Michelle Trageser

Agent

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.

Reviews


Highly likely to recommend

“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!”

Highly likely to recommend

“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.”

"We met through Zillow blindly and she is the best agent. She was honest, upfront and pleasant (even with bad news). She stood up for us, pushed when needed and fought all the way through to closing with us. Even with this crazy market right now, she helped us navigate and make the best choices. Her knowledge extends well past sales and she explains the process the whole way through. She genuinely Read MoreRead Less

"Peter recently sold my home in the Glen Arm area. We called him up because he had previously sold another home on our block, so he knew the area very well. We interviewed two other realtors. We picked him because we were impressed with his area knowledge and go-getter attitude. He helped us to stage the house so it could look as appealing as possible. He helped us set a price that was just right fRead MoreRead Less

We now live out of state, but even with that, the process was smooth. Read MoreRead Less
"Always available and quick to respond and answer any concerns. Very pleasant to work with. We searched quite a bit and I seemed to be always a day late due to contracts, Carolyn kept us going forward and collectively we found the perfect place for me. Carolyn is 100% about her client and will not settle for less than perfect for her client no matter how long or whatever it takes."
"As a first time homebuyer, Carolyn made the experience easier and more stress free than I could possibly imagine. A previous Realtor made me feel like a burden, that they were doing me a massive favor, and this turned me off to the entire process for a few years. Not so with Carolyn. She answered every text, email, and phone call near-immediately, was extremely helpful and answered every question Read MoreRead Less
"Like a guardian angel to home buyers, Carolyn will move mountains to make sure you find a great home. She has a personal connection with her clients which makes a difficult process tolerable and even fun! Always easy to get in contact with so when a house you need to see pops up so does she."
"Results. In the end, isn’t that what we’re seeking when we select a Realtor? Jason Forry certainly produced for us in that regard, and in a timely fashion. Properly pricing a high end home, when few local comps are available, is always a challenge. Jason was thorough in his research and helped us set a price that was market appropriate. He also quickly brought a qualified buyer to us and worked wiRead MoreRead Less

"Timmie was by far the best part of our home buying experience. I honestly don't know how we could've gotten through it without her! She was knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, and always professional. She provided helpful and sound advice on market trends and was always honest with us when we asked (many) questions. It was because of her and her honesty that we were confident in our investment.Read MoreRead Less
