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.

Michelle Gordon, Compass Realtor® in Northern Virginia
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

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.

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

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.
