As a full-time licensed REALTOR® since 2003, I have the experience to evaluate the market and guide you through the home buying or selling process. In those decades, I have earned numerous awards and certifications and helped clients both buy and sell property.


Selecting a professional is one of the most important decisions you will make in achieving your home buying or selling goals. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned home seller - having the right agent committed to your best interests is critical. I will assist you in determining an appropriate market valuation, negotiate contracts and manage all details to achieve a successful closing. My superior research, marketing and positioning plans are the keys to your success.  If you currently have no plans to buy or sell real estate, let me help you in planning ahead for achieving your lifestyle goals.  I believe that real estate can be a cornerstone of building wealth and happiness and deserves the careful attention and planning of any other life decision, from graduation, to marriage, to child-rearing, and to and through retirement. The choices you make are essentially investments in your family's and your future.


I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and have a love for Texas and Louisiana.  I thrive on the challenges of the profession and enjoy helping clients navigate their home-buying and selling journeys. The welfare of my clients is my top priority, and I understand the importance of my role in helping them through one of the most important decisions of their lives. Expect honesty, knowledge, enthusiasm, and my dedication to satisfaction today, tomorrow, and always.

I was a first time buyer, and now, proud to say a first time homeowner, thanks to Melinda. I was new to this process and she explained why a buyer needs an agent - to protect your interests, negotiating, and her expertise in the area. I was not from Shreveport and moving from Texas - I knew nothing. Being from out of town, when I came to visit we had 20-30 homes to knock out in a few days. I would fall in love with a home and she would point out what I should be concerned about. Whether it being a hill in the backyard I thought was nice and reminding me that when it rains hard it might be an issue, to pointing out things I couldn’t see, roofs, a ceiling that showed signs of leaking, foundation concerns, little things that a buyer can’t see with the naked eye, but because of her expertise and over 2 decades in realty, I ended up with a wonderful property that feels like it was customized for me. Oh, and let me mention her patience and thoughtfulness. Her communication is impeccable, I’m not sure when she sleeps because she was so responsive when I would ask about properties I’d seen on Zillow or ask questions about anything. Also the education and coaching. She gave me reminders and showed me so many local resources. Overall, it was a great experience and if ever I sell or know someone who’s looking for a REALTOR® that will work tirelessly for them whatever the budget, she will treat you like you’re buying a million dollar home. She told me when we were having a hiccup in process due to something on my end, “People matter, things don’t”. She really cares and that’s why she is so good at this. I couldn’t be happier with my new home and the experience she gave me. I will miss touring strangers homes with her!

"I don't know how she managed to keep my wife sane and happy through this process but she did and that is no small feat. She also did a wonderful job at keeping us up to speed on the process throughout our buying experience. We highly recommend her to any one looking to buy or sell a home"

"Melinda was so amazing, I didn't just get the best realtor I could have asked for I got a friend. She worked herself so hard, and I ended up with the best new home for me and my family."
