Michelle Ivy founded The Elizabeth Group in 2008 and is the Broker in Charge. Michelle built a real estate firm with two major goals; to build a boutique firm with seasoned agents that care about their clients experience and that media matters. This meant requiring agents to use professional photographers to showcase all listings no matter the listing price. Michelle also owns a financial planning and investment management firm HarborVest Advisors. Her professional focus is helping clients understand and build a well balanced portfolio of both retirement funds and real estate.
Michelle was born and raised in Charleston and is the mother of two children. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from The College of Charleston and she resides in West Ashley.
