About Melissa

Real estate has never felt like just a job to me—it’s something I truly love doing.
Helping people find the right home, successfully sell a property, or make an important move in their lives is incredibly rewarding. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many wonderful buyers and sellers, and the relationships I’ve built along the way are what make this career so meaningful to me.
For more than 23 years, I have been helping clients navigate the real estate markets in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Parrish, and Sarasota and Gulf Coast. One of the things I’m most grateful for is that over 85% of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals. That level of trust means everything to me and reflects the commitment I bring to every transaction. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husband Tim and I have been married for 21 years, and we have two wonderful sons, Jacob and Nathan. We love taking advantage of Florida’s beautiful weather—spending time on the water, enjoying outdoor activities and cheering on our boys at their hockey games. We have loved living in Manatee county for the last 20 years where we have raised our family, made life long friendships and have the opportunities to take advantage of all this amazing community has to offer!

Buying or selling a home is a major life decision, and having the right guidance can make all the difference.
When you work with me, you can expect:
-Expert Local Market Knowledge
-Strategic Pricing & Marketing Plans designed to attract the right buyers
-Advanced Technology Marketing Tools that maximize exposure
-Strong Negotiation Skills to protect your investment
-Consistent Communication is incredibly important to me. My commitment to every client is personal, quick, and efficient communication throughout the entire process. I never want my clients to have questions that go unanswered. If you need guidance, updates, or simply reassurance, I am personally there to work together with you every step of the way.
I also partner with a trusted team of industry professionals—including lenders, photographers, inspectors, marketing specialists, and closing professionals—to ensure every step of the transaction runs smoothly.
Selling a home today requires much more than simply putting a sign in the yard and listing it in the MLS. The difference between an average result and an exceptional result often comes down to strategy, exposure, and presentation.
Getting an offer is only the first step. My experience and negotiation skills help protect your interests and guide the transaction smoothly from contract to closing.
By combining strategic pricing, advanced marketing technology, and skilled negotiation, my goal is always the same: get your home under contract quickly while helping you achieve the highest possible net proceeds.
Whether you're searching for your first home, dream home, or investment property, I will guide you through every step of the process with expertise and care.
I help buyers:
-Find the best homes available using all of my local knowledge to guide buyers to the home that fits all the needs
-Guidance through the lending and title process
-Navigate negotiations and inspections
-Purchase with confidence
Over the years I have a proven track record of success and have been recognized with awards and accolades including Top Agent in 2023 and 2025, International Diamond Society in 2023 and 2025, International Sterling Society in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2024.
I would be honored to help you purchase or sell!
