Sisters Find Each Other After 45 Years Apart - Living in the Same City With Sons Going to the Same School

Sisters Find Each Other After 45 Years Apart - Living in the Same City With Sons Going to the Same School
Reunited after decades of not knowing they had a sister in the same city, the two now sell real estate together under Sisters Selling Vegas.

They share the same father, are the same age, and have lived in the same city for over 30 years.

Yet, each sister was unaware of the other's existence, having been born to different mothers separated through unfortunate circumstances 51 years ago. They've reunited recently, however, after a DNA test, and it's absolutely spooky how much they have in common.

Their kids graduated on the same day from the identical high school in Las Vegas, with each sister attending the graduation and shooting videos of the ceremony from different angles.

Michele Dugan was the one who went to foster care and was later adopted, while her sister, Trish Morgan, remained with their father and Trish's birth mother.

Three years ago Michele decided it was time she discovered where she came from and signed up for Ancestry.com. To her surprise, she received a message from a woman named Trish asking to meet for coffee.

The two recognized their bond immediately.

"It was like looking at a ghost," said Morgan. "The blue eyes, the hair, everything. So I couldn't stop staring at her. Like, you're definitely my sister-for sure 1,000 percent."

They spent hours sipping and chatting about their lives, trying to catch up for lost decades.

They were amazed not only by the fact that their sons were the same age and walking the same school hallways, but that they both had a background in real estate.

Trish had enrolled in real estate school but had not yet received her certification. Michelle was something of a Las Vegas real estate legend, having worked in the industry for nearly 25 years. This shared career passion made teaming up an obvious next step.

Michele encouraged Trish to get her certification and together they soon launched 'Sisters Selling Vegas' for the Realty ONE Group.

"It was the universe talking," said Michele, who was at somewhat of a low point in her life.

"I was so busy. I remember saying to someone, 'I need another me. I need someone who really likes to work and cater to clients and is not just in it for the paycheck, but in it for all the right reasons.' And there she is! We just came into each other's life at the absolute perfect time."

Sisters Selling Vegas reportedly closed 44 transactions with $12 million in gross sales last year.

Because both girls grew up with only brothers, their new relationship is all the more special.

"I always wanted a sister-always," said Morgan.
