Testimonials

"Michelle is knowledgeable, experienced and personable. She made the process of looking for our new home closer to our job extremely pleasant. This was the most stress free experience I’ve ever had buying property. We found her accidentally while searching listings online. Once we met; she immediately inquired about our interests and worked diligently to send us listings that matched our requests. She researched every detail and was always available to answer all questions and meet us at showings when we had availability. We closed on our new home about 2 weeks after meeting her. Thank you Michelle for taking such wonderful care of us. We look forward to working with you again in the future." Evelin Matsikh, Daytona Beach

Michelle Cecchini with Shell Realty is professional, very knowledgeable, and savvy regarding the marketplace. She was my advocate every step of the way in the purchase of my investment property in Holly Hill, Florida. She shared vendor information and was always looking out for my best interests.

"Michelle helped us buy our beachside home. I have only good things to say about working with Michelle. She was always available, super knowledgeable, and went beyond what any of the four previous realtors I’ve worked with in my life have done to make the process smooth and efficient. We bought out of state, and she made it much easier than I thought it would be. She excels in all the expected qualities of a realtor, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a kind and dedicated agent on their side in this crazy market! Thank you so much, Michelle!!!" Arazu Wanna, Ormond Beach, FL

 

"We purchased our condo from out of state. There is no way that we would have been able to complete this purchase without Michelle's help! Michelle was very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the whole buying process. What I appreciated most about Michelle is that I trusted her. She really was our eyes and ears in Florida with us remaining in Minnesota. She really went above and beyond what her role was as a realtor, even after the sale was complete. When we finally arrived in Florida to see our condo for the first time she greeted us with our keys, refreshing beverages, and a lovely gift. She even had items for our children. So thoughtful! It is these small things that Michelle does that make her different from other realtors. It is these small acts of kindness that make her stand out from the rest. Michelle is the best!" Heather Beseman, Ormond Beach, FL

"Michelle Cecchini with Shell Realty sold two houses for me and helped me purchase one in Daytona Beach, Florida. Her diversity in the real estate field amazes me. Even when the market declined, she never waivered from doing what she does best, helping people sell and buy. Michelle knows how to price homes to sell & goes the extra mile every day all day to prove she is an excellent agent. Every chance she gets she betters herself in education when other agents are walking away. I have so much respect for her perseverance. No job is too big or small. She has earned respect in her field. Congrats!" Karen FitzGibbons, Holly Hill, FL

​

"Spanning a 35 year career in the Mortgage profession, I have worked closely with (literally) hundreds of Realtors...both “good” and “bad”. Rarely has one risen through the ranks to truly emulate the very highest levels of professionalism that one can achieve while representing herself, her company and her industry. When you need the services of a legitimate pro that will guide you through the process and actually CARE...Michelle can’t be beat." Steve Lolli, Ormond Beach, FL

“You have been working with us for the past 2 years and we consider ourselves lucky to have found you! You are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. You made this experience a great one. When we felt discouraged you told us that the right one would come along and you were absolutely right. Now we live in a home that we love. I would recommend you to anyone and feel completely confident in doing so.”  John Day and Shanna McRee, Ormond Beach, FL

 

“There are not enough words to describe what a wonderful job Michelle did. She was always so pleasant and never pushy. Michelle was always making sure our ducks were in a row. Especially being first-time homebuyers we had to learn the process and Michelle taught us. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone we know that might be interested in buying or selling a home.” Jack and Melisa Palmorn of Daytona Beach, FL

“In February I started communicating with 4 realtors. I had no definite Florida arrival date for the realtors and they all got tired of communicating with me, except Michelle. She told me early on that she would sell me a property. She stuck with me, and I closed on my condo. She made the process easy.”  P.C., Daytona Beach, FL

 

“Michelle sold my property in a short time after being listed with two other real estate companies for many months. She did great advertising and jumped on every opportunity.” Mary Marcon, Daytona Beach Shores, FL

She was a great help through the closing process and beyond. We would use her again in a second." D. Wengert and A. Valdez, Ormond Beach, FL

 

“Michelle took charge effectively and professionally. She built a virtual tour of the home that was superior to others. She was easy to talk to and no question was too small. She encouraged me to talk with her while another agent seemed annoyed by my insistence to sell my home. Not only did she sell my home in two months, she continues to check with me and allows me to ask follow up questions. Michelle Cecchini is a consummate professional who gives her all to her clients. I encourage others to give her an opportunity to serve.”  Cathy Boyle, Oak Hill, FL

