About Michelle Kemper
Michelle Kemper is an Arizona Designated Broker and REALTOR® serving Surprise and Arizona’s West Valley with more than two decades of real estate experience and a background in mortgage lending, contracts, negotiation, compliance, and brokerage oversight.
Hi, I’m Michelle Kemper, Designated Broker and co-owner of Shebang Realty. I’ve been helping Arizona homeowners since 2002, and my focus has always been helping clients make informed real estate decisions with experienced guidance, clear communication, and professional representation.
As the Designated Broker for Shebang Realty, I oversee brokerage operations, contracts, transaction management, compliance, advertising, supervision, and client representation. That responsibility gives me a unique perspective because I don’t just work inside real estate transactions. I also oversee the systems, standards, and regulatory responsibilities behind the brokerage.
Before becoming a Designated Broker, I spent more than 12 years working as a loan officer. That experience gave me firsthand knowledge of financing, loan qualification, lending requirements, contracts, timelines, and the financial side of buying and selling real estate.
At Shebang Realty, Mike and I built our business around a simple belief: Arizona homeowners deserve better information, better service, transparent pricing, and the opportunity to keep more of their hard-earned equity.
That’s why our Sell Smarter approach combines education-first guidance with full-service representation and a listing commission that never exceeds $8,500, or 2% if less.

Michelle’s Real Estate Journey
Michelle’s path into real estate began with a strong foundation in mortgage lending before expanding into more than two decades of Arizona real estate experience and, ultimately, brokerage leadership.

Why Work With a Designated Broker?
The Designated Broker carries responsibility for supervising and controlling the real estate activities conducted through the brokerage. That includes oversight of transactions, contracts, advertising, recordkeeping, compliance, licensees, brokerage procedures, and professional standards.
For clients, that means Michelle brings both transaction-level experience and brokerage-level perspective to the table.
Why Work With Michelle Kemper?
Real estate transactions combine financial decisions, contracts, deadlines, negotiations, disclosures, financing, inspections, and dozens of moving pieces. Michelle’s background allows her to look at those decisions from several perspectives at once.
Arizona Communities Michelle Serves
Michelle works with buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and relocating homeowners throughout Surprise and Arizona’s West Valley. If you’re considering selling, explore the Shebang Realty seller resources below.
Distressed Property Experience
Real estate becomes especially difficult when a homeowner is facing financial hardship, foreclosure concerns, a potential short sale, or uncertainty about what options may still be available.
As a CDPE® (Certified Distressed Property Expert), Michelle has completed specialized education related to distressed-property situations.
The goal is not to pressure homeowners into selling. It’s to help them understand the real estate side of their situation, identify the questions that need to be answered, and evaluate available options with clear information.
Protect Your Equity. Sell Smarter.
Every homeowner’s situation is different. Before making a decision, let’s look at your goals, your home’s potential value, selling costs, available equity, market conditions, transaction considerations, and the strategies available so you can decide what makes the most sense for you.
Or 2% if less. Full-service representation from consultation through closing.
No pressure. No obligation. Just honest guidance and experienced representation you can trust.
