Michelle Riordan

Why do you enjoy being an agent? 

I love being a real estate agent because it allows me to combine relationships, strategy, and service in a way that truly makes a difference in people’s lives. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions most people will ever make, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m honored to be the person my clients trust to guide them through it.

What can you tell us about you?

I was raised around relocation and new beginnings, spending my early years between Germany, Rochester, and Albany before returning to my father’s hometown of Fairport after his service in the U.S. Army. Fairport is home, and I’m a proud FHS graduate with deep roots in this community.

Family, service, and community are central to who I am. I live in Fairport with my husband, a U.S. Marine veteran and volunteer member of the Fairport Fire Department, and our two children. We are actively involved in our local schools and youth sports. While I love to travel as much as possible, most of our trips now involve loading the car from lacrosse and football fields to cheerleading competitions and with a family getaway squeezed in!

Staying connected, creating meaningful experiences, and guiding people through important life transitions with care and confidence are what drive both my personal life and the way I serve my clients.

What sets you and your business apart from other agents?

What truly sets me apart is the way I combine high-level strategy with deeply personal service. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to real estate. Every client, every home, and every situation is different, and I take the time to understand goals, timelines, and concerns before building a plan that actually fits. My business is built on communication, preparation, and advocacy. Your goals become my mission, and I stay focused until we achieve the results we set out to accomplish.
