"I have been buying and selling personal real estate for many years in California. Working with Kyle was a refreshing experience and I would rate his services a 10 out of 10. It is rare to find a REALTOR that provides attention to detail, demonstrates true concern for his client, and truly works for himself and his team to the bone to meet the goal."

“We have teamed-up with Michele twice, both times as a buyers' agent. We will continue to employ Michele's expertise in the future because she helps make any transaction easy and stress-free. Usually things come up in the course of a sale, and no matter how seemingly big or small they are, Michele devotes herself to every detail.”

“Jeannie Fromm is the best! We have used her talents as a realtor for two property transactions and we were thrilled with the outcomes. Jeannie has the highest professionalism, integrity and savvy acumen for all real estate matters and responded to all our property needs with speed and cheer. We highly recommended her as a real estate professional.”

"Kyle is more than a real estate professional, he is a real person, who honestly cares to find the right home for you. He is a genuine, kind, and incredibly sweet man, who many timers went the extra mile when we were relocating to the area. He even offered his golf clubs so I could enjoy some of the incredible things this amazing Peninsula has to offer. He is a gem, and truly one of the best things about moving to Monterey."

“Michele Altman answered the phone when I called Sotheby’s 12 years ago to inquire about a simple rental. Since then we’ve become best of friends and she has represented me in the transactions for three different homes. We’ve traveled extensively together and I feel I know her very well. She’s extremely adept at social relationships and putting people together to network within their fields of expertise and she works extremely hard for her clients, but always remains casual and relaxed so that you don’t experience the real estate hustle.”

“Jeannie was very helpful in finding us a second home in Carmel, we met her at a open house and after talking with her my wife and I knew she was the one to help us out. she was very knowledgeable in the area, we also used her when we had to sell our house, and she sold it very fast, since we were out of town, she took care of everything for us. I would definitely use her again as my real estate agent”

"We were fortunate to be referred to Kyle Morrison by our banker. We were told that if we want to get a deal done, Kyle was the man for the job; and that’s exactly how it worked out. We were unfamiliar with the Monterey peninsula, and with his knowledge and time invested, we developed a thorough understanding of the various communities. We started this search not knowing what we wanted, where we wanted it, and how much we were willing to spend. Kyle patiently and methodically helped us come to a conclusion that made sense. We are excited about the home we purchased and truly appreciate and enjoyed the experience we shared. We not only acquired a won...

"We enjoyed working with Michele and her team. She was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She did an especially good job of pricing our property so that it remained competitive in a challenging market. We are grateful to Michele and her team and will definitely be working with her again!"

“Jeanne Fromm is amazing. We have spent a lot of time trying to find the right house and she is extremely patient and informative. I have purchased several homes in my time, Jeanne Fromm has been the best Realtor we have worked with. I would recommend Jeanne unconditionally and without any reservation if you want a knowledgeable, honest and hardworking Realtor.”

"Picking a REALTOR is a challenge. You have no finished products to look at to critique. You have no way of knowing if they perform when a transaction gets complicated. Worst of all you have no idea if they know all aspects of their trade. I have personally been involved in over $300,000,000 in real estate transactions with dozens of REALTORS and the most flawless transaction I have ever been party to was when Kyle represented us as sellers of our last home. Working with Kyle is a truly enjoyable process not only due to his great character, and extensive market, negotiating, and transactional knowledge, but because you feel completely secure that he...

"Our family was growing and we needed to find a new home that met our needs with a fast timeline. After looking at several properties, we found the home of our dreams, a Spanish-style hacienda, close to the ocean, newly updated, in the school district we desired. This house had it all, with one minor detail it was not for sale. Knowing the market so well, Kyle immediately helped us to write a letter to the owner, sharing our story and proposal. To our delight, the owners wrote back sharing their excitement for our timing because they were very interested in selling – especially to the right family. Kyle quickly negotiated the right terms and price f...

“What I like about Sotheby’s realtor, Michele Altman: She is up-beat while dealing with life challenging and changing events. She is, without fail, friendly, understanding and diplomatic. She knows her business including the things that can sneak up on you as a seller (and, in my case, potential buyer) when you aren’t expecting them. She is attentive and truly interested in the process as well as me, the client. Her feedback was honest, practical, and expressed in a way that helped me understand and accept the realities of the process. She was true to her word in every respect but what stands out is she actually DID what she said she would do for me."

“Jeanie is the best realtor in Carmel area. She knows the property around here. She can read your mind and understand what exactly you are looking for. Then she will find the right house for you. Anyone looking for a house in Monterey, Carmel or Carmel Valley she is the best person to talk to.”

"Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Kyle. I was living outside the area so was challenged with being remote. Kyle kept me constantly updated and was willing to jump into action when we needed to. When it came time to negotiate he was calm, and confident and knew what he was doing. Not only did Kyle work with me but he also was working with my mother who was my eyes on the ground since I was moving to the area. Working with two rather opinionated women can often be a challenge, but Kyle was up to the task with grace, patience, and kindness. He was always available to answer our questions, drive me (us) around for hours and hours, multiple...

