Sellers must have up to the minute market information through-out the sale process to successfully sell their property; they must understand the process step by step. Michelle works with her seller clients to properly price the property, attractively present or stage the property and market it to fullest using proven marketing techniques. Buyers need to understand the buying process in detail. Michelle’s goal is to clearly define the buying process, set realistic expectations and provide the best resources: lenders, inspectors and other professionals. Even the seasoned investor/buyer needs to understand the changes in financing, negotiation, home inspection and appraisal that have taken place over the past years. A graduate of Loyola University Chicago, Michelle began her professional career in investment real estate in 1987 on Chicago’s north side. In 1991 Michelle transitioned to Development Brokerage. Working in development real estate gave Michelle the full spectrum of real estate: investment analysis, financial planning, price/finish analysis, price/value analysis, marketing, presentation, design, sales, proven negotiation strategies and the satisfaction of seeing more people realize home ownership. Michelle’s focus is now residential real estate, development and relocation. She brings the experience of the business, marketing, and personal dimensions of real estate to every transaction for her clients. She believes that real estate sale or purchase should be convenient and easy for her clients. Native Chicagoans, Michelle and her husband raised their children within the city and northern suburbs. Having lived in Bronzeville for over a decade, Michelle and her husband recently downsized and moved to the South Loop. They remain active members of the community and enjoy the city’s festivals, amazing jazz and blues, outstanding art, beautiful lakefront, fabulous food, array of great neighborhoods and super energy. Michelle’s experience gives her a single mindedness: always bring honesty, superior service, value, accountability and the latest information and technology to her clients. Value added in this ever- changing real estate market, Michelle is a tireless advocate for her sellers and buyers.
