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.
