Michelle Irene Holcenberg
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
Lafayette - CA

**Holcenberg Team: Wendy and Michelle**

With deep roots in Lamorinda since 1978, the Holcenbergs possess extensive knowledge of the local real estate landscape. Wendy and her husband, Stan, relocated their family to Moraga during a time when the area featured only a bowling alley and a Jack in the Box. Their daughter, Michelle, along with her brother, spent their childhood swimming at Campolindo Cabana Club and attending local schools. Today, Michelle and her husband have chosen to raise their own children in nearby Orinda, drawn by the community's strong public school system, abundant outdoor activities, and the close-knit atmosphere that defines the area.

Wendy has been a dedicated real estate professional since 1978, and Michelle joined her in 2003, forming a mother-daughter team with over 50 years of combined experience. Their collaborative approach ensures that clients receive personalized attention throughout the buying or selling process. The Holcenberg team is known for their in-depth local expertise, effective marketing strategies, extensive networking, and refined negotiation skills. They leverage advanced technology and maintain strong relationships with fellow agents to facilitate seamless transactions, meticulously managing every detail.
