"Michelle - I cannot begin to thank you enough for all your help during my home buying process! As a first time buyer, the guidance and attentiveness from our first interaction to the date of record made me feel like I had the information I needed to be confident at each decision. The fact you took the time to not only answer my millions of questions (a lot of repeats), but did so with patience and a willingness to educate meant the world to me. With all things in life, there were some bumps along the way, but your approach and experience that you brought to the table made for a stress free transaction for a worrier like me. Again, I appreciate so much all the work you put in! it made for an incredible experience at a momentous life event." -Cody Stalp - ecstatic home owner.

"Now that the closing is officially complete, I wanted to take the time to send you a huge Thank You!! I"ve been through 7 or so real estate transactions and this one was for sure the smoothest process! You were awesome at keeping communication open with everyone so no confusion along the way. Based on your expertise and knowledge of the market and neighborhood's we were able to better negotiate our sale price! Additionally the buyers were so grateful for you and appreciated you walking them through the process. The market is WILD right now and when we entered into this, I was a bit nervous about doing an out-of-state transaction, but you made it seamless. Thanks again and I"ll be sure to recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell in SD!!." -Pilar S.

"We are first time homebuyers and Michelle made the process so smooth and easy for us. She got us the perfect home at the perfect price in a desirable area in Carlsbad. She went above and beyond in representing us in the real estate transaction. Michelle negotiated a sizable credit from the sellers which made the deal even better. She fulfilled our wants and needs and provided us with an overview of the whole buying and mortgage process. She was always available to answer our questions and explain our options. Being first time buyers we were worried the process was going to be overwhelming but Michelle not only made it simple, she made it an enjoyable, memorable experience for me & my husband. We highly recommend Michelle." - Ann

★★★★★
"A friend recommended Michelle to me. I am in the military and was stationed overseas when I started looking for a home in San Diego. Michelle was a huge help in sending listings to me that were my taste and price range. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the downtown San Diego condo market. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new home. Thanks to her I move into my dream home next month!" - Rama

"After working with Michelle for 2 minutes, it was clear she understood what she was talking about. She referred many tenants to me and helped me get my house rented. Really appreciated the hard work she put in and connections she brought to my house. Will use Michelle again." - Joshua

★★★★★
"Michelle helped us purchase a home from start to finish in about 30 days! She was on top of everything the minute an issue came up and her follow up was phenomenal. Our purchase fell over the holidays and she still addressed our concerns even while she was on vacation. She is very flexible, honest, and made our home purchase very pleasant. I would highly recommend Michelle if you are in need of a realtor!"

About Michelle
Michelle’s love for travel has taken her to over 33 countries, but there is no other city in the world she would rather call home than San Diego. For over 10 years Michelle has been selling the San Diego lifestyle she is so passionate about, with nothing short of exceptional service. Her clients range from first time home buyers, investors looking for their next deal to retirees downsizing on their living space.

Michelle graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Sociology and started her sales career as a top-ranking pharmaceutical sales representative. Transitioning to a career in real estate came naturally given her personal interest in the market as a home owner and investor coupled with her fascination for interior design. Michelle prides herself as an expert in showcasing her clients’ homes in the best possible spotlight using the latest trends in staging with Compass’ advanced marketing tools.

When you hire her to help you buy a home, you can expect an in-depth analysis of the home and strategic advice on how to write the most competitive offer compelling sellers to choose you. Communication and organization during the escrow process makes Michelle one of the best in the business as she will handle everything from scheduling inspections to making sure every party meets their contingency deadlines on time.

Michelle’s clients describe her as not just an agent, but an advisor and friend “that will make your real estate transaction seamless from beginning to closing day”. Michelle lives with her husband, two young children and Red Doberman fur baby right here in Mission Hills. When she isn’t busy selling homes, you’ll likely catch her around Fort Stockton at a local coffee shop, the nursery or yoga studio. Michelle is also the founder of Mission Hills Mamas group, a group she formed after experiencing postpartum depression following the birth of her children. She is passionate about building a supportive community for moms across all walks of life, because it truly does take a village to raise a child.
