Michele Richey-Martin is an accomplished real estate agent at House & Haven, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a deep passion for helping clients achieve their real estate goals. Born in Falls Church, Virginia, Michele moved to Jacksonville at the age of two, where her family put down roots and her connection to the city grew strong. With her grandparents living just down the street on Pottsburg Creek, Michele’s ties to Jacksonville run deep.
Michele’s interest in real estate began at an early age, growing up remodeling her family home alongside her father starting at just 10 years old. She was also inspired by the popular show This Old House, which sparked her curiosity about the construction and renovation aspects of real estate. This foundation led her to a rewarding career in the industry, where she thrives in assisting clients with a wide range of real estate needs.
What Michele loves most about her work is the ability to help clients navigate the complexities of buying, selling, or renting properties. She’s dedicated to researching listings that match her clients’ unique needs, whether it’s finding homes in the right neighborhoods, investigating building permits, or identifying upcoming replacement expenses. For renters, Michele has successfully turned many into homeowners, often by helping them purchase the very property they once rented, making their transition into homeownership as seamless as possible.
As an investor herself, Michele brings a distinctive advantage to real estate transactions. She is always on the lookout for value and potential issues that may affect her clients' decisions. She carefully presents these insights to both buyers and sellers, ensuring that they are well-informed before making any moves. A consistent top producer for nearly a decade and continuing, Michele’s dedication and exceptional service have earned her numerous accolades, including recognition as a leading sales agent for multiple years. She also holds a certification in probate real estate (CPRES), further demonstrating her expertise.
Her longstanding relationship with Bill Sharp, dating back to 2012 when they first met at a builder venue, led her to join House & Haven. Having worked closely with Sharp at his other companies, Jacksonville Title & Trust, and Sharp Mortgages, Inc., Michele has seen firsthand the benefits of working with a full-service, in-house real estate company that truly supports clients in realizing their housing dreams.
