About Misha
I got into real estate because I wanted to do it differently.
My job isn't to sell you on a decision. It's to help you make a good one.
The longer version.
Before real estate, I spent more than a decade working in professional association management and federal healthcare consulting, and earned my MBA along the way. It wasn't an obvious path to real estate, but it gave me something I use constantly now: the ability to make sense of complicated information, ask better questions, and help people make decisions with clarity.
That's the kind of real estate practice I wanted to build.
Buying or selling a home is a big financial decision, but it's also an intensely personal one. My job isn't to manufacture urgency or talk you into a decision. It's to help you understand your options, notice what matters, anticipate what comes next, and give you straightforward advice—even when the best answer is to wait, walk away, or reconsider.
I believe good representation should feel thoughtful, calm, and highly competent. You'll get honest guidance, careful attention to the details, and room to make decisions without pressure.
Home with Misha isn't built around chasing as many transactions as possible. I'm much more interested in doing work I can stand behind and creating an experience where my clients feel informed, prepared, and genuinely represented.
Because at the end of the day, the goal isn't simply to get to closing. It's to help you make a decision that still feels like the right one after the paperwork is signed.

Philosophy
How I think about this work.
Honesty over comfort
I'll tell you when a house isn't right for you. I'll tell you when your price is wrong. I'll tell you when the inspection report is actually fine and when it's a real problem. That's what you're hiring me for.
Fewer clients, more attention
I work with a small number of buyers and sellers at a time. You get my full attention, not a team member you've never met.
Richmond is my neighborhood too
I live here. I care about this city. The advice I give you is the same advice I'd give a close friend — because I'm going to see you at the farmers market after the deal closes.
The process should make sense
Real estate has a lot of moving parts. I'll explain what's happening and why at every stage. You shouldn't feel like things are just happening to you.
The Baking Agent
There's Also The Baking Agent
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. The Baking Agent is where creativity meets entrepreneurship. 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 way I get to do work that's thoughtful, hands-on, and entirely my own — and an important part of the life I've chosen to create.
