Susan Jane Michel

Ms. Michel represented our family interests in three real estate transactions - selling of our home, home purchase and a home refinancing. During the sale of the home, the contract was reviewed for any clauses encumbering us - finding none the transaction took place without delay. During the home pu...rchase, the legal team for the seller stalled the transaction. Ms. Michel doggedly pursued the completion of the contract in terms favorable to both parties. In the second transaction, Ms. Michel suggested participation to protect our interests. As the owner of the loan remained the same community credit union, the transaction remained transparent and straight forward. Ms. Michel reviewed the materials at the signing to explain any section that could have a future impact on the loan repayment. The "easy" transaction was reflected in the fee charged being less than quoted. She informed us in a manner that acknowledged our intelligence as well as our inexperience with the legal requirements and language. Her communication style and frequency met our needs.
