As the owner of two Re/Max franchises and 212 Degrees Realty, LLC, Melanie’s expertise has given the markets in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, highly trained and committed Realtors® to help them experience success in the home buying and selling process.

As an avid learner, education is very important to Melanie and she views it as a source of growth that is the catalyst for bringing out tremendous potential. She’s a graduate of Florida A&M University, holding a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice and Master’s Degree in Public Administration. In addition, she graduated from the Maryland Association of Realtors Leadership Academy in 2005.

Some of Melanie’s most special professional moments come from the recognition she has earned, and include:

• Becoming the first woman and youngest Executive Director of the Florida Conference of Black Legislators, where she had the opportunity to work on significant legislative policies to include the introduction and passage of the Rosewood Bill in 1994, which awarded the descendants from Rosewood, FL over 3 million dollars in reparations.
• Founding Esther’s Closet in 2011, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to empowering, equipping, and edifying young women through providing clothes, counsel, and commitment.

Melanie is also a John C. Maxwell Certified Coach, Teacher, and Speaker who is committed to working with a wide variety of women as they transition into new careers, helping them to reach their fullest potentials. A common thread in her message to both clients and audiences is that “the fortune is in the follow-up”. When you care about results and put people first, following up is a natural process that needs to take place. This is a part of her heart, as well as her life’s mission.

When Melanie gets those rare, precious moments of “me time”, she enjoys cozying up to a good book, shopping, and giving herself a little spa rejuvenation—an amazing way to make sure she remains at her best. She’s also eternally grateful to her husband Jay, who has always had the strength to allow her to shine and flourish, being a true partner and friend along the way. It’s also exciting for Melanie to watch their three sons grow into that type of man.
