Who We Are
Michelle Kokich
Michelle graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in business and liberal arts. She worked in finance in Seattle for 10 years before she decided to leave the hustle and bustle of the city and raise her children in Tacoma, Washington. For the last 20 years, Michelle, her husband Vince and their 4 children have purchased, renovated and sold a number of homes in Tacoma, University Place and Fircrest. Her passion for renovation became a business venture in which she consults with family, friends and clients on interior and exterior remodels, down sizing, furniture purchasing, and bringing a new life back into a home, all while keeping its original charm. Two years ago Michelle decided to enhance her business model by getting her Real Estate License. She takes great joy in helping her clients find a house and make it their home!
