Melissa started in the Property Management industry in 2007 and worked for one of the largest REITS (Real Estate Investment Trust,) Home Properties. Over the last decade, she has shown her skills in the commercial and residential market property management fields.

I was inspired to get my real estate salesperson license after a disappointing experience as a buyer. As a result, I pride myself in providing expert service and a drama-free, positive experience. I got my start at Coldwell Banker in Winchester in 2001, and I worked for Charles Associates in Cambridge from 2008 until I joined Charles River Properties in 2020. Outside of real estate, I write memoirs for clients and features for The Boston Globe. Although research has shown that moving is one of the most stressful life events, the process of buying and selling real estate can be conducted smoothly when you create the right team. I look forward to working together!
