Meet Michelle

Marin County is a place of extraordinary beauty, healthy and high level resources, and an extraordinary quality of life, located at the door of a world-class, culturally alive, and strategically important US city. Now in 2025 with the shortest commutes to the San Francisco city center, demand to live or invest in Marin County has heightened. As a result, a more refined understanding of the real estate market is priceless. Strategy is essential for success in the current marketplace!

Michelle has represented and gained the trust of clients and top executives from nearly every category of business: Google, Nvidia, Bank of America Securities, McKinsey & Co., Citigroup Global Markets, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Pillsbury, Winthrop & Partners LLP, RBC Wealth Management, KPIX-Channel 5, Microsoft, Presidio Trust, Finestone Richter LLP, The Gap, Nextdoor, Pottery Barn and other significant institutions.
 
Michelle's advanced level of experience offers invaluable benefit to her clients, who gain access to her vast store of real estate contractual knowledge, home renovation expertise, developed design eye, exceptional marketing skills, and long-standing successful resource relationships with her fellow agents, inspectors, and talented contractors. Having these resources at your fingertips puts you at a great advantage in negotiations, home preparation for market and stress reduction with the process of buying and selling a home. Knowledge + know-how = comfort, confidence and success!

Important also is enjoying the experience of who you are working with. Michelle will keep you in the know on the latest Marin and SF dining scene, the SF Symphony and SF Jazz calendar, her latest Marin trail discovery or travel buy, or invite you to see the latest exhibition at the de Young Museum in SF, where she has been an Accredited Docent for 29 years. Michelle’s caring, knowledgeable, and respectful nature has won her a loyal fan base, with several clients completing multiple successful transactions with her through the years. (see her Client Testimonials). The growth of her business has largely succeeded through referrals by past happy clients.
 
Michelle has won numerous sales awards through the years and has been a strong supporter of many community causes for decades, including the Mill Valley Film Festival, Mt Tamalpais School, Tamalpais High School, and The Redwoods Senior Living Facility. She has lived in Mill Valley since 1995 (Belvedere from 1989 to 1994) where she raised her now 33 year old daughter Marissa.
