Buyer Review
Layne & George Platopoulos, St. John, IN
Michelle and Laura never failed to go above and beyond! Selecting this team was easy as they were able to answer every question and provide detailed data to support their findings.
Michelle worked tirelessly to get us into our home before our anticipated close date! She ensured our offer was reasonable and considered other things to request that we had not previously considered.
When I met Michelle I instantly felt that she and Laura were there to help not to make a commission. This team understood our "wants" and our "needs." They never tried to make us go outside of our comfort level or budget. They have become friends and even my children love to interact with them. You know they say if your dogs and kids like a person then you can trust them...and both our dogs and our kids LOVE Ms. Michelle!

Art and Lula Martlink, St John, Indiana
Michelle Hurckes sold our previous home and helped us to find our retirement home in a period of seven months - start to finish. She listened to us and did a superb job of always being available to answer our questions and getting us to the next step. We will recommend Michelle to friends and family for their real estate needs.

Jeff and Tracy, Cedar Lake
I would recommend anyone to Michelle and her office. Even though I knew Michelle before this transaction, she is an awesome person, and went above and beyond to help us find a house that would fit our needs. She took us under her wing, and made the whole transaction go smoothly
