Testimonials
Mischelle was so helpful through the home buying process. My wife and I were buying our first home, needless to say we were totally green to the process, Mischelle was super patient, and totally professional walking us through this. She worked tirelessly to put us in the home we wanted, at a price that didn’t break us, if you need a realtor, Mischelle Duprey is who you need to be talking to.

Mischelle did an awesome job finding me my dream home. She was so easy to work with and made the process that much easier. I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you Mischelle

Mischelle did an outstanding job throughout the process: from identification of the property, through a tricky legal issue and even beyond closure. Her warmth and attention to detail has been evident throughout, which combined with her excellent, clear communication, made the entire process far less challenging than it might otherwise have been.
Such was Mischelle’s positive impression on me that I consider her a friend now; well after the property has become mine, and into the future
