My Testimonials

In a particularly contested housing locale, Michelle’s knowledge and ability I consider key in our successful closing. We were already engaged with another realtor but were so taken by her demeanor we switched immediately. As virtually all home purchases are stressful times, her sage words and calming hand steered us always. Attentive, personable and utterly connected with fellow professionals and local residents. Can’t speak highly of Michelle

Michelle made me feel very comfortable with the process and I built trust with her early on. She learned about my lifestyle and needs quickly in order to present the best suited properties for me. Her communication was strong and she responded promptly to my calls, texts or emails. The market I bought in is competitive and strong offers are necessary if you want the property. Michelle guided me on this process and gave me a little push when it was needed, and I did need the push! Although she respected my thoughts and decisions. My offer was accepted and now I live in a home I absolutely love. I had a very successful experience with Michelle and highly recommend her.

She worked tirelessly to help us find our home and knows the Montclair market inside and out!

From start to finish, she made sure we were positioned to get the maximum value for our home. The suggestions for improvements were realistic and by following her lead, we were able to sell in one weekend for well over asking price! She is a Montclair expert with many local contacts that helped us stage and close quickly. In addition, Michelle is genuine and direct which I very much appreciated. I highly recommend Michelle and would absolutely work with her again should we ever move back to Montclair. She is the best!"

We approached Michelle with our priority list and she was very happy to work with us in finding the right match. . Being a first time home buyer we were not aware of the process and she helped us to navigate the process with ease. Her local knowledge is unparalleled and her first hand connection with other real estate peers gives you an added advantage. We are so happy that we had Michelle as our agent in buying our first home. She is thoroughly professional and ensures you have a smooth buying experience."

We were living in MA while Michelle coordinated all the viewing, bidding, inspection etc. in NJ. Not only her professional knowledge and years of expertise really made our home hunting hassle free, she helped us find and bid the perfect home in the pandemic market. The home we currently live in is the second home we viewed and the only property we bid on and the whole process finished in 2 month! There is no way we could've done this so efficiently without Michelle

We were a young couple with a dream to buy a house later in life. Now, in 2020, during a pandemic we reconnected with Michelle to purchase our home for our growing family. She was very patient and not pushy. She was flexible and willing to meet at times convenient to us. She even made accommodations to show the properties to my husband and I separately when our times didn't work as a couple. She also showed us properties multiple times without complaints. She is very knowledgeable about homes, and even advised us to ask certain questions that ended up being key factors why we didn't bid on a home or proceed the process. A process which she fully explained before and throughout. She wanted us to be comfortable with our decision on a home that we would watch our children grow. I'm happy to say we found a beautiful home that my husband, four year old and I love. She was present throughout the process and gave excellent advise and recommendations. She is one to get on your team when buying a forever home!

Although the process was lengthy and sometimes out right over whelming, our realtor, Michelle, was always there to ease the blow. She was polite, caring and last but certainly not least, extremely knowledgeable. As a matter of fact, she personified “Excellent Customer Service”. My family and I were very fortunate to have her “In the House” .

She generated multiple great offers for the property I was selling. The property had some issues, but Michelle helped navigate the ups and downs, resulting in a successful closing. Great job all around.

We approached her to figure out what to do with a property when trying to decide whether to sell, rent, etc. She provided flawless service and professional advice and was exceptionally responsive to questions, issues and whatever came up. She found a buyer in a very short time and worked to make everything come true for me. I could not recommend anyone higher than I recommend Michelle if you need a good realtor." bmeskill3

She was very knowledgeable about the area we were looking in and always sent over listings as soon as they came on the market that she knew we would be interested in.

She was really patient with us as we looked at a dozen rental properties and sent in multiple applications. Michelle always kept us updated and was very supportive through the process which was extremely frustrating during COVID. She was always prepared with our application and ready to go even before we saw a property. Thanks Michelle for everything!!

I'm not sure what her client load was, but she made me feel like a priority. I hope to work with her again in the future.

Aside from being a woman of great character, Michelle also has a ton of local knowledge about Montclair and the unique real estate market here, which came in handy both in pricing the home I sold and making an offer on the home I bought. Throughout both processes Michelle was there for me, always responding with calmness and kindness, making a stressful time for me much easier. More than a realtor, Michelle is a friend and trusted advisor -- I would recommend her highly!

