Meet Michelle

A graduate of the University of Notre Dame, Michelle started her career in the IT industry. She bought her first property when she was 22 years old and has loved real estate ever since. Since then, she has been awarded a patent from the US government, built and sold a business, run various non-profit organizations in the community, and taught at our local schools. Michelle has lived in the area for over 28 years with her husband Bill and their children Stephen, Heather, Brian, and Jennifer.

Michelle and Bill have been married for 39 years; they met working for the same IT company. Their four children were all born in Colorado but raised in California. Stephen is a radiologist and lives in Sacramento. Heather is a director at Yelp and lives in San Ramon. Brian is married and a dad, works as an engineer at Microsoft, runs his own surfboard company, and lives in Vista, CA. Jennifer lives in San Diego and works as a paralegal for a company in Marin. Michelle has two horses, Cody and Duke, whom she rescued over 15 years ago — they have touched countless lives, serving as therapy horses for adults with cancer and lesson horses for the neighborhood children. She also has an English Springer Spaniel named Toby, whom she has had since he was a puppy. A history buff, Michelle has given Lafayette history tours to every 3rd grade class in Lafayette since 2008.

Michelle’s background in IT and project management shows up in how she runs a transaction — the details get handled before they become problems. Most of her clients are still in touch years later.
