About
For Patti Michels, a lifelong resident of DuPage County and a 30-year resident of Downers Grove, real estate was a natural career path. She grew up watching her parents in the home construction and remodeling businesses, visiting her fair share of open houses and construction sites. Those experiences taught her the value of hard work and perseverance.

After a successful 10 years in sales for a large company, Patti shifted gears in 1997 to pursue a career in real estate.

In 2015, Patti joined forces with her son Chase, who brought experience in commercial real estate as well as a client service approach centered around building relationships and trust.

The combination of Patti’s decades of experience and Chase’s marketing and technology skills has created a dynamic cross-generational team. Together, The Michels Group has sold over 460 homes and generated over $300 million in sales volume. The pair has consistently been ranked as a top 15 real estate team in DuPage County.
