I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Michele. She took the time to understand my needs as a client and went above and beyond to make sure we found the house of our dreams. Michele is very knowledgeable about the area and provided lots of options and ample information to assist with making decisions. She is both courteous and professional and was available to answer all my questions, whenever they arose. Michele also made the closing process a breeze as she handled everything possible beforehand, so that we could get out and enjoy our new home as soon as possible. If you are looking for an agent in the area, look no further than Michele.

~ Christi

Michele actually sold two single family homes for us in 2019. She handled the process in each circumstance with the utmost professionalism and compassion. The first home was my parents’ home and the second was our home of 41 years. She had such understanding and compassion for us as we let go of so many memories! I would highly recommend this wonderful lady!

~ keamcann

Thank goodness for Michele. From the moment we met her through the closing on our house, Michele was the consummate professional. She was proactive in her approach to selling. She communicated with us regularly on progress and provided excellent advise regarding things we could do to improve the salability of our home. Michele worked closely with us through every stage of the selling process. When there were questions, either from us or an interested buyer, Michele went above and beyond to keep all parties involved and informed. In addition, Michele connected us with a realtor in Florida who was as personable and professional as Michele. She worked tirelessly until the result we expected was achieved not only for our Pittsburgh home but for our new home in Florida.

~ beckyb5340

Michele is a true professional. She works hard so you don’t have to. She was able to get us the house we wanted and also helped us sell quickly when we relocated!

~ C.S.

We met Michele when we first bought our home in Cranberry Township so when it was time to sell, we contacted her. She was well acquainted with our area as well as our home as she helped us decide what to pick out when we bought our new home. She told us changes we should make to sell our home in addition to having a stager stage our home--our home sold pretty quickly--we would highly recommend Michele as a realtor!

~ dljaske

Michelle did a great job from start to finish and helped us sell our home very rapidly. She knows the market, has great contacts for repairs and refurbishing, and was very helpful throughout the entire process. I really could not recommend anyone more highly.

~ Andrew Jaske

We were not previously acquainted with Ms Fausnacht, but we noted her fine work in the sale of another home in our vicinity in Wexford. She was extremely well-prepared when we interviewed her. We selected her over a few other agents who we interviewed. During the course of her work, she did an exceptional job to market the property. She brought in an interior designer at her expense to give advice on staging the property, and used the Internet very effectively. She brought in numerous prospects in a short period of time, and provided excellent advice during negotiations. We ultimately received our asking price and we were able to move out of our prior home, on our schedule. During my professional life, I dealt with real estate agents from time to time, and she compared favorably with the very best of them. My wife and I recommend Ms Fausnacht without reservation.

~ garygaertner

Michele was great!

~ J.M.

Michele did an amazing job marketing and selling our house! Her staging and preparation advice led to an over listing offer on the first day it was on the marker!

It is my pleasure to offer an unreserved recommendation for Michele Fausnacht as a relocation buyer and seller agent.I have known Michele since November 2017, when she was my real estate agent as part of a corporate relocation from California to Pennsylvania. From the outset I was highly impressed by Michele’s interpersonal skills and abilities as real estate agent. She created an environment where my wife and I felt welcome, and it was apparent Michele sought to build a level of trust and rapport that went beyond the home transaction.Much of our trust in her derived from her superior knowledge of the surrounding areas and the home buying process. Michele was able to articulate next steps and relocation requirements in ways that my wife and I understood. During the home buying process, she also provided detailed maps of our target communities with information about the homes which intersected with our price range and personal preferences. My confidence in her never waned, and she was always immediately accessible through any communication means (phone call, email, text). We enjoyed our home buying experience so much with Michele that we selected her to be our relocation agent when we moved back to California in January 2019. In fact, I specifically called the Real Estate Agency to request her services. As our selling agent, Michele went above and beyond to help us market the home effectively, ultimately resulting in a purchase agreement within two weeks of the home being listed. Her incredible knack for staging our home was a key factor in the sale. She was even willing to lend us her own props and help us prepare (on her weekend time) for professional photos and showings. I was touched by her willingness to set us up for success.In short, I highly recommend Michele Fausnacht as a relocation agent and know, based on my experience, she will provide a highly valued service for you.

