First Time Home Buyer - SUCCESS!
My husband and I are incredibly pleased with the service we received from Michele Morris Realty for our first home purchase. As a first time home buyer and about to be first time parents, Amanda Albrecht was fantastic every step of the way.
From finding potential properties to helping us understand the first time home buying process through a specific builder, Amanda was always available and communicated how each part of the whole process would move forward. She also profoundly understood the housing market in the area, which allowed us to get an incredible deal that exceeded our expectations.
Beyond her expertise and professionalism, she made us feel valued and cared for. She answered all of our questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring we fully understood what we were doing and why it was necessary. This was extremely helpful when our home builder didn’t further elaborate.
We are so glad that we chose Michele Morris Realty and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!
Very Happy
Michelle and her daughter Amanda came to us as a referral. From the first time we met them till closing on our property. They were very professional and communicated thru our sale. Highly recommend them and if I buy or sell I would use them.
Made the Buying Process Smooth and Easy!
They listened to the features we wanted and found us a home that we love within ONE day! Mother/Daughter team work well together so there was always someone available to answer our questions and quickly respond to any form of contact that we used. We had a small issue with something during our final walk through and Michele was on it within seconds getting the issue resolved with the seller’s attorney. We run a small business ourselves and we would hire this team again for any realtor needs in the future. Thank you for making the buying process smooth and easy!
Upmost Professionalism
Michele guided us through our home sale with great results: quick sale at full price. Her suggestions were spot on & I’m so happy to have had her guidance. Michele, along with Amanda, made the process easy with their professionalism, attention to detail & communication. Thank you ladies!
A Pleasure to Work With!
Michelle was wonderful to work with & the results were amazing, full price offer within 48 hours, I recommend Michele highly – she was a pleasure to work with!
WOW! What A Team!
We cannot say enough good things about Amanda and Michele! We listed and sold our home with them. WOW! What a team! The interior and exterior photos of our home were professional and showed off our home’s best features. We had excellent communication from the team and had more showings than we could have imagined–with NO open house! Closing went smoothly and we were kept well informed throughout the entire process. I wish we could have bought/sold all of our properties through this team! We moved out of state or we would have asked Amanda and Michele to be our next realtors! THEY ARE THAT GOOD! If you are selling or if you are buying a home, THESE are the realtors you want.

I recently purchased my very first home and reached out to Amanda Albrecht with Michele Morris Realty. I have known Amanda over the years and knew exactly who I was going to reach out to when it came time to look for a home. Before even getting pre-qualified for a mortgage Amanda prepared me for every single step and little detail moving forward. Her team of mortgage lenders, attorneys and everyone were so responsive. From the time i put in an offer on the home, I was in and closed within 35 days. Knowing the industry as well as i do, that is very impressive task with all of the new closing rules and regulations. Amanda answered every single one of my phone calls and text messages immediately. I am in sales for a moving and storage company and we partner with countless realtor’s in the area. Amanda’s responsiveness is something i can really appreciate. Amanda really fought on my behalf and in my honest opinion, I dont believe a single realtor out there could have done a better job. If you live anywhere within an hour of Plainfield, IL market you would be crazy to look anywhere else. I truly appreciate everything you did for me Amanda and I will be referring Michele Morris Realty to everyone in the future. You’re the BEST!!!
Expertise Unmatched
Michele and Amanda are an amazing team! They supported me through every step of the buying process, and wen above and beyond to help me navigate some bumps in the road. Besides being excellent real estate agents they are genuinely nice people. Would not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.
Beyond Our Expectations
Top notch, professional get it done fast and best offer. Michele and Amanda work as a team that provides you with two for the price of one. I would highly recommend this team for sure without a doubt. The process was a fast and painless as possible.
Highly Recommend
I highly recommend this phenomenal team. They are highly professional, very knowledgeable about industry and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. They offered great tips for staging and we had an offer in less than a week. I trust them implicately and would recommend people use them for their next move!
Expertise unmatched
We had the good fortune to partner with Michele and her colleague Amanda to advise and represent us on both our sale and purchase of a new home.
Market conditions, logistics, and a surprisingly inept collection of buyer Realtor and lender characters all contributed to an exceptionally complicated, nerve wracking, and overly long drawn out process.
