Northern Virginia Real Estate Expert

MOVE WITH MELISSA

FINDING YOUR DREAM HOME CAN BECOME A REALITY

I'm looking to Buy I'm Looking To Sell

Welcome! I'm so glad you've landed here.

Whether you're planning to buy or sell a home, just exploring ideas, or getting to know the DC area, I'd love to become a go-to resource for you. I've lived in Northern Virginia for more than thirty years (sheesh--how in the world can that be?!) and I'd love to answer any questions you may have, provide you with local neighborhood or market data, or chat about your goals concerning home ownership. 
 

For most people, their home is likely their most valuable material asset, and decisions concerning making a purchase, when to sell a home, or whether to invest in an income-producing property, among other things, are all matters about which I can expertly advise you.

 

I LOVE WHAT I DO. 

I am always learning and continuing to develop expertise in my industry, and I'm always seeking to create new opportunities for building wealth--both personally and for my clients. I believe that real estate is the single best place to invest your money, and I'd love to share with you why that is.
 
But most importantly, I'd love to learn about you, your priorities, and how I might assist you. I look forward to connecting!

Both personally and professionally I remain committed to representing my town and my industry with honor and integrity.
