About Michelle Price

"Taking Care of your American Dream"



  • Born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa
  • Enjoy my family and young daughter
  • Love all sports, travel, computers and reading


After living in Los Angeles and Seattle for 16 years, I moved back to Des Moines to take care of my mother whos health was failing from Alzheimers. After 5 years of helping my father take care of her, I convinced him to place my mother in a nursing home which she is still in and doing well. What I didnt realize at the time I moved back home, was that I only had 5 years left with my father who was my mentor, my friend, and my parent. He died of cancer in 1998. It was the worst and best time of my life because I was given an incredible gift.

The gift was the knowing that family is the single most precious blessing I have. Its not money, fancy cars or clothes, but the people who love you who are the greatest treasures in life. My spouse and I have a young daughter whom we spoil (with love) and I hope to pass this gift onto her. And another gift I received at the time I moved back to Des Moines was my real estate career which I work as a business and treat like my family. My father, who was in sales for 40 years, told me that "sales is just helping people get what they want." And thats what I do. I am committed to helping you make smart real estate decisions and I put your interests above my own, see what my clients say. I welcome the opportunity to help you. And thank you for taking the time to visit my web page.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU AS A BUYER?

1. FINDING I will save you both time and effort in finding the home of your choice. I have many resources to tap to find just the right home. Not all homes available will be found on the Internet or in the Multiple Listing Service. Further investigation into the market may reveal just the home youve been waiting for!

2. SELECTING Which one do you choose? Only you can make that decision, but I will give you honest, knowledgeable advice weighing the positives and negatives about each home. You will want to know if this home is a good investment now and if it has good resale value in your future.

3. FINANCING I can help you understand the various financial programs available and help you select the loan that best suits your individual needs.

4. WRITING THE OFFER TO BUY I will share with you my years of experience of selling hundreds of homes to help us write your offer to buy. Expert, honest advice concerning terms, price, inclusion or exclusion of items, inspections, etc. all come into play to protect your financial and legal interests.

5. NEGOTIATING I am your representative presenting your offer to the sellers. Again, years of experience and expertise selling hundreds of homes have given me the skills and proficiency to help you negotiate, reject and accept the best terms for you.

6. DUE DILIGENCE Now is the time to make further evaluations of the property such as inspections of the homes condition which may include structure, roof, termites, etc., as well as required title work and an appraisal. I will explain and help you understand all the steps needed to make sure you are making a smart real estate decision.

7. ESCROW & CLOSING I will make sure your lender has all the required documents to make your transaction move through the closing process efficiently. Any bumps in the road will be my personal mission to smooth out. And I will be there for your closing day to answer any final questions or concerns. Congratulations you have just bought a beautiful new home!

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU AS A SELLER?

1. PRICING I will share with you current information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and conditions of competing properties. In this light, I will help you set your list price to assure your home will sell quickly and without hassles.

2. MARKETING I will give you a copy of my 21-step marketing plan. This plan which I have developed exclusively for my sellers, along with my extensive networking and cooperative relationships with other real estate agents will get your home sold.

3. PRESENTING I will recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your home. And then I will help you achieve the most inviting, pleasing atmosphere for prospects to view your home.

4. SECURITY I will save you time, effort and worry to assure that only interested pre-screened qualified prospects are brought through your home accompanied by an agent.

5. NEGOTIATING Again, my years of experience and expertise selling hundreds of homes has given me the skills and proficiency to help you negotiate, reject and accept the best terms for you.

6. MONITORING AND CLOSING Questions may arise between the initial signing of the offer and closing. Maybe, unexpected repairs are required for the buyer to obtain financing or a cloud in the title is found. I will help you to resolve those issue and create the necessary documentation to ease the transaction to closing. Congratulations you have successfully sold your home!
