A native of Mobile, Michelle McQuillan brings a dynamic background to real estate. After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, Michelle spent nine years in Asia as a journalist. She wrote for several Japanese and American newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, Variety, and The International Herald Tribune, before ultimately becoming the Japan Bureau Chief for the San Francisco Chronicle.

After moving to Washington, D.C., with her husband, Mark, to start a family, Michelle soon launched her own high-end children's clothing store, a highly successful venture that she sold after several years in order to relocate to Charleston. Michelle then zealously dove into Charleston real estate, with her energy and professionalism propelling her success. In only her second year in the business, she was honored with REALTOR® of Distinction status, placing her among the top 4% of REALTORS® in the Charleston area, and was awarded membership in the East Cooper Top Producers Club. In 2021 and 2022, she was inducted into the Christie’s International Real Estate Masters Circle, affirming her position as a top luxury Realtor. Most recently, Michelle was one of only a select few in the country to earn the designation as a Christie’s International Property Specialist, to help expand her reach to clients around the world.

In 2004, Michelle moved to the I'On community of Mount Pleasant with her husband and two young children and has lived there ever since. Her now adult children have left town to pursue their careers, but Michelle and her husband love living in this award-winning new urbanism community. She has consistently been the top agent in I'On, selling more than $298 million in luxury real estate, with some $227 million of that in I’On properties alone. In her free time, she is very active in I'On At Home as a board member and loves playing mahjong, pickleball and keeping up with her reading, as she is part of two neighborhood book clubs. Michelle’s passion for meeting the needs of her clients and her tireless efforts to negotiate the best deals, even sometimes in the most difficult circumstances, earned her the respect of clients and friends alike who often recommend her to others.
