From those relocating to Nashville to first-time homeowners to buyers and sellers of exclusive luxury properties, Melanie has built her real estate business based on integrity, determination and expertise in the Nashville area and Williamson County market. Melanie’s successful longevity throughout decades of real estate cycles and closing hundreds of transactions is a testament to her resiliency and ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Zeitlin Sotheby's International Realty assures her client's local and global recognition plus the ultimate commitment to excellence. Melanie has high sales experience in every Nashville and Williamson County neighborhood with every type of property. Her clients have also greatly benefited from her knowledge that many listings and sales take place outside the established MLS system and are not yet advertised or listed in the local MLS database. Whenever a local agent has one of these “pocket listings”, they share the information with only a handful of agents to whom they think may have potential buyers. Melanie is invariably one of the people they call. This intel is also bolstered by Melanie being a member of two local Realtor-to-Realtor referral groups that meet once a month to exchange upcoming listings and buyer needs. Melanie began her career in residential real estate sales in 2000 with Zeitlin & Company Realtors after working in public relations and marketing for Hospital Corporation of America, Quorum Health Group and Murray Bicycles. Utilizing her prior marketing and public relations experience has proved to be an excellent springboard into real estate benefiting both her buyers and sellers, particularly with today’s high emphasis on web-based omnichannel marketing and the need for smart engaging content.
