Michelle Gordon · Compass Realtor® in Northern Virginia
Every home has a story. Let’s talk about yours.
Northern Virginia is where I grew up and raised my family. Whether you’re buying or selling, I’ll guide you with honest advice and a steady hand. Let me be your go-to resource for all things home.
01 Welcome
Northern Virginia is home.
I grew up here and raised my children here, and these days you’ll find me on the trails and waterways around the region with my husband, David, and our dog, Stu. When I help someone buy or sell in Springfield, Burke, Fairfax, Alexandria, and the surrounding communities, I’m talking about places I know well.
I’m a Realtor® with Compass, a certified stager and a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)®. Before I was an agent I spent years in title, settlement, construction and design work, so I see a house the way a buyer, a seller and a contractor would. Much of my business comes from past clients and people they’ve sent my way. There’s really no better compliment than that.

02 What I bring
An advocate for the deal. A partner for the house.
In your corner
Pricing that holds up, offers that protect you, and negotiations where I’m firmly on your side. I explain each step in plain language and keep things moving, so nothing surprises you at the closing table.
- Pricing and local market research
- Offers, contracts and negotiation
- Inspections, appraisals and closing
Hands-on with homes
My background in construction, renovation and staging means I can walk through a house and tell you what’s worth fixing, what to update and what to leave alone. And I know who to call to get it done.
- Repair and update advice before you list
- Staging and presentation
- Trusted help long after closing
03 How I help
However you’re moving, I’ve got you.
Buying, selling, getting a house ready, or settling in after the move. Here’s where I can help, and you can always call to ask about something that isn’t on the list.
04 Homes around here
Find your Northern Virginia
Northern Virginia isn’t one kind of house. Here’s where you’ll find the homes my clients ask about most.
05 Where I work
The communities I know best
Each guide covers what it’s like to live there: the homes, the commute, the parks and the everyday stops.
06 After the keys
Closing day is just the beginning.
My clients keep calling long after closing, and I love that. Right now I’m helping a few past buyers choose paint colors and think through fireplaces and outdoor spaces.
Need a handyman, a painter, a contractor, an organizer or a mover, even years from now? Ask me first. I’ll tell you who I’d call and where to start.
Downsizing & senior moves
Planning a move later in life, or helping a parent with one?
As a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA)® and part of Compass Plus, I help older adults and their families with the practical and personal decisions a move brings, at a pace that feels right.
