Melissa Shaheen

Melissa Shaheen knows what it takes to be one of the top real estate professionals working today in the Richmond metropolitan area.

Born into a distinguished Richmond real-estate family with a reputation that goes back decades, Melissa credits her late father, Arthur J. Shaheen, a 35-year Richmond real-estate veteran, with giving her the drive, enthusiasm, and competitive spirit that have helped her rise to the level of Associate Broker with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville, a title that reflects expertise in residential real-estate.

But any home buyer or seller lucky enough to work with Melissa quickly finds that her sharp attention to detail, peerless customer-service skills, and unique talent for nurturing her clients are the real keys to helping them navigate the sensitive and complex home-buying or selling journey.

Now celebrating her 18th year as a Richmond real estate agent, Melissa has become a well-known career veteran in her own right, a consummate professional who continues to develop and draw upon the kind of deep community roots and connections she can use to help every kind of real-estate customer, from eager first-time homeowners to longtime area clients who have called upon her experience, knowledge and winning attitude again and again.
