Although Michele considers Pittsburgh home, for a few years she resided in Florida where she owned a business and renovated several properties. But her home town of Pittsburgh was never far from her heart, so she returned to the ‘Burgh in 1999.  She maintains her Florida Real Estate License to assist her Pittsburgh clients who wish to relocate, retire or find their perfect winter home in Florida by referring them to her network of fellow Realtors in that state.

An additional advantage comes from her personal experience in relocation, perfect for those who are new to Pittsburgh.

In her spare time

When not assisting her clients, Michele enjoys time with family and friends or working out at the gym.  A sunny day will find Michele biking the many trails around the Pittsburgh region.

Having been personally impacted by the organ donor program, Michele is dedicated to the Living Organ Donor program with UPMC. Michele served as a Living Donor Champion for her brother Frank, who was born with a rare auto-immune disease and required multiple life saving organ transplants. Her passion for helping her brother has propelled Michele into encouraging everyone to consider being a living donor in an effort to help the thousands of other patients in need of a donor. Currently there are over 70,000 people awaiting a liver transplant— as a living donor, you could literally be giving the gift of life.

Sadly, Frank succumbed to COVID-19 and was taken to his heavenly home in 2020. To honor his memory and his lifelong struggles, Michele continues to volunteer with CORE, Center for Organ Recovery and Education.
