What do you love about working in real estate ?
Meeting incredibly diverse , brilliant and genuine people — then getting to know them and occasionally forging a friendship that will last a lifetime . Many of them have changed the course of my life , more than I have changed the course of theirs . They have become like family — advising me on everything from parenting to profession and for that ( and for them ), I am grateful .
Describe your ideal day in Big Sky .
Skiing with my children — especially on a sunny day — after a big snowstorm — with good friends in tow . Smiles plastered on all of our faces and an abundance of laughter .

ABOUT MICHELLE Michelle always dreamed of living in the mountains . After graduating with a Master ’ s Degree from Ohio University , she headed west , ultimately making her home in Big Sky in 1994 . Always an entrepreneur at heart , she owned several child care businesses , served as the business manager for a construction company and received her real estate license in 2003 . These ventures have allowed her to become familiar with both visitors to the area and the ever changing year-round community of Big Sky .
Ready for a change of pace and excited about Big Sky ’ s future , Michelle joined Ania ’ s team in 2004 to help others realize their dream of owning a piece of Big Sky and experience all that this unique community has to offer . She has been actively involved in the community by volunteering her time on various boards through the years and currently serves as a board member of the Big Sky Community Organization . You are likely to find her outdoors every chance she gets , either running , hiking , camping , playing softball , or skiing the slopes of Big Sky with her daughter and husband .
Favorite spot in Big Sky ?
The Gallatin River Trail and surrounding mountains never disappoint ; the unexpected wildlife , sounds of the river and fresh air always give me an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and make me smile .
