Michelle Brown
Director of Membership Development
michelle@thebarcc.org

A graduate of Loyola University Chicago, Michelle began her professional career in investment real estate in 1987. Having lived in various neighborhoods on both the North and South sides of Chicago, Michelle was excited about her then transition to Development Brokerage in 1991. The same Chicago neighborhoods she knew as a child are now being rebuilt to their historic glory, while others are being redeveloped for a new generation. Working in development real estate gives Michelle the full spectrum of real estate: investment analysis, financial planning, marketing, presentation, sales and the satisfaction of seeing more people realize home ownership.

This experience gives Michelle a single mindedness: always bring superior service, value, accountability and the latest technology to developer, seller and buyer clients. And care!

Michelle and her husband raised their family within the city and northern suburbs. Now living in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Michelle and her husband are active members of the community and make time to enjoy the city's cultural events, festivals, beautiful lakefront and amazing energy.
