Michelle Drum, Broker Associate at Gustave White Sotheby's International Realty

"We have known Michelle for many years. When it came time to sell, there was no question who we would choose to be our realtor. She is stellar! She goes well beyond what you might expect from a realtor. She is warm, funny, brimming with good taste and knows all the local ins and outs of selling/buying a home. She, along with her associate Kate Rooney, helped us out in ways that I doubt others would have done. Since we don't live locally, a tremendous amount of work was put on their shoulders and we are forever grateful for their kindness and generosity of their time. We would not hesitate to recommend Michelle and Kate to anyone looking to sell or buy in Newport and its surrounds. Can't thank you enough!!"

"Response from seller: Michelle is a smart, hardworking, professional real estate agent with great attention to detail. She helped to sell my house and it was a straightforward process. She provided suggestions to make the house more attractive and even provided some indoor and outdoor staging since the house was empty at the time. If I decide to sell another house, she will be my first call."

"I have partnered with Michelle on many real estate transactions during the last 18 years. As a mortgage officer, I have seen how talented she is as a top realtor in Newport County. Michelle has tremendous vision when it comes to helping her clients. Her experience, knowledge of real estate, and understanding of the local market continues to amaze me. Michelle's love and passion for architecture shows often when I speak with her. She is always excited about finding her clients their dream houses. She is patient, thorough, and attentive during all real estate transactions. Michelle has a large network of connections throughout RI which are helpful for finding the right properties for her clients. People enjoy working with her because she is honest, caring, fun, and extremely likeable. She helps take a lot of the stress out of the home-buying process. Michelle has a down to earth approach, and it is easy for people to relate to her. From a negotiation standpoint, Michelle is confident, savvy, persuasive, and has a problem-solver mindset. I highly recommend speaking to Michelle about any residential real estate needs you may have in Newport and all of RI."

"Without question, the best! With years of expertise under her belt, Michelle possesses an unmatched understanding of the real estate market. What sets her apart from the rest is her confidence and deep understanding of the psychology behind buying and selling properties. She recognizes that every house and every buyer is unique, and in our case as sellers, she created a customized plan to obtain the highest possible offer in a very challenging market. We were super pleased with the results, her professionalism, prompt response to questions and concerns, and her optimism throughout the process."

"The Best of the Best! We had the pleasure of working with Michelle Drum + her business colleague Kate Rooney with Gustave White SIR for the successful sale of our residential home located in the Historic Hill neighborhood in Newport. Both Michelle + Kate exceeded our expectations on all fronts. Their ongoing professionalism, tenacity, and detailed communications throughout the marketing, negotiations, and sales process were stellar. We always felt they upheld our best interests at all times and went above and beyond their listing agent responsibilities to better service our specific needs. We would not hesitate to recommend Michelle + Kate to assist anyone with their real estate-related objectives in this challenging market!"
