Melissa is originally from Jonesboro, but now resides in Benton. She has been married to the love of her life, Steve, for 12 years and they have an 8 year old son, Ashton. Melissa entered the title industry in 1998 as a receptionist, and worked her way through all departments before deciding that closing was her passion. Her experience has given her a vast knowledge of the industry and an upper hand in closings, which has been her focus for the last 10 years. She is one of our veteran licensed title agents, having been licensed since 2002. When she isn’t working or chasing her son around, she enjoys showcasing her creativity through painting and cake decorating.
