About
As a dedicated full-time real estate professional serving Northwest Louisiana since 2017, I specialize in helping clients buy and sell homes throughout Caddo and Bossier Parishes. With certifications as a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) and a Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), I bring specialized expertise to every transaction, ensuring my clients receive top-notch service tailored to their unique needs.

Whether you're relocating, upgrading, or investing, I provide personalized guidance and practical insights to make your real estate journey seamless and stress-free. My approachable, knowledgeable style ensures clients feel confident and supported every step of the way.

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy creating content for my YouTube channel, "Moving to Shreveport - Bossier - Barksdale," where I share valuable insights about living in the Shreveport-Bossier area and the real estate process. I’m passionate about showcasing everything Northwest Louisiana has to offer.

Our last broker had been a nightmare. We knew Melanie’s professional attitude and wanted to have that brought into our experience

We had tried to sell the house for a year before Melanie. She had us an offer in 3 days!

This was our first time buying a home. We are both queer women serving in the US Air Force and on assignments in different locations. So our #1 priority was to find a realtor who was familiar with our situation but also someone we could relate to and would understand our family. Melanie VanBuskirk met every requirement we were looking for in a realtor and so much more. She was patient with our crazy schedules and different timezones, really listened to and understood what we wanted throughout the process and always fought for our best interest. She exudes such fierceness, professionalism, and knowledge in everything she does. No detail was missed and we appreciated her dedication along the way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, no hesitation!

Melanie really went above and beyond for me, as I am currently located in Europe. She had to handle everything on my behalf. I am very thankful for all of her hard work.

I didn't really do anything, she did it all..She put my house on every social media, did open house, a video walk thru and went and retook pics as well.she even helped put the trim on a floor! She said it would help sell it and it did...Yes, she actually did the trim....

Melanie was very professional and experienced in the selling of my home. I would recommend her
to friends and family or anyone interested in buying or selling property.

Alex Meza

This is the second house we buy in Shreveport. We trust Melanie so much she is our only choice to
represent us. She goes above and beyond any expectations. Working with Melanie is always a joy
knowing that she is working on our best interest. If and when we decide to purchase another house
in Shreveport Melanie will be our agent and broker. Anyone would greatly benefit from her
expertise and professionalism.
