Melissa exemplifies an unwavering commitment to providing top-notch client service. Her dedication to mastering her craft is evident through her deep understanding of the market, honed analytical skills, and the development of trusting relationships with her clients.
After graduating from Colgate University in 2005, Melissa embarked on her career in Manhattan as a client relationship associate for the private wealth management group at the former US Trust Company. In this role, she became a trusted liaison between clients, their family offices, and all other parties involved in their daily lives. Her impeccable organizational skills allowed her to anticipate and meet their intricate needs effectively. During this period, she also gained exposure to various investment facets, developing a particular interest in her clients' real estate acquisitions.
Having a family passion for real estate, Melissa decided to transition into the Manhattan market. She joined NYC's first certified eco-broker, where she assumed responsibility for scheduling, conducting showings, and crafting team and property marketing strategies. Through this experience, she acquired valuable insights into the green building movement in NYC. Melissa's involvement in notable green new developments, such as The Riverhouse in Battery Park City, further fueled her passion for the field.
To expand her expertise, Melissa joined Douglas Elliman's New Development team, where she worked on-site at 254 Park Avenue South. Her time there was marked by mastering the intricate processes of new developments. She then joined the Anderson-Ehrmann Team, one of Douglas Elliman's top ranked teams, and subsequently took part in relaunching The Beekman Residences project in downtown Manhattan.
After a break to raise her two children, Melissa returned to the real estate industry, now with Douglas Elliman in New Jersey. She also remains actively involved in her family's real estate development business. Melissa's core values of honesty and integrity continue to guide her, and she consistently strives for perfection, both for herself and her team, to ensure the best outcomes for her clients.
