my mind. I could not be happier to have her help me go through the entire complicated process. Everything was under control; her thoughtfulness and professionalism earned my 100% trust. I am a very detailed oriented person but before I even had a chance to worry about a certain aspect, she was already on top of the matter and had taken care of it for me. She truly puts her clients above all else as her #1 priority. Not only is she hard working but she is also extremely ethical in her business practice. Since we have finished closing escrow, we have even become good friends. I strongly encourage you to consider giving her a try.

      - Christine P. from Yorba Linda
    • Working with Michelle was the best experience ever. She made home buying non stressful. I would recommend her to all my friends.

      - Raquel W. from Chino
    • Michelle is so incredible. I would give 10 superstars if I could. She is not only working so hard to sell our house, but she is also showing a lot of patience trying to get the best deal from the buyers. I always wonder where she gets all the energy from. She is really a tremendous real estate agent that I would recommend to anyone who want to sell house(I am sure she is also a good buyer agent too :):):)

      - Cathy H. from Brea
    • We were extremely happy with Michelle and her team as our agents. We were first time home buyers and as such, had no clue whatsoever about the home buying process. Michelle explained everything to us and we were able to close the escrow on time without any trouble at all. She is very knowledgeable about the whole process. Even after we finished the process and moved in, we stay in touch with her about other queries and concerns as first time buyers and she is extremely quick to respond and very helpful. We would definitely recommend Michelle and her team(Brandy and Yvette) to anybody looking for an agent!!

      - Monil D. from Orange
    • Michelle is simply the best and I would not have wanted to work with anybody else! My fiance and I are first time home buyers and have absolutely no idea what we're doing or what the process is, but Michelle made everything super simple and easy for us. She always made time for us in her busy schedule to reply to emails and text messages and showed us the properties that we were interested as well as coming up with potential new places for us to look at. She is also very knowledgable about the market and laws and answered all of our questions we had along the way. Michelle and her team were vigilant in making sure we understood everything that was going on and that deadlines were being met. She is professional, sweet, and really easy to work with. We would definitely go back to her again the next time we move! :)

      - Dannelle C. from Orange County
    • Michelle is the best agent I have ever known.I met Michelle at one of her open houses in Brea in Oct, 2015. I didn't buy that house, didn't even make any offer. However, by asking her some questions about that property, I felt she was nice and professional. So, in April, 2016, when my wife and I decided to sell our condo and buy a new house, we hired Michelle to help us through the transition.Not kidding at all, we got 7 offers within 6 days. And the final deal was way over our expectation. I was surprised that Michelle wasn't just by herself like the other agents. She had an entire professional team working for us. She had photographers, she had a design team to make beautiful flyers, she had an amazing staging team and she even offered the house cleaning. We quickly sold our condo at a very satisfying number. And luckily, we knew what we liked and what we wanted for our new house, and Michelle provided us the very professional information and assistance, so we bought a new house as planed. Michelle helped us through the transition successfully as planed. I learned so much from her and couldn't thank her enough for this incredible moment of our lives.Based on my own experience, Michelle is the best agent I have ever known. I had nothing to complain about her. She was way over our expectation.

      - Stanly L. from Yorba Linda
    • This review for Michelle Tsai and her team. We were first time home buyers and Michelle worked very patiently with us to find the best property to fit what we needed as a family. We never felt pushed or pressured so that she could make a sale. It was evident that she wanted us to be informed and educated before we made decisions. Michelle took the time to ensure that we understood contracts and the long term potential of each property. After we purchased our home she has diligently followed up and keep a positive relationship with us. Michelle has a very kind heart and soul. We enjoyed working with her and Brandy and HIGHLY recommend her to friends and family. In the future we will go to her for our real estate needs.

