Melanie first received her real estate license in 1996 and began working with Fonville Morisey off Creedmoor and Strickland in North Raleigh in 1997. In 1999, she opened her own real estate company, Cornerstone Real Estate & Associates. In 2005, she moved her company to RE/MAX Capital Realty, where her real estate team became the top 4 in North and South Carolina in 2007. Throughout her RE/MAX career, Melanie earned the Hall of Fame award, the Platinum award, and the 100% Award, several times over. Locally, she has served on the Raleigh Regional Board of Directors in 2009, 2010, and 2011, and was a North Carolina Association Realtor Board Director in 2011. She was also chosen for the first Leadership Academy at the Raleigh Regional Board in 2008 and has served as a Dean for the Leadership Academy since then. Melanie was part of the RRAR Top Producers Council in 2005, 2006, and 2007, and served as Co-Chair of the RRAR Top Producers Council in 2007. She has also been on the Grievance Committee since 2003. However, Melanie’s proudest achievements are her five beautiful daughters. As a hardworking single mother, she is the proud mom of Allaura (aka, Lala), who is 9, and Kaidan (aka, Kiki), Willow, Bella, and Sophie, all 5 years old. In 2007, she was stunned but thrilled to give birth to quadruplets, a life-changing moment she will never forget. With nearly 18 years of experience and a lifetime of negotiating under her belt as a mother of five, Melanie is a true expert in the art of negotiation. Whether it's real estate deals or tiaras and glitter, her life is filled with excitement and joy.
