Where standout homes, get standout results. 

From smart pricing to scroll-stopping marketing, i’ll position your home to shine brighter than the rest.

THE MODERN AGENT

THE MODERN AGENT

Today’s buyers don’t fall in love with a home by accident — they fall in love because the marketing pulled them in, connected with them, and made them want to see more.

I believe every listing deserves that level of intention.

That’s why I approach selling with fresh strategy, creative storytelling, and the kind of marketing that actually stops people mid-scroll. It’s a step above the old way of doing things… and it makes a real difference in your results.

But even an incredibly marketed home needs a smart price to succeed

Here's how I build your pricing strategy from day one.

1. I Start with real data, not guesswork.

2. I Position the home to compete — not sit.

3. Adjust if needed, before it works against you.

4. Protect your bottom line.

I look at hyper-local comps, current buyer demand, and what’s actually moving in your price range right now.

Every recommendation I make has one goal: to get you the strongest possible outcome while keeping your process smooth, informed, and grounded in strategy.

Instead of letting your home go stale, I help you make smart, timely adjustments that keep your listing competitive and appealing.

A great price gives your home momentum right from day one. More eyes, more showings, more offers.

-Katherine

"Melanie is an amazing friend and such a knowledgeable realtor. I was so happy to use her to help us sell our home. Not only was she quick with the process of getting our home ready to sell— but she then got a contract on our home within SIX DAYS. She is a great negotiator and always had answers for us. She is familiar with everything involving the selling process. I wouldn’t have wanted this any other way!! I would (and have!) recommend Melanie to anyone buying, selling, or renting. Thank you for making this could-be stressful process stress free."

"Thank you for making this could-be stressful process stress-free."

-Innovative Properties LLC

"very dedicated to getting our property sold" 

"Me and my partner in Florida recently started investing in real estate and decided to invest in Eastern North Carolina after meeting with Melanie. She spoke to us about how great the market was there for investors and showed us examples of actual properties that sold in the past few months. She took her time looking for a property in a good neighborhood that would be worth our investment and would make us the return we were looking for. She found us the ideal property and after renovations, she was able to sell it in just 6 DAYS!!! She was very professional, always made herself available and was very dedicated to getting our property sold. I HIGHLY recommend her both as a buyer agent and a listing agent!

-André

"Best Realtor in NC! Made the sale of my home very easy and happily answered all our questions. Really cares about her clients and even sent us a Christmas Card. Excellent work and would recommend for any first time buyers or sellers!"
