In addition to my professional trade organizations such as Coeur d'Alene Association of Realtors, Idaho Realtors and National Association of Realtors, I am very involved in my local communtiy on a daily basis.  My professional and community involvement follows:

I am at this full-time which means you will never be second priorty behind some other day job. I have a strong background in marketing which lends itself nicely to helping people like you buy and sell real estate. I’ve taught classes on social media and online marketing. My main resource website is destinationliving.co where buyers can link to search all MLS listings at my Windermere powered real estate search site, www.100CdA.com. I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I have owned and operated businesses since 1996. I moved from California to the Coeur d'Alene area in 2006 with my family, my amazing three kids, all now grown, and I have never looked back. I have found my happy place here in CdA. Originally, I grew up in California but made a conscious decision to pursue a slower pace with more outdoor activities in a family friendly atmosphere. I truly love where I live and am happy to share with others. 

Lastly, my favorite client review is, "5 star service every step of the way." This is a jewel in my crown, it is now part of my mission, and my committment to all of my clients. 5 Star Service Every Step of the Way is what you can expect in working with me.

Please reach out and let me know how I can help you. I would be honored if you'd allow me to help you find your happy place!  

All the Best,

Michelle Rene
