What Michelle Does

Four ways to work together

Whether you are listing a home, buying your first one, or still deciding, start with the piece you need now.

  • Seller Representation

    Selling Your Home

    Pricing strategy, preparation, professional marketing and negotiation from list date to closing day.

    Fewer days on market, fewer surprises at closing.

  • Buyer Representation

    Buying a Home

    Search strategy, neighbourhood context, showings and offer negotiation for buyers across Ottawa.

    You know what you are buying before the conditions come off.

  • Current Portfolio

    My Listings

    Active and recently represented homes across Ottawa, with private showings on request.

    See the property in person before it is a bidding war.

  • Full Market Search

    Search Homes

    A filtered search across the full Ottawa market, sent to you as new listings appear.

    The right listings reach you first, without the noise.

Why Michelle

Advice you can check against the numbers

Real estate advice is easy to give and hard to verify. Michelle's approach is to show the working — the comparables, the costs and the tradeoffs — so you can make the call yourself.

  • You see the comparable sales

    Every price recommendation comes with the sold data behind it, not a round number and a reassuring tone.

  • Preparation ranked by return

    A clear line between the work that will move your sale price and the work that will only cost you money.

  • The Engel & Völkers network

    Brokerage marketing reach and standards behind every listing, alongside MLS syndication.

  • One point of contact

    You deal with Michelle from first call to closing day — not a rotating team.

What working together looks like

  1. Step 1

    Consultation

    Your timeline, budget and goals, plus an honest read on what the current market supports.

  2. Step 2

    Strategy

    A pricing range or a search plan, with the comparable sales and the reasoning attached.

  3. Step 3

    Market or search

    Your home marketed and shown, or a filtered shortlist and showing blocks that fit your week.

  4. Step 4

    Negotiate and close

    Offers reviewed clause by clause, conditions tracked, and the file managed to key handover.

Areas We Serve

Ottawa and the surrounding communities

Each area has its own pricing logic, housing stock and buyer pool. Start with yours.

  • Real estate in Ottawa

    Central Ottawa covers everything from century homes in the inner neighbourhoods to new condominium towers downtown — with pricing that changes street by street.

  • Real estate in Westboro

    A walkable inner-west neighbourhood of century homes, infill semis and low-rise condos, close to the Ottawa River pathways and the Wellington West retail strip.

  • Real estate in Kanata

    West-end Kanata combines established family subdivisions with newer construction and a large local employment base in the tech park.

  • Real estate in Barrhaven

    A south-end community of family subdivisions, townhomes and continuing new construction, popular with buyers who want more space per dollar.

  • Real estate in Nepean

    Established Nepean neighbourhoods offer mature lots, solid mid-century construction and quick access to both the core and the west end.

  • Real estate in Orléans

    Ottawa's east end offers family housing, a bilingual community and continuing transit investment, with pricing that often stretches a budget further.

FAQ

Questions Ottawa buyers and sellers ask

What areas of Ottawa does Michelle cover?
The full city and the surrounding communities, working from the Engel & Völkers office at 1433 Wellington Street West in Ottawa.
How do I find out what my home is worth?
Book a walkthrough. You get a written asking range built from recent sold comparables in your immediate area, plus a preparation plan ranked by likely return.
Can Michelle help me buy and sell at the same time?
Yes. Both sequences — buy first or sell first — get run against your financing and risk tolerance before you commit to either.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes. Expect an unhurried walk through pre-approval, deposit versus down payment, closing costs, conditions and what your budget buys in each area.
What does it cost to work with a buyer's agent?
In most Ottawa transactions the seller's brokerage pays the cooperating commission. Where that is not the case you are told in writing before you view the property.
How quickly will I hear back?
Calls and form submissions are returned the same business day wherever possible. For anything time-sensitive, the fastest route is the phone.
