I’m a first time home buyer, I don’t understand all the terminology and words used throughout the home-buying experience, but Michelle does. She made the stressful journey of buying a home so smooth and easy that I didn’t worry about anything. She’s kind and sweet and has a good heart, and it comes across in how she conducts business. It’s easy to do the hardest decision in your life when you have Michelle in your corner. Any person I know that is going to buy a house in the area will get a recommendation of Michelle from me.

Michele is phenomenal when Buying OR Selling! I’ve now worked with Michele through a home purchase and a home sale [same home] and she was an exceptional realtor in both avenues. Michele has the knowledge and experience to be able to explain your options and allow you to make the best informed decision for yourself. She’s available, attentive to sharing status and updates timely, and friendly. We had the best outcomes working with Michele. - Anna M., San Antonio, FL (Meadow View)

I recently engaged Michele Curtin and her company Shells Florida Realty to list and sell my home in the Tampa area. I could not be more pleased with the professional, responsive, courteous and expert services I received in navigating the real estate sales market. Michele was spot on in gauging the market and recommending the listing price. She was very knowledgeable about staging the home, had an excellent professional photographer to document the home online, and made an excellent video to post online of the homes unique features. We went live on a Wednesday and signed a Purchase Agreement the same Saturday. We had a cash offer from a corporation but I selected an offer from a family who was going through the traditional mortgage process. Michele guided me and the Buyer's Agent through the inspection, appraisal and mortgage approval process. There were a few hiccups during this 30-day process but Michele managed them with skill and expertise and the Closing occurred within 30 days of signing the Purchase Agreement. I would highly recommend engaging Michelle Curtin as your real estate agent if you are buying or selling a home in the Tampa area. She is knowledgeable, experienced and well-connected with the real estate agents and title companies in the Tampa area. - Jean K., Tampa, FL (Touchstone)

Her continuous feedback on preparation, staging and marketing was a reflection of her vast knowledge and experience in the real estate market . Would highly recommend her to any prospective buyer/seller. - Gustave B., New Tampa, FL (Grand Hampton

One of the first things that introduced me to Michele was her news letter. Before I even thought of selling our home I seem to know Michele through her monthly news letters. They were very informative not only about real estate but every day life. I won a couple of her Trivia questions and won gift cards. So when we decided to sell it was only logical to call Michele. - She was very knowledgeable in her field and even arranged open houses and posted the listing on many social media. I basically didn't lift a finger. I would definitely recommend her if you are planning to either buy a home or sell your present home. - Jean B., New Tampa, FL (Grand Hampton)

Michele exceeded all of my expectations. A combination of rising interest rates and Holiday season made for a tough market to sell. With that said Michele worked tirelessly to sell our home and get the best price possible. Thank you !! - Mickey M., New Tampa, FL (Grand Hampton)

I can’t begin to express our immense gratitude for all of the hard work and personal sacrifices Michele made to bring this sale to closure! Michele is extremely knowledgeable of the Tampa real estate market, a timely communicator on all important details, a strong negotiator, a highly creative marketer, and she goes far above and beyond any other realtor we’ve experienced! is truly an honor to have Michele as our Realtor and our friend! For anyone considering selling or buying a home, we can personally attest that you will not find a more committed, knowledgeable, hardworking Realtor than Michele Curtin with Shells Florida Realty!! She’s amazing!!! - Ginny M., New Tampa, FL (Grand Hampton)

Michele was very familiar with the area, which was a plus. She had good contacts for work that was needed on the house which allowed us to maximize profits. She used a variety of methods to advertise our house when it was ready to hit the market. Once offers started coming in, she was able to break down each offer into easy to understand terms and provide needed insights. Once under contract, Michele kept on top of everything and made sure it was smooth sailing all the way through closing. - Ken S., Wesley Chapel, FL (Northwood)

Michele was knowledgeable about my neighborhood. She gave pertinent information so I could make the best decision affecting my home sale. She was also kind & patient. She’s always willing to answer a question or lend a helping hand. She even “volunteered “ her husband & son to help move a large entertainment center so I could donate it to Habitat for Humanity!! She cares about all aspects of her clients experience. She is truly an extraordinary agent and person. Thank you for making a difficult decision easier to bare! - Susan D., Wesley Chapel, FL (Northwood)

Michele Curtin was very helpful. During this stressfull experience of buying a home out of State. We are from Massachusettes bought home and business properties in Massachusettes but buying a home in Florida was a different experience. Michele has a lot of patience. She was very prompt in answering my phone calls. I will be recommending her to my family and friends. - Orpha J., San Antonio, FL (Mirada)

The amount of effort and time Michele put into walking me through the process is unbelievable. From the first day that we met for a coffee at Starbucks she spent her entire evening walking me through the “big picture.” From there on out, she was always available to provide me with the information that I needed (or didn’t need, but needed for the sake of my sanity) – every decision that I made, small or big, mattered to her. Not only did I feel like I had all the information I need to make those decisions, but I also felt like I was in good hands. Especially because, as a first-time buyer, I didn’t know all of the questions I should be asking (or do’s and don’ts, for example) and she would proactively provide this information, which made me feel like I was walking through this process with eyes wide open. Michele is very professional and experienced! Top tier specialist! Thank you Michele ! - Liviu L., New Tampa, FL (Cory Lake Isles)

Never with anyone else! We had a need to purchase a second home to support elderly parents. We had to fit a very narrow window as it related to property needs, finances, location, etc. Michele was supportive throughout our selection and acquisition process.

