Meet Melissa
Returning to real estate sales as a broker-associate — with incredible top-producing agents at Village Associates — feels like coming home.
Over a 16-year career, I've led a sales team of 160+ agents and generated over $1.1 billion in sales volume as a managing broker, navigating thousands of transactions with care and strategy. But through it all, my heart has always been in the personal side of this work: guiding friends, neighbors, and clients through one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
For nearly a decade, Lamorinda has been home to my family and me. I've experienced firsthand the warmth of its neighborhoods, the exceptional schools, and the deep sense of belonging that makes this community so special. This next chapter is about giving back to it.
My path to real estate was anything but conventional. I began my career in the world of antiques and decorative arts in London, later working as a Furniture & Decorative Arts Specialist in the New York auction industry. That background gave me a trained eye for detail, craftsmanship, and history — one I carry into every property I represent today.
Beyond real estate, my passions include art history, historic preservation, and horticulture. I've spent years volunteering as a docent at Filoli Historic House & Garden, and that connection to place and beauty informs everything I do.
I'd love to connect — whether you have questions about the Lamorinda market or are just getting started on your real estate journey.
