A local for 30 years, Michele Bailey is a multi-disciplined leader and resident expert on the market, culture, and lifestyle along the Scenic Highway 30A corridor in the Florida panhandle. As a Broker Associate and founding agent for Compass 30A, she primarily represents second-home buyers and investors throughout Okaloosa, Walton, and Bay Counties, focusing on luxury homes and condominiums in Watersound, Watercolor, Santa Rosa Beach, Inlet Beach, Rosemary Beach, Seagrove, Dune Allen, and Alys Beach.
Michele focuses on people’s needs, not transactions. With relationship-building as one of her core values, she develops a clear line of communication with clients (and other Realtors) and creates data-backed strategies to deliver on their goals. She is an attentive communicator and compassionate listener, fostering a collaborative environment as she guides buyers and sellers through the process and negotiates transactions on their behalf. As a longtime resident of the 30A area, Michele has lived through the development and growth of every neighborhood from the ground up over the last three decades – nobody knows the market better than she does. She enjoys sharing her repository of historical knowledge and wisdom with clients, with the promise of being available for them even after the transaction is complete. She is a community builder and a resource for all.
Real estate is both Michele’s career and passion. Along with running a business as a full-time Broker Associate, she holds several leadership roles within the industry, including serving as the current President of the Emerald Coast Association of Realtors and as a board member of several other professional and leadership organizations. She is passionate about every facet of the real estate world, including land use, property rights, insurance reform, and affordable housing. She has managed and overseen the construction and renovation of two homes in the area, further enriching her industry expertise. Together with the support of the powerhouse Compass technology and the proprietary marketing tools and services, Michele can maximize her potential and generate more awareness, better price points, and faster transactions than ever before.
With its powder-soft and sugar-white sands lapped by the mellow aquamarine waters of the Gulf Coast, the beach towns along Florida’s Scenic Highway 30A offer residents a nuanced form of paradise, as well as a great investment opportunity. Michele puts her best foot forward on every call, conversation, and showing, so clients can trust she will elevate the experience of making moves in one of Florida’s best-hidden gems.
Michele currently lives in Santa Rosa Beach with her three sons and three dogs.
