ABOUT MICHELLE BAILEY

In 2005, California native Michelle Bailey headed to Boise, Idaho for a new life with her two young children. After having built a career in public safety, she realized that would not be her forever path. Characteristic of Michelle, she made an unconventional decision and dove headfirst into real estate. She became a Realtor® in 2006 as a single mother, living in a new city, having zero sales history. She quickly made her mark, becoming a Broker in 2009, building a highly productive business, and garnering the attention of one of the country's top real estate business owners, Ben Kinney. This led to a 2016 partnership with Kinney and Bailey in Boise, which has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise. In 2019 she continued building her influence within the industry becoming a business coach with Forward Coaching. Michelle has coached both established real estate brokers as well as launching new real estate agents to hitting over $5M in sales production, within their first year. In 2021, the Idaho Business Review named Michelle the 4th most influential person in residential real estate in Idaho on their Power 25 list. Also in 2021, she was named Realtor® of the Year with the Boise Regional Realtors.

Current positions:

President Elect of Idaho Realtors
Chair of Multiple Listing Issues and Policies Committee for National Association of Realtors

Broker CE - Cancelled

This class has been cancelled. Please check back for future classes.

It is important that Brokers have a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Realtor® Code of Ethics and laws that apply to their day-to-day business.  They need to know and practice risk management procedures to protect themselves from poor performance reviews and potential lawsuits. A good understanding of hiring and employment practices, Teams legislation, escrow requirements, and other Real Estate related issues is paramount to running a successful business.

Brokers will be able to use the knowledge gained from this instruction to better protect their agents, clients, themselves and their firms.  In particular, they will also have a better appreciation for the need to scrutinize contracts and other documents to ensure they comply with applicable laws and the Code of Ethics.

Fish Where The Fish Are

Last in the 2024 Real Estate Success Series! A real estate agents most valuable asset is their time and how they allocate it.  If you walk a neighborhood and door knock on 100 homes asking people if they are thinking of buying or selling, statistically speaking you will find 1 lead.

 Fish Where the Fish Are is designed to teach you systems to locate people with the highest probability of needing the services of a real estate agent.  How to find them, how to contact them, what to say.  

 If you are a newer agent struggling to get your phone to ring this class is for you. It is designed to give you a few new ideas or golden nugget that you can implement to grow your business.
