Michelle Tharayil

Michelle’s love for travel has taken her to over 33 countries, but there is no other city in the world she would rather call home than San Diego. For over 10 years Michelle has been selling the San Diego lifestyle she is so passionate about, with nothing short of exceptional service. Her clients range from first time home buyers, investors looking for their next deal to retirees downsizing on their living space. Michelle graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Sociology and started her sales career as a top-ranking pharmaceutical sales representative. Transitioning to a career in real estate came naturally given her personal interest in the market as a home owner and investor coupled with her fascination for interior design. Michelle prides herself as an expert in showcasing her clients’ homes in the best possible spotlight using the latest trends in staging with Compass’ advanced marketing tools. When you hire her to help you buy a home, you can expect an in-depth analysis of the home and strategic advice on how to write the most competitive offer compelling sellers to choose you. Communication and organization during the escrow process makes Michelle one of the best in the business as she will handle everything from scheduling inspections to making sure every party meets their contingency deadlines on time. Michelle’s clients describe her as not just an agent, but an advisor and friend “that will make your real estate transaction seamless from beginning to closing day”. Michelle lives with her husband, two young children and Red Doberman fur baby right here in Mission Hills. When she isn’t busy selling homes, you’ll likely catch her around Fort Stockton at a local coffee shop, the nursery or yoga studio. Michelle is also the founder of Mission Hills Mamas group, a group she formed after experiencing postpartum depression following the birth of her children. She is passionate about building a supportive community for moms across all walks of life because it truly does take a village to raise a child.
