Michelle's love for building and design started in her twenties, back when the only inspiration came from magazines and the occasional TV show. Pre-internet! She learned by doing - remodeling, repairing, and beautifying homes with her own hands. Along the way, she talked with friends who had just built their own homes, worked full time while moonlighting in construction, and even studied Bob Vila for tips before HGTV was ever around. What began as curiosity grew into a career. She and her husband saw a need for well-built homes and created over 150 of them. When communities needed more neighborhoods, they developed them. When construction required better equipment, Michelle suggested opening a concrete pump truck business with trucks obtained in Canada and parts from Korea, because why not? Each step taught her something new about how people live, work, and invest in property. A decade ago, Michelle became a Realtor to bring all that knowledge together. Today, she uses her background in construction, development, property management, and business ownership to guide buyers and sellers through every step of the real estate process. Her goal is simple: to help people not only find a property, but to truly feel at home in it. Michelle believes in serving for the greater good and teaming up with her church to help make our community a better one. She has two amazing daughters who have both excelled in their creative talents, obtained college degrees debt-free, and believes in going the extra mile in all areas of life!

Weāve very much enjoyed working with Michelle previously as home buyers, and now as sellers. We benefited hugely from her guidance and encouragement, research, partnership, availability, and diligent work all along the journey to a very successful listing and closure. Wish we could better express how greatly we appreciate Michelle and all the gifts she brings to the table, but hope this gives an idea. Leslie M (Repeat Customer)

Words cannot express what a blessing it was to work with Michelle. She made everything so seamless and easy, she came with a raving review from my son and his wife and boy were they right. She was in constant contact with me and if I wasnāt sure about anything she would make sure I understood. She was always very easy to get in contact with if I needed anything. If anyone ever needs a realtor I will not hesitate to give them Michelleās contact information. Itās not about the money with Michelle she genuinely wants to make sure you are completely comfortable with your decisions. I could go on and on raving about her because she is a breath of fresh air in this world! L Decoux

Michelle has been the best realtor we could have asked for. I thought buying a house for the first time would have been difficult but she has made the whole process so easy. She was always there to answer any questions we had and she educated us on so many things we didnāt even think of asking. This whole process would not have gone as well as it did without her, thank you so much Michelle we are forever grateful for you! Kristiana W.

Michelle went above and beyond to answer all questions which this first time home buyer had. She was very accommodating in helping me through all the paperwork and took the time to go through the contract line by line with me due to the fact I was in Washington state. She is very friendly and helpful and is an asset to your company.

Michelle was wonderful, very knowledgeable, was available for me at every meeting, walk thru, etc. She handled inspections, made phone calls, screened docusign instruments before I signed anything, and explained everything in the purchase process. She is a great agent and I couldn't have done this without her. M Dehart

We can't even begin to say how much we enjoyed working with Michelle. To start with, we appreciated the diligent research, expertise, and guidance she offered to us as potential buyers with each and every home we visited. We felt so comfortable relying on Michelle during each step of the purchase of the home we ultimately chose. We're now making plans with her to sell some property of ours as well. She has become and will continue to be a true and trusted friend. Michelle is a jewel! M McLaughlin

Michelle was absolutely amazing! She was always there to help us with any questions and she led us through the entire buying process with ease. We have bought our current home and more recently our land to build on. Both instances she prepared us for ownership by letting us know what's to come and what to look out for. She really is a great resource and SHE CARES! I would recommend her to anyone simply for the peace of mind when Michelle is in your corner. B Sarradet

Michelle was a great realtor. Very sweet. She actually pursued us after a small inquiry I had made renting a home. We were very impressed with her patience and information on homes. She always contacted back and didn't pressure us when finding a home. She was very honest and took her time to show each place for my family. She gave us time and always kept my interest. I will definitely be contacting her again for future home endeavors. :) S Alfred

Michelle was there for me throughout the entire process of selling my house. She was thorough, and she was available anytime I had a question. My house sold quickly and I'm still amazed at just how smooth the entire process was. I highly recommend Michelle if you're ready to sell your house. J Guidry

Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was a huge purchase for us, and we were back and forth with the decision quite a bit. Michelle was there every step of the way, happy to show us the house numerous times even though it was a 45 minute drive one way. She gathered tons of information for us, quickly and with a smile. Answered all of our questions. There was never any pressure to buy. Very professional, to say the least. Attentive (day and night), personable, knowledgeable, and patient to say a little more. I appreciate everything she did to help put my family in the perfect home. S Skipper

I loved working with Michelle to find our new home. She was great at working with our schedule and very patient with us because we asked her to show us a lot of houses! In the end she helped us close the deal on a house we love. I definitely recommend Michelle Badeaux! J Guilbert
