Melissa Brown's Expertise
I am a full-time Realtor specializing in listing and selling properties in Charlotte, NC, particularly in the South Charlotte and Southeast Charlotte areas, which include Matthews, Pineville,
and Ballantyne. I also have extensive knowledge of neighboring Union County, including Marvin, Weddington, Waxhaw and Indian Trail. I am also licensed in South Carolina, which is just minutes away from Charlotte!
I ventured into real estate because I love looking at houses and I enjoy meeting new people! Whether it's putting together a creative and extensive marketing plan for my sellers, or exploring all of Charlotte's wonderful neighborhoods and searching for the perfect home with my buyers, I am thrilled to help friends and families move into new homes.
My business motto is the Golden Rule, pure and simple. You will find that I go the extra nine yards for my clients and that I don't stop working until my clients are satisfied. Here are some of the ways I run my business:
My Services For Sellers:
- Comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) so that you can make an informed decision on pricing hour home so that it will sell for the most amount of money in the shortest period possible in your neighborhood market.
- Staging! A clean, uncluttered and properly staged home will allow buyers to see themselves in the home and make that emotional connection that leads to a purchase decision. In today's market, homes must be staged to stand out among the competition!

- When time allows, I will preview listings to determine if they meet your criteria and would be a good fit
- For out-of-towners, I will preview homes and send pictures
- Comprehensive comparative market analyses on any homes you are considering to help you determine a fair offering price

Read What People Are Saying About Melissa Brown
"Thank you for helping me successfully sell my house during this difficult market AND find a new house! You are the reason the whole process was smooth and successful. I have not been involved in selling a house in several years, and I was overwhelmed with how complicated the process had become. The amount of time you spent helping me was invaluable. First, you helped me see that my home, if I wanted to be successful selling it, is not my home but a house that needs to be marketed. Because of your attention to detail and your incredible staging, the pictures that you took to display the house on the internet were amazing. The response was above and beyond my expectations. YOU sold my house in this difficult market in 45 days!!! That's amazing!!! Because of your determination, creativity, and 'get it done right attitude,' my house sold. I am so happy. Thank you, Melissa, for helping me move on with my life. Having you as my real estate agent, I felt like I had a partner, someone who was looking out for me during the process. Your dedication and big heart are what make you the success that you are." Martha Honnold
"As a first time home buyer my fiancé and I did not even know where to begin. We knew absolutely nothing about buying a house, and began looking for realtors on the internet to help with our search. This was a major decision in our lives, and it was very important to us that we found someone we were completely comfortable with. Our biggest fears were having a realtor who was too pushy or one who did not care about what we wanted and only cared about making the sale. From the moment we met Melissa all of our fears just disappeared. From the first second we met, we felt completely at ease and knew that she would be the right person to help us to find our first home.Throughout the process I can honestly say that we never felt that we were Melissa’s clients, but rather Melissa’s friends. Melissa went above and beyond the call of duty, always being there to answer any question we may have had or just to talk things out. Although I know that she had other clients, never once did we feel that she had anyone else but us. Besides her personal approach, Melissa was also extremely knowledgeable about the area. This was also something that was extremely important to us, because although we lived here for a year we were still not completely familiar with the surrounding areas. <!--StartFragment-->Although buying house is an important life changing moment for anyone, I felt that this was extremely true for us since it was our first home. We are so happy to have met Melissa and have had her help us through this amazing journey. I could not have imagined going through this with anyone else, and have walked away from this experience with not only a terrific realtor but a terrific friend."<!--EndFragment--> Inezmarie Graci and Brody Docar
"We have purchased 6 properties in the last 13 years and therefore have worked with a lot of Realtors. To date, Melissa Brown of Coldwell Banker United Realtors has been the best buyers agent with home we have worked. Melissa was very responsive and attentive to our wants and needs in purchasing our home. She was more than willing to run a rigorous schedule of showings as our timeframe was very short. She provided all research necessary for us to make a good decision on our purchase. In addition, she was a superb liaison with not only the seller's agent and the contractors selected by the seller to complete work on the house prior to closing, but also with the mortgage broker of our choice to help facilitate a closing within two weeks from contract. Even after the sale, Melissa followed up on all pending items until resolution. We consider ourselves lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Melissa, and we look forward to working with her again in the future." Dan and Margaret Bish
"I am writing to share with you our great appreciation for the professional way in which Melissa Brown handled the sale of our home. As a seller trying to sell from out of state, I truly discovered how important a real estate agent becomes, and Melissa made the process as hassle free as possible. Melissa's willingness to ensure our house was in top showing condition at all times was more than we could ever expect from an agent. She routinely visited our home to ensure any necessary maintenance was taken care of, much of which she did herself. She aggressively marketed our home, both online and with printed handouts, which I believe was essential to our sale. Because of Melissa's hard work, we were able to sell our home in a stressed market for a realistic price in reasonable time. I would recommend Melissa to anyone, not only for her knowledge of the market, but her customer service and having her clients' best interest at heart truly made her a great agent to work with throughout the entire process." Brian and Destiny Vasbinder
"We are writing to express our gratitude and appreciation for our listing agent, Melissa Brown, who got our house sold when we thought no one could! With the housing crisis, and a six foreclosures in our neighborhood, we were worried about whether our home would sell. This was an investment property for us, and the renter had done a lot of damage. Melissa gave us great advice on what we need to do to make our home marketable. She produced amazing flyers and brochures that made our house stand out. We are so happy with her level of service, and we will gladly recommend her to anyone who needs to sell their home. She's one of the most hard-working and positive professionals we have ever met!" Mary and Tony Guiliano
