"Michele is an excellent realtor and we will use Michele again and would highly recommend her. Being out of state buyers, we relied on Michele's extensive knowledge of the 30A area and market. She was very patient to answer all our questions, and we were very pleased with how prompt Michele responded. Michele always went above and beyond to check in with us and to take some of our questions to her other professional contacts to make sure we had the best and most accurate information. Michele exceeded our expectations for all she did for us as a realtor!"

We bought another house with her help and it too went very quickly and very well with her good advice and ability to make things happen."

About Michele

Title:

Founding Agent of Compass 30A and Broker Associate Bailey Advisory Group, Team Leader

Superpower:

Innate ability to eat a whole tub of ice cream in one sitting

Zigs and Zags:

The world shutting down in March of 2020 due to a worldwide pandemic was the least of her worries as her husband of 27 years was diagnosed with stage four salivary gland cancer the same month. The next two years were spent in treatment in the midst of figuring out how to support her family, building their dream house, opening a real estate brokerage while being president of the local Realtor association among other things. Did I mention she and Scott had 3 teenage boys to manage in the midst of - well, see above. Part of her life story ended when Scott passed away in December of 2021 but the next series of struggles began as a solo parent to three very strong willed humans. I think they call it motherhood. But she’s doing it - Day by day, sometimes minute by minute - because she believes everything is figureoutable in the end and there is nothing in this world more important than faith and family.

Work Life:

Michele is a former court reporter by trade who worked with real estate attorneys hearing how everything went wrong for agents and homeowners for over ten years in Birmingham, Alabama. The birth of her first child lead to a relocation to the beach and a transition out of the legal world into a more creative one. She opened a scrapbook store until two more pregnancies resulted in two more sons and the nanny making more than she did. A brief hiatus from work allowed her to switch gears into real estate over a decade ago and she hasn’t looked back since. A desire to improve the industry she serves lead to the past ten years serving on various Realtor committees, boards and organizations and becoming an advocate for her clients in all things related to home ownership like insurance reform and private property rights. A dedicated education junkie she has amassed a plethora of letters after her name indicative of her passion for learning which most folks doesn’t know what they mean but demonstrate a desire to always be learning more about the industry she serves.

Paying it Forward:

Bailey Brigade was founded in 2022 after the passing of Michele’s husband, Scott Bailey. Born from the need to pay forward the kindness shown to the family by the local community, the Brigade provides backpacks filled with comfort care items and co-pay assistance for local chemotherapy patients. Annually the Bailey Brigade provides scholarships to local high school students giving opportunities for good people to become great doctors and nurses.
