St John has been a long time passion of Michelle’s and she believes that her time as a volunteer ambulance member taught her to value life and value people above everything else. The most frequent comment Michelle heard when she advised people that she was going into real estate was “I will deal with you because I trust you” and another comment was “you will tell it as it is”. This is further enhanced by the Harcourt’s promise of quality service with a team environment and experience that is second to none.
