A Word From My Clients
I truly enjoyed working with Michelle on the sale of my home. She knows what buyers are looking for, she knows the market, and she knows how to get top dollar for your home. I acted on every one of her recommendations, and it paid off as my home sold quickly and for well over listing price! Additionally, she is compassionate and VERY helpful throughout the process. I highly recommend Michelle Delin as a real estate agent!

Michelle is a fabulous realtor and person! She knows the market, she knows the business, she is incredibly detail oriented and responsive. She was on top of everything. I generally find the process of buying and selling extremely overwhelming, but I NEVER felt that way with Michelle. She answered all my questions, even ones I didn’t think to ask! She’d talk me through any concerns I had. She’s honest and expresses her views but is never pushy or judgmental - she just makes sure you have all the information you need to make good decisions. I never had to ask what the next step was - she guided me through the process from start to finish seamlessly in an extremely difficult market. Plus, her many referrals (I.e. mortgage broker, inspector, etc) were top notch. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for all Michelle did to get me into my beautiful home. She even was able to get the price reduced when my appraisal came in lower than the selling price, and in a planned community that said “no” to everything! I highly recommend Michelle for all of your real estate needs. There is no one better.

We searched for well over a year as we planned our move from IL to NC. Michelle was with us every step of way and was truly a partner to us. We appreciate her optimism, perseverance, attention to detail, and her advocacy for us as buyers. As out-of-state buyers, we needed extra hand-holding and attention (e.g., virtual walk-throughs, photos, etc.) and she was always willing to take on those tasks for us. She was with us for all steps in the process and even on move-in day. She is thoughtful and considerate of the needs of buyers--we were thrilled to have found her!

I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to be our agent in selling our house! There are so many facets to selling and I could put complete trust in her to handle the big and small issues. She was sensitive, caring and thorough. I was able to focus on all the things a seller has to do with packing, etc., and was confident that she had her eye on all the details to keep things moving along. I could text her any concern & she was there to help. She has a great network of people she works with to assist in the process. Thank you, Michelle!
ES, Durham, NC
Michelle has been the absolute best realtor I could have asked for! She has stayed patient with me when I would take a break from looking at houses and would reach out when she knew that the market was more in my favor to buy. Any time that I had a question or concern, I could count on Michelle to help out as much as possible and was always very responsive no matter the time. She took a personal interest in helping me find a home and would talk me off multiple bridges, encourage me to explore many areas around the triangle, and warn me when she felt a place would not be the best for me. When we would put in offers, she would go above and beyond to help me get the best deals and was a powerful negotiator. Even after the purchase, she is still in communication to make sure everything is going smoothly and help remind me of anything that needs to be done. I could not have gone through this process with anyone else. I am so glad that Michelle has been such a good realtor and friend and highly encourage anyone who is looking to buy or sell to work with her! You will be very happy you did.
KB, Sanford, NC
Michelle was a DREAM of a realtor to help me find and buy a new home! I was working with her from out of state and she was amazing about putting me in touch with houses she thought I'd love and doing virtual tours of the properties. Once we found the right house, Michelle went WELL ABOVE and beyond expectations in researching inspections, getting me information, negotiating price, and getting the process finalized. She truly earned my trust and respect in every step along the way. She also has a great sense of humor, which is helpful in the emotional stress of the process! Couldn't recommend her more highly!
VF, Durham, NC
Michelle was wonderful from the beginning to the end. Always had my interest first. She guided me thru this and I did everything she asked to help sell my home. After I had done all that I almost did not want to move. We agreed to a good selling price and got well over that in two days.
TM, Durham, NC
We could not have found a better realtor than Michelle. She walked us through the buying process very thoroughly from day one and was always available for us from then on. She answered our questions immediately and we felt that she was looking out for us, always with our best interest in mind. We looked at houses in different locations around the triangle area and Michelle knew each one so well. She guided us in the best possible way by asking the right questions and by accompanying us in every step of the process. I am not sure that we would have gotten a house in this very competitive market in Cary without Michelle’s expertise and negotiation skills. Our experience with Michelle was amazing and we have recommended her to our friends and family.
HB, Cary, NC
We were very lucky that we met Michelle in process of buying our dream retirement house. Michelle really listened to what we were looking for and had great recommendations from the start. She is very knowledgable about real estate market and was always level-headed helping us find our dream home in such a competitive market without settling. Michelle is very prompt in responding to any questions and provides in-depth responses. We loved working with Michelle and highly recommend her.