      - Nicole K. from Brea
    • Michelle is the agent you would invent for yourself if you could - someone incredibly on top of things, totally honest, super responsive to your concerns, 100% on your side and ready to fight and advocate for your interests. As busy and in-demand as she is, she always made us feel like her only and most important client.I first met Michelle at an open house, just browsing at the time, and she immediately impressed me with her energetic and positive attitude. Throughout the process of searching for a house, making an offer, getting through escrow, and even finding good contractors, Michelle and her team was a dream to work with. Being completely new to the home buying process, I can't tell you how reassuring it was to have Michelle by our side, paying attention to details that we missed and she could have easily let slide. We felt like we were in very good, very caring hands.On the day we closed, she made a special trip out to meet me because she knew how anxious I was to get started with painting and other work that we wanted done. It was only later that she confessed that it was her birthday, but she was working in order to be there to help a number of her clients that needed her!That's the kind of agent, and person, Michelle is, and I can't recommend her highly enough. This is our first home purchase and as nervewracking as it was at times, Michelle's true professionalism, integrity, and warmth put us ease throughout each stage and each hurdle. Thank you Michelle and Brandy for your patience and your help in finding us this beautiful home!

      - Oliver W. from Irvine
    • Michelle came to me highly recommended from a good friend of mine after having tried a few realtors previously to sell my home.From day one to the day of closing of our home , her dedication , professionalism and honesty was far and above anything that we have experienced before . In addition, her knowledge of the housing market and how to get the house ready for selling was truly amazing. We had previously tried 2 other agents, but the difference in dedication , motivation and knowledge was very clear from day one .When we ran into a couple of delays during escrow from the buyer's side, andMichelle worked and fought hard to protect us with a renegotiated contract to make sure we were compensated for any delays.Michelle's passion, energy, and goal in making her clients happy was self evident and our trust for her was never in question.She made what would otherwise be a stressful time, into a pleasant experience for our family every step of the way.Not only would I strongly recommend her for selling your home but also if you are looking to buy a home , Michelle is not only an outstanding agent but also an amazing person . I had the most amazing experience and couldn't thank her or her team enough for that .

      - Amina M. from Yorba Linda
    • Michelle was absolutely a pleasure to work with. We looked at many, many properties with her over three years and even made a few offers. During that period, Michelle was always friendly, patient, and very responsive to our questions and concerns despite us changing our criteria at times. Not a single time did we feel pressured to make a purchase. When we finally found a place we were in love with, Michelle made the whole home-buying process as smooth as it can be, because as everyone knows, a million things could go wrong during home inspection and escrow. Even after we moved into our new place, Michelle has kept in touch and maintained a positive relationship to this date. Thank you very much Michelle! We can't recommend you enough!!

      - E. W. from Brea
    • Michelle was absolutely fantastic! If you're looking for an agent who cares and genuinely wants the best for you/your family, look no further!Having gone through the home buying/selling process several times and working with different agents, Michelle was by far the best agent we've worked with. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. She explains the whole process to you and walks you through all the paperwork so you are aware of everything going on throughout the transaction. Communication was on point too. There was never a time that I wasn't able to reach her or someone from her team, whether through phone, text or email. She definitely makes the stressful home buying/selling process a lot less stressful!I recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a real estate agent, and will continue to use her for all my real estate needs.

      - Jodes H. from Brea
    • Michelle is by far the best real estate professional we have worked with. My wife and I met Michelle a few years back when we were searching for our new home. We noticed how genuine she was towards us as well as other potential buyers at her client's grand open house.Recently my wife and I decided to sell our home in Brea and we knew exactly who to call to help sell our home. We immediately felt comfortable and trusted her sound judgment as she walked us through her thoughts and as she learned more about us and our goals.There is a reason, several actually, why she is a top agent in OC. She listens to her clients and executes on her promises. One of the things we truly admired about Michelle was her attention to detail. It was the small details that made the biggest difference.I will recommend Michelle and her team to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home. You will be glad that you went with the best there is. Her communication was thorough and immediate. We appreciated her cadence with the updates she would provide us to update us on the status.It is very rare to find a professional in this field who operates with a high level of integrity and passion that Michelle has.Reach out to Michelle, you will glad you did!

      - J R. from Fullerton
    • We were introduced to Michelle by friends and as a first-time homebuyer, we couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She made the entire experience so easy and smooth for us. It took us a little over one month to find and close on our first home! And in that short period of time, she helped explain everything patiently, she made sure we were always comfortable during the process, and was always on top of any questions, concerns, or issues that came up. She always made herself available to us anytime... no idea how she does it haha! Working with her, you know she wants the best for you and your family and that she'll fight for you. She is genuine, kind, and generous. We never once felt like we weren't important to her and that says so much about her and her character. And now we consider Michelle a great and dear friend. I honestly never expected to ever meet a realtor like her. She's truly a blessing to our family.