She was a great guide along the way and was very communicative throughout the entire process. Without Michelle, we would not have our beautiful new home. She was flexible and available to facilitate secondary inspections even when my partner and I couldn't make it to the house. I would definitely recommend Michelle to friends looking in the area.

She kept us updated at every step and went above and beyond for us! If you are looking for an extremely professional, responsible, committed realtor, Michelle Schwartz-Clement is the person you are looking for. She will listen to you and strive to get you the best possible home. I can not express the respect and gratitude me and my wife have for Michelle. She answered my calls very fast and provided my wife and me with other properties in (Summit, New Providence, Short Hills, Verona, Montclair) alternatives in addition of the one originally inquired. She has a very deep knowledge of the location we were interested and the market trends there. We bought in Summit thanks Michelle we love you!!!

She was very responsive, and willing to meet on short notice and knowledgeable of the many areas we searched in. She negotiated a number of contract items on our behalf and helped to expedite the contract process. Michelle was a pleasure to work with and offered the right amount of guidance since we were new to NJ. I would absolutely recommend her to others.

Great Flexibility and help! Michelle made herself available many times, also after sale was concluded. thanks a lot, great experience!"

As a real estate agent who specializes in relocation services and representing sellers, she knows more about the field than anyone else. Because Michelle knew a lot about the real estate market and had a lot of contacts in the home improvement business, it was easy for me to achieve my goals. What really sets Michelle apart, however, is her deep knowledge of the community. Having lived in Essex County for over 16 years, she knows the area inside and out. She was able to provide valuable insight into the local schools, services, and benefits, which made the transition to my new home seamless. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was professional, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly. She was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, and her positive attitude and attention to detail were truly appreciated. Overall, I would highly recommend Michelle Schwartz-Clement to anyone looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated to providing exceptional service. Her expertise in relocation services and seller representation, combined with her extensive knowledge of the local community, make her a true asset to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

! As first time home buyers, we had a million questions and seriously struggled to know what questions to ask, what decisions to make, etc. throughout the process. Michelle was patient with us every step of the way, from initial searching to recommendations for local vendors once we moved in. Her knowledge of the market is incredibly impressive, and with thanks to Michelle, we had two offers accepted after months of searching and ended up with our dream first home. We cannot recommend Michelle enough, and would gladly work with her again!

My husband and I have shopped for and bought three homes in the NYC area over the course of the last decade, and we have sold two. We've met and worked with many real estate brokers. So, when I say that Michelle Schwartz-Clement is the most professional, efficient, and helpful real estate agent we have had the pleasure of working with-- I mean it. I've done my research, and I know that Michelle is great at what she does. I think it helps that she is an experienced lawyer. The market in Essex County, NJ is absolutely insane right now, but Michelle helped us to negotiate all of the factors-- including selling at the same time-- and to buy our dream home much more quickly and easily than I imagined possible. If it were not for her, we would have missed the opportunity of a lifetime. If you are looking for someone who can help you find your next home in NJ, look no further-- Michelle rocks, as we said in the 90s!

She was a great guide along the way and was very communicative throughout the entire process. Without Michelle, we would not have our beautiful new home. She was flexible and available to facilitate secondary inspections even when my partner and I couldn't make it to the house. I would definitely recommend Michelle to friends looking in the area.

She really listens to what your needs are! She was very responsive and flexible and even followed up regularly while we were looking as listings became available. We rented a home this time but when we are ready to buy, she will be my first call.

3 years ago, Michelle helped us move from Jersey City to Montclair and find a perfect "in between (just were not ready to buy)" rental house. Even thought this was a rental she worked for us to ensure the property was in tip top shape and perfect for our family to move in. After 3 years we were ready to buy. As first time buyers we constantly looked to Michelle for support, advise and direction. She was very responsive, kept us fully informed and offered amazing advice to help us get into what we hope will be our forever home. From house hunting all the way to closing Michelle was a true partner and I even find myself saying to others in the process, "well, Michelle would say...". We can not thank her or recommend her more!
