Michelle was born and raised in Angels Camp, California. She attended local schools such as Bret Harte High School and began her real estate career in 2003 with the Carmel-based firm John Saar Properties. There, she shaped the marketing vision behind many of the Monterey Peninsula’s most iconic homes, creating sophisticated global campaigns that married breathtaking visuals with discrete, high-touch positioning for a discerning clientele. Her creative direction and branding expertise helped lead the firm into a successful partnership with Sotheby’s International Realty in 2012.
In 2020, Michelle returned to her hometown roots and joined Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, where she brings that same white-glove standard to the Sierra Foothills of Northern California. She believes luxury is an experience, not a price point. Whether you’re stepping into homeownership for the first time or acquiring a legacy ranch in the foothills, you’ll receive the same level of genuine care, discretion, and results-driven guidance.
If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just curious what’s going on with the local market, Michelle will meet you for coffee at Grounds, and she’ll be there from the first conversation all the way to handing over the keys and usually a bottle of local wine to celebrate.
When Michelle isn’t out showing or listing property, she’s a dedicated community supporter, serving on the board of the Greenhorn Creek Homeowners Association, volunteering with Habitat for Humanity’s Veterans Build Program in Calaveras County, or just enjoying everything the area has to offer - walking her dachshund on the local trails, wine tasting in the vineyards or out hunting for antiques.
