Camilo Trujillo Sanchez

Michelle worked with my family for almost a year in our search for our perfect home. She was very patient, very knowledgeable and was critical in the search for our home. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional realtor that has thorough knowledge of the housing market.

We highly recommend Michelle if you are planning to sell and/buy a house on the North Shore. Michelle has a wealth of experience and knows the North Shore market extremely well. She works hard and responds very promptly regardless of how many client she’s working with at any given time. Michelle is very candid and resourceful. When we viewed homes together, she pinpointed and shared the details of the house like landscaping challenges to potential environmental factors that might impact the house value. When she did not immediately know the answer, she took the initiative to investigate and provide a response in very short order so we could make a quick decision to proceed on an offer. In addition to being easy and friendly to work with, Michelle is extremely flexible given her busy schedule. She always put her clients first and makes sure we are happy and satisfied with the result.With Michelle’s expertise and advice, you will definitely feel at ease looking for your dream home on the North Shore.

My partner and I, who are both first-time home buyers, worked with Michelle to find a home in North Vancouver. From the consultation call to seeing properties, to putting in an offer, the entire process was smooth and seamless. Michelle did a great job in advocating for our needs and we knew that we were in caring, professional, and experienced hands. As stressful as buying a home can be, Michelle reassured us every step of the way and made the experience fun and as stress-free as possible. We are so happy with our new home and thank Michelle for her hard work to help us find it. I would love to work with Michelle again down the road and would recommend her to anyone.

Michelle is incredibly knowledgeable in the North Shore market. Her professionalism, connections, responsiveness, and overall fluency in in buying and selling real estate is so impressive. The process was so comfortable and she helped us achieve exactly what we wanted with buying and selling. We were so privileged work with Michelle and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor! She is also super nice and is a dog lover!

Michelle helped her buyers secure one of my listings in a multiple offer situation and I have to say, from the first showing to the final key handoff, she was an absolute joy to work with. She asked probing insightful questions about the property, handled the negotiations with great professionalism and worked diligently to ensure the protection and comfort of her clients. Highly recommend!

I have known Michelle for almost 15 years now and I am continually impressed with her attitude, her energy and her ability! She is a fierce realtor, a loving mom and someone I am proud to know and work with. As a realtor on Vancouver Island, I wouldn't hesitate to have her look after my Vancouver clients and sleep easy knowing they were in the best hands possible! I can't imagine anyone ever not being pleased with her service and warm and friendly demeanor, don't hesitate to hire this gem of a human!

Michelle Vaughan helped us house hunting last November. It took one phone call from her and there was a connection. She was always available when we needed it her, she knew what we wanted and needed and looked after our specific interests. We have never had such an amazing experience with a realtor like her, this woman is amazing, so professional with so much carisma, so knowledgeable and sensitive. Next time we look again for a property we will definitely contact her, it was such a pleasant experience. Thank you !!!

I was new to home buying, and have heard horror stories from friends and family about terrible agents. Michelle is truly professional and personal! She never made me feel uncomfortable and helped me every step of the way! Michelle explained everything in a way that was easy to understand from the making the offer, to working with the mortgage banker. We were so happy with her service and would like to recommend her to everyone.

(Translated) We are a young family with a pre-schooler and we would like to purchase a property in great Vancouver area. With limited budget and limited choices from the market, we weren't so sure we were able to purchase a property in West Van. Thank god that we met Michelle. She helped us found the dream house with reasonable price! She is very efficient, responsible and full of wisdoms. She has helped use avoid pitfalls multiple times. She is good at estimating the price of the property, recommending schools and price negotiation etc. She is proactive communicator and very informative. I would highly recommend Michelle if you want to purchase/sell a property. Highly recommend agent Michelle. We have a family with school-age children with limited funds. We always thought that we could not buy a house in West Vancouver and did not pay much attention to it. Many friends told us that West Vancouver is expensive and traffic jams. After meeting Michelle, I learned a lot about West Vancouver housing and school district. Helped us to get to know West Vancouver and North Vancouver again, and finally decided to visit West Vancouver and North Vancouver. Michelle grew up in West Vancouver and is very familiar with West Vancouver and North Vancouver. She also has a good relationship with the local realtor in West Vancouver. This kind of good relationship provides us with a lot of convenience for viewing the house in advance, understanding the seller's mentality, and negotiating prices. Michelle is an agent who actively communicates. She will provide various useful information in advance. We may not consider some issues. She will help us to think about the house, loan, house inspection and so on. Will provide a lot of good suggestions. In the end, the cooperation was very pleasant, and we quickly found a satisfactory house and sold it at a satisfactory price.

