Melanie believes a mortgage should start with listening. Before talking about loan programs or numbers, she wants to understand the person sitting across from her — what they're hoping for, what matters most to them, and where they want to go.

With more than 16 years of experience in banking and mortgage lending, along with a background in education, teaching has naturally become a big part of the way Melanie serves her clients. She loves taking something that can feel complicated and making it easier to understand, so her clients feel confident in the decisions they're making. For Melanie, it's not just about finding a mortgage that works today — it's about looking at the bigger picture and helping families understand how homeownership can be part of building long-term stability and wealth.

Melanie works with buyers through a variety of financing options, including Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, down payment assistance programs, and manufactured home financing. She especially loves helping first-time buyers and clients who may have been told “no” somewhere else take another look at what's possible.

Melanie and her husband, Kevin, have called Lake Wylie home since 2013, where they've raised their family and built amazing friendships within the community.  Outside of mortgages, Melanie loves traveling with her family, volunteering in the community and at church, crafting with friends, reading a good book, and occasionally joining Kevin for a round of golf.

Faith, family, and serving others are at the heart of who Melanie is — both personally and professionally. She considers it a privilege when a family or Realtor trusts her to be part of their journey, and her goal is always the same: listen well, educate honestly, and make sure the people she serves feel genuinely cared for from the first conversation to long after closing day.
