Real estate for real life.
Buying or selling a home involves big decisions and plenty of moving parts. I bring thoughtful guidance, practical insight, and a personal approach to real estate throughout Richmond and Central Virginia.
Let's talk about your next move→About Misha
Hi, I'm Misha.
I'm a Virginia-licensed real estate agent serving Richmond and the surrounding communities. I bring a background in professional association management, federal healthcare consulting, and finance to work that's ultimately about people, property, and important decisions.
I enjoy the research, the details, and the problem-solving that come with real estate. But what I find most rewarding is helping people make sense of their options, especially when they're navigating something unfamiliar.
Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring what's possible, my approach is grounded in preparation, clear communication, and an understanding of what matters to you.

Explore Richmond

Buying
Find a home. Understand the process.
A home search can begin with a clear plan or just a few ideas about what you might want next.
Either way, there's more to buying than finding a property you love.
From understanding your budget and evaluating neighborhoods to comparing properties and developing an offer strategy, I'll help you navigate the process with useful information and a clear understanding of your options.
One of my favorite parts of working with buyers is helping them identify what they're looking for, even when they aren't quite sure how to describe it yet.

Selling
A thoughtful approach to selling.
A successful home sale involves more than choosing a listing price and putting a sign in the yard.
Preparation, pricing, presentation, timing, and negotiation all contribute to how a property is positioned in the market.
I approach each listing with research, attention to detail, and a plan tailored to the property and the seller's priorities.
From evaluating comparable sales to preparing your home for photography, reviewing offers, and coordinating the details through closing, I'll help you understand the decisions involved and move forward with confidence.

Also
There's also The Baking Agent.
Real estate isn't the only business I've built.
The Baking Agent is my specialty baked goods brand, bringing distinctive cookies, brownies, and seasonal collections to life through thoughtfully crafted products and packaging.
What started as a creative outlet has grown into a business of its own, with products available through retail and wholesale partners, along with corporate gifting and foodservice offerings.
It's where I get to experiment with flavors, develop new products, dream up collections, and turn ideas into something people can actually enjoy (or gift to someone else).
I love the process of building a brand from the ground up, from the smallest details to the bigger picture. Alongside real estate, it's another important part of the work I do and the life I've chosen to create.
Let's find what's next.
Maybe you're ready to make a move. Maybe you're still weighing your options. Or maybe you just have a question and aren't sure where to begin.
Wherever you are in the process, I'm happy to start with a conversation.
We'll talk about what you're considering, what matters to you, and what a useful next step might look like.
