About Michelle
Born and raised in Menlo Park, Michelle graduated from Santa Clara University with a Business degree in Marketing. After a brief sales position at a pharmaceutical co., she jumped into the business in 1998 to manage her family's property portfolio and has been living and breathing real estate ever since.
Throughout her career, she's focused on residential sales from Burlingame to Los Altos. Her philosophy is simple: to cater to her clients through quick follow up, provide them with concierge-level service, strong negotiation skills and to be their trusted source for all things real estate.
Since 2007, she's remodeled over 30 homes on the Peninsula with an excellent team giving her an extensive list of trusted and valued contractors who provide cost effective preparation of a home about to hit the market. This immense experience has led her to suggest improvements that will give her clients the most value for their investment. Add in her passion for interior design which is instrumental in giving advice on marketing a home in the best possible light.
For the past 20 years, she's maintained a high reputation in the industry by ensuring successful and timely transactions backed by a very honest and direct approach. The results have been satisfied clients, many from Google and Apple, who have given her referrals and repeat business.
Testimonials
“Michelle was amazing. We were looking for a property which wasn't in her sweet spot geographically, but she worked tirelessly to get to know the area, provide comps, find us contractors and people to talk to in order to make the right decision. She also is an incredible negotiator and helped us bring the price down a large amount and sealed the deal. Her integrity is unquestionable, her responsiveness is outstanding, and we would recommend her unreservedly.”

“Michelle helped me buy my first home in the Bay Area, and I couldn't have asked for a better partner in the process. She cut through all the drama and focused on finding my perfect home, which she did in a short period of time. She knew how to work with the banks and other agent to make the whole process smooth and painless for me. She's truly one of the best agents and is just a great person to get to spend time with as well. Nobody will ever regret having Michelle on their side!”

“Michelle was absolutely fantastic to work with. This was our first house purchase in the US and Michelle was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process. She has extensive knowledge of the Bay Area, is professional, very responsive and thorough. We were looking in a few areas with different ideas on what we might end up with; Michelle could not have been more patient and helpful in working through the various options. Michelle at all times acted in our best interests while at the same time being fair and reasonable. We fully trust her and would strongly recommend her.”
