ABOUT MICHELLE #michelleinbelize

Greetings from the beautiful landscapes of BELIZE! Thank you for taking the time to discover more about me. I'm excited to learn your story and what has drawn you to explore Belize. Let's connect further on my online calendar to chat: http://calendly.com/MichelleBelize. In the meantime, let me share a glimpse of who I am—Michelle Sharpe.

Picture this: a snowy day in Canada (yes, really!), where my journey began. I'm the proud wife of Ed and mother to our wonderful daughters, Jessica and Julia. Our family blossomed amidst the serene Northern Woods of Ontario, near Emily Park, in the quaint town of 'Omemee,' the birthplace of the legendary Neil Young. Ed and I met at the age of 19, tied the knot, and welcomed our two daughters into the world.

While Ed pursued a career as an Electronic Technologist at Canon Canada, I embarked on a fulfilling path in Real Estate Marketing. Starting as a receptionist in a Toronto Real Estate office, I played a role in developing the first Real Estate Software. Fast forward through a diverse career, from owning a women's executive clothing store to leading a Real Estate Virtual Tour company as VP of Sales and Franchises for North America.

Ed and I delved into Real Estate investment after his early retirement from Canon, managing 11 rental units alongside our home in the woods. Juggling global travel for training and speaking engagements, I established my presence as a Real Estate speaker and marketing expert.

After numerous Caribbean getaways, we asked ourselves, "Why endure the snowy wonderland?" The decision was made to sell everything, embark on a warm adventure, and build our dream—JJEM Cabana Boutique Resort (www.JJEMCabanas.com) named after Jessica, Julia, Ed, and Michelle. Now, I am living my passion as a Real Estate 'DREAM CONSULTANT' and accredited International REALTOR® with RE/MAX 1st Choice Belize, the world's LARGEST Real Estate Franchise. My mission is to educate, share, and guide individuals like you on your unique journey.

Understanding your 'WHY' is paramount, a principle beautifully emphasized in Simon Sinek's book, "Start with Why." I live by the mantra: LIVE. DREAM. EDUCATE. SHARE. FULFILL. FOLLOW THROUGH. If you're harboring dreams waiting to be fulfilled, I'm grateful for the chance to impart my knowledge and assist you in finding exactly what you seek.

Sincerely,Michelle
