Michelle is a mom, a lover of life, and a proud Realtor. She has been active in real estate since 2006, starting my career as a Project Manager for a home builder. This start was a perfect way for her to be involved with the entire home-buying process from the ground up. Michelle assisted buyers with building plans, permitting, and selections of interior and exterior finishes. Michelle then went on to work for several different brokerages, primarily focusing on working with buyers. I worked extremely hard during the market crash and helped many home sellers through short sales, as well as home buyers, secure tremendous savings.  Michelle later obtained her broker's license and managed a couple of brokerages, gaining valuable experience in helping other real estate agents and clients with all their real estate needs. Michelle also obtained a property management permit to assist with rental needs within our area.

Michelle has taken great pride in staying up to date on all the changing real estate needs of our clients, while still maintaining the personal touch that is sometimes lacking in our fast-paced world. Helping others purchase their first home, all the way through to assisting a seller in downsizing and selling their last home, is something Michelle is truly blessed and thankful to be a part of.
