Michele's Recommended Lenders
In the fall of 2003, Mark Wheeler and I opened our own Brokerage, Roots Realty. Prior to Roots I worked for several other brokerages, beginning in 1995 when I first was licensed. My focus through all the years has been assisting my clients in achieving their real estate goals, through education and networking.
Portland’s sustainability is very important to me. My work is a reflection of my continued efforts as an Activist. One of the best aspects of being a Realtor is networking with my clients, sharing ideas and skills; bringing people together. Growing up in California in a city with open-minded family and friends enabled me to recognize the beauty of diversity at a young age and I work hard daily to bring about positive change in our community. I am a firm believer in real estate counseling and education for my clients. The more my clients understand the process and the decisions they get to make, the smoother the whole transaction will be. The energy I give to the transaction has given me the gift of a referral business, for which I am deeply grateful.
In addition to helping buyer and sellers achieve their goals, my work includes managing Roots Realty. I am also actively involved in our Realtor organizations where volunteering my time gives me the chance to shape the way the modern Realtor works. I am a Local Director for the Portland Metropolitan Association of Realtors and a State Director for the Oregon Association of Realtors. This year I Chair PMAR's PAC Trustees. This is a unique way to be involved, meeting candidates seeking local political office and helping our industry through vital changes. Additionally on an even more local level, I was elected to the Board of Directors for the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association where I also serve as Secretary. I truly enjoy my civic involvement!
My time away from real estate is spent gardening, dancing (both teaching and performing), white water rafting, reading, mushroom collecting, playing with our 3 cats, concocting potions in the kitchen while listening to music, and exploring nature in my canoe. I love being a daughter, a sister, an Aunt, a friend.
