About Michelle

But she’s not your typical CRE find. With such a wide and diverse skillset—she doesn’t own a blue suit, but will will be the one with lipstick, lashes, long hair, and heels in the dirt of a construction site. She has fun with what she does, and is the person that seems to "always know a guy." Whether it’s deals, people, or opportunities, her love is connecting to help others. Her approach is always strategic and about revenue, either making it, finding it or saving it. Her motto is “find good people and stick together.”
