"Michelle helped us to both buy our new forever home and sell our first home recently. We had worked with Michelle in 2015 to buy our first home and found our new home randomly at an Open House this past spring. I called her the night before we put in an offer with nothing done or organized! Michelle helped us in 24 hours to get financing in place, do a pre-inspection, and put together the best offer (there were 2 other offers on the table already). We thought it was a long shot but one we had to try for. I still cannot believe we got and currently live in our beautiful new home in Bethesda with our family, 2 small kids, and dog. Of course, then we also needed to sell our old home! Michelle’s spot-on advice was to focus on moving given our quick turn to get the house on the market before this summer. Michelle put together our timeline, helped to secure all contractors, designers, staging, cleaning, landscaping, etc., and executed in 14 days! This resulted in 8 offers in one weekend at prices well over asking that far exceeded our expectations. In short, we bought a new house unexpectedly, sold our old house, and did it all in about 60 days. I still can’t believe we were able to do all that and definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without Michelle’s expert guidance. We joke that we now have completely unrealistic expectations for the DC housing market! Thank you, Michelle, we are so grateful to you!"

"Just wanted to share that Michelle sold our home above the asking price super fast! I researched the top realtors in the area, interviewed 3 and Michelle was our first choice (by a long shot!). At first it seemed like it could be overwhelming selling our home of almost 20 years. However, Michelle had a lot of good advice and it made it simpler (even fun!). Her specific plan for downsizing really made a huge difference. We were super impressed with her staging plans, but since our house sold so fast, we didn't even get to it. Michelle is the first realtor who really delivered for us (in selling our other two homes). Thanks so much!"

"Michelle Sagatov and her team at the Gold Group of Washington Fine Properties exceeded all expectations for the sale of our home in Arlington, VA. From our initial contact through settlement, Michelle was clear on communications, professional in all aspects, and above all has extensive real estate experience. This perfect mix yielded top dollar and well above the asking price for our home. We value the personal relationship that was established in working with Michelle."

"From the moment we decided to list our home for sale, Michelle was guiding us through every step of the process. She exhibited robust knowledge of the market and helped us set the perfect price to attract multiple potential buyers. Michelle also went above and beyond to ensure that our home was presented in the best possible light. She aided in the staging of our home, gave us valuable advice on making necessary upgrades, and even helped us get the right people to make a few repairs. Not only that, but she did all of the legwork, arranging for various contractors to do the work on our behalf. Our beloved home looked its absolute best thanks to her efforts and sold quickly for a great price. Michelle was also constantly available to us for questions and she addressed any concerns we had swiftly. This made the entire selling process smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful to her for her professionalism and dedication, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home in Arlington or anywhere else in the DMV!"

"Michelle is an exceptional realtor. We have partnered with her twice in the sale and purchase of homes over the last 8 years. On both occasions, she was thoughtful, creative, and strategic as we prepared our homes and searched for new property. Her advice was invaluable as we navigated the tight Arlington housing market: she wisely counseled us about offers, home readiness, and neighborhoods. In our most recent sale, she took care of all the stress surrounding our home sale: the staging, marketing, and showings. We ultimately had numerous offers over the asking price - and closed a contract with fantastic terms that have helped make our move so much easier. Michelle is not only an extraordinary realtor but also a true pleasure to work with - she has gotten to know our family and has helped us achieve our long-term goals. We are so grateful for her great work and could not recommend her more!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Michelle to purchase a new construction home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. She was knowledgeable, professional, and always made herself available to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the process. She guided us through each step of the home buying journey, including negotiating with the builder and helping us understand the various upgrades and options available. One of the things I appreciated most was her attention to detail in reviewing all of the documentation and contracts involved in purchasing the home. We felt confident that she had our best interests in mind at all times. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone in the market for a home in the DMV!"

"Working with Michelle was great. After having tenants for seven years there was a lot of work to be done on the home before sale, but we were out of state (and sometimes out of country). Michelle took charge of everything and made sure it all went smoothly and we got the price we wanted! She's professional, competent, easy to work with, and appreciates our somewhat funky modern home. We would happily work with her again."

"We think very highly of Michelle, and we would recommend her if any friend or family member were looking for a great Real Estate Agent. Not only is she extremely good at what she does, but she is also a pleasure to work with. Michelle provided us with invaluable expertise, guidance, and support while we were buying a new house and, immediately after, selling our old house. On the buying front, she knows her market extremely well and made us aware that the right house for us was coming to the market a few weeks before it did, giving us the time to be ready to submit an offer. She helped us navigate the offer process, from walk-and-talk inspection to escalation clause and everything in between. Once the offer was accepted, she guided us step by step through the process, making sure that everything was ready for closing day. While we were closing on the new house, she lined up everything for us to be able to quickly take our old house to the market, such as minor repairs, painting, landscaping, window cleaning, and showcasing. She prepared a clear timeline for when each contractor should be in the house and provided referrals for everybody we needed. She even helped us find a great moving company to seamlessly move to the new house. Her guidance greatly reduced the level of stress involved with selling the house. Thanks to Michelle's support we were able to receive multiple offers on the designated day and had several strong ones to choose from."

"This is our second time working with Michelle as both a buyer and a seller. Our most recent experience as buyers was a complex situation with many contract addendums and requests — she handled it with extreme professionalism. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local markets and has deep roots in Arlington, which made selling our second home a breeze. This is the second property we have had Michelle list for us that we closed within a day of being active, with multiple offers on the table and for well above the asking price! While we know Michelle is extremely popular and works with several clients at any given time, we always felt like we were her only clients at the moment — she was extremely responsive, overly attentive, and quick to act. We would recommend Michelle time and time again and, while we don’t plan to move again shortly, we know we can count on her when the time comes!"

She is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market, hardworking, and dedicated to her clients. She consistently goes above and beyond what is needed. We highly recommend working with her!"