      - Danny L. from Irvine
    • Michelle is extremely professional with all her clients and always gives 150% effort in everything she does. I've never met a more hard-working individual, and it has been such a pleasure knowing her. Michelle really takes the time to know you as a person, your needs, your goals/wishes, and does everything in her power to make things happen. Her results speak for themselves.Michelle helped me sell my house last year and I'd recommend her as the #1 agent to go to for any property you're interested in buying/selling.

      - Jennifer K. from Brea
    • Michelle and her staff are amazing. We could have not asked for a better agent. She is very responsive and goes above and beyond to take care of her clients. I'm so thankful we chose her to represent us during what is usually a stressful experience.

      - Stephanie from Los Angeles
    • Michelle Tsai and team are an invaluable part of any new home journey. From the very moment my wife and I contacted her she and her team have been in constant contact with total compassion and professionalism. We had a long story in purchasing our home but Michelle, her unparalleled experience, and vast resources closed our escrow ahead of schedule with no hiccups. If you are looking to purchase, sell, lease, etc. give Michelle Tsai a call and get some insight. I highly recommend Michelle for such an important life decision.

      - Jay K. from Montclair
    • Worthy of more than 5 stars!Michelle and her team are absolutely amazing in every sense. If you're looking for a realtor, whether it's buying, selling or renting, then look no further. Michelle is simply the best of the best!Hardworking, determined and professional are just some of the qualities she possesses. I can't say enough great things about her.After selling my property in Anaheim I needed to find a new place to move in almost immediately. Just my luck I was able to find a property that had everything I was looking for. I contacted the agent who was Michelle and from the moment I met her she was a pleasure to work with. She's extremely personable and made the entire process very smooth. From phone calls to emails, her communication was very thorough and great. Thanks to her everything felt expedited and she always made me feel like I was her only client by going above and beyond every time.Thank you Michelle for the phenomenal job you did in finding my home. Like I said, YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST! Such a pleasure to work with.

      - Rudy H. from Orange County
    • I cannot express how blessed we feel to have met Michelle a few years ago, as my family and I were in search of the perfect home. We met her at one of her open houses and she stayed in touch with us over the years, periodically checking in, and genuinely caring about what our needs were as a family. She was never pushy or overbearing, yet always available when needed. After 2 years of searching, we found a home we fell in love with and there was no doubt that we'd call Michelle to be our agent. She helped us with every detail and stayed on top of the entire transaction. As working parents with young children, there was so much that could've slipped through the cracks, but Michelle and her team were always there to keep us on track. After successfully opening escrow on our new home, we put our current home on the market....during COVID! Michelle was so professional to ensure the greatest care was taken as people entered our home...and was able to get multiple offers within days of being on the market! We have already referred Michelle and her team to several friends and will continue to do that. If you want an agent you can trust, one that has your best interest in mind and one that is detail oriented, then do not hesitate to call Michelle. She'll get it done!

      - Karen S. from Santa Ana
    • Michelle made a genuine first impression during our first meeting at an open house. During this frustrating pandemic we were reluctant to list our property due to the unstable economy. Michelle reassured us that the serious buyers will be looking for homes regardless. We trusted Michelle with our property and it sold in three weeks! Throughout the process, Michelle and her team were communicating with us every few days. Michelle herself would come by our property to disinfect our house and flooring thoroughly after each showing. We are truly grateful for having Michelle as our realtor. She is passionate with her job and will accommodate both seller and buyer as much as she can. We highly recommend Michelle and her wonderful team. She is knowledgeable, dependable and her SINCERITY shines!! Remarkable people are rare, keep up the marvelous work Michelle.

      - E. T. from Huntington Beach
    • 5 star rating for a 5 star Realtor like Michelle. I can't recommend Michelle enough & I don't know how someone could/would not be pleased with the incredible service, knowledge, attention, experience, and truly genuine care and concern that Michelle brings.In our efforts to find that dream home for our family, we were in a situation that was extra fast paced with a lot of moving parts and Michelle led the way and expertly helped navigate us through toward what ended up being a dream come true kind of result! In being the complete package as a Realtor, the true care and concern, the deep knowledge of her craft, the phenomenal team and partners that she surrounds herself with, the detail oriented focus and just the dedication and commitment is nothing short of phenomenal. I can honestly say that my family and I have been blessed and honored to know and have worked with her. Oh and the reviews collectively I think speak volumes - yes, Michelle really is that good!

