Melissa Hooks, REALTOR® | Turning “For Sale” into “Sold!” with a Smile
Born and raised in Bartow, FL, I’m as Polk County as sweet tea on a summer porch. With deep hometown roots and 27 years of experience as a Court Program Specialist II (plus a Supreme Court of Florida certification as a county and family mediator), I know a thing or two about negotiation, deadlines, and getting things done, no procrastination allowed!
I’m a proud Bartow High School grad, a Polk State College alum with a degree in Criminal Justice, and most importantly a dedicated mom to my amazing 19-year-old daughter.
Real estate isn’t just my job, it’s my calling. I’m here to help you find more than a house; I want you to find home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or ready to sell, I’ll guide you every step of the way with energy, efficiency, and a whole lot of heart.
When I’m not making deals happen, you’ll find me soaking up the sun at my happy place—Anna Maria Island, cheering for the Florida State Seminoles, reminiscing about my softball glory days, or traveling to new destinations. I’m also active at Access Church, where community and connection are at the heart of everything.
If you’re ready to make a move in Polk County (or beyond), I’m ready to make it happen, fast, stress-free, and with your best interests front and center.
