SALES EXECUTIVE
Meet Michelle – Michael’s right-hand “man” (her words, not his!) and the powerhouse behind much of the buyer-side magic at Team Rea.
With over a decade of experience in real estate, Michelle brings a wealth of knowledge, a sharp intuition for what buyers are looking for, and a genuine passion for helping people find the one. Her strong background in property makes her a natural at pairing the right people with the right homes — and she does it with confidence, warmth, and a touch of humour.
As Sales Executive, Michelle is focused on one key goal: creating clear and effective communication between buyers and sellers. That means ensuring every potential purchaser has the opportunity to see, fall in love with, and make an offer on your property. She handles private viewings, fields buyer enquiries, builds relationships, and writes up offers — all while making the process feel smooth and stress-free.
She’s the friendly face buyers trust, the steady hand sellers rely on, and the behind-the-scenes magic that keeps the momentum going. And when Michael’s calendar is packed or his phone is ringing off the hook, Michelle is the one calmly keeping things on track and making sure no opportunity is missed.
In short, she’s not just a key part of the team — she’s Michael’s right-hand “man”, matchmaker, negotiator, and all-round superstar.
