Melanie Sommers

Melanie considers herself to be an agent whose experience in the real estate profession is only matched by the unparalleled service she provides to her clients. With intimate knowledge of the local markets in Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Venice, Marina del Rey, Westwood and surrounding areas, she works tirelessly to help buyers and sellers realize their real estate dreams.

Born and raised in Brentwood, she currently lives in Santa Monica where she and her husband are raising their daughter. Being a rare native Southern Californian gives her a unique understanding of the area, including school systems, the wide variety of neighborhoods, where to shop, how to navigate the city and so much more. She is an expert on the Westside as well as the surrounding cities.

Melanie has established a solid reputation among both clients and fellow real estate agents for personal service, powerful marketing strategies, strong negotiating skills, and record breaking sales since becoming a REALTOR®. Her fun loving, energetic approach to service is infectious, and has been a driving force behind her success. She believes building strong relationships and good communication with clients and other agents keeps her real estate transactions positive and reduces the stress of the escrow process for everyone involved.

The most rewarding thing about this business for her is to stay in contact with past clients. She takes pride in the fact that the majority of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals. She loves when clients call to tell her what they're doing with their properties, or because they have outgrown their home and are ready for the next one. This kind of on-going relationship is not only rewarding, but fuels her passion for real estate.

She maintains a vigilant watch on the real estate market, keeping an eye on the ever changing real estate trends in order to educate clients and the community on what to expect as the market fluctuates from day to day, week to week, year to year.

Melanie brings this educated real estate expertise into play as a listing agent with her extensive marketing plans, giving homeowners the opportunity to get the maximum value for their property. With buyers, be it their first time in the market or seasoned veterans, she searches until she finds the perfect property. She guides them through the negotiation process, securing the best possible price and terms. Nothing satisfies her more than seeing the smiles that come with a successful sale or purchase.
