From Hesston, Kansas to Kansas City real estate — values grounded in hard work, honesty, and community.
Real estate runs deep in Melanie’s family—she’s a third-generation agent who grew up watching her father (and his mother before him) help families find their place in the world. At just 28, Melanie began her own real estate career, and 20 years later she’s built a reputation as a trusted, detail-oriented agent who goes above and beyond for every client.
Her journey spans both the Phoenix Metropolitan area and Kansas City, giving her unique insight into different markets and how to navigate them through every high and low. During the housing crash, Melanie became an expert in short sales, guiding families through some of the toughest financial seasons with hope and perseverance. At the same time, she was balancing life as a devoted wife and raising four beautiful children—an experience that deepened her compassion, resilience, and ability to juggle challenges with grace.
Melanie has been married to her husband for 25 years, and together they’re raising four wonderful children. Their home is never dull thanks to four playful doodle dogs who are part of the family. When she’s not helping clients, you’ll find Melanie cheering on Kansas City sports teams, enjoying the local arts and food scene, or giving back to her community. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for a local nonprofit that provides youth sports programs, combining her love for service with her passion for helping kids thrive.
