Michelle was great, she was there to help throughout a very long, and tiring buying process. Like many people, we knew what we wanted, until we didn't. And then we changed our minds again. But no matter, she was helpful and able to provide us with homes that met our requirements. We had some specific things that we wanted to sort out with the sellers and Michelle was a good point of contact for handling all of that communication. Declan Byrnes Enoch

Very helpful kind and courteous she was prompt with returning calls and meeting at homes. She is knowledgeable of the many different areas we researched homes John DeArruda

Michelle was very proactive and professional from the beginning. Her enthusiasm and energy throughout the whole process from listing our home with her to the closing never wavered. Michelle is extremely responsible and professional and I would highly recommend working with her. Melanie Penders

Michelle was so calm and focused as we looked for a place in the Hudson Valley. She was responsive to our needs and the variety of requirements we put in front of her. We feel grateful especially for her understanding of the local situations and knowing a range of people who have helped us since we moved in in the area. Rose Else-Mitchell

We are thanking our lucky stars that I saw the house of our dreams on a Zillow listing one fateful morning, which put us in the capable hands of Michelle. It was a whirlwind process, and Michelle kept us on track and focused, making sure the house WOULD BE OURS!! The process was smooth and easy, and we appreciated not only her agent skills but also her knowledge of the area. All in all, a wonderful experience. Janice Bissell

Michelle recently helped us with the purchase of a second home, and we couldn’t be happier with all that she did for us throughout the process. First, she helped guide our search, really understanding what we were after and what would work best for our family in the area we had targeted. When the process became competitive, she went above and beyond in advocating for us in way that was skilled and purposeful but respectful to all involved. Throughout the entire process Michelle was reliable, professional, dedicated, warm, and always there with the right advice and support. She really knows all the necessary details of real estate and purchasing a home -- we would have been lost without her. Michelle made buying our home as stress free as possible and we recommend her highly to anyone looking for a home in the Catskills or surrounding areas. Lydia Caitlin

Michelle was amazing to work with!! We were all over the place with what and where we were looking and Michelle was beyond patient with us and helped to find and negotiate the perfect home for us! I have recommended her already to others and will continue to do so!! Having been through the home buying process before we knew right away Michelle was a great find based on her positive attitude and promptness in returning calls, emails and finding answers to questions that would come up during the search. Finding a Great agent isn’t easy, so grateful to know Michelle Bergkamp! Mark McAlpine

We started working with Michelle back in April 2019 and she was always there for us every step of the way in our home search and ultimate purchase last month. Being over two hours away made the process challenging but Michelle always went out of her way to make things easy for us. She always had our best interests at heart and helped us avoid many pitfalls. She was very patient with all our demands and very particular needs. Bottom line we truly trusted her and respected her judgement. Plus she’s just an all round genuinely nice person. Her knowledge of the area is excellent. Her knowledge of building versus buying was truly helpful as we considered both. She has a great network of professionals for basically almost any home need you may encounter. We feel lucky to have found Michelle! Bejan Shirvani

5 stars across the board! Michelle went beyond our expectations representing us as buyers. My family and I were moving across country and were unable to see listings directly, but Michelle took time to FaceTime us on the showing we ultimately decided to purchase. She also convinced us to not move forward with a house we were excited about at the time which was the right decision. She took a risk with how serious we were since we were not local and we appreciated that. She puts her clients ahead of her bottom line which is rare and refreshing. If you want someone hard working, honest and with intimate knowledge about the Ulster County and Hudson Valley, Michelle’s your partner. We have been in our new home for almost 6 months and are so grateful for her direction. Highly recommended! My only recommendation would be if you were to partner with her, be serious about your desire to buy a home because she definitely put the work in for us! Mike Leggett

Michelle is a dream agent- she listens to what you're looking for and is able to make suggestions from there. Incredibly hands-on and thorough, she suggested a property that ended up being exactly what we were looking for, guided us through the process and was a sounding-board for all our big decisions. Plus, she really knows the ins-and-outs of the Catskill/Hudson Valley region. I look forward to working with Michelle again. Hope Troup

Michelle is simply the best ! My husband and I worked with her for many months in order to find the perfect place for us - and she found it ! She always had our best interests in mind and contacted us whenever she saw a place that that she thought would be right for us. She is patient and cares very much about her clients. Consider yourself lucky if she is your agent! Carla Erice

Michelle is a broker above the rest! She worked with us for nearly 1.5years during COVID until we closed on our perfect upstate home. It was a crazy and intense market with hundreds of listings popping every week, bidding wars, all cash offers, etc. She took the time to really understand what we were looking for in a property and only sourced and showed us listings that were a true fit. She never wasted our time hauling us to listing after listing just to try and close a deal. More than anything, she is exceptionally knowledgeable about the Hudson Valley, property values, and the broader market. And if she didn't have the information right away, her team is the best in the business so their connections and network are an incredible resource. This was invaluable to us as we are based in NYC and were exploring the area (while also looking to purchase) at the same time. We needed a broker (and team) we could trust to be our eyes and ears on the ground ... and she was it. There were so many ups and downs in our long search, I thought she'd give up on us at some point for sure. But her dedication to us never wavered and when we finally closed on our home (with her expert negotiation!) - we not only knew we found Rachna Khosla

It was a pleasure working with Michelle. She spent the time to fully understand what I was looking for and not only help me find it but also helped me every single way through the buying process. She is knowledgeable, professional and I would highly recommend to anyone. Khurram Farooq

As an agent myself, I know the importance of having a local expert on your side. I enjoyed every minute of working with Michelle. She was knowledgable, professional, hard working and found me the perfect property! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for property in the Hudson Valley or the Catskills! Einat Bar
