Michelle Schwartz with The Agency


“Being Jen Levinson’s step-sister gave me access to a lot of real estate agents in LA, and I chose to work with Michelle Schwartz. Michelle understood what we wanted, was extremely responsive and made herself available to my husband and I whenever we needed! She was able to successfully navigate us through this crazy real estate market to not only find the best house for us, but also provided invaluable advice for how to actually get it. We love our new home and look forward to many memories here. I cannot recommend Michelle enough to any family. She rocks!” – Debbie & Chris Gough(schwartzgough@gmail.com)

After getting bids from numerous companies, I am overjoyed with the decision that I made and could not be more pleased with the outcome of the project! Professional, responsive to my questions and easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend!
