I grew up in St Petersburg, Florida and love this community. I received my Florida Real Estate License in 1976, so I have spent over 4 decades helping my clients Buy and Sell real estate in Pinellas County, consisting of St Petersburg and surrounding areas including the Gulf Beaches. I use a professional approach with a personal touch. I truly listen to my clients and treat them as if they're my own family. Most of the time we become good friends. I understand that selling and buying a home can be stressful and a demanding process, and my goal is to make the experience positive and rewarding. I can promise my clients that I will be honest and truthful with them, pointing out pros and cons so when they make a decision, they feel confident about their choice. My expertise and wisdom from years of selling real estate is imparted on my clients. I work with RE/MAX agents across the United States and Canada, as well as many other parts of the world, should relocation be part of your plan. I am a self-proclaimed "real estate junkie," and thrive on meeting the needs of my clients, helping them to reach their real estate goals. My professionalism and experience will keep a transaction together regardless of the troubles that may arise and I prioritize helping my clients first. I am available 24/7. Over the course of my career, I have been consistently recognized for my dedication, guidance, passion, commitment, and enthusiasm to real estate. My hobbies are camping, win (LOL), and fishing. I once caught a 357lb Black Marlin in Mexico. My passion is children, and I donate a portion of every commission to Children's Miracle Network which benefits our local Johns Hopkins Pediatric Hospital in St Petersburg, FL. - Melissa Yardy, Real Estate Consultant

"I had the great pleasure of working with Melissa over the last 2 months. I chose her after telephone interviews with 4 realtors. She really listened to me and addressed my special situation. I live out of town and am a caregiver. As we proceeded to try to sell a home I had inherited - she did extensive research and gave me easy to understand reports based on that research. We agreed on a plan - and she had offers for me within days. She was even able to convince the buyer to pay for a mobile notary to come to my home. Melissa returned phone calls promptly, and was always pleasant and cheerful. Who knew selling a home could be a positive experience. I will recommend Melissa without reservation - she is just great at her job - I appreciate everything, Melissa!!!!" - Susan Gamble, verified by RateMyAgent
