Michelle brings a rare blend of business leadership, relational intuition, and decades of experience supporting families through major life transitions. Before real estate, she built a career rooted in service - earning degrees in Elementary and Special Education, teaching teen parents, conducting home visits, leading IEP teams, and partnering with families navigating complex circumstances. Her work required empathy, advocacy, and the ability to help people make confident decisions in moments that mattered.

She later moved into ophthalmic equipment sales, becoming a top performer and eventually co‑founding a national equipment company with her husband. Years of negotiating contracts, managing operations, and building long‑term client relationships created a strong business foundation that elevates her real estate practice today.

Michelle’s connection to real estate began long before she became a broker. Through personal investment, she developed a natural eye for value and potential - identifying overlooked homes, elevating them through thoughtful design, and selling them for strong returns. That intuitive understanding of how homes live, function, and photograph now shapes the guidance she offers her clients.

She and her husband feel grateful to be raising their family in Steamboat Springs. Michelle is active in the elementary school, youth sports, her church, and the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club. The relationships built here feel like family and fuel her desire to help others plant roots in this uniquely special town.

Grounded in her faith and fueled by a genuine love for people, Michelle is known for seeing clients quickly, understanding their needs intuitively, and bringing both steadiness and enthusiasm to the process. She specializes in luxury homes, lifestyle relocations, and buyers and sellers focused on investment, offering a discerning eye and a calm, confident presence from start to finish.

For Michelle, real estate is more than a career. It’s an opportunity to serve, support, and help people step into the next chapter of their lives with clarity and confidence.
