Hudson Valley

Finding the right home.  

About

We all dream of having a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood. Ulster County offers the perfect blend of city sophistication and country charm. As a real estate agent, I thoroughly enjoy searching for new and exciting homes for both new and returning clients. Exploring new areas always leads to enchanting discoveries that make the search even more exciting.

I’ve sold, renovated, and been on both sides of real estate. I also built my home in Walkill. Although I live in Walkill full-time, I own multiple homes, including one in Brooklyn. I’m knowledgeable about inspections, identifying and avoiding maintenance issues, and discovering hidden treasures. I have also worked with international clients and have experience in 1031 exchanges. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients delighted faces and hearing their cheers after their bid has been accepted!

I’ve been active in the Hudson Valley for over twenty years. When I’m not finding dream homes, I’m an avid hiker, rock climber, skydiver, and yogi. My family and pal Winnie enjoy exploring, and my daughter has grown up going to the schools and loving the area. I’m familiar with the fast-paced city dash and the serene country lifestyle. 

After arriving from London, I started working in the field of hair and make-up in New York. Throughout my career, I have worked with several famous directors such as Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen. I have also had the privilege to work with renowned actors like Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Morgan Freeman, Alec Baldwin, and Susan Sarandon. In addition, I have worked with some of the most famous music artists in the world, including Paul McCartney, Boy George, Billy Idol, Blondie, Duran Duran, George Michael, White Stripes, Donna Summer, Coldplay, and John Legend.

Working with different individuals has allowed me to develop strong relationship-building skills and attention to detail.

Working with Michelle was absolutely incredible. We met her by chance and immediately clicked with her. We were searching for a home and Michelle offered to represent us. I have never met someone with such positive energy and dedication! Michelle worked so hard to help us find a home. We looked at a few homes and Michelle was very flexible when it came to visiting homes. She understood exactly what we were looking for and showed us lovely houses. There were a few things we wanted to change in the home and Michelle communicated with the seller to help with coordinating that! Shes an incredible person and an amazing agent! Her energy is infectious and if you’re looking for you new home, Michelle is the absolute best agent to have!

We were looking to move to NYS from PA and put in an inquiry for a property on zillow. We received a call from Michelle almost immediately and the communication has been top knotch ever since! Michelle has enthusiasm and transparency that makes this process so much easier. She works tirelessly to help you find the perfect home for your family. We ended up finding a new build which is a whole different ballpark in home buying, but she was there to navigate and help us in every way she possibly could. We will be moving in soon and she has regularly checked in for MONTHS and taken photos to send us progress of our new home because we are not in the area yet. You won’t regret working with Michelle and she will find you your dream home!

Michelle was incredible to work with! As first time home buyers, we were very nervous about the process. Michelle guided us the whole way, always taking time to talk and allay our fears. After a few weeks of looking, Michelle helped us find and close on our dream home! She even was able to negotiate it under the asking price!! I know that we will continue to keep in touch, as we see Michelle as more than a real estate agent, but a friend. She is warm, funny, genuine, and all around delightful to be around. I highly recommend Michelle if you are looking for a home in the Catskill region!
