Michele Jonietz is a REALTOR® with Seven Gables Real Estate in Tustin, serving Whittier, greater Los Angeles, and Orange County with a people-first approach and the kind of knowledgeable, steady guidance that sits at the center of everything she does. A Southern California native and 30+ year Whittier resident, Michele has built her life — and her career — on long-term relationships and a genuine commitment to the people behind every transaction.
With a keen eye for design that flourished while owning and operating two salons in Los Angeles for over 25 years, Michele brings extensive business and management experience to every client and every transaction. Years of running a service-driven business taught her how to lead teams, manage finances, navigate complexity, and care for clients through every stage of a relationship — skills that translate seamlessly to guiding buyers and sellers today.
Michele specializes in life-transition real estate — helping families navigate empty-nest moves, first-home purchases for adult children, and the emotional complexity of estate, probate, and trust sales. Her recent transactions reflect that focus: an off-market probate sale involving a reverse mortgage in foreclosure, sold quickly to investors on behalf of an out-of-state heir in Oregon; a trust sale coordinating four trustees through an emotionally layered estate; an active triplex investment property in escrow; and first-time buyers stepping into homeownership for the first time.
Her credentials include the Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR), Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), First Time Buyer Specialist (FTBS), and Real Estate Investing (REI) certifications. Michele has been recognized as a Top Producer at Seven Gables Real Estate's Tustin Office (December 2024 and March 2025) and was honored with the company's Amazing Climb Recognition in 2025 for doubling year-over-year production. Michele has earned five-star reviews on Google from clients who trusted her with some of the most meaningful transactions of their lives.
Working with Michele, clients can expect honest guidance, steady support, and a process that feels far simpler than it should. Outside of real estate, she leads the Foster Youth Ministry at Whittier Area Community Church, supports YMalawi/Home Safe, enjoys going to concerts and traveling, and loves hosting friends and family at her Whittier home.
