Michelle Gabriel is a seasoned real estate professional based out of Weichert’s Union Square office at 27 Union Square West, Suite 308, New York, NY, serving clients throughout the Upper East Side and surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods. She has been a licensed commercial real estate professional for over 15 years, bringing a strategic, media-savvy, and globally informed perspective to every transaction.

Before transitioning fully into residential real estate, Michelle built an accomplished career as Director of Public Relations for a large international hotel group in New York City, alongside extensive experience in commercial real estate. This background gives her a rare advantage: the ability to position properties not simply as listings, but as desirable brands. Her expertise in storytelling, media positioning, and audience engagement ensures that each home she represents stands out in a competitive marketplace.

Australian-born and internationally minded, Michelle is known as a visionary strategist with a refined aesthetic sensibility. She has a deep appreciation for architecture, interior design, and the arts, and brings a creative, thoughtful eye to evaluating homes—from highlighting distinctive architectural details to envisioning and sharing inspired “fixer-upper” possibilities. 

Michelle’s passion for real estate is rooted in the satisfaction of helping people find not just a house, but a true home. She thrives in the dynamic nature of the industry and remains committed to staying current with market conditions, evolving trends, and her clients’ changing needs. Her multilingual and multicultural background further enhances her ability to connect with a diverse, global clientele. She is currently studying Spanish and also has foundational knowledge of French and Italian, reinforcing her sophisticated, international approach.

What truly sets Michelle apart is her aesthetic intelligence combined with media expertise. She understands how to stage a space, craft a compelling narrative, and market a property in a way that cuts through the noise. Her strategic vision ensures clients receive a polished, world-class experience—whether buying or selling—backed by thoughtful guidance and meticulous attention to detail.

Michelle completed liberal arts coursework in Montreux, Switzerland, an education that further sharpened her cultural awareness and appreciation for design, presentation, and global perspective.

With a reputation for professionalism, creativity, and strategic insight, Michelle serves as a trusted advisor and advocate, guiding her clients through every step of the real estate process with confidence, clarity, and style.
