About Michelle Schiavo
A Southern California native with seven years of real estate experience and more than 100 homes sold, Michelle Schiavo brings a knowledgeable, approachable perspective to every transaction. Based in The Agency's Palm Desert office, she serves clients throughout Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties, with a particular passion for guiding first-time homebuyers.

She is passionate about educating buyers and sellers throughout the real estate process, ensuring they feel informed, confident, and empowered at every step. Michelle's own experience purchasing her first home inspired her to pursue a career in real estate. After feeling overwhelmed by the process, she recognized an opportunity to provide others-especially first-time buyers-with the guidance and clarity she wished she had received. Prior to real estate, Michelle worked as a marketing manager for a financial services company, experience that continues to inform her strategic approach to marketing properties and serving her clients. Michelle earned her degree in Communications with an emphasis in Print Journalism from Cal State Fullerton. Outside of real estate, she enjoys spending time at the beach with her fiancé and dogs, planning her wedding, and catching up with friends over coffee.
