Michele Schuler

Michele Schuler is a trusted authority in PNW real estate, with deep expertise across Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue, the greater Eastside, and Bainbridge Island. A Washington native and lifelong resident, Michele brings an intuitive understanding of the region's neighborhoods, architecture, and market dynamics—helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions at pivotal moments in their lives.

After a successful career in finance at leading technology and digital marketing firms, Michele transitioned into real estate in the mid-2000s. For nearly two decades, she has combined financial acumen with nuanced market insight to deliver strategic, thoughtful guidance. She views real estate as both an art and a discipline—where data, design, timing, and human emotion intersect. No two transactions are alike, and that complexity is what continues to challenge and inspire her.

Michele is widely respected for her analytical rigor, direct communication style, and unwavering integrity. Known for telling the truth and protecting her clients' interests, she remains deeply engaged throughout every phase of the process. Her work is defined by disciplined execution, honest positioning, and a long-term perspective—prioritizing outcomes that endure over short-term wins.

A former Founding Member of Realogics Sotheby's International Realty's Bellevue office, Michele now brings her experience and leadership to Real Residential, where she contributes to a culture rooted in local expertise, collaboration, and relationship-driven service.

When she's not working, Michele can usually be found spending time with her husband and best friend, Jeff, their four grown daughters (ages 22—26), and Frankie—their Bernedoodle, best known for her dramatic eyelashes, strong opinions, and undeniable charm.