“You were extremely hard working, persistent and determined to sell out house. You utilized every means to advertise and never settled until the house was sold. Most of all you were very professional, friendly and genuine. You had our best interests at heart and were willing to sacrifice to get the job done. You have demonstrated that you are a 5-Star realtor! There was nothing you did not do to market our house. We sincerely appreciate all the time, effort, expense and sheer determination that got our house sold during these tough times. It has been a great pleasure working with you!” Michael & Maxine Elam, Port Orange, FL    

 

“Michelle Cecchini is the epitome of what a good real estate realtor should be. I had the good fortune of meeting her at a low point in my life, not the least which was the fluctuating real estate market.  Her most important asset is her determination to continue the sale regardless of how difficult things are. I highly recommend Michelle Cecchini as a real estate agent. You will not be disappointed.”  Richard Alan Wells, Daytona Beach, FL

 

“Michelle is a very pleasant and outgoing person. You feel really comfortable working with her. She goes out of her way to make appointments to show homes at your convenience. She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions. I would certainly recommend her.”  Wallace & Marie Nutter, Ormond Beach, FL

 

“Your input to me was invaluable. The best example of this was your suggestions to consider the disadvantages as well as the advantages of moving mainland versus beachside. Looking back I realize that it would have been a poor decision for me to buy beachside. The data on crime you showed me was also helpful in making the right decision. The house I decided on is more than I could have hoped for; I couldn’t be happier and I owe that in no small part to your guidance and advice.” William MacKunis of Port Orange, FL

 

“Within my experience of purchasing homes in the past with Realtors, you were much easier to understand as well as to work with. It was a very smooth sales experience and when we decide to purchase another home, we will most certainly call upon you.” Patricia J. Williams, Daytona Beach, FL

 

“Thanks for your invaluable help in renting out my condo and single family home for me. I really appreciate your time and effort. You advertised, met customers to show my properties, screened the tenants and found great tenants for me. The cost for your services was very reasonable. I believe you saved me a couple of months of having my properties sit unrented. Thanks for providing this much needed service in such a professional and friendly manner.”  Phil Foeller, Ormond Beach, FL

 

“Michelle is very organized and stays on top of anything having to do with our property. She worked at keeping all advertising updated and our property rented. She made herself available for questions and is always professional in her handling of people.” Teri Graham, Daytona Beach, FL

 

“Ms. Cecchini did a fabulous job for our family in our search for a home. She was patient and understanding as we searched for a home that we could afford and one that we believed would fit our unique needs. She was able to negotiate an excellent deal for us and made sure we were kept in the loop as to the ongoing transaction. What was great about Ms. Cecchini is that when we moved from Indiana, she was able to find us a rental until we were able to purchase a home. She spent the entire day with us looking at rentals with no thought of selling us a home. After a year of renting, we contacted Ms. Cecchini and she was able to get us going on the home purchase search.”  Tim & Sharon Mirtz, Port Orange, FL

 

“Michelle is so personable and pleasant to work with. She is cheerful, positive, knowledgeable, never aggressive or pushy. Although our schedule was full viewing numerous homes, Michelle never made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Thanks to Michelle’s diligence and professionalism, we were able to close on the perfect home for our family.” Terry Nutter, Ormond Beach, FL

 

“You were a very sincere person. I had no doubts about you handling my property.” Terry Petri, Ormond Beach, FL

“Fantastic job of representing me.” Brian Gavin, Ormond Beach, FL

 

“I wish all my real estate transactions were this easy. Made a new friend and had a blast doing it.” Lisa M. Manning, Daytona Beach, FL

​

“I appreciate Michelle’s honest approach. Ultimately, any given person only wants the truth so they can either accept or reject it on their own terms. I had engaged a few “snake-oil-used-car-salesman” realtors before, so I was well versed in what I did not want. Michelle was truthful, responsive to my requests, took the initiative when it was necessary and made my entire experience better. I would highly recommend her for anyone whose time is valuable. She is a consummate professional from start to finish. Her expertise was welcomed and much appreciated.” Loretta Jennings, Daytona Beach, FL

 

“Michelle worked hard and sold my Mother’s home in 2008 when the economy was terrible. We contacted her again to purchase a home in Ormond Beach. She handled everything for us and was in touch daily. We live in central Illinois and thought it would be difficult being out of state, but Michelle took care of all the details for us. We sincerely appreciate her efforts.” Emily Kroner, Ormond Beach, FL
