“I took real estate pre-licensing classes from Michelle in Idaho Falls in 2007. Michelle is a great instructor who connects well with the class as a whole, as well with individuals in the class. She is clear and concise, positively interactive, knows the material backwards and forwards and supportive of her students beyond the classroom. I know that should I ever have a question about the finer points of real estate or Idaho law as it pertains to real estate, I could freely go to Michelle for discussion even as she is with a different brokerage.

I would highly recommend Michelle as an instructor.” – Chris Pelkola Lee, Realtor

” Michelle was able to teach us the information needed to be successful in Real Estate. Her field experience and real examples made learning easy. Thanks to her detailed instruction I was able to pass the National and State exams without studying after hours.

We had a dynamic class and Michelle was able to teach to the different learning styles of her students. I have also worked with Michelle since graduating, and I am continually impressed with her level of professionalism in this industry. I recommend her without hesitation to family and friends because I know they will always get the best service possible.” – Clint Collins

“Michelle is one of the best Real Estate Instructors I have ever hired. Her content delivery method is straight forward and easy to follow. 98% of her students have passed the required class room examinations on their first attempt. This is an exceptional result given the difficulty of the material and the shot time frame the material is covered in.

Great Work Michelle!” – Don Crowell

“Michelle B. provided two ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) classes for the EXIT Realty offices in Colorado. Her teaching style was comfortable and inviting and the information was incredibly relevant and delivered in a way for our folks to take back and implement it into their systems and they appreciated the opportunity to work with Michelle! Through the process, Michelle’s communication and preparedness was always prompt and exceeded expectations. She made it much easier putting together TWO separate ABR classes in one week, not only possible, but a pleasure!” – John Gillam, Regional Director at EXIT Realty Colorado
