Michelle Maida

Michelle Maida began her real estate career at John L Scott Woodstock in 2000. Before becoming a broker, she worked in hotel and restaurant management. Michelle is also a trained actor, who has been involved with theater her whole life. She was drawn to join the John L. Scott team after being impressed by the knowledge and professionalism of a John L. Scott broker who sold her a home.

For Michelle, client satisfaction is her highest priority, and she aims to treat each client in such a way that they will enthusiastically refer her to their friends and family. Clients appreciate Michelle’s excellent communication and negotiation skills and describe her as experienced, knowledgeable and tenacious.

One of the reasons Michelle enjoys working in real estate so much is the diversity of the clientele she’s able to serve in the Portland area. From a senior citizen looking to downsize, to a young couple or group of friends purchasing their first home, she enjoys working with all types of clients. When working with clients who are selling, she focuses on top-notch online advertising, which can include high-quality photos, drone photography and Matterport 3D images.

Michelle is a Rotarian and spends time with other Rotary members giving back to her local community on a regular basis. She also has spent more than a decade on the board of her local Neighborhood Association to ensure the interests of her and her neighbors are acknowledged. She is passionate about making the arts accessible to everyone and is a board member of “triangle productions!,” a nonprofit theater in Portland. Michelle’s interests include theater, travel and spending time with her family and Chihuahua, Mo.