      - Christina W. from Seal Beach
    • Michelle is detailed oriented, caring, friendly, professional, experienced, knowledgeable, diligent, you name it, she has it. She and her team including Bryan and Samantha closely coordinates during the course of selling and buying and their effectiveness is amazingly impressive. She has helped us sell four properties so far and we are so satisfied with everything. She really stands out of the crowds and we highly recommend her in realizing your dreams.

      - George Y. from San Francisco
    • I have known Michelle for many years now and I just recently reached out her as I'm looking to sell my home. This is the 3rd time Michelle will be representing me and my husband in the sale and purchase of a home. I did not even think to interview anyone else as I know she and her team will have my best interest at heart. She is professional, hard working and trustworthy and would not hesitate to recommend her! Buying a house can be very stressful especially in these uncertain times, but she has always been there every step of the way, even when I was faced with difficult decisions. She supported us and gave us true and honest advice and know she will always continue to do so.

      - Adriana V. from Ontario Ranch
    • Amazing! Awesome! Wow!Selling & purchasing a home during the pandemic are herculean challenges. Luckily, Michelle Tsai was my agent who facilitated the stressful situation. Furthermore, my sister and I both sold our Yorba Linda homes in 2020. And of course, our agent was Michelle.From listing, negotiation, inspection, home warranty and more--Michelle addressed all these areas. She is very experienced and skillful in the real estate industry. Her time management is very efficient; always clear and direct.I certainly strongly Michelle. I give 5 stars

      - Marc P. from Fullerton
    • Moving was something our family knew we wanted to do but we were also dreading it, and that's before factoring in the pandemic. On top of that we were moving from a larger home to a smaller home during a time when demand for smaller homes was higher than ever. We decided to go with Michelle because she consistently sold the most houses in our old neighborhood over a long period of time (we saw her signs everywhere), and I am so glad we did.From the first day that we met with her she was so thoughtful, hardworking, and thorough. She made it as easy on us as possible, which was important as our family did not have any experience selling or buying houses. She walked us through everything step by step, and with her expertise everything went very smoothly. She has a team to help with different things (staging, photos, 3d videos, etc.) and she knows lots of people if you need help with anything house related (inspection, renovations, repairs, etc.)It's obvious she takes a lot of pride in her work, and her positivity and work ethic helped us get through the buying and selling process as fast as possible. We sold our house immediately at a price we were very happy with. Any questions we had she was always happy to answer, and we were in constant communication with her throughout. Even after we had moved into the new house and the entire process was finished, she went out of her way to check in on us despite her busy schedule.Working with Michelle was a fantastic experience, I really can't ask for more from a realtor and I would highly recommend her to anybody that needs one.

    • First of all, Michelle is the one of the nicest and most genuine person you will ever meet. She is also the best of the best at her job, super knowledgable and professional, and her personal assistants do an amazing job too!When we first started our home search with Michelle, we were looking at new builds in a new community. Michelle helped us speak to the Builder Sales rep after hearing we were interested, did her research in that community, and informed us of the process. We eventually put down a deposit, and started to sign the purchase contract from the Builder. Michelle made sure to go through every single page and explained clauses that were unclear or unfair to us as the Buyer. After much consideration, we decided it was best to look at resale homes instead, due to unfavorable clauses in the purchase contract. We were contingent Buyers, so it was best to not risk it.About a month later, my husband and I found a home we really loved online. Michelle made an appointment with the listing agent, and we went to view this home with COVID safety gear provided by Michelle (masks, hand sanitizer, gloves, shoe covers). She was prepared and the Seller was even impressed with her professionalism. This was the first home we walked into and thought "this is the perfect home for us". Michelle helped us write an offer, and it was eventually accepted by the Sellers.Now our biggest challenge was to sell our home before the loan contingency removal date. Michelle was strategic. She always gave us options and informed us of tactics in order to pull in more offers. Eventually we received multiple offers on our home, and we were able to close escrow within 30 days to purchase our new house. After closing escrow, we closed escrow on our new home a week after that. Couldn't have done it without Michelle and her awesome team!Michelle and her team deserve 5/5 for service, professionalism, and knowledge. Would definitely recommend her to family and friends!
