Meet Melissa

REALTOR®

As a Rhode Island School of Design graduate, Melissa has a unique eye for aesthetics and detail. Over the years, she has purchased, renovated, and sold personal real estate. She currently manages her own portfolio of investment properties, most recently completing a seventeen-unit building in Northern Liberties. These projects have honed her ability to both design and manage construction as well as identify opportunities. Searching for properties, researching neighborhoods, and their amenities has always been a passion. Her hands-on experience across multiple facets of real estate gives her a unique perspective and understanding of the market.

Originally from and currently living in West Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, Melissa also resided in Graduate Hospital and Queen Village for over 20 years and has an intimate knowledge of Northwest Philadelphia, Center City, and many surrounding areas. You will often find her volunteering at Germantown Friends School, where she is also a parent. She also serves on the Board of the Allens Lane Art Center. 

Prior to joining the team as an agent, Melissa worked with the Karrie Gavin Group as a client. She and her husband purchased their mid-century modern home on the edge of the Wissahickon in West Mt. Airy, and the process of buying, fully redesigning, and renovating their home further developed her passion for real estate. Her positive experience with Karrie Gavin and with Elfant Wissahickon Realtors® made them the obvious choice to align with when she decided to get into the business.

Whether you are buying, selling, or investing, Melissa has the experience and resources to help you through the entire process. Collaborating, growing to understand her clients' needs, and giving back to her community are always her top priorities!
