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.”

"Ben Garner and team are amazing at what they do. I finally decided to take the plunge on my first rental property in the Baltimore area, and I could say confidently that Ben knows the ins-and-outs of the region. We discussed if we would be appreciation or cash-flow specific and decided on a property that met my needs as a first-time investor. As we looked through properties, Ben was able to identi… Read MoreRead Less
