My name is Michelle Manion, and I am a realtor at Keller Williams.
Originally from Florida, I relocated to the Carolinas in 2012 and
quickly fell in love with the area. I am licensed to sell real estate
in both North Carolina and South Carolina. I truly cannot imagine a
more beautiful and welcoming community—the people, culture, seasons,
and outdoor activities make the Carolinas feel like home.

I graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a bachelor's
degree in education. As a former teacher, I take pride in ensuring my
clients are well-informed throughout the  buying and selling process.
While teaching was incredibly rewarding, real estate has always been
in my blood. Having grown up in the industry with both of my parents
as former realtors, my passion for real estate runs deep.

What sets me apart from other agents is my unwavering dedication to my
clients. I go above and beyond to meet their needs, providing
integrity, honesty, and exceptional customer service. My goal is to
make the buying and selling experience as smooth and stress-free as
possible.

I am the owner of Keller Williams Prestige Properties, the team leader
of Manion & Associates, and a full-time real estate agent. I am also
fortunate to work alongside my husband, who is a fellow realtor. We
are committed to being your trusted real estate professionals in the
Carolinas.
