Michelle Desautels

REALTOR®


With over 25 years of experience in sales, hospitality, and client service, I bring strategy, structure, and steady guidance to every real estate transaction. My business is rooted in the 5 P’s — Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance, because buying or selling a home deserves preparation, not pressure.
Before real estate, I spent two decades in foodservice and distributor sales, developing strong negotiation skills, contract expertise, and a deep understanding of how to read a room and protect my clients’ interests. Today, I apply that same discipline and advocacy to help buyers and sellers make informed, confident decisions.
Real estate isn’t just about contracts and comps. It’s about timing, communication, and trust. I create clear strategies from day one, provide consistent updates, and tailor my communication style to what works best for you. Whether you're preparing to list or navigating a purchase, I guide you through every step with transparency and focus.
My clients value my honesty, market insight, and ability to stay calm and solutions-oriented when it matters most. I also bring a strong network of trusted local lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and tradespeople which ensures you’re supported well beyond the contract.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling, and you want a partner who brings structure, honesty, and real follow-through, let’s talk. I’d love to learn more about your goals and how I can help you achieve them.

Testimonials

" Michelle worked with me for 5 years to find the perfect home. I cannot say enough good things about her. She’s kind, empathetic, knowledgeable and always made me feel at ease. She’s an amazing woman and is the reason why I finally found a place to call home. "

Thank you so much! We loved working with you in finding our house. We appreciate your expertise, thoughtfulness, honesty and thoroughness. While I hope we are in our new home for years to come, we would love to work with you again if ever the occasion arose. You went above and beyond in what we would ever expect from a realtor
- Wolfe, Jeff & Tonda
In the midst of a cancer diagnosis for me and COVID ravishing our country you managed to keep us on track. You went well above and beyond to make our sale possible and your analysis of the value of the homes in our neighborhood was spot on. I would recommend your services to anyone looking for a compassionate, responsive realtor
