We are pleased to
present our Agent Spotlight on Jill Michaud of Gibson
Sotheby’s International Realty’s Manchester-by-the-Sea
office!
What did you do before
real estate and how did you get started in the
business?
Before my career in real estate, I
was the Business Development Manager at my family-owned car
dealership, Michaud Mitsubishi. Through my work at the dealership,
I focused on building one-to-one relationships with our customers
and ensuring all services were met with excellence. Real estate has
always been a passion of mine and it was just 4 years ago when I
made that change to become a realtor and I am so happy I
did.
What is something your
clients find comfort in that makes them turn to you for their real
estate needs?
When I first meet with a client, I
set that standard of expectations of how I will advise them from
beginning to end. My clients know they can trust in me and the
advice I give them. From my knowledge of surrounding markets and
having a wealth of resources within all aspects of the real estate
industry- my clients know I am here to work diligently to help them
buy and/or sell. Through open communication and consistency, my
clients appreciate staying up to date and having clear expectations
throughout the process. I am here to serve my clients, understand
what is important to them, and leverage my personal expertise with
resources to have successful transactions.
What are some of your
favorite local hobbies, activities or organizations that you
participate in?
I have been an active member in
the Greater Beverly Chamber of Commerce for 9 years and am ending
my Presidency term this December. The chamber has been incredible
over the years to meet others in the community, expand my network,
and meet local professionals/business owners. It is important to me
to be involved in my surrounding communities and give back whenever
I can. Grateful Friends is a non-profit organization supporting
adults going through all different cancer treatments. I am proud to
say I am the Sponsor of the Month this past December! I love giving
back to important organizations and causes. Being a strong
community member is a priority to me. In my free time, I enjoy
cross-fit training, fine dining on the North Shore, and spending
time with my big family and dog!
What do you love most
about where you live and work?
I have lived in the North Shore
area all my life. I love how we are close to the coast but also
have the city. There are so many things to do and places to see!
There is a strong sense of community here which has been so
important to have especially throughout the pandemic. I live in
Danvers currently and love the accessibility to surrounding towns
and the city.
What are three sources of
joy in your week?
- Knowing I helped my clients
accomplish their goal - Spending time with my big family
and dog Mitch - Bringing ease to my clients and
their situation
