After 15 years in the medical field, Michelle Green transitioned into real estate sales in 2017. She’s quickly risen the local real estate rankings, making a name for herself as one of the Silicon Valley’s rising stars.

 

Michelle is a Bay Area native and a devoted community member. She’s trustworthy, warm, and high energy. For her, real estate is more than just a transaction; it’s an opportunity to impact the lives of families and neighbors. Selling real estate allows her to drive the growth of the community she has always called home.

 

“My real estate relationships are friendships for me,” Michelle says. “That’s what matters most.”

 

Michelle spent a decade and a half working at Mills-Peninsula Medical Center in Burlingame. Over those years, she worked in varying roles and departments – homecare and hospice, surgery scheduling, and physical therapy office management. She has always been drawn to serving others; for many years, she accomplished this through her work at the hospital. But when Michelle became a single mom, she was faced with a new reality.

 

“I needed a career change, a better income where I could work hard, make more money, and have some flexibility,” she reflects.

 

So, Michelle turned toward real estate. The transition was difficult but rewarding.

 

“It was a difficult time, but it gave me grit, and it taught me how to work hard, be efficient, and be smart. Getting through the challenges felt great.”

 

Michelle began her career with a bang, securing her first listing while door-knocking just six days after getting her license. Her willingness to get in the trenches and work for success helped her build the foundation for her business.

 

“No one wants to door knock these days, but I continue to knock at least 1200 homes a month,” Michelle explains. “I’m a people person. I build relationships face-to-face and in person. I love connecting. So that door-knocking approach has worked for me.”

 

After Compass acquired Alain Pinel Realtors, Michelle moved to Coldwell Banker Real Estate, where she joined Dave Tapper’s team. Her business has continued to flourish under Dave’s tutelage.

 

“Business is amazing,” Michelle smiles. “I’ve spent the past two years working side-by-side with Dave. I've become super knowledgeable. There’s been a lot of hands-on experience, and now, I'm able to deal with clients one-on-one and be confident about it.”

 

Michelle’s community engagement is another huge part of her business and personal life. She has spent her entire life in San Mateo and now raises her two kids in the area. After all these years, she remains deeply committed to her community’s vibrancy and growth.

 

“I’m hands-on and as active as I can be in the community,” Michelle says. “I do a lot in the schools, and much of it is indirect service — working with students, schools, and organizations to address community needs and issues. I’m involved in sports. I sponsor events and volunteer. I've done adopt-a-family during the holidays. I’m hands-on with the local kids in the area. I organize community workouts, community coffee chats, toy drives, and fundraising events. I give back to small businesses, mentor kids, and arrange marathon runs. I think that’s what really sets me apart.”

 

Michelle is a successful businesswoman and a dedicated community member, but her proudest title is Mom. Her two children, J.R. and Kayla, are now 17 and 7. When Michelle isn’t working or volunteering, you’ll find her traveling the state with her daughter’s softball team or enjoying time outdoors. She’s an avid runner and has completed several marathons.

 

Michelle is committed to being trustworthy, authentic, and kind. As she looks ahead, she plans to keep those values at the forefront.

 

“If I can help one person in any way, I will. My community knows me. Everyone turns to me if they need help. I just want people to know I’m a genuine person anyone can come to and that I'm working to help my clients…. In business, the sky's the limit. I want to be super successful but also be known as genuine and trusted.”

Michelle enjoys riding her dirt bike. “I love speed,” she smiles.
