MICHELLE PENDERGAST

After an immensely disappointing expe-rience with her real estate agent, when purchasing a home, Michelle Pendergast decided to pursue a career in real estate herself. She used the disheartening experi-ence as fuel for becoming the type of agent she would have liked to have, and vowed to never let any of her clients go through

a bad experience during the home buying process. Michelle has been in the business for close to 10 years now, and currently works solo, serving a large area of Los Angeles County.

She also invests in top-notch photography and vide-ography to professionally market her listings. And thanks to her successful strategy she sold 43 homes last year, and tends to average 13 million in sales volume per year. Her favorite part of the job isn’t the commission check, but instead it’s the ability to be of service to others that she appre-ciates the most. “I love being able to help people buy a home for their fam-ilies.

Outside of work Michelle is involved in various initiatives in her local community that are near and dear to her heart, such as organizations striving for better mental health care, and others that help keep her city aesthetically pleasing. She also loves