Michele was recommended to us by a Miami realtor when we first thought we wanted to move to Miami. After looking at homes in Miami, West Palm Beach, and finally Tampa we decided to relocate from Massachusetts to Tampa. Michele was the best Realtor to work with for our relocation to a family friendly part of FL. She really held our hand through the process. She's very detailed and thorough. She remembered our wants while home touring and even helped us figure out our needs! She is by your side through the whole process and I am highly recommending her to our family and friends! - Sophia K., Wesley Chapel, FL (Epperson Lagoon)

Michele was prepared for our initial home selling meeting with comps and info on the area. She had a photographer take our home photos, which made our listing second to none. We had far more views on Zillow than any other homes in the area. She presented us the offers and talked us through them step by step. She also was the buyer agent on the new construction we were purchasing. She combed through our contract and reviewed her findings. Throughout both the buying and selling process, Michele made sure we knew what was happening each step of the way. - Kristen G., Riverview, FL

Michele is a lovely person to work with! - Elaine H., San Antonio, FL (Tampa Bay Golf & Tennis Club)

We had a very limited time frame to find a place here due to being out of state and needed to move by this summer. Michele made it happen when she went above and beyond to help us find a place witin two days. Her expert knowledge of the area ensured us an accepted offer right away. This would not have happened with any other agent. She continued to assist us throughout the closing process by communicating our needs with the seller, scheduling the inspections, taking photos for our insurance needs, providing updates on what have been completed and performed the final walk through on our behalf. We only had to come back the second time to pick up our keys to our new home. She even continues to assist us with our moving after the closing to make sure we have a smooth transition. We would definitely recommend Michele to anyone looking to find a new home here. Thank you Michele. We could not have done it without you. - Huy and Cat N., Wesley Chapel, FL (Meadow Pointe)

Five stars really are not enough for Michele. She handled both my buy and my sell and I will never use or recommend anyone else.

And when she recommends anyone to assist in the process, you know they will also be the best. Also, if Michele is your broker, you don't just have the best in the industry, you have a friend for life! - Walter J. , Wesley Chapel, FL (Meadow Pointe)

Michele helped my husband and I find our home on the first day of our search. It was the second property we saw that day and instantly fell in love with it. The entire process was a breeze, not what we were expecting! Having Michele as our advocate was an absolute blessing.

We really can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the Tampa area! - Samantha M., Wesley Chapel, FL (Pasadena Point)

Professional and courteous, Found our dream home on the first day! Michele is an absolutely wonderful person to work with. She carefully explained the entire home buying process and took the time to answer all of our questions carefully and thoroughly (as first time home buyers we had a lot of questions!). She really has her finger on the pulse of the housing market. Michele found the home my wife and I purchased on day 1 of our search and it was only the second property we looked at! She really went above and beyond to make sure all parties involved including the builder and loan officers stayed in touch with us and facilitated an extremely easy final closing day. My wife and I would HIGHLY recommend working with Michele! - Andrew M., Wesley Chapel, FL (Pasadena Point)

Michele made my home-buying journey so seamless! Her extensive knowledge of the processes, and advice along the way, was invaluable.

Professional; Partner; Competent; Artful Negotiator; Skillful Communicator; Gifted Consensus Builder; and Relationship Expert are just a few of the competencies one can expect in working with Michele. Michele found us our permanent home base after listening to "Our Story" and getting to know us and our needs. And the RELATIONSHIP didn't stop with completion of the transaction. The transaction with the beginning of the relationship that continued through our transition ensuring everything was perfect. The highlight of this for us was ironically 5 days after closing hurricane Irma blew in to town and our vacant new home sat vacant; and us near nervous breakdown 1200 miles away-- but there was Michele the morning after with photo and video assurances that our life's dream was indeed OK. Who does that today? A partner in a home purchase which is far more than anyone with a title of Realtor. - Rich E., New Tampa, FL (Grand Hampton)

Finding our perfect home was easy with Michele's assistance. We gave her all our parameters for our preferred home and location.

Michele finalized the many details and took care of all of the paperwork required. Michele is very professional. She made the home buying/selling process stress-free. We highly recommend Michele to everyone. - Kevin D., Wesley Chapel, FL (Quail Hollow)

In addition, she is so well connected. She provided contacts for other services. Even after the sale, she continued to provide service by reminding me about a deadline for homestead exemption. - Dalia E., New Tampa, FL (West Meadows)

She was present and shared her feedback during our walkthroughs and closing. When we closed, she gave us a gift basket to help us acclimate to our new home and the area.

She is an absolute pleasure to work with! - Bindhu G., Wesley Chapel, FL (Estancia)
