About Michele Evangelista

I’ve found that the key to success in business is to define what truly motivates you and embrace it as a part of your process. I myself am dedicated to helping people cultivate their optimal lifestyle. That might mean pairing a client with the perfect starter home in their ideal neighborhood or simply helping a friend decide on a style in which to remodel their master bathroom.

I find my purpose in impacting other people’s lives, through my ability to ignite their passions and inspire their dreams. One of my passions is decorating and design, and I ran my own home staging business for many years. As a Realtor, it’s my job to see that your home puts its best foot forward —from fixtures and furniture, to landscape and lighting— long before it hits the market. I know what today’s home buyer is looking for, and my creativity helps me stand out in a crowded market. Trust in me to transform every room into a showpiece.

I am also a third-generation resident of Glen Ellyn, born and raised. I consider myself a local area expert —not simply because I know the ebb and flow of the real estate market— but because I pride myself on being an integral part of my community. I know the best places to grab a bite, and where to entertain your kids on a Saturday afternoon. I’ve volunteered my time at local fundraisers, been an active part of the PTA, and spent countless hours in the stands cheering on my boys’ sports teams. It's been said that while some people spend their lives looking for a beautiful place, others spend it making a place more beautiful... and I have quite literally spent a lifetime building relationships in the area. I would love the opportunity to be your local area expert, be it city or suburb. Let’s take this journey together.

“Michele received a tall order from us! We found a house we wanted to purchase on a Sunday and called Michele the following morning to get our existing house ready for sale. (She had just sold our neighbor's house and her warm attitude, professionalism, and approachability made it a no-brainer to use her!) We were on a tight timeline and she quickly helped us stage our home and prepare it for sale... all while managing our purchase. Michele always had a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She has since dropped us texts, a beautiful plant, and even came by to see our new home after we moved in. We are very grateful for all of her hard work and dedication.”