~ brandon baylor

I was very impressed with the preparation plans with showing the house and then the consistent follow-up with us and potential buyers. She made the overall selling process as stress free as possible. She was always very accommodating since we had pets and a hectic schedule. I highly recommend her.

Michele was a breath of fresh air in our selling process, she handled the sale of our home with skill, understanding and personal interest. She is very professional; yet, it feels like you've known her for many years. She was always there to answer any questions we had and would find the answers quickly if needed. I would not hesitate to recommend Michele for your buying/selling needs, you will not be disappointed in what she can do for you in any capacity with her expertise. During the stress of selling our home, she was there with a calming and optimistic tone helping us navigate the ups and downs of the selling process. She was a fantastic agent for us!!!!

~ nakeller16066

So glad we found Michele!!! After relocating to Cranberry and renting for a year or so we began the process of looking to buy. We stumbled on to Michele and the rest is history. Michele helped us purchase our first home just over 2 years ago and now has helped us to sell that same home as we relocate out of state. Our experience working with Michele was excellent and we could not have asked for a better agent to help us through the processes. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the local market and real estate practices. She acted as an advocate for my wife and I in the negotiation process of buying our first home and made the process feel comfortable during an uncomfortable time. When we learned we need to sell our home less than 2 years later our first call was to Michele. She helped us through the whole process providing great insight into best practices to help us sell quickly, make our home as marketable as possible and get the most for our property. From a professional photographer, a bound color brochure of our home, to attending showings when we were out of town, Michele provided a level of service and professionalism we were beyond grateful to find. Anyone looking for a great agent would be lucky to have Michele on their side.

~ belle1103lm

Being relatively new to the area I was not familiar with any of the local real estate associates and how to choose among them. After researching local activity it was easy to see that Michele Fausnacht had an extremely fast turnaround rate. Upon meeting with Michele it was obvious that she is not only dedicated to her profession but she is the most knowledgeable agent I have done business with. She has excellent marketing skills and knew how to get my home on the market with high visibility.Once sold, Michele made the process of the sale, closing, and paperwork pleasant and easy. Michele’s profession is truly her passion.

Michele Fausnacht is a true professional and genuinely interested in helping her clients through the real estate transaction process. Buying and selling a home can provide for some very anxious moments and Michelle does everything possible to make the process as pleasant as she can while obtaining the desired results. We met Michelle at a house showing when we first started our house search and she worked very hard to help us find the house that met our needs perfectly. She is very knowledgeable with the construction of new homes as well as the buying and selling of existing properties. We were fortunate to find her and she helped us to find a property, a builder and the type of home that met our needs in every way. She was with us throughout the entire selection process and provided guidance that would have been lacking if not for her expertise.Michele was very thorough in helping us to establish the selling price of our old home. Based on the comparable homes in the surrounding area and the current real estate market, she helped us to establish a price point that more than met our financial needs and presented our property so that it was extremely appealing to potential buyers. During the negotiation process, her experience enabled us to realize the maximum return on our property.My wife and I both feel very fortunate to have had Michele Fausnacht as our real estate representative.

6/2017 My family and I recently relocated to the Pittsburgh area from out of state.  Michele provided outstanding service that exceeded my high expectations throughout every facet of the home purchase process.  I could not be more impressed with her professional skills as well as her personable demeanor.  Michele consistently made herself available to answer any questions, anticipated potential issues, provided constructive ideas, and expertly guided the transaction smoothly from start to finish.  Throughout the process, she earned my complete confidence and trust that she was working with only my best interests in mind……….and not simply to get a deal completed.  I would not even consider the use of another real estate professional for any of my personal future needs in the local area.

