“I cannot say enough about the dynamic duo of Michael and Melanie at Elevate. The team promised that they would help me to sell my house and find a suitable home to move into. I am a 76-year-old woman who had to sell a home I had lived in for 29 years. Michael, Melanie, and Amanda all pitched in to help get my house ready to show. They were in contact with me throughout the process, from calling to check on me to numerous words of encouragement and advice. They are truly caring people. They put the client’s needs first. I have never before worked with people who were genuinely in business to help people. I came to personally care a great deal about them. I hope they keep in touch with me on my new journey. I recommend them without hesitation. Love you guys!
