Launa's Story

Superpower:
Remaining steady, detail-oriented, and proactive in complex or high-pressure situations.

Zigs and Zags:
Launa’s path to real estate was shaped by a career rooted in service, responsibility, and precision. Trained as a Registered Nurse, she spent years in environments where attention to detail, discretion, and trust were essential. That foundation was later expanded through certification as a Functional Medicine Health Coach, deepening her understanding of how environment, lifestyle, and home directly influence quality of life.

Motherhood and the broader shifts brought on during 2020 served as a turning point, aligning her professional experience with her personal values. Her transition into real estate reflects a consistent through-line in her work: guiding people through meaningful decisions with structure, empathy, and confidence. She approaches each client relationship with the belief that thoughtful preparation and informed choices create better outcomes.

Work Life:
Launa brings a multidisciplinary perspective to the Bailey Advisory Group, combining healthcare training, hospitality experience, and market-driven real estate strategy. She is known for her methodical approach, strong communication skills, and ability to translate complex information into clear, actionable guidance.

Committed to continuous education, Launa is an active member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing and is dedicated to ongoing professional development. She takes pride in delivering a client experience defined by trust, preparation, and long-term value, while contributing meaningfully to the collaborative culture and standards of excellence within the Bailey Advisory Group.

License # BK3244265

Superpower:
Innate ability to eat a whole tub of ice cream in one sitting.

Zigs and Zags:
The world shutting down in March of 2020 due to a worldwide pandemic was the least of her worries as her husband of 27 years was diagnosed with stage four salivary gland cancer the same month. The next two years were spent in treatment in the midst of figuring out how to support her family, building their dream house, opening a real estate brokerage while being president of the local Realtor association among other things. Did I mention she and Scott had 3 teenage boys to manage in the midst of - well, see above. Part of her life story ended when Scott passed away in December of 2021 but the next series of struggles began as a solo parent to three very strong willed humans. I think they call it motherhood. But she’s doing it - Day by day, sometimes minute by minute - because she believes everything is figureoutable in the end and there is nothing in this world more important than faith and family.

Work Life:
Michele is a former court reporter by trade who worked with real estate attorneys hearing how everything went wrong for agents and homeowners for over ten years in Birmingham, Alabama. The birth of her first child lead to a relocation to the beach and a transition out of the legal world into a more creative one. She opened a scrapbook store until two more pregnancies resulted in two more sons and the nanny making more than she did. A brief hiatus from work allowed her to switch gears into real estate over a decade ago and she hasn’t looked back since. A desire to improve the industry she serves lead to the past ten years serving on various Realtor committees, boards and organizations and becoming an advocate for her clients in all things related to home ownership like insurance reform and private property rights. A dedicated education junkie she has amassed a plethora of letters after her name indicative of her passion for learning which most folks doesn’t know what they mean but demonstrate a desire to always be learning more about the industry she serves.

TESTIMONIALS

Real Clients. Real Stories.

"Michele made buying my beachfront home such a smooth process. Michele answered my questions quickly and completely. I can't imagine going through this long distance process without Michele's knowledge and advice. She kept me informed every step of the way. I loved working with Michele and I love my new 2nd home. Michele and her team are the best I have ever worked with."

Home Buyer

"Michele did a great job during a difficult national time (COVID) in selling our home in Watercolor. She's always helpful and friendly and goes out of her way to make things happen. We bought another house with her help and it too went very quickly and very well with her good advice and ability to make things happen."

Happy Homeowner

"Where to start? From the very first phone conversation, I knew we were going to be friends for life. Besides being an AMAZING REALTOR®, she’s just a good human - thoughtful, caring, selfless...And the REALTOR® part? Well, you will have to look long and hard for someone who knows more. Her background is extensive in the field and she’s constantly learning and researching. I have no doubt that I could not have closed this deal with anyone else. She worked to find answers to questions before I even had a chance to ask. If you want someone who works for you as if it’s her own purchase, look no further. She’s the GO-TO agent on 30A!"

Happy Buyer

"Michele is an excellent REALTOR® and we will use Michele again and would highly recommend her. Being out of state buyers, we relied on Michele's extensive knowledge of the 30A area and market. She was very patient to answer all our questions, and we were very pleased with how prompt Michele responded. Michele always went above and beyond to check in with us and to take some of our questions to her other professional contacts to make sure we had the best and most accurate information. Michele exceeded our expectations for all she did for us as a REALTOR®!"

Home Buyers

"Michele Bailey is a true real estate professional. She listened to our needs and helped us find the perfect property. Details can make or break a closing. Michele was proactive and helped us address any issues so that the process ran smoothly. We highly recommend her and cannot imagine working with anyone else."

Happy Homeowner

"Michelle sold our home quickly while others lingered on the market for a year or more. She came over and presented us with her marketing plan and then executed her plan brilliantly. She is truly professional, knowledgeable, experienced, smart, patient and kind. Hands down the best we’ve ever worked with buying or selling."