Thank goodness for Michele’s always professional and steady hand guiding us to navigate through others’ drama as calmly and successfully as possible.
Michele is a total pro – smart,experienced, skilled, ethical. She knows her business inside out, and has developed a network of other experts to consult as needed.
She is incredibly hard working, always available, and totally transparent – processing out loud in real time as situations arise.
Further, Michele is trustworthy, respectful, and quite importantly, compassionate – she really cares about what she does and how well that works out for her clients.
We are referring all in our circle of influence to Michele Morris Realty for help with their needs.
Highly Recommend
Our experience with Amanda & Michele was well worth it! Amanda had our place under contract in about two weeks. They are dual agents, so basically more for your money which is really nice. I highly recommend you not pass up Amanda & Michele as the results will more than likely fall in your best favor!
Sold Home Quickly
Our home was photographed beautifully and presented on every possible website. Amanda and Michele were extremely knowledgeable of the area and help us set a fair price, which sold our home quickly!
Exceptional service
Amanda Albrecht and Michele Morris with Michele Morris Realty is the best company in the business! Our family looked at lots of Realtors, and there are lots out there but none compared to the personal touch of Michele and Amanda who by far separated themselves from the competition. They arrived at our home that we were trying to sell. Two days later after the photos, they orchestrated, our home sold for above what we wanted. Their negotiations skills are amazing.Their experience was proven and demonstrated by their business savvy.
Expertise unmatched
Like all great realtors, Michele and Amanda recognize the small things which make a big difference to the buyers/sellers. They went above and beyond and were returning calls at all hours of the day. Finding people who are there for you and who are in your corner makes the world of a difference. Their company expressed their individuality which made the agency different from the competition. They are by far the reason why we sold our home at a higher price and bought a home that was made for us…..A world class company with world class people and contacts, and we would recommend them to everyone!!!!
Always available
We worked with both Michele and Amanda. Fantastic team effort. Michele really went out of her way to work with us and help us sell our home. We sold it, for a fair market value price, when the economy was at its worst. She was a pleasure to work with, and her team did a ton of behind the scenes work for us. Amanda helped with the purchase of our first home and she always made her self available, even at the last minute to take us through properties. At that time, we were looking for a short sale/foreclosure to purchase. Amanda and her team knew the local area well, and she was right on top of any possible house we would consider as soon as they were listed. She helped us through the process to the end and we really appreciated her efforts. I would highly recommend this family team.
Prompt feedback
Amanda is super friendly and always willing to answer any questions. I appreciate her prompt feedback. Additionally, her patience in dealing with what can be stressful situations is greatly appreciated.
Over the past several years, Amanda has assisted me with finding a tenant for a rental property, rental property management, and also listing my home for sale.
Exceptional Service
As an attorney, I have had the pleasure of representing a number of Michele Morris and Amanda Albrecht’s clients as well as personally using her service for my own properties. They are honest, knowledgeable, and responsive. From the initial market analysis, to advice in marketing, to negotiating a great price, Michele Morris Realty always provides their clients the best representation. Whether you are trying to sell your house quickly for the top dollar or looking to purchase that perfect home at a good price, I am convinced that there is no better broker in the Chicago land area.
Proficient in Distressed Sales
From listing to the close, Amanda and Michele successfully brought me through a difficult short sale on my home. They were attentive, knowledgeable about the complexities that accompany short sales, and responsive to my needs. This type of real estate transaction takes a lot out of you, whether you are seller or the agent, but Amanda and Michele worked hard and got the job done. I recommend you give them a call.
Highly Recommend
I listed my home with Michele and and Amanda on a Wednesday afternoon and had a signed contract on Friday morning for 99% of my asking price!A very professional team with a great knowledge of the local real estate market. I could not be happier with their performance and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Beyond Our expectations
We couldn’t be happier with the professional expertise of Michele Morris Realty and the successful marketing of our parents’ home. When it became necessary for us to place my husband’s 90 year old parents into an assisted living facility, time was of the essence in selling their house and getting the highest possible market value for them. Michele and Amanda went above and beyond what was expected, giving us helpful advice on how to make sure the home would show to its best advantage, as well as keeping our best interests in mind during the sales negotiations. Given the already stressful situation of placing elderly parents into a senior living arrangement, Michele and Amanda were the answer to prayers, and we sold the home a few months later. Thank you for everything and know that we have highly recommended you to all of our friends and family.
