Bio

Michelle came to real estate in 2012 after a career as a residential architect. As a Baltimore native, Michelle brings a perspective and expertise to both purchases and sales that most agents do not possess. This is particularly useful in Baltimore where so much of the housing stock consists of older, resale homes, often with historic meaning. Her buyers have appreciated her architect’s eye when evaluating homes for purchase. Often, she can see the possibilities below the surface, ways that a not-quite-perfect house can be expanded, reconfigured, or simply freshened up. Her sellers have benefited from the floor plans, design ideas, and staging advice that she can provide their listings. Her extensive knowledge of Baltimore city and the surrounding counties is helpful to first-time home buyers and those moving in from out of town.

“A friend recommended Michelle to us, and she did not steer us wrong. Michelle was fantastic. She met with us to truly understand what we wanted in a home, and sent us lots of fabulous listings. When we viewed the homes, she pointed out important things we would not have recognized on our own. She was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and patient with our many questions and helped walk us through the entire process - even after buying the home she has been kind enough to answer our lingering questions!”

“We have worked very happily with Michelle since 2004 in both of her professional personae, architect and realtor. In the past year she helped us to sell one property and buy another. Both of those efforts presented challenges, but Michelle was well prepared to guide us through them to successful conclusions. Michelle’s professional qualifications ensure that her insights and recommendations are invaluable. More important, however, is her tireless commitment to her clients. Working with Michelle is a true partnership.”

“It was so easy to sell our house thanks to Michelle. She is truly a wonderful realtor and a lot of fun to work with. We have had the pleasure of working with Michelle to purchase our home several years ago. We had such a great experience that we called her back to be our listing agent when we needed to sell. As always she was professional and efficient with the paperwork and dealt with our crazy schedules and many, many questions about what we were signing. She patiently walked us through every page and we felt like we always knew what to expect and what came next in the process. She helped us locate a few professionals to come do some touch ups to the house and she also put us in touch with a professional stager for some furniture. We listed our home just before the COVID-19 pandemic and no one knew what to expect. Michelle made sure to advertise the home and held some showings with all the precautions in place. She worked around our schedules and gave us all the space we wanted and time we needed when things got scary and locked down. Still she had no trouble at all finding buyers. Michelle continued to assist with the inspection scheduling and any additional paperwork we needed. In the end I had to sign the documents from another state and she helped me navigate that too. Having Michelle as our agent really reduced our stress.”

"Hanna helped us sell our old home and purchase a new home and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent to help us through the process. We found our new home and Hanna helped us move quickly and mentored us through the entire process. She goes above and beyond what is expected and is great with communication. We listed our house while we were out of the country on our honeymoon and Hanna handled e… Read MoreRead Less

"Maria knew what I was looking for, but also took time to help me consider alternatives along the way. This helped me calibrate and confirm what I really wanted. She was attentive and made me feel like I could always reach out."

"We loved how knowledgeable Maria was of the city, right down to the neighborhood that we wanted to live in. She was respectful, ethical, and we never felt pressured to buy something we didn't want or love! She was prompt to respond to our questions, and was great when it came to negotiating for everything that we wanted!"

"Maria was a true asset when I decided to sell my condo. She made great suggestions on things to attract buyers. It wasn't a particularly ideal time for selling, and I was out of town, so it was super important for me to have someone that I could trust and put in charge of things. Maria was exactly that person!"

"I usually don’t leave reviews, but I can't recommend David Wheaton highly enough. He was unfailingly knowledgeable, good humored and available for any questions we had. He made the entire process easy and even enjoyable in a very unpredictable market. We love our new home and David played a large part in finding the perfect one."

"I’ve had my fair share of realtors in my life and there has never been one that I absolutely loved working with besides David. David by far exceeded all my expectations in a realtor. He was extremely responsive, caring and knew his stuff! He made my home purchase experience a breeze and took care of me from start to finish. David will forever be my go-to realtor as long as he’s in this business. I… Read MoreRead Less

"David was so much more than I expected from a real estate agent. My fiancée and I were first-time home buyers who had reached out to David on a recommendation from a friend. David was prompt to set up a call to walk us through the process and understand our wants and needs. His knowledge and years of experience in the greater Baltimore area were exactly what we needed, having never previously boug… Read MoreRead Less

"If there were 6 stars, he would get six. I have been fortunate to buy several homes in my lifetime and have worked with wonderful real estate agents, but NONE compared to David Wheaton. He is competent, thorough, attentive and seems to be 1 step ahead in all arenas of home purchasing which is rare to find. If I am blessed to buy more property I will be doing so only with David. To me, he was my lo… Read MoreRead Less

"We tell everyone - we were so lucky to find David! David patiently shepherded us through our journey as we explored properties that fit the broad idea of what we wanted, and as we narrowed our spec to find the perfect fit. Through each phase, David - who’s both an experienced agent and was previously a lawyer (useful for explaining legalese!) - was very accessible and responsible, going out of his… Read MoreRead Less

"Chelsea made the process of buying our first home seamless in this crazy market. She worked all hours day or night with us to find and close on our perfect home. She negotiated well on our behalf and always had our best interest at heart. She even went above and beyond after the sale securing information for us that helped repair an issue through the manufacturer. We will use Chelsea in the future… Read MoreRead Less

"Chelsea went above and far beyond in her efforts of staging, listing, and marketing our home. Multiple offers in 24hrs. Even when we ran into some trouble and ultimately had to relist, she bent over backwards in an attempt to salvage the deal while simultaneously securing a second buyer. You will not be disappointed working with Chelsea Botley."

"Chelsea was exactly who we needed to sell our home. We lived in the same house for 16 years and were ready to move on but had no clue where to start. She came in and made suggestions of things to do to sell at the top of the market. Chelsea also had connections to get quick work done and navigate a buyers repair request in order to close on time. We accepted an offer way above we ever thought pos… Read MoreRead Less

"Shannon assisted us in finding a new home in Westminster. We are moving from Minneapolis so she provided great insight about the market.

She then guided us through the in… Read MoreRead Less

"My experience with Carly Lobus was amazing. She explained everything about the home buying process very well. Was patient and very informative especially for a first time home buyer. She continues to support me even after I bought my home. She did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home or an investment property."

"We met Carly Lobus by chance when we had a disaster in our house. We made a request to tour a home and Carly answered. She took to any of the homes we suggested and there were many. She made herself available to us whenever we ask, and if she didn't know the answers to the questions we asked she found out and got back to us. She was relentless in helping us when we shared our story with her. She m… Read MoreRead Less

Carly is professional, friendly, and patient!! She accommodated our busy schedules and short timeline and got us from touring our new home to closing in just over a month!! Carly is absolutely amazing!"