JZ, Chapel Hill, NC
I was not looking forward to selling my house, but having Michelle by my side during this difficult time was a true blessing. She was patient and extremely knowledgeable and professional. She earned my trust; taking the lead and guiding me through every step of the house selling process. I could not have been more thrilled with the experience.
KS, Chapel Hill, NC
There's no way around the fact that looking for a home in this market (Summer 2021) is an intimidating prospect -- and we couldn't be more grateful to have found Michelle to walk with us every step of the way. Professional, sharp, hilarious, and reminding us to have fun throughout, Michelle has been nothing short of excellent. Due to her expertise in the field, we have had the pleasure of working with Michelle for about 6 weeks, as she secured us a home within 10 days of first contact!
As first-time homebuyers, we feel lucky to have found Michelle to explain the nitty gritty details of home buying. She has been patient explaining things to us (sometimes more than once :), and brought a positive and realistic attitude to every step in the process. 5 stars doesn't do Michelle justice, you will be relieved, encouraged, and supported when you work with Michelle.
GB, Hillsborough, NC
I have had three realtors and Michelle was the only one who went over and beyond in providing me the BEST service, advice, care, and concern. She suggested a contractor, stager, and a professional person to clean my house, so it would be ready for potential buyers. Once I moved out of my house, she would make sure things were in order and secure each day. I am so extremely blessed to have Michelle as my realtor!!! I recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking for an agent to get the most out of the sale of their house and someone who will go above and beyond to insure the best experience!
FM, Durham, NC
It has been an absolute delight working with Michelle. She made herself available on a weekend for a very spur-of-the-moment bid, and helped me put together the winning offer in a very competitive field. She made all the subsequent paperwork very easy for me to complete, and hooked me up with a great inspector. Now she's helping me with hiring people to work on the house. Michelle is really good at her job and also a lovely person. Highly recommended!
KS, Durham, NC
We found Michelle on Zillow when we clicked on a house we liked. When we met at the property we quickly realized she was very knowledgeable about real estate! Michelle brought fun and experience to the house buying process (which if you have ever been through you know can be grueling!) she really knows her way around the real estate market, she listened to what we wanted! We enjoyed communicating about potential properties and in the end we found our dream home! We were completely satisfied with our purchase plus we quickly sold our old home by trusting in her expert advice! Thanks Michelle!
LS, Mebane, NC
Professional, knowledgeable, responsible, and helpful are the four words that immediately come to mind when we think of Michelle. You'd want someone who can keep a level head and has the knowledge and the insights to help you find not just any house but the right house. You'd also want someone who is very accommodating, quick, available and communicative and can babysit you throughout the process from finding the right house and undergoing the inspections and due diligence process to signing a stack of documents at the attorney's office and walking out his door as owners of the house you can now call home. Michelle did all of these things and beyond for us.
SS, Chapel Hill, NC
Michelle Delin is such an amazing agent who goes above and beyond for her clients! Best decision I made was listing and working with her when I sold my home last year.
BT, Durham, NC
Michelle was extremely responsive - almost around the clock! I joked at one point that she must not sleep. The seller and seller’s agent were difficult during the process, and It was nice to have Michelle involved to keep it moving forward in a professional manner. She was also clearly motivated to get us the best price possible despite the difficulty working with them. She could have been motivated to just get the deal done and make her money, but she worked with us to ensure we got the house but didn’t overpay.
She also stood by us even when the deal was done. Half the house keys had gone missing between the walkthrough and when we took over. As we needed them for the move in the next couple of days, Michelle lined up a locksmith in case and even offered to pay. Luckily they did show up with the seller, but I was grateful that during our stressful time, Michelle made sure that we had an option. The sellers agent even asked if we were related (we are not). Apparently she felt Michelle’s customer service was above and beyond an agent’s role. If you want somebody who will be looking out for you during the entire process and beyond, give her a call!!!
CO, Chapel Hill, NC
We are very grateful for Michelle’s help with a recent home sale and with the purchase of our new home. We couldn’t be happier with the process and outcome of both transactions! She had also helped us with a previous sale and purchase in 2010 so we knew that we wanted to work with her again. Michelle is very knowledgeable about managing all of the necessary details and is extremely responsive to any questions or issues that may arise. She is also very patient and thoughtful about helping find the home that best meets her clients’ needs. The level of attention she provides makes the entire process easier and less stressful. We enthusiastically recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!
CC, Carrboro, NC
Michelle has been an excellent help, she is very responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, has big experience, lots of connections. She made the whole process very smooth, she is outstanding.
