In my opinion, Michele Messina is tenacious, incredibly intelligent, and professional. However, I personally can't recommend her services based on my personal experience nor have her represent me in the future. Ms. Messina gave a presentation at my first-time home buyers class and was very impres...sive. I hired her and it seems to me that she gets a lot of first-time home buyers this way. I imagine that most of those deals are pretty easy, but it seems to me that she has too many clients to devote a lot of time to some of the more difficult cases, which was mine. I rarely felt like my case was a priority. I felt like I needed to call them every day to get some movement and/or information about my case, especially when we were getting into contract and then trying to get my deposit back, which was a total nightmare for me. The deal fell through and I didn't get my money back for over a year. As this was a large sum of money for me, it was disappointing and often frustrating. However, I also recognize that she knows her stuff and works hard to protect her clients, despite any difficulties.

Michele Messina is tenacious, incredibly intelligent, and professional. Buying or selling a home is stressful and emotions can run high so often times if people do not get a response back right away from this office they get anxious. I must agree with some of the other posts that her staff can come... across aggressive and rude but I never experienced that personally (just by hearing only one side of the conversation while waiting in the office). However, when I had my initial meeting with Michele when I was purchasing my house, I asked her up front about her responsiveness and the process of communication and what I should expect. She was upfront and honest and I knew what to expect and the transaction went well with the closing. I do think she is extremely busy but I support women businesses and I think she is in a tough market. It's like any relationship, they take time, ability to build trust, faith, patience, mercy and understanding. I am going to use her again to sell my house and I would recommend her.

What a big help Michele Messina was in my case. I had another attorney and he completely screwed up my short sale and almost lost my buyers. I was then referred to Michele by my realtor who got a handle on my case and saved this deal from falling apart. She got my short sale approved by my lender a...nd we were able to close on my house. Michele and her staff were very caring with me and my situation. Big thanks to her for all her help.
