About Me

Michelle was raised in a multi-family home in New York City that her family owned for over four decades. After spending time in upstate New York, she made North Carolina home. While she’s well-versed in all areas of real estate, her true passion and expertise are rooted in equestrian properties where she proudly holds an EquiAgent certification.

As the owner of her own farm, Michelle lives the lifestyle she helps others buy and sell. With three horses and two mini donkeys, she understands firsthand what makes an equestrian property functional, valuable, and uniquely personal. This authentic connection gives her clients a competitive edge when buying or selling horse properties. If that’s not enough, what truly sets her apart is the Pricing Strategy Advisor certification she holds. Combining her knowledge of living on a farm with the PSA certification, Michelle is further equipped with advanced tools and training to position properties at the right price—maximizing her clients’ return on investment.

Whether you're buying a townhome in the city or selling a luxury estate on acreage, Michelle brings a seasoned strategy to every transaction. Her expertise covers the Triangle, Sandhills and coastal Wilmington areas. Alongside her husband David, she co-owns Vintage Shutters & Hardware, a business that serves custom builders and homeowners nationwide.

Michelle is fiercely protective of her clients' interests, approaching every transaction with equal parts compassion and tenacity. If she can take the stress off your plate, she will. And when it’s time to negotiate? That’s her favorite part.

Michelle and David have two children, Nicolas and Isabella. When she’s not working for her clients or spending time with family, she’s at the farm, where life is a little slower—but the work never stops.