LU, Durham, NC
My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Michelle and only have positive things to say about our experience. In addition to being personable, Michelle is attentive, hardworking, and extremely knowledgeable. She truly made us feel as though we were her only clients, which is a testament to her work ethic and love for the profession. As first-time home buyers, finding a home in such a competitive market was daunting and at times disheartening, but Michelle was always there to support us and guide us through the process. We are so grateful for Michelle and highly recommend her as a Realtor! We look forward to working with her again in the future.
EE, Durham, NC
Michelle was really wonderful with the sale of my smaller home and the purchase of my bigger home, especially during Covid times when we needed extra space for a home office and an extra bedroom for our newborn baby.
She was very thorough with the entire process, she helped stage the house and found the necessary people to get ready for showings and professional pictures for online showings and virtual tours.
When it was time to buy, her negotiation skills were really great, not only to get the right price but also to accommodate our timing. I recommend Michelle for any real estate transactions.
CS, Durham, NC
Michelle recently helped us with both a purchase and sale of a home and was fantastic to work with in both cases. She is consistently available and responsive, even in off-hours when we were best able to identify our questions and take the next steps. She had great contacts for needed support such as legal, inspection, and handyman/construction. She focuses on delivering value throughout the process, including the connection to quality but well-priced service providers, and is a great negotiator - she really focused on building a relationship with the sellers, which was valuable in working through more than one wave of negotiation.
LC, Durham, NC
Michelle was able to help us as first-time home buyers in our home purchase. Yes we were first-timers, but we are very detail-oriented, and we were happy to learn that Michelle was too. She explained every step of the home buying process, including all the various forms and contracts we signed along the way! We, again being detail-oriented, asked for multiple inspections, and Michelle was very responsive with her local knowledge to recommend the right experts. We were house-hunting in the middle of a pandemic and she was always wearing a mask and carrying around hand sanitizer to showings which we appreciated very much. Michelle was also great at hearing our concerns while still providing her own feedback. At the end of the process, she helped us successfully negotiate a deal with the sellers that we were happy with. Overall, we recommend Michelle to all home-buyers, first-time or not, because of her attention to detail, bright personality, negotiation and communication skills, and her willingness to teach others.
MD, Durham, NC
You don't know a good realtor until you have had one. This describes my experience with Michelle from day 1. She worked with me on selling my home in South Durham/RTP. For every step in the process, Michelle never let the ball drop. She even called out a contractor on a half-completed job, and insisted on communicating directly with the contractor to resolve. It was very evident that getting top dollar for my property was on Michelle's mind every waking hour. The house was staged and photographed perfectly (with MUCH credit to her for taking her personal belongings to cover for what the stagers failed to supply). When it was time to select an offer out of the many offers received, she was persistent with negotiations. I got schooled. Several times. She turned a painful process into an enjoyable one.
KW, Durham, NC
Michelle Delin has guided me through the process of selling and purchasing a home twice. Her collaborative approach, attention to detail, strong negotiation skills and caring attitude are just some of the qualities that made me a repeat client. She was able to sell my property even while it was undergoing repairs after a house fire, and her advocacy for me as a buyer helped me purchase a home in a highly competitive market. Working with Michelle is a pleasure, and I highly recommend her services!
AT, Chapel Hill, NC
Michelle was a fantastic partner to work with. She served as wise counsel to my wife and I in selecting options, helping us avoid unnecessary expenses and knowing where we could leverage free upgrades. She was also extremely responsive, responding to emails and text messages insanely promptly and just about always answering the phone when we called.
Michelle also made sure to keep us on task with the deluge of paperwork as well as providing an excellent sounding board as we worked through the financing maze.
At her urging we hired a home inspector who identified a number of material issues which we never would have noticed, all of which were fixed prior to closing. That likely saved us thousands of dollars in future repairs.
I couldn’t imagine enjoying our new home as much as we do were it not for Michelle making it into a much more positive, much less stressful experience.
DS, Raleigh, NC
We recently completed our second purchase with Michelle Delin as our realtor, and couldn’t be more pleased. Because we knew Michelle as a friend for many years before buying our first house, it was sort of a no-brainer for us to ask her to be our realtor the first time around. But our experience with Michelle is what brought us back for our second purchase in the same neighborhood just a few streets away. In both instances, Michelle was truly on our side when we looked at houses - casting a critical eye about potential negatives, helping us to maintain perspective as we hemmed and hawed over various issues (major and minor), keeping us mindful of important things like resale value, and how well each house we looked at fit with what we told her we wanted. In our second purchase, with a very tight seller’s market, Michelle helped us to think through our strategy to put together a winning offer. Michelle really listened to what we were looking for, and did a great job of showing us houses that met our needs and desires. As we moved through the process, Michelle shared our excitement and assuaged our concerns, making the process a smooth one from start to finish. We were so pleased to have worked with Michelle – twice! - and would recommend her without any reservation. She’s a gem!
