About Michelle

Michelle graduated from Mohawk College with a diploma in Business Accounting. Following a co-op at CRA during college, and a 10-year career in Accounting & Office Administration, Michelle decided to follow her parents lead and take the leap in to real estate. Since 2009 Michelle has been a full-time Sales Representative with RE/MAX® and has never looked back! In the beginning of 2011 Michelle joined forces with Josy D’Amico and the LOVE Where You Live Team. “It’s a great fit because of our shared passion for the business as well as making customer service our number one priority, it’s really about relationships with people.

I LOVE what I do and it shows... I really think it's important for my clients to feel like they can have an open relationship with me. You need to trust me and believe that based on my years of experience, my marketing savvy, knowledge of the business and ability to close a deal, I can facilitate the best possible outcome. This website is a measure of the quality of service you can expect from me. Real Estate is in my blood. My father, Eric De Groot was a top producing Realtor® and taught me so much while we worked together. In addition I worked alongside and learned from marketer extraordinaire Josy D’Amico for 10 years. Upon each of their retirements they entrusted me to carry on their businesses. You can be assured that I have the tools and resources you need to make truly informed real estate decisions. I thank you for the opportunity and look forward to working with you!
