Michelle’s journey to becoming a respected leader in California’s real estate and property management industry is as dynamic as the career she has built. A bilingual professional fluent in both Spanish and English, Michelle was born in Santa Monica, California, and spent her formative years in Marbella, Spain, and England. Her international upbringing gave her a unique global perspective, cultural awareness, and adaptability that continue to shape her approach to serving clients.

After earning a degree in Marketing, Michelle returned to Southern California in 1999, where she quickly established herself as a trusted real estate professional known for her strategic insight, market knowledge, and commitment to exceptional client service. Her marketing background has always provided a distinct advantage, allowing her to position and showcase properties with creativity and results-driven strategies.

Over the years, Michelle has developed extensive expertise in residential real estate, luxury homes, investment properties, and property management. With deep knowledge of California's coastal markets, she has built a reputation for guiding clients through every stage of ownership with professionalism, integrity, and meticulous attention to detail.

An active leader within the real estate community, Michelle has served on the MLS Committee and the Board of Directors for the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors® and remains a member of the Santa Barbara Rental Property Association, ensuring she stays at the forefront of industry trends, legislation, and best practices.

Recognizing the need for a more responsive, boutique approach to property management, Michelle founded King & Company after many of her clients asked her to oversee not only their investment properties but also their primary residences and estates while they were away. Built on a foundation of exceptional communication, personalized service, and proactive management, King & Company has become a trusted name for homeowners, investors, and tenants throughout the Santa Barbara area.

As demand for the company's services has grown, so has its footprint. King & Company has recently expanded with the opening of its new Westlake Village office, extending its personalized property management and real estate services into the Conejo Valley. The company is also preparing to open a Malibu office, further expanding its presence along California's coastline while maintaining the boutique level of service that has become its hallmark.

Today, Michelle continues to lead with the same passion, integrity, and client-first philosophy that have defined her career for more than two decades. Whether representing buyers and sellers, managing luxury estates, or helping investors maximize their assets, she remains committed to delivering an exceptional experience and lasting results.
