Three words sum up my approach to real estate: family, trust, and passion. I am a longtime resident of Reston, Virginia and graduate of the University of Virginia. I bring over thirty-four years of experience in architecture and over eleven years as a licensed REALTOR®. Bursting with passion for my chosen vocation, I seamlessly combine the two disciplines to provide clients an indispensable asset. Extensive experience in residential architecture allows me to understand potential renovations/additions, as well as the quality of existing construction, even before hiring a home inspector. Since I suggest valuable modifications for a home’s best presentation, sellers are also able to benefit from my multifaceted knowledge. I have joyfully teamed up with my two talented daughters. It is always my goal to treat clients like family and to be easily accessible. I offer both buyers and sellers the stress-free real estate experience I’d want for my loved ones. First-time home buyers and sellers are particularly fun. It makes me smile when I get to explore the world through young eyes again! Building trust through communication is key to all relationships. After discovering the desires of my clients, I work tirelessly to ensure they are provided the very best options in their preferred location. Professionally guiding them through the process is a pleasure knowing I get to see them live their best lives in their beautiful new home. When I’m not selling real estate or talking “shop,” I enjoy playing with my grandchildren, traveling, practicing yoga, throwing pottery, reading, and bike riding. I want to provide you with the care and top-quality service you deserve. Give me a call, and let’s discuss your dreams!

Hi! I’m Michelle Stanko, your local, top producing REALTOR® for over fifteen years. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, I enjoy all the benefits of being a native of the area. I have watched the area grow, remember businesses as they’ve shifted over years, and am intimately familiar with the majority of the neighborhoods. I delighted in helping buyers with new homes from 2006-2009. Discovering my love of real estate, I decided to become a licensed REALTOR® in 2009. Since that point, I have refined my negotiation skills and strived for ever increasing standards of perfection. Mark Twain once said, “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” I completely agree. With real estate, I found my calling, and have been blessed to bring my mother and sister into this amazing industry. Talking with my clients honestly and openly, while helping them imagine the possibilities of their new homes is one of my absolute favorite activities. Through creating a stress-free real estate transaction, I assist in cultivating a fabulous lifestyle for both my buyers and sellers. In my spare time, I enjoy a plethora of activities. I enjoy swimming, decorating, shopping for new homes, and yes, seeing new construction homes! Did I say I love real estate? I love new clients, new projects, and new opportunities to serve others. Reach out and let’s start something amazing!
