About Michelle Shorten - Real Estate Agent

Michelle knew she wanted to work in Real Estate ever since she was in grade four. One day a week, her classroom would transform into a ‘mini town’ and each desk would represent a different business or home within the community. She was the Real Estate office called ‘Home Sweet Home Real Estate’. Michelle would collect the rent for all the other desks in the room. She loved the position and vowed to one day open her own Real Estate business.

​

When Michelle was 22 she bought her first home and secured her first job in Real Estate in the small rural town of Gayndah. Her role was focused on Sales, Marketing and being a Personal Assistant. It soon became apparent that she had a natural ability to foster long standing relationships with clients by providing exceptional customer service.

​

Michelle married her husband Shane in 2014 and had their daughter Kelsie the following year. Sick of the DIDO (drive in, drive out) employment that meant her husband was hardly home, they decided to uproot their family and move to Gympie so that they could all live under the one roof. They turned their first home into an investment property and bought their second home in Gympie. Michelle was offered a number of jobs within the Gympie Real Estate industry. Deciding on a full time Property Management position in a fast paced agency, she has never looked back.

​

Michelle’s forte is establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with her clients. She achieves this by providing exceptional service which meets and exceeds expectations. Her rent arrears list has always been the smallest of any other Property Manager’s and this is solely due to her ability to communicate in a compassionate yet firm nature. Michelle has established her name as a thorough and conscientious business woman who believes that excellent communication and relating to people on a personal level are the keys to successful client relationships.

​

Together with friend and co-worker Rachael Gilliland, Michelle has poured her heart and soul into creating Your Realty Queensland. Her mission is to create a business that has deep roots in the Gympie community along with creating a supportive and fun working environment that people want to be a part of.