“Working with Michele Altman of Sotheby’s International Realty was such a pleasure! She is the consummate professional. We had specific criteria we were looking to find in a Pebble Beach vacation house, and Michele worked diligently with us until we found the right property. We highly recommend Michele Altman as your realtor, whether you are buying or selling a home on California’s Central Coast. She strives for excellence and she achieves it!”

“I highly recommend her to all my friends. She is professional, friendly, and helpful when she represented the seller for a 2-million dollars Comstock cottage at Carmel-by-the-Sea. My wife and I were the buyers. We were very happy with the process and results despite the difficulties a neighbor presented due to encroachment. She was patient and helpful. We highly recommend her.”

"My wife and I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a home in Pacific Grove. We had been shopping for homes in PG for several years with little luck. Our lack of success in part had to do with the service we previously received from a competitor of your company. Then Kyle came into our lives. What a terrific agent and a wonderful guy he is. My wife, Marita, and I knew Kyle would one day sell us a home after meeting him at an open home in PG because he was just so darn friendly and smart about real estate in and around PG. During our deal, Kyle was the consummate professional who followed up and every detail going above and beyond what he was lega...

“Truly knowledgeable and professional, Michele is not only a thorough agent but a genuine person. She is inspiring to work with and I could not recommend a better agent In Carmel!”

“I contacted a number of realtors on the Monterey Peninsula looking to work with someone who was knowledgeable, service minded and had my best interest as a prime concern. I chose to work with Jeannie as she was the one who was not only very professional, but also was determined to make the best deal for my family. "

"I’ve known Kyle for over 15 years and have had the chance to work with him and his clients professionally over the years. As a contractor in Monterey County, I worked with several REALTORS regularly, but Kyle was by far the best to work with, as he holds the same values and integrity I held with my own company. The services that Kyle offers go far beyond any REALTOR I’ve ever worked with. I’ve witnessed Kyle handle many things for his clients, as a lot of homes in Monterey County tend to be second residences for the owners. I’ve personally seen Kyle set up inspections, and contact contractors for repairs or upgrades, all the way down to getting the...

"Kyle is one of a kind. I am a single mom and schoolteacher with a teenage daughter, and I worry about everything. I was stuck in a unique yet challenging situation, a 5-year “interest only” loan that was about to expire on my modest apartment in pacific grove, a “tenants in common” unit which can be confusing for potential buyers. I decided to sell instead of refinance so that I would have more financial freedom. I wanted to go back to renting. From the moment I met Kyle, I took a deep sigh of relief, even though I am skeptical by nature. He handled every detail with a kind heart and a professional manner and he sold my unit. He is a mediator, a fr...

"After we made an offer on the home that we ultimately purchased, we became aware of certain conditions of concern. Michele called in the appropriate experts to evaluate them and suggest solutions. We felt that the issues were complicated, but Michele saw each one through to our satisfaction. She worked very hard to make sure that all of our interests and needs were met in the transaction, and that all our concerns were addressed. We are happy to say we love our new place on the Monterey Peninsula."

“I highly recommend her to all my friends. She is professional, friendly, and helpful when she represented the seller for a 2-million dollar Comstock cottage at Carmel-by-the-Sea. My wife and I were the buyers. We were very happy with the process and results despite the difficulties a neighbor presented due to encroachment. She was patient and helpful. We highly recommend her.”

Dear Kyle, my wife, Yong-Ling, and I want to thank you for being who you are. What you have done [and continue to do] for us has been enormously beneficial for our long-term future and we are most appreciative. Having lived in Shanghai, China for the past 18 years amidst unhealthy pollution, we have spent many of our vacations for the past seven years researching where to eventually settle. We’ve checked out Vancouver Island, Seattle, Portland, Alabama, North Caroline, England, France, Thailand, and New Zealand. Each of those places at least one critical negative for us. You introduced us to the multiple micro-climates, healthy environment, and cult...

“Our experience in working with Michele Altman was exceptional. She understood what we were seeking, and steered us to promising properties. She was unfailingly patient as we looked over various homes, and when we did finally find the one we wanted, was superb in her responsiveness and support through the purchase and escrow process. She's also very helpful with referrals for local contractors for home improvements and maintenance. She's very friendly to work with - a class act. You'll certainly enjoy working with her.”

"This was our second time working with Michele. We had such a wonderful experience when we purchased a property, that we didn’t hesitate for a second to call her to represent us for a property sale. She is by far the most professional agent we have ever worked with. Our sale was during a difficult period for real estate sellers. Michele was extremely innovative in keeping our listing “fresh” in the marketplace, and was attentive to every detail about the staging of our home. She made all the difference in creating the buyer appeal that enabled our sale. In our estimation, Michele is the Number One choice in the area for real estate transactions and ...
