Melissa became a licensed REALTOR® in 2007 after many years of experience working in the financial industry as an executive assistant. Her 15-year career as an executive assistant allowed her to develop the skills to engage with her clients and customers with the utmost confidence and professionalism. Melissa began her career in 2007 in her home state of Delaware before making a major life change with her husband Brian in 2011, to move to the beautiful Florida Keys. While living in the Florida Keys, she started her real estate career where she worked diligently at becoming a top producer with the company and Keys-wide. She specializes in helping buyers and sellers from Key Largo to the Marathon area, as well as successfully establishing herself in the luxury real estate market.
After many years of living in the Florida Keys and supporting her husband’s love for the ocean, boating, and fishing, Melissa realized that she wanted to follow her dream of living in the mountains and creating a life of having the best of both worlds.
