Michelle Oswald

Calling Whakatane home for Michelle is easy. Although not from the region originally, HOME for her is the place where, with her hubby of 35 years, they have
raised their three now adult children, made lifelong friendships and wonderful memories. She is passionate about the area and believes it’s the best place to live.

Before real estate Michelle devoted 37 years to the dental industry and built strong networks and some incredible friendships and was described as “dedicated, highly organized, and passionate” about her work. Her career spanned from office management to clinical duties and her motivation was always to be helping people. Brightening someone's day with a small act of kindness made this work incredibly fulfilling for her.

Helping others has always been her passion and having embarked on her real estate career in 2021 she feels privileged to now assist clients in making their sales or purchases a smooth transaction, in what can be a stressful time of their lives.

Having multiple successes with assisting clients to move in or out of their home, Michelle has become known for her skills and dedication, being highly organized, intuitive, orderly, and systematic. Her friendliness and empathy lends itself to building positive, trust-based relationships, and her sense of humour fosters strong rapport with others.

Now professionally experienced in property transactions, along with numerous personal restoration projects, her passion for this field is deep-rooted and wellpracticed. To Michelle real estate is not just about the buildings but also about the people inside them—their stories, their futures, and how she can assist them on their journey.

What she cherishes most about working in real estate is the chance to meet diverse individuals and make a significant impact during one of their most crucial life transitions. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities. When she's not at work, you'll likely find her unwinding in her garden or whipping up delicious meals.
