From Our Clientele
Michelle was wonderful to work with! She was knowledgeable and extremely helpful every step of the process. She was able to answer all of my many questions and kept me in the loop on exactly what was going on all the time. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking to buy or sell the property. I don't know if I could have made it through this process without her.
Michelle was amazing! We quite literally couldn’t have bought our house without her. She is very responsive and really helped us maintain a positive attitude through the exhausting process of buying a house.
Michelle helped me buy a second home in Arnold, and she was such a help! She has deep knowledge of the local area, and is very helpful all through the transaction process. She and her husband even offered to help me when I got my car stuck the first night in my new house! She's everything you want in a realtor--kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. She's also a great resource for local tradespeople once you settle in. Highly recommend!

Mountain Chalet Charmer – Pioneer
Snug among the pines in beloved Mace Meadows, this A-frame chalet has been lovingly refreshed. It’s classic mountain bones dressed in clean, artist touches. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to slow down the moment you walk in. Step inside and vaulted wood ceilings soar overhead, while the great room’s dramatic windows pull the forest in close, so the light shifts with the day, gold in the morning,blue by dusk. A perfectly sized loft tucks above it all, the kind of quiet perch you claim as your own. At the heart of the room sits a soapstone wood stove, built for long, snow-hushed evenings this place was built for. The kitchen keeps things simple, with all new appliances ready to go. At roughly 2,100 + square feet, with three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there’s room for a full house of guests or the quiet rhythm of daily life. Outside Wisteria spills over a fenced garden area, soft and a little wild, ready for flowers, herbs, or summer tomatoes. Nearly half an acre gives you real breathing room, and a detached garage with its own separate shop leaves space for whatever you’re dreaming up, whether it’s a workshop, a studio, or somewhere to keep the gear.
