About Michelle Mercado-Jones

I work with people just like YOU in the Charlotte area who need help with buying or selling homes. We all know this process can be stressful! I am here to take that stress off of your shoulders!!! .

I've served over 100 families to date. My passion is helping others and I truly love what I do!  

The best praise I've ever received from a client was: “Michelle treated us just like family and helped us find the home of our dreams. She knows her stuff and worked so hard on our behalf!”. Helping people to achieve their dreams, makes me so proud and drives everything I do!

If you're looking for a Realtor who is knowledgeable about the market, puts your needs first and treats you like family… then look no further! I'd love to work with you, too! With me you do not just have a Realtor you will have a friend for life!

I've helped people relocate from out of state, first time home buyers and I love listing homes so that they sell FAST and for the MOST money possible! .

When I'm not helping others, I can be found watching football (GO JETS!!), playing with my dog Vida and spending time with my family.

Want to learn more about how we can work together? Call or text me anytime! 860-910-3434.  Thanks for reading my story! :-)
