With deep Staten Island roots and a background in photography, management, marketing and design, she brings a polished eye, honest guidance, and a highly personalized approach to real estate. After graduating Notre Dame Academy and St. John’s University - Michelle launched Fichera Fotography llc, a professional children’s photography studio based in Dongan Hills, SI. This is where she built a reputation for creativity, attention to detail, and client service. She was also honored with the Staten Island Chamber of Commerce Annual Building Award in 2006 for Excellence in Interior and Craftsmanship for her custom built home. Having lived on the Island for nearly her whole life, Michelle understands how surprising it is to discover Lake Hopatcong—New Jersey’s largest lake and vibrant four-season destination - which is only an hour from SI. Today, she loves helping Staten Islanders explore a place that offers beautiful homes, boating, lakefront dining, year-round activities, and the kind of summer home people can truly enjoy all year long. For her clients, it is not just about buying a lakehouse... It is about discovering a lifestyle so close to home that feels like a world away.
