Meet Michele Barron

HELLO,
I'M MICHELE.

If you're looking for a diverse, inclusive community in the suburbs, look no further- Oak Park and River Forest welcome you with open arms. After moving from the city to Oak Park, it didn't take long for me to realize my family and I had found our place in the world. My twin boys grew up in the community and recently graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School. They are now in college.

If you need assistance in finding the perfect homes in the area, please give me a call and let's get started.

What Michele's Clients say

 5/5

As a first time homebuyer I felt completely lost and overwhelmed. Michele was extremely helpful and went above and beyond guiding me through the entire process. She put in a lot of hard work helping me find the right home in a more than reasonable amount of time. I would recommend Michele any day, she is excellent at her job and clearly loves the work she does too. -Bought a Condo home in 2020 in Elmwood Park, IL.

Michele did a great job in helping us find our home. She was very patient with us. It took us almost six months to find the home that was perfect for our family. Thank you, Michele. - Bought a Single Family home in 2021 in Riverside, IL.

Fun Facts About
Michele

Renovated 4 Homes: all of them sold fully furnished

Michele enjoyed the process from the initial architectural drawings, all the way through staging. The buyers were so impressed with the style and ambiance that they wanted every single furniture piece Michele had selected. Isn't it something? Each project brings its own challenge and excitement, but she never shies away. Her eye for design and staging that sells comes from years of residential renovation experience.

Has Run 4 Major Marathons

Any runners out there? Michele has completed the Chicago Marathon(twice), New York Marathon, and the Paris Marathon!

18 years as a flight attendant

Her 18 years as a flight attendant taught her how to handle even the most challenging situations with positivity, humor, and a dedication to making her clients’ experience excellent. Spending so much time in the sky and on the road gives Michele a deep appreciation for the value of home—a place where the heart grows and the mind relaxes.
