About Melissa
Exposure to the business through her mother’s interest in design and her father’s careers in banking and building nurtured Melissa’s passion for real estate from a very early age. She knew she belonged in a career that combined her head for numbers and strong interpersonal skills. After graduating from Florida State University with degrees in business and economics, she worked for a company brokering commercial space and later added a focus in residential real estate.
A resident of Cumming, Georgia, for 32+ years, Melissa’s strong area network and ties to the community make her a sought-after resource for a wide variety of needs, including residential resale, land for investment and commercial purposes, second-home investments and more. From first-time homebuyers to those needing guidance on real estate investing, Melissa enjoys finding a way to meet their needs. Her patience, her warm, generous commitment to treating clients like family and her insightful negotiation skills ensure that their interests are always front and center. A strong leader with a proven record of creative, outside-the-box thinking, she excels at providing grounded, supportive feedback that helps clients work through the emotional impact of moving.
Giving back is a priority for Melissa, and she financially supports Family Promise, in addition to suicide prevention and cancer prevention causes. A devoted wife, mother of three married children and grandmother of seven grandchildren, Melissa treasures time with her family when she’s not working with clients. She and her husband are active study leaders at Browns Bridge Church, and she finds relaxation in cooking, bike riding and boating. Secretly, she would love to work in a bakery!

Melissa's Reviews

We are building contractors and have worked with many realtors over the years. I can honestly say Melissa was the best experience we have ever had with realtors. She is very helpful in answering any questions quickly and professionally. She definitely goes several steps further, above and beyond for a pleasurable buying/selling experience! She is a super hard worker! She is always just a phone call away when you have any questions/concerns. If we could choose ten stars for her, we would. You will not go wrong with Melissa Smith as your realtor.

Melissa is absolutely incredible. I am so thankful for her knowledge and expertise. She helped me find the perfect house that is in the perfect location all in record time. I could not be more thankful. Not only is she the most amazing real estate agent, but she is also kind, caring, and an incredible person. She made what is normally a stressful situation go by so smoothly and seamlessly. She’s the best!

In the time we have known Melissa we have found her to be very helpful, personable and at the same time very professional and knowledgeable. We would certainly recommend her to anyone needing the services of a realtor.