We entrusted Michelle to help us look for a suitable home for our growing family. She did not disappoint. She is so patient with us, and never pushed us to make any hasty decisions just to make a sale. Michelle is an amazing realtor, great at her job, efficient, knowledgeable, timely and above all she truly cares and it definitely came across that way. Will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor that puts their clients needs first!

It was such a treat to work with Michelle! She helped my husband and I find our new home, and was key in making the whole process go smoothly for us. Michelle was super responsive and always just a text away. She has a wealth of knowledge and was quick to provide info for any questions we had (and we had a lot!) or requests to view places. We also really appreciated her transparency throughout and effective communication about the process/next steps. If you're looking for somebody who is open, knowledgeable, and reliable, then I would recommend getting in touch with Michelle!

When it comes to Michelle I am speechless. She is very smart, professional, honest, caring, knowledgable, straight forward, stunning negotiator and most importantly she is an amazing human being. Every person who meets Michelle in this life is truly lucky :)

Susanna McNeill

We were extremely pleased with the professional and attentive service offered by Michelle as she worked tirelessly to successfully sell our home. Highly personable, she was always a text or phone call away and we quickly established a comfortable working relationship with her. She has a deep knowledge and understanding of the real estate market in West Vancouver and we have already recommended her to friends that are considering a move. We could not have been happier with our experience. Thank you, Michelle!

We had somewhat of a unique home buying experience with Michelle in that it was a very short search. We found the place we wanted on our very first weekend of open houses with her. She knows this industry so well, and she knows North Vancouver real estate as well or better than anyone else you’d potentially work with. To put it simply: she knows what she’s doing. We were in very, very capable hands the whole time. She is incredibly responsive, takes care of small and large tasks in a very timely manner, and forgets NOTHING. We really felt like she was in our corner during the whole process. No regrets!

Michelle Vaughan recently helped us sell our home and purchase a new one. Her professionalism, market knowledge and experience impressed us immensely and she made the whole process seamless. We are very grateful to Michelle for navigating through a very frenzied market and still getting us the home we wanted to buy. We highly recommend her for all your real estate needs.

Michelle was such a pleasure to work with on the recent sale of our home. She was professional, hard working, calm (when we were not!), market savvy and navigated us through a challenging transaction with ease. We were very happy with her performance and the quick sale of our home all at a great price. We would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy realtor on the north shore.

Leora Pearl-Dowler

Michelle is incredibly knowledgable, professional, kind, and wonderful to work with. The sellers realtor was not easy to work with, but Michelle made sure that everything went smoothly. This is the third time my family has worked with Michelle, and the first time that I have, and I will continue to use her for all of my real estate needs. It makes everything easier to know you are dealing with someone with high integrity. I completely recommended her!

Tamara Pearl

Michelle is my favourite realtor! She has worked with us on 3 real estate transactions over the past few years including buying and selling in West Vancouver, Bowen Island, and Vancouver - 2 homes and one leasehold condo. She has had our back every single time. Her knowledge covers a huge range and has saved us thousands of dollars, for example through a little known tax statute our lawyer didn’t know about. I recommended her to a friend who was selling her apartment and she was also extremely happy working with Michelle. She sold her place for more than expected due to expert advice Michelle has that unique combination of caring, motivation (some realtors just don’t seem to care!), intelligence, and knowledge. Highly recommend.

Without hesitation we would recommend Michelle to anyone who is considering listing their home. From the moment we met Michelle to discuss our options, she had a very professional way of laying out her vision and plan. We knew we were in good hands. Michelle is not only keenly aware of the needs of homeowners, but knowledgeable and very "in tune" with the market - she is all business. She discussed what we absolutely needed to do before we listed and then laid everything out very clearly for execution. It was seamless from start to finish and we could not have written this story better. We listed on a Tuesday and we were sold the following Monday. We had multiple offers and sold over asking thanks to Michelle‘s marketing strategy. Michelle is absolutely the reason why our house sold.

Michelle is a joy to work with. Makes the process of buying and selling a house fun. Highly recommend her.
