Areas of Expertise
I began my real estate career at the age of 8 when my mother became a top-producing agent in the Philadelphia area. As a child in a real estate family, I became hooked on attending open houses, helping Mom write creative ad copy and keeping track of her many transactions. I spent countless hours helping her organize and prioritize her busy client base. After graduating from college, I secured my real estate license and dove into real estate at 21 years old, with Mom as a dynamic and wonderful mentor. In my 27 years in the business, I have been an Agent, a Manager, and a Regional Manager for large real estate companies in Connecticut. I have also added to the depth of my experience by acquiring real estate companies and being a Senior Vice President of Corporate Services which included Corporate Relocation, an Internet Division and Home Services Division. This background gives me a broad understanding and experience of all of the facets of real estate and what is important for our agents to continue to manage and grow their business.
As the Leader of our incredible Westport, Connecticut office, I create a positive, productive and professional team for my agents to thrive. I maintain personal connections with my agents by getting to know them and working with them to develop their skill set and sales style. I meet with my team continually, as well as coaching them to establish and reach their goals. This ensures they are utilizing all of the advantages of the company and maximizing their own skills. I pay personal attention to my agents by getting acclimated quickly to capitalize on the strengths and past successes.
One of the business beliefs I have is to do what I ask of my agents. I also am responsible for the Internet Strategy within our operations at Prudential CT Realty. With this commitment to understanding and using cutting-edge technology, I can appropriately counsel and lead my team and the company on the latest technology. My numerous websites, and multiple blogs and understanding of XHTML (and website design) are indication of my investment in and enthusiasm for technology. I continue to assist our Office Leaders and agents in website development, search engine maximization, online promotion.
My agents are positively influenced by my personal philosophy of having a positive and proactive approach to my business and my life. My approach with my agents is based in my knowledge, love of the business and my ability to apply creative and innovative ideas regardless of the challenges in the market.

"Working with Melissa Riley as my manager is an honor and a privilege. First, she creates a positive energy and a professional environment...it is just great to work in the Fairfield Office. She truly cares about each individual, and not only their business success but their personal successes as well. Melissa knows the real estate business and knows it thoroughly, an attribute not as common among real estate managers as one might think! She also knows the business world.......innovation, motivation, team building, marketing, and most importantly, striving and laughing. With 25+ years of experience in Real Estate, I consider myself fortunate to be a member of her team. What good fortune that our paths finally crossed! (Thank you, Peter!)" Dian Vince, Sales Executive, Fairfield Prudential Connecticut Realty
"Melissa's experience and enthusiasm in real estate should be commended. She is a dynamite Office Leader who brings a wealth of knowledge to the office. She shares her insight both on an individual support level and with very informative sales meetings. Melissa makes our office environment a very pleasant and productive place to work. We have the best agents which is a tribute to Melissa's recruitment of fine agents. It is imperative in this industry to have an Office Leader that you can trust to be there for you in those more difficult transactions. I have worked with many managers in my 10 years in real estate and I can honestly say that "Melissa should be cloned" so other offices could benefit as we have!"
