About Michelle Taylor

With over nine years of extensive experience in the real estate industry, Michelle is a seasoned professional dedicated to providing exceptional service.

 

Michelle’s career in real estate began in the Bay Area, working for Trulia at their headquarters in San Francisco. There, she quickly rose through the ranks, connecting real estate agents with buyers and sellers while immersing herself in the growing trends that afforded agents and their clients the best results. It was here that she learned how data drives the strongest strategies to leverage a nuanced market.

 

Her desire to expand her skill set and apply these lessons led to her role as the advertising manager for 5 Bay Sotheby’s offices, where she produced and managed property ads and copy (far before Chat GPT). She worked with the Bay Area’s top agents, promoting luxury home sales and when she was licensed, she joined forces with the top performing agent in Alameda County, where she learned the best transactional tactics while helping to close multi-million dollar listings.

 

When Michelle’s husband relocated to Sacramento for work, she ventured out as an independent agent, selling homes all across the region for two years. She was again recruited to join yet another burgeoning prop-tech start-up, this time focused on off-market sales, where she ultimately was responsible for overseeing hundreds of transactions between the Bay and Sacramento regions. She rocketed through the organization, first working with buyers and sellers, then being promoted to assistant GM and eventually becoming the company general manager for both the Sacramento and Bay Area markets for three years.

First Impressions Matter

According to research, buyers typically form a first impression of a house within the first 8 seconds of entering the property, heavily influencing their overall perception and decision-making process about purchasing it. 

Quick Judgment

The initial visual impression is crucial, and most buyers decide whether they like a property almost immediately upon entering.  

Curb Appeal Matters

The house's exterior, including landscaping and driveway, contributes significantly to a buyer's first impression.  

"Halo Effect"

Buyers immediately create narratives around homes they are considering for purchase. Color can evoke emotion, and picking the proper colors for walls or staging, matters. An emotionally positive first impression makes buyers more likely to overlook minor flaws inside the house.

"Curate the "Highest & Best"Lived Experience to get Highest & Best Offers"

Each room should draw the Buyers to the next space, and build on their imagination of how life in this property would embody their most desired lived experience of home. 

Testimonials

Looking for a house is not easy and I was very new to the whole process. Since I never looked for a house before I was open-minded about looking at anything. But once we started to look at houses I started to realize that there are things that I wanted for my house. Michelle was good at listening to my wants and needs. She is very flexible with my normal 9-5 work schedule and was willing to look at houses in the evenings and weekends. She gave great advice on how to strategize to put the best offer in and at the same time she truly looks out for your best interest. I didn't feel pressured or feel like she was only trying to sell me something. It didn't feel like I met her a couple of months ago. I felt like I was looking at houses with one of my friends. If you are looking for a house and want a great realtor? Then give her a call it will be worth it!
