Michelle René | Destination Lifestyle Real Estate
Michelle René is the Broker Owner of Destination Lifestyle Real Estate, a boutique Coeur d’Alene-based brokerage built around a simple idea: design a life you love by loving where you live.
Michelle lives and works in downtown Coeur d’Alene, with her office conveniently located in the same building as the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce and the Coeur d’Alene Visitor Center, operated by the Coeur d’Alene Visitors Bureau, at First Street and Sherman Avenue. She is deeply connected to the community and the lifestyle that makes Coeur d’Alene such an extraordinary place to visit, and an even more special place to call home.
With more than nine years of real estate experience, Michelle specializes in residential, luxury, waterfront, and lifestyle real estate throughout Coeur d’Alene and the surrounding North Idaho communities. She is known for her deep local market knowledge, strategic marketing expertise, personalized approach, and commitment to 5 Star Service every step of the way.
For Michelle, Coeur d’Alene isn’t simply a market she serves. It’s home.
After growing up in Southern California and later living in Northern California, Michelle made the move to Coeur d’Alene in 2006 in search of a different quality of life: more time outdoors, a strong sense of community, four beautiful seasons, and a place where she could raise her three children. Nearly two decades later, she still considers moving to Coeur d’Alene one of the best lifestyle decisions she has made.
Today, Michelle loves sharing the lifestyle that first drew her here. From mornings along the lake and walkable downtown neighborhoods to boating, trails, golf, skiing, local restaurants, community events, and the natural beauty that surrounds the region, she understands that choosing a home is also about choosing how you want to live.
Through Destination Lifestyle Real Estate, Michelle represents homes and places that support the Art of Living Well, with a particular interest in walkable communities, waterfront and lifestyle properties, and longevity-friendly homes.
