I believe that real estate is more than just a transaction. As a REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate, I build my business by referral, and therefore my goal is to provide every home buyer and seller in Iowa with an extraordinary experience that puts people before sales.
Closing the sale matters, but more important is having a trusted advisor in your corner who has your back every step of the way and is able to keep you safe from potential pitfalls.

“It was such a blessing to work with Michelle to buy our first house. Knowing we had someone we trusted who put our needs and wants first while also helping us understand the process and what to expect made such a difference! We are so thrilled to have our home, and to have had such a good experience finding it! Thank you Michelle!!”

“Michelle is a wonderful real estate agent, and it was a pleasure working with her! She was very professional and kept us up to date on every step of the process during the sale of our condo. We established an excellent rapport with Michelle, and we trusted her explicitly. She encouraged us to ask questions and always put us at ease. She worked very hard and diligently to sell our condo. Her dedication was outstanding, and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Michelle!”

“Michelle was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout my home buying process. She treated every decision as though she were helping a close friend or family member, making sure I chose a quality home and made the right decisions along the way. She was also very knowledgeable about VA loans and their appraisal and inspection requirements. During our walkthroughs, she proactively pointed out potential issues that the VA might flag. Michelle also recommended loan companies and helped steer me toward grants and other programs I might qualify for, which helped minimize the amount of money I needed to bring to closing. I truly appreciated her guidance and would highly recommend her, especially to fellow veterans using a VA loan. I would absolutely work with Michelle again for any future home buying or selling needs.”

“Although the process was complicated at times, Michelle did a job explaining things and keeping me in the loop”

“Our decision to move to Iowa for a second career was a major venture for us. As a Navy family with 23 years of moving and restarting, we are familiar with this process. However, we had never been to the Midwest, and our timetable for finding a new home was accelerated by my upcoming work start date. Michelle maximized our search capabilities from the start, working with us while we planned our approach from South Carolina. Once we reached Iowa for house hunting proper, her dedication and patience with our location desires allowed us to make deliberate and reasonable decisions regarding the house we chose. Our experience with Michelle Fitzgerald was beyond comparison. Her open and frequent communication, knowledge of the area, and personable attention to detail represent the best of the human aspects of the real estate business. When you are making the commitment to buy or sell your home, your first and only choice should be Michelle Fitzgerald!”
-
“Michelle was on top of it for me as a first time home buyer. She helped me look and tell me if house were still for sale or not on sites such as zillow. And through all of here work, made the home buying process extremely easy.”
-
“This was my first home and I was honestly a bit nervous with the buying process. But just from the initial introduction/phone call, I could tell that she had my best interest in mind, was very experienced with the process and was going to be a joy to work with. And boy did she exceed my expectations! The whole process, from beginning to end, was VERY smooth and painless. She explained everything clearly, listened to any questions/comments/concerns I had and she made every effort to meet my needs. I would recommend her to anyone, a hundred times over!”
-
“Michelle is a collaborative team member, and I am grateful to have had her serve as the team captain. Her knowledge and expertise in real estate are among the many qualities that establish her as an ethical, energetic, honest, and trustworthy real estate professional. Additionally, she has become a personal acquaintance. Working with me, a 69-year-old individual with ADHD and other medical issues, did not pose any difficulty for Michelle. In fact, she consistently demonstrated resilience and dedication across all aspects of her role. I am confident that I tested Michelle's patience, but she remained committed until I closed on my ideal home.”
-
“When Michelle speaks you can tell her words come from years of experience and heart. Not once during the entire home search/buying process did I feel uncomfortable or experience any feeling other than the utmost confidence in Michelle's ability to guide me through the process. She treated me with respect, answered any/all questions promptly and made my first home buying experience as stress free as it could possibly be. I can't give her thanks enough for everything! I'm truly grateful for all of her hard work!”
-
“She is absolutely awesome, won't be disappointed.”
-
“Michelle was so helpful as our realtor, she's very knowledgeable about the area and friendly. She was very good at pointing out issues with each home and making sure we knew if she thought it would be worth it to fix. Or if she thought the seller was asking more than was reasonable for a given home. We bought a home that didn't have a selling agent so she also helped the seller on our behalf. She's even offered to help find contractors for various things since our home purchase as well. She's definitely in it for the long haul. Overall we are very satisfied with our purchase and Michelles ability as a realtor. I would particularly recommend her to first time buyers who have little construction or home maintenance knowledge. Or someone initially moving into the area. I am going to be recommending her to friends and family for sure.”
-

“I can't thank Michelle enough for the incredible experience she provided while helping me find my new home in Cedar Rapids. From start to finish, she was an absolute professional and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and informed at every step of the process. Michelle took the time to really understand what I was looking for, and her knowledge of the local market was invaluable. She provided me with great options, and when I found the perfect place, she made sure everything went smoothly, from the negotiation to the closing. Her attention to detail and constant communication made what could have been a stressful process so much easier. Michelle was always available to answer my questions, offer advice, and even provide recommendations for movers and home services. It felt like I had a true partner in the process, not just a realtor.”

“If you’re looking for a realtor who can leap over obstacles, deflect chaos with her bracelets, and guide you through any real estate process with the strength, grace, and kindness of Wonder Woman herself, look no further than Michelle Fitzgerald! From day one, Michelle brought that unmistakable Midwest-nice warmth combined with superhero-level professionalism. She instantly understood my vision, my wants, and the needs of my situation. What truly set her apart was her diligence and unwavering support, even when we faced a buyer’s agent who fell dramatically short of superhero status. While that agent’s difficulties could’ve derailed the process, Michelle stepped up with courage and hard work. She handled every challenge head-on, protected my best interests, and kept the entire deal moving with wisdom and calm. Michelle was my steady shield, my wise guide, and my powerhouse advocate. A hardworking hero from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend her more! THE Wonder Woman of real estate”

Michelle was very interested in our needs and let me go on about my little miracle baby. She helped us navigate the crazy market and helped talk me off the ledge a time or two when I was getting desperate to find something for my family. I am so grateful she kept me going and calm and steady because we did find a home that works for our family. I love all the community and outreach volunteering that she participates in as well. Michelle is a beautiful person inside and out and I'm so incredibly glad she was thr one to find me on Zillow.”
-
“So Michelle Fitzgerald has the nickname of Wonder Woman Realator, it's not hard to see how she earned that name! From the moment I contacted Michelle and told her my requirements, she morphed into Beast Mode and was relentless in her search. Once the right property became available, she dropped everything to set up our viewing even driving 2 hours in pretty nasty weather to make things work. She walked us through every step of the purchase through closing and answered all my questions at all hours of the day and evening. Her energy and enthusiasm made this a very fun process and I would certainly use her for any property sale. Thanks Michelle!”
