Imagine your first real estate transaction as a new agent. But it’s not your standard transaction. It’s a four-plex apartment building and you got the listing in exchange for…a goat. Now, that’s some creative thinking. And that’s only the beginning of what makes Michelle Swift stand out from the crowd.
Michelle has never been afraid of a challenge. Whether coaching rodeo kids or earning her Master’s degree in Agricultural Education, Michelle approaches life with a true sense of adventure, and embodies literally everything it takes to be a true professional in real estate. In fact, those qualities are summed up in one appropriate word: S.W.I.F.T. (which stands for Speed, Wisdom, Integrity, Friendliness & Thoroughness).
Michelle spent the first part of her career home schooling her two daughters until high school. Then, when her husband retired from the USAF and her daughters were out of school, Michelle decided to get her real estate license. True to form, she quickly rose to the task and closed 16 transactions her first year as a rookie realtor (a first in her brokerage)! She gained invaluable experience in the industry, all while utilizing her competitive spirit and never-give-up attitude, which is what her clients have come to expect.
Since her infamous ‘goat trading’ debut in real estate, Michelle has sold everything from multi-unit properties, single family homes, commercial property, farmland and luxury homes. Her experience is as well-rounded as her personality and drive.
Michelle has been very involved in California High School Rodeo, spending much of that time watching her daughters compete (that competitive apple didn’t fall far from the tree). She loves to ride horses, team rope, barrel race, and play the guitar and fiddle. But before you witness all that action and adventure, the first thing you’ll notice is her warm smile and positive approach. Her main goal in real estate is to help people enjoy the journey without the stress. It’s why so many of her clients insist on doing things The S.W.I.F.T. Way. Oh…and when you meet her, make sure to ask her about the goat.
