Michelle Knutson

For Michelle, Nashville represents more than a career move – it’s the lifestyle, community, and culture she knew she wanted to be part of long before officially calling it home. After attending Southern Methodist University and buying her first investment property in Belle Meade, Tennessee, at 23, she knew Music City was where she belonged. Today, Michelle is proud to channel that early love for Nashville into her role at Compass and with Nash Native Team, helping clients put down roots in a city she has long considered special.

Before officially making the move, Michelle spent 5+ years selling luxury real estate with The Agency Beverly Hills, where she worked under the mentorship of industry leaders Paul Lester and Aileen Comora. A Southern California native, she brings West Coast polish and luxury expertise to her Nashville clients, blending it seamlessly with her genuine appreciation for Southern hospitality and lifestyle.

Calm yet firm, patient yet driven, Michelle is known for her polished approach and commitment to service. Her past career in luxury fashion with houses like Chanel, Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop, and Paige taught her the art of discretion and the value of time, skills she now applies to every client relationship. With $55M+ in career sales volume, Michelle continues to build her reputation as a trusted advisor with a thoughtful, client-first approach.