AM, Chapel Hill, NC
Michelle was very professional and efficient with my time. She helped me find a great home in a neighborhood I love. The process was hassle free, and I would certainly work with her in the future.
JK, Durham, NC
Michelle is the best realtor, hands down!!!! As a first time buyer, she walked me through the process so that everything was crystal clear. She's an agent you can trust. She's not going to let you buy something just so she can make a quick buck. She makes sure the property you buy meets your needs, is in a good area, and that you're not overpaying. She's not going to let you buy a dud. She has extensive knowledge of the area so she knows when properties pop up if you should jump to go see them. This expertise is extremely helpful, especially in this market where houses are sometimes sold within a day of being listed. She knows about housing materials, plumbing, and so many other things that I would have NEVER known to look out for when searching for a home. In this competitive market, she will do everything in her power to make sure you get the home you love. I cannot say enough good things about Michelle. If you're in the market for a realtor, look no further. Michelle is the realtor for you.
KE, Durham, NC
Michelle made the process of selling our lot completely painless. She priced it just right, and the description was just perfect, so it sold in no time. She helped us with all of the needed paperwork and negotiations, which were completed quickly and flawlessly. I've been through a few real estate transactions and this was the first that was really stress-free. Michelle is an absolute professional.
BD, Chapel Hill, NC
Michelle helped us purchase a townhouse in a very competitive market. She helped to negotiate some price changes after we realized we needed to do some repairs. Working with Michelle was a delight and we were happy to purchase with her help.
AA, Carrboro, NC
We purchased our new home in July of 2017. Michelle showed us homes in our price range in multiple areas of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and southern Durham. She knows the area and was able to point out items in homes to be wary of. She had our backs throughout the entire process and helped negotiate with the seller. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Triangle!
SH, Chapel Hill, NC
Michelle explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from making the offer to working with the mortgage banker. This made it really easy to move.
She was always available for the negotiation, supervision, and fix if need it, recommendations about the house, material, and the land.
JS, Durham, NC
When I was ready to buy a house since I am a first-time buyer I did not have a doubt to contact Michelle. I knew she helped several friends to find a place that suited their needs and made the process go smoothly because of her hard work. I knew very little about the home buying process, but her knowledge and experience was quite valuable. She helped me through the entire process and did such a great job, responding very quickly to every email, text, phone calls, and meetings and always facilitated communication with our builder and community sales manager. I can honestly say the experience has been fun and satisfying. Thank you Michelle, you are awesome!!
For all of the above, I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending her to a friend or family member. You won’t be disappointed. I can assure you couldn’t be more satisfied with the work Michelle does as a realtor!!
RM, Durham, NC
Michelle spent a lot of time with us over the course of a year. We saw MANY home and she was patient, flexible, and helpful. She helped us move through all of the purchase challenges and stayed in regular contact with us throughout the whole process.
TL, Chapel Hill, NC
Michelle handled the process of selling our previous home and helping us purchase our current home beautifully! She was very knowledgeable about the market and skilled at the negotiations while being very professional and respectful with all parties involved. She is also a kind and patient person which is exactly what we needed during a very stressful time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to list or purchase a home!
SC, Chapel Hill, NC
We bought our first local to Durham house with Michelle, she was highly recommended by a friend at where I used to work. We instantly clicked, and she made the process fun and efficient. She even had us stretch a little bit after we busted on several homes in what we thought was where we wanted to live, and that stretch is where we currently live. She wouldn't have been able to do this if she didn't listen to what we wanted, and fiercely advocate for what she knew would be best for us (in a non pushy, but very advocative way). Though our family has grown, our professions have changed, and things are much different than they were, we're still here and plan to stay for a good long while.
KP, Durham, NC
Michelle is very professional and knowledgeable. She is an amazing realtor that helped me receive top dollar for my house, even more than I expected. I would hire her again 100%.
DM, Durham, NC
Great to work with, helped us find our first home. Always punctual, responsive, honest, and reliable. Very detail oriented and always on point. Loved working with Michelle and would highly recommend her and work with her again.
AG, Chapel Hill, NC
We feel so fortunate to have had Michelle as our realtor. Her guidance and encouragement throughout the home buying process was tremendous. From finding a home that met our long list of criteria to booking and negotiating contractors for the home repairs & renovations -- her involvement in making our dream home a reality went above and beyond a typical realtor and we are forever grateful.
