I was born and bred in Surrey, England and have lived in the St. Louis area since 1992.
I bring to my Real Estate career experiences from an extensive 17year background in Corporate and Social event planning, I have designed and produced events for companies large and small both in St. Louis and across the US.
I believe the same skills are used in every career, but many components of purchasing and selling a property are much like a large event. Managing multiple vendors on a tight time line and being very flexible!
My prior experience, attention to detail and overall grasp of the big picture, has been very beneficial to my clients. I am dedicated very determined, have an easy-going nature and always provide excellent customer service.
I love gardening and fresh flowers. My free time is spent in my own garden, and my passion for fresh flowers started early in my career in London. I provided floral arrangements at Chanel and Hermes and the weekly fresh flower arrangements at Kensington Palace.
I love to work with first time home buyers taking them through the process from start to finish!
Testimonials
"I can't say enough about Melissa....She was thoughtful and listened to me but was also great at offering her opinions and helping me to see other viable avenues. I would not be in my new home without her. Anyone would be lucky to have Melissa in their corner!!"
-Ben H, Client
"I’m a picky person, but Melissa didn’t care how often I called her or how many houses we went to see. She knew that I had to have the perfect house for me. She was always there when I called, always on time, and genuinely cared about representing me. She’s sweet, attentive, and caring. I ended up finding the home of my dreams and Melissa helped me through the whole thing."
-Tory N, Client
"We started the process 9-months before purchase, letting Melissa know we would not be ready until the end of the year. She kept in contact without being pushy. When we were ready she sent us many homes within our budget and once we found what we were looking for, she took it from there. This is our first home, so we had many questions and worries. She was always available for us to contact day or night, weekday or weekend. If she didn't have the answer, she found it quickly, she never left us wondering. She made this purchase so easy and we were not worried that we would forget something, as she seemed to know what we were thinking. We signed during the pandemic and she even watched our 3-year-old so we could pay attention to what we were signing. If we ever purchase again, we will be calling Melissa."
-Michele Y, Client
"Melissa is excellent in her work. In both buying and selling homes I wouldn’t consider working with anyone else. She took time to understand what my husband and I wanted in a house and we had different priorities. She found the PERFECT home for our family. She was available, knowledge and our advocate every step of the way. I felt so confident going through this process knowing that Melissa was in our corner."

Coldwell Banker Realty - Gundaker
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work
with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that
matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home,
show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle
all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home
the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar.
Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be
the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
