Bio

Michelle came to real estate in 2012 after a career as a residential architect. As a Baltimore native, Michelle brings a perspective and expertise to both purchases and sales that most agents do not possess. This is particularly useful in Baltimore where so much of the housing stock consists of older, resale homes, often with historic meaning. Her buyers have appreciated her architect’s eye when evaluating homes for purchase. Often, she can see the possibilities below the surface, ways that a not-quite-perfect house can be expanded, reconfigured, or simply freshened up. Her sellers have benefited from the floor plans, design ideas, and staging advice that she can provide their listings. Her extensive knowledge of Baltimore city and the surrounding counties is helpful to first-time home buyers and those moving in from out of town.

“A friend recommended Michelle to us, and she did not steer us wrong. Michelle was fantastic. She met with us to truly understand what we wanted in a home, and sent us lots of fabulous listings. When we viewed the homes, she pointed out important things we would not have recognized on our own. She was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and patient with our many questions and helped walk us through the entire process - even after buying the home she has been kind enough to answer our lingering questions!”

“We have worked very happily with Michelle since 2004 in both of her professional personae, architect and realtor. In the past year she helped us to sell one property and buy another. Both of those efforts presented challenges, but Michelle was well prepared to guide us through them to successful conclusions. Michelle’s professional qualifications ensure that her insights and recommendations are invaluable. More important, however, is her tireless commitment to her clients. Working with Michelle is a true partnership.”

“It was so easy to sell our house thanks to Michelle. She is truly a wonderful realtor and a lot of fun to work with. We have had the pleasure of working with Michelle to purchase our home several years ago. We had such a great experience that we called her back to be our listing agent when we needed to sell. As always she was professional and efficient with the paperwork and dealt with our crazy schedules and many, many questions about what we were signing. She patiently walked us through every page and we felt like we always knew what to expect and what came next in the process. She helped us locate a few professionals to come do some touch ups to the house and she also put us in touch with a professional stager for some furniture. We listed our home just before the COVID-19 pandemic and no one knew what to expect. Michelle made sure to advertise the home and held some showings with all the precautions in place. She worked around our schedules and gave us all the space we wanted and time we needed when things got scary and locked down. Still she had no trouble at all finding buyers. Michelle continued to assist with the inspection scheduling and any additional paperwork we needed. In the end I had to sign the documents from another state and she helped me navigate that too. Having Michelle as our agent really reduced our stress.”

"Mike and Melodie were superb. They were diligent, friendly, tactful, and responsive. We dealt with two other realtors before we found them and were disappointed with their service. We were new to the Baltimore market and required assistance. We got that and more from Mike and Melodie and purchased a beautiful home. We would recommend them anytime to anyone."

"Michael and Melodie made a potentially stressful situation manageable. We were completely supported and informed throughout the entire journey. From our first meeting to the final closing, they demonstrated a deep understanding of our situation. They were both knowledgeable, responsive and extremely personable. Their negotiation skills and calm demeanor were instrumental in securing a positive… Read MoreRead Less

"Melodie and her team were absolutely fantastic in both finding an amazing home for my family AND with selling our old one. She was incredibly helpful, flexible and professional in searching for a home that made sense for us both in terms of space but finding us a "deal" or at least the best price we could get in the recent market. Our old home was sold to non-investors and at full asking! We to… Read MoreRead Less

"There are 3 things I admire most in Dawn Fender: integrity, experience, and honesty. She researched the local market before our first interview and gave us the number she felt would put us in a good position to sell our house. She was absolutely right. We had an amazing turn out that only took 3 days on the market before we chose a buyer from a large list of candidates. We had already moved to ano… Read MoreRead Less

Kristian had multiple offers on our property for full asking within a day of our listing, AMAZING...I feel like we did almost nothing and sold our house in one weekend. His simple and minor recommendations cost us near… Read MoreRead Less

"Kristian is the BEST! Initially, we were overwhelmed by the thought of selling our house and buying a new home with three young children. But from our first call with Kristian, he walked us through every step we'd need to take and made it seem much more manageable. Along the process, if we had ANY questions or needed advice, Kristian was always available to help us. He is so knowledgeable about th… Read MoreRead Less

"Kristian was amazing! I don't know if I can say enough great things about him. He was kind, professional, patient and ruthless (in the nicest possible way)!!!

We found our new home and Hanna helped us move quickly and mentored us through the entire process. She goes above and beyond what is expected and is great with communication. We listed our house while we were out of the country on our honeymoon and Hanna handled e… Read MoreRead Less

"Maria knew what I was looking for, but also took time to help me consider alternatives along the way. This helped me calibrate and confirm what I really wanted. She was attentive and made me feel like I could always reach out."

"We loved how knowledgeable Maria was of the city, right down to the neighborhood that we wanted to live in. She was respectful, ethical, and we never felt pressured to buy something we didn't want or love! She was prompt to respond to our questions, and was great when it came to negotiating for everything that we wanted!"

"Maria was a true asset when I decided to sell my condo. She made great suggestions on things to attract buyers. It wasn't a particularly ideal time for selling, and I was out of town, so it was super important for me to have someone that I could trust and put in charge of things. Maria was exactly that person!"

"I usually don’t leave reviews, but I can't recommend David Wheaton highly enough. He was unfailingly knowledgeable, good humored and available for any questions we had. He made the entire process easy and even enjoyable in a very unpredictable market. We love our new home and David played a large part in finding the perfect one."

"I’ve had my fair share of realtors in my life and there has never been one that I absolutely loved working with besides David. David by far exceeded all my expectations in a realtor. He was extremely responsive, caring and knew his stuff! He made my home purchase experience a breeze and took care of me from start to finish. David will forever be my go-to realtor as long as he’s in this business. I… Read MoreRead Less

"David was so much more than I expected from a real estate agent. My fiancée and I were first-time home buyers who had reached out to David on a recommendation from a friend. David was prompt to set up a call to walk us through the process and understand our wants and needs. His knowledge and years of experience in the greater Baltimore area were exactly what we needed, having never previously boug… Read MoreRead Less

"If there were 6 stars, he would get six. I have been fortunate to buy several homes in my lifetime and have worked with wonderful real estate agents, but NONE compared to David Wheaton. He is competent, thorough, attentive and seems to be 1 step ahead in all arenas of home purchasing which is rare to find. If I am blessed to buy more property I will be doing so only with David. To me, he was my lo… Read MoreRead Less
