After all, she knows how exhilarating yet scary the homebuying process can be. As a mom of three energetic boys, Michelle has an intimate understanding of the myriad considerations involved in house hunting and is always mindful of the need to plan for the things that may prove important in the future, even if they are unforeseen at the moment. Michelle believes that making the right property investment choice is particularly important, as real estate provides opportunities for growth, change, and happiness.A native of Toronto, Canada, Michelle has been a proud Texan since moving to Sugar Land, Texas, at age 13.
