  • Michele Rennie - Team Leader

    Real Estate is in Michele’s DNA as her mother was a successful broker and operated an independent real estate firm in Canada. However, Michele took a long road to get here, working in diverse industries including several successful startups where she drove the business through her savvy sales and marketing. IN 2000, Ste Michelle Wine Estates saw her potential and hired her to oversee their numerous wine clubs and direct-to-consumer sales.

    Since going into real estate in 2014, Michele has successfully closed more than 125 transactions -including several over $1M. While the market in Walla Walla is mostly residential, Michele has assisted both sellers and buyers with their small winery and vineyard properties, as well as several lodging properties that include Girasol, Weinhard Hotel, Walla Faces (Johnson Ridge) and Fat Duck Inn.

  • David Stephenson - WA Broker

    In 1999, when David arrived in Walla Walla, there were just 14 wineries.  He honed his winemaking skills at Waterbrook Winery and soon was making wine for both their label and their custom crush clients.  At night, Dave poured over the UC Davis enology and viticulture curriculum courses.

    After Waterbrook, Dave started his eponymous label and signed on as Otis Kenyon winemaker. Gradually, he has expanded his consulting list of wineries and start-ups.

    David and Michele began to work together when Michele listed winery and vineyard properties and needed a knowledgeable, down-to-earth consultant.

    One conversation led to the next, and in 2020, David became a licensed WA Broker. David’s wealth of hands-on experience will be invaluable to your purchase or sale of your wine property.
