“Michelle is the best realtor I have ever worked with. Not only was she knowledgeable about the market, the area, but for a first time buyer she was incredible with advice. She was extremely patient with me during the search and I have no regrets. Furthermore she has a great network that supported me with the entire buying and financing process. During the critical stages of the process I had to travel overseas for an extended period, but Michelle took care of everything and made the whole process simple and stress free. I have recommended her to a lot of my friends and those that have worked with Michelle have been extremely grateful for the connection. In any future property I would exclusively only work with Michelle.”

“I met Michelle almost 9 years ago. She was our agent when we were looking to move. We were in a good area but our house needed a total remodel to be acceptable for our family. After looking for several months Michelle convinced us to stay in our own home and remodel, saying we would regret leaving the area we lived in and she felt our property value would only go up if we stayed and remodeled. So.we.did. And she was absolutely right! Michelle cares about her clients and truly wants the best for them even if she does not get a sale out of it. Her professionalism, creative thinking, and can do spirit set her a cut above the rest. She will forever be my agent when we actually do sell, but more importantly she has become our friend. I could not give a higher recommendation to a first class agent!”

“Working with Michelle was an amazing experience start to finish. She was able to quickly assess what type of home we were looking for and her knowledge of the LA market helped us to narrow done our search to a manageable area. The combination of her expertise in these areas resulted in us buying the first house we saw! She continued to guide us through the closing process and helped us navigate a stressful process. We are thrilled to have Michelle in our life now as our realtor, all things home resource, and friend.”

“As a young first time home buyer, Michelle always patiently explained and educated me on the housing market. She curated a great list of home listing for me based on my preference and price range. I feel reassured and at ease while working with her because of her patience, responsiveness, insight, and most importantly, a pure passion/dedication in helping others finding their dream homes. She understands what each client is looking for and provides honest advices in order for her client to make the best choice. On top of her wealth of knowledge in real estate, she has excellent professionals skills and wide reliable network that help streamline communication with various parties such as the mortgage loaner, seller, and escrows. It has been such a pleasant experience learning from and working with her. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her as their real estate agent. Thank you so much, Michelle! You are a real gem.”

“Recently, I was fortunate enough to have worked with Michelle to sell my home. I found her to be a true real estate professional. She focused on my needs, executed quickly and came thru with a sale well above asking price in a falling market. She’s a good listener, with a lot of experience with different types of properties. If you’re looking to work with someone who is pleasant to work with, and truly has your best interest at heart, reach out to Michelle. I’m glad I did.”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing in helping us find the perfect home. As a first time buyer, I had no idea what I was doing and truly couldn't be more thankful that we had Michelle to guide us through the process. She was so organized, thoughtful, insightful, and tenacious during the search process and through closing day. Next time we buy or sell, I couldn't imagine working with anyone else besides Michelle and her team..”

“Michelle was our agent when we purchased our new home in Del Rey/Culver City after looking for years and working with several other agents previously who never seemed to have our interests in mind and just wanted to close a deal. Michelle was thoughtful, listened to our needs, kept us in budget and got us everything we needed in the negotiation prior to NC losing (even getting things done we didn’t even know we needed!). She truly has her sellers interests at heart and treats every sale like it’s her own which is a rare quality to find in a real estate agent. She has become a great friend since closing on our home and we will definitely continue to work with her and recommend her to others in the future!”

“Michelle is gem to work with. From the beginning of the process, to the end, she offers educated suggestions without pressure, making her clients feel comfortable every step of the way. She minimized the headaches while maximizing our returns. We have bought and sold several pieces of real estate in Los Angeles over the years and Michelle is the only agent I’d work with again. I can’t thank her enough for all her work on our behalf.”

“We worked with Michelle on buying a new home and selling our house. She was extremely proactive, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations throughout the process. She acted on our behalf for many activities throughout the buying and selling process and I trusted her fully to represent our wishes! Couldn't have asked for a better person for both transactions.”

“Michelle was our agent in selling our condo. She made the process easy and with her advice we got significantly more than our asking price. She is responsive and patient in helping people buy and sell and has always put our interests ahead of her own. Whenever any issues cropped up (like an unresponsive HOA), she was on top of it and resolved the problems for us. And just as important, she is a nice and fun person to interact with. Truly a great experience to have her on our side.”

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Michelle. She was beyond fantastic. I don't think we've ever had a realtor who was so thorough, so on top of every detail, so accommodating, and so hard-working. I wish we could afford to buy a home every month just so we can continue to work with her.”

“Michelle is a high caliber agent who gets the job done. She was able to present creative solutions to overcome problems during my transaction and worked with the sense of urgency needed to complete the deal. She is a valuable asset that couples a strong work ethic and market knowledge with a personality that makes her stand heads above the competition.”

“I've known Michelle professionally and personally for a very long time. The old adage "no one can take it away from you if you're a good person" totally applies to Michelle. She's strong, fierce and. honest and she will be your knight in shining armor when she's your agent. She does know how to speak to people and if you need a little babying she will do it, but she's very good in saying it like it is and putting things into a perspective. That, however, doesn't detract from her strategy and diplomacy. In other words, you're very lucky if you choose her to help you cause you're getting the best of the best. She's also been around (looks and age are deceiving 🤩) and she knows the business inside out. She chose Compass over offers from other very prominent real estate agencies and they're lucky to have her. She's hard working, committed, always pushing forward and honest. I find the combo of all these ideal for your real estate agent. Totally on your side, highly qualified and a good person. What more can you ask for?”

“I usually don’t gush over realtors, but when you find one that’s beyond incredible you want to share! Michelle Zoolalian helped us with a tricky 1031 exchange and it was stressful! She handled everything with ease and expertise. Michelle is super responsive. No phone call, email, or text ever went unanswered. She is super kind and patient and truly cares. If you're looking for a professional who knows the Westside, I can’t recommend Michelle enough and even if you're not in the market I’d keep her number handy!”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing. She ALWAYS had our best interest in mind and it showed. So knowledgeable and easy to work with. When we found our dream house, she urged us to act quick and I’m glad we did because our dream house received several other offers besides ours. Michelle coached us through best practices and was able to secure our offer without an increase in price! Best of all she was there from start to finish and walked us through every step of the process. Our house appraised for more than we paid and we get our keys this week! Could not be happier with Michelle, she exceeded our expectations!”
