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.

I discovered Melanie by browsing YouTube and came across her realtor videos. I reached out to her, and she kept me updated with trends and even emailed me a weekly customized listing of the area. Her knowledge and expertise is why I chose her during my homebuying needs.

Top Notch! Melanie made sure she was accessible at all times. In addition, she was very respectful. What I most appreciated by the experience is that Melanie was very knowledgeable of the area, and she made me feel like I was a priority.

We use Melanie because she responds quickly to our request. She takes time to explain what needs to happen next.

We are very happy with Melanie, Century 31 Elite, and our purchase.

Melanie is simply amazing! We are so happy to have her help us with our real estate needs.

We had worked with Melanie earlier in 2022 and were very pleased with the whole experience. Melanie is very easy to work with and she is always happy to answer any questions we may have. She seems to know what we are looking for in the housing market and she always delivers! As long as we are all here in this area, Melanie will always be our "Go To" with real estate.

The first time I bought a home in Shreveport/Bossier City area I searched high and low for someone who could understand me as a human being. I'm a non-binary, alternative, queer individual and I wanted someone who could reflect some, if not all, of those qualities. I was new to the area, I had never lived in the South and I was looking to find someone I could trust and could understand me at my core. Not only did I find that in Melanie, I realized she is an amazing human being, not to mention a killer realtor. So, when I sold my house and was looking to by another one, I immediately turned to Melanie and asked if she would be my realtor for the second time! Now I can confidently say I have the best realtor in town, as well as an amazing friend. She was prompt, always available (like does this woman ever sleep?!?), wicked organized and always very professional. She went above and beyond what I ever expected out of a realtor, not once, but twice, showing her intense dedication and consistency. 10/10 would recommend!