Highly Recommend
Amanda has helped me numerous times with rentals and purchasing a home!!! She is wonderful to work with and treats you as if she was purchasing her own home. I highly recommend her and Michele Morris for any future purchases!!!
Aggressive Negotiator
Michele Morris helped us sell our previous home and purchase our current home. Our house sold in less than one month. However, the buyer backed out and the sale fell through. Michele was able to sell our house for a second time within a month. We put in an offer on a new home. Unfortunately, dealing with a difficult seller made us back out of the sale 2 weeks prior to closing. Michele helped us close on another house a few weeks later. Through the whole process Michele was great to work with. She worked around our schedule, was responsive and listened to our needs. Michele Morris worked to sell our home close to asking price and then aggressively negotiated the purchase price down on our new house. We would definitely recommend Michele to persons looking for a real estate agent.
Expertise Unmatched
We highly recommend the services of Michele Morris. She assisted us twice in the sale of our homes. The first sale was a traditional sale. The second sale was a short sale. Her expertise and knowledge were invaluable. A short sale is complicated where perseverance and diligence throughout the process is essential. A strategy from start to finish is a key to success and Michele followed through on every detail to completion at closing. We could not have done it without her.
Exceptional Service
Michele Morris provided exceptional service in the purchase of our new home. She was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional. The outside resources she recommended were excellent. We had a team of people on our side helping us who were also expertsin their field. We can’t believe how easy this whole process was!
Stress-Free Sale
Michele Morris used her expertise to sell our home quickly and for top dollar. We really appreciate all of the time Michele spent with us. Michele is extremely motivated and showed compassion while helping us through the entire process of selling our home. What I thought would be stressful was actually stress-free!
Highly Recommended
I have bought and sold numerous homes over the years. Michele Morris is the most professional real estate agent I have ever dealt with. She is Top Notch in every way.

Excellent Follow Through
Michele Morris is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of her profession. She listened to my expectations and was sincere in her desire and dedication to meet my needs. She is an enthusiastic self-starter who follows through with tasks. She made my move a very easy and carefree experience. All of the ancillary services Michele recommended, worked just as hard as she did to take care of my needs. Because of Michele, my entire experience was positive. I highly recommend her to others.
Honesty and Integrity
Michele Morris has been wonderful to work with while selling our home and investment property. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious. She is up front and honest and does not overprice to sell down or deceive people into believing something that may not be possible just to get the listing. This integrity shines through as she takes a genuine interest in her client’s wants and needs. Her follow-up and follow-through are also two key features to her success. Customer service cannot be overrated. Michelle recognizes this and builds strong rapport with her clients.
Highly Recommended
Michele Morris was recommended to my husband and I by a co-worker to help us sell our home and we would definitely recommend her too!
We were advised that Michele had been a realtor for over 23 years. We hadn’t sold a home in almost 16 years, so we contacted Michele to get her expert opinion to see what we could do to make our home appealing to today’s buyer.
When Michele visited us she took the time to go from room to room giving us suggestions. She was even helpful in providing recommendations of people that could assist us if needed. We felt it was important to take her advice as this is her area of expertise and something that she deals with on a daily basis. One suggestion was as simple as turning a chair on a slight angle to open up the flow of the room more. Other’s were removing wall paper and outdated curtains and putting some fresh paint on the walls. There wasn’t anything that she asked that didn’t make sense to us and we had complete confidence in her recommendations. We felt that we were a team working together to achieve our goal.
Michele Morris is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to helping you buy or sell your home. We truly believe we wouldn’t have received a contract for the full asking price of our home in about 24 hours if we hadn’t utilized Michele Morris as our realtor. She’s confident, aggressive, knowledgeable, and definitely has what it takes to get the job done.
Attention to Detail
Michele,
Thanks so much for your kind hospitality and professional service. We really enjoyed our week in Chicago and appreciate all of your hard work to help us find a new home in the community that is right for our family. The kids are really excited about the house and we all look forward to seeing you soon. Thanks again!
