Michelle Cherry is a native Californian. Growing up in Santa Monica, she is familiar with living in some of the most beautiful places in California and has been living in Napa since 2003.
She spent 18 years in Seattle, having graduated from the University of Washington in 1988 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology and then working in banking and finance for 16 years. As a previous AVP/Investment Advisor for a brokerage firm managing a $40 million dollar portfolio, she is versed in financial matters that affect people the most- retirement needs, short and long-term investment strategies, and goals related to financial freedom and comfort.
Michelle has been a Realtor® with Coldwell Banker Brokers of the Valley since 2006 and has learned the art of negotiating in tough economic and real estate markets. She is experienced, professional, calm in a stressful situation, and with a psychology/sociology background, can listen and assist her clients in remaining focused on the end result, whether that is purchasing the home of their dreams, or selling to make a change.
Michelle focuses her expertise on Napa County, but has a source for referral agents to assist clients anywhere.
She continues to educate herself with each market change, adapting to the needs of the current environment to assist her clients to the best of her ability.
She resides in Napa, enjoys wine, food, and travel and you can often see her walking in Alta Heights.

View PropertyMichelle spent the better part of a year showing us well over fifty homes as we transitioned from Humboldt County. She knows the area extremely well, worked hard to understand our evolving needs, and never tired of showing us a home new to the market. Ultimately we found a home that inspired us and made all the time and energy worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle!
Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. We just closed on a home in Napa and Michelle was such an amazing resource for us. First, she is very knowledgeable of the different Napa Valley neighborhoods. Second, she is ultra responsive - we were always up to date on what was going on. Third, she was patient. The market was highly competitive and we got beat out on multiple offers. Michelle kept our spirits up and kept our head in the game. We ended up in our dream home and we are so thankful for Michelle.
Amazing realtor! Knows the local market. Listens to your needs and is very attentive. Great negotiation skills and works hard to help you get you the best deal. This is our second purchase with Michelle and we couldn’t be happier. We would recommend her services and we definitely would be in contact with her for our future needs.