We have had the pleasure of working with Michele on 2 seperate occasions and both have been great experiences. Michele has a high level of integrity, is hard working, honest and dedicated. 
Our initial experience was with the sale of our townhouse. She took pictures and listed our home and the FIRST day it was on the market, she had lined up 4 showings. By the end of the next day we had 3 offers and we accepted a full price offer. We believe that Michele's vast knowledge of the market and her long list of potential and interested buyers contributed greatly to us selling our townhouse in 1 day!!!! 
Our next experience was building and buying our new home, which we love! From A-Z and everything in between, Michele was there to guide us. She listened to our needs and desires and guided us to the perfect home and we are so very thankful. Even now, 2 years later...I can still contact her with questions that I may have and she is always so quick to respond. 
Without a doubt, we will always come back to Michele and we highly recommend her.

~ Seller & Buyer, Cranberry Twp.

Michele was a blessing to us in our process of selling our old homes and finding a new one that is perfect for our family. She sold both of our homes within 24 hours and was committed to helping us build the perfect home with Weaver Master Builders. Michele is professional and personable and we knew she had our best interest in mind throughout the entire process. We recommend her to all of our friends and family!   I could go on all day about how awesome you have been through our home selling/buying process!!

~ Ryan & Colleen

My wife and I first met Michele in Summer of 2012 when we were looking to purchase a new home. After listening to what we were looking for and the type of features we wanted, she helped us find the exact type of open concept floor plan we were looking to call "home". She was always prompt to respond to any question we had during the process and was extremely professional at all time. When it came time to sell the house we were living in, it was a very easy decision to choose Michele as our realtor. After evaluating the current market conditions and listing the home for sale, Michele was aggressive with the marketing that quickly resulted in an offer. When evaluating the details of the offers being submitted, Michele always kept our best interests in mind and wasn't looking for the quick sale. Once the sale was under agreement, she guided us through the selling process ensuring all clauses were met on a timely basis.  Overall we were extremely happy with our buying and selling experience and wouldn't hesitate at all in recommending her to family and friends looking to buy or sell a home. 

~ R. & R. Good

Michele was that sellers agent for my first home. I liked her aggressiveness with following up and making sure there were no obstacles from closing. Because of how she was on the opposite side, I called her up to represent me when selling my home. The process again went very smooth and brought in stagers and professional photographers to market my property.

~ Seller in Mars, PA

Michele is able to give her full attention to the present moment. She makes what is on your mind important to her. Her manners have staying power, meaning, she is as mannerly on the last day as she is on the first day. She made us comfortable with the negotiation process. It is easy to think  that you are a victim of your own ignorance at a time like that. But she provided very good guidance

Michele did not know the housing market in our area. Originally underpriced our home by $20,000. Otherwise very professional. We were not at all impressed with the home stager she brought, but did like her photographer.

~ jpflug2

My wife and I discovered Michele Fausnacht only after she quickly sold a house in our Wexford area, for an amount which we considered to be an excellent return for the seller. We then asked Michele to meet with us, as one of several prospective agents who we interviewed. Although Michele's work seemed to be concentrated in the Cranberry area, she demonstrated extraordinary knowledge and preparation when we met with her in our Wexford home. After we engaged Michele, she did exceptional work in the marketing of the house. At her expense, she brought in a staging specialist, as well as a professional photographer and a videographer to present the home in a polished, professional manner online. She generated enormous interest in the home, conducted an open house and obtained good feedback from prospective purchasers. She kept us fully informed and quickly generated two simultaneous offers, which allowed us to sell the home at its original listing price. She obtained a move-out date which met our needs, and the closing went very smoothly in no small part due to her efforts. The marketing process can be a little anxious, but Michele provided excellent advice and direction throughout. Overall, Michele did an exceptional job, and was a fine and professional representative of our interests. My wife and I recommend her without reservation. Earlier in the course of my career, I dealt from time to time with some real estate agents, and my opinion is that Michele is the best and most able real estate agent who I ever have encountered.
