History:
Prior to embarking on a career in
Real Estate, Michaela was a Corporate Trainer that
traveled the U.S. training her clients’ employees on
their new computer systems and proprietary software.
Her main clients included AG Edwards, IBM and Turner
Construction. She simultaneously taught locally for
Clark University.
Having completed her local and travel
contract work after September 11, 2001, Michaela
decided that the time was right to activate her
Real Estate license. Michaela will tell you that she’s
thrilled to have a career that combines her interests in architecture,
reconstruction, green building and
helping people.
Education
Michaela takes her career in Real Estate very seriously
and considers education an inspiring, vital component in
delivering the best service possible to ALL of her
clients. She earned her
ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative) designation
early in her career and is currently working on her
GRI (Graduate of Realtor Institute) designation, due
to be earned mid-2009.
Testimonials:
Michaela is happy to receive impromptu "thanks" for doing what she loves. Some of
those are excerpted here while testimonials are found
below.
- “I just wanted you know that I do realize and
appreciate how hard you worked for me. And I love my
house!”
- “Ah, Michaela, you are so great going to bat for us on
all of these properties. This is a much longer, more
drawn-out process than we'd hoped but it's good to have
you on our side.”
- “Just want to take a moment in the midst of all of
this craziness to let you know that we think you're
doing a fantastic job. We know you have other clients to
worry about and put time in for, but you've been nothing
but generous with your time & efforts on our behalf, and
for that we couldn't be more grateful. Frankly, I don't
know how you do it - doesn't seem to be enough hours in
the day!”
“Michaela is a consummate professional. She is bright,
detail-oriented and is a pleasure to work with. Michaela
is dedicated to making sure her client's best interest
is always in the forefront in every transaction. I would
highly recommend her.”
-Heidi Benson, Attorney Lamb & Brown, P.C.
“Michaela delivers results. Not only will she drive you
around to countless homes, she is the first to point out
potential problems with houses, does not hesitate to
asks sellers and their agents tough questions but makes
sure the properties you see meet your pre-established
criteria. She is honest, had a great sense of humor and
there is NEVER any pressure. Michaela is the best!”
-Carrie Richards, Buyer Client
“I am pleased and honored to write a testimonial about
Michaela Hellman. Michaela stands out as one of the best
real estate agents that I have ever worked with in my
legal practice. She is conscientious, ethical, and
smart.
Michaela starts out by educating her clients, whether
they are sellers or buyers. She explains the process to
each client and continues to educate them throughout the
process. She makes sure they obtain all information they
need to make proper decisions. Her clients come to
closing fully prepared to deal with matters in a
straightforward manner. Michaela negotiates for her
clients to make sure that their interests are fully
represented. Michaela handles herself professionally
often converting the other side into her future clients.
She is thorough in everything she does. She has the
details of every transaction at hand and is willing to
go the extra mile for her clients. She is easy to
contact, promptly returning all telephone calls and
emails and when she takes a vacation she always has a
knowledgeable agent covering for her. She often
continues to assist her clients long after the closings.
I have probably worked with Michaela on fifteen
closings. I am always amazed at how much time she
dedicates to each client.
- Kathryn Farrell, Attorney Deschenes & Farrell, P.C.
“We absolutely could not have had a better experience
selling and buying our homes. You made the process so
manageable and positive. We appreciate your
professionalism, good humor (we can't imagine you have
many clients who have someone run into the side of their
building right before an open house...), and courtesy.
Also, you were awesome with our kids!
“We really feel so fortunate to have the experience we
did with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank
you!”
-Beth Frankl & Michael Short, Seller & Buyer Clients
“Wow, according to this article, the bottom has fallen
out for condo sellers in most major cities, including
Boston. You wouldn't know it from my perspective, since
you did such a great job at
getting me asking price so quickly!
I'm not sure how your company works, but if you have a
supervisor, please forward this email to him or her with
my deepest appreciation for beating the odds in a
collapsing market!”
-Lisa Gaumond, Seller Client
“I was moving to Boston "sight unseen" - yet Michaela
was extremely in-touch with my needs and flexed as I did
throughout the process. She was a pleasure to work with
and I felt like she had my best interests in mind at all
turns. Importantly she was willing to push back on the
system/raise issue to higher level to ensure it was
resolved in my favor. She is very aware of the various
pros/cons of all areas of Boston - and was candid in her
responses to my various questions. Michaela is
well-versed in the ins-outs of the transaction - and
provided good advice from offer to closing questions..”
-Kristen Nostrand, Buyer Client, Proctor & Gamble
