Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, I worked in numerous areas of my family’s business. It was here I learned the skills of understanding and fulfilling customer expectations, fair and successful negotiations and perhaps most importantly closing deals to the satisfaction of both parties. As an integral part of the family financial growth strategy, we bought and sold many homes and properties and continue to do so to this day. One of those properties was located here in Tampa and that is what brought me to Florida, my forever home of 20+ years.

I obtained my 4-year degree in Marketing from the University of South Florida. Upon graduation I was recruited by a semiconductor manufacturing Rep firm where I was responsible for inside sales, Partner support and sales fulfillment. Our customers such as Jabil Circuits in St. Petersburg, a multi-billion dollar contract manufacturer, required an extremely high level of support and accuracy and this is where I learned that detail matters.

Taking a break from the business world to raise a family, I now live in South Tampa with my daughter, Parker 17 and my son, Nate 21 who is attending FSU. I’m now fully engaged in the luxury real estate market in South Tampa where I reside. Over the past 20 years living in the city I love; I have been involved in a multitude of residential real estate transactions having bought and sold homes in 6 different areas in Tampa bay. I have extensive knowledge in every aspect of real estate allowing me to be your best guide through one of the most important decisions you will make. I truly enjoy developing friendships with my clients which affords us the ability to make the experience a true pleasure. Having staged, decorated, bought and sold so many homes, I can quickly assess the needs of a particular property and understand how to present it at the highest level to meet your goals. Similarly, if you are looking for a new home, my experience in residential home quality is absolutely a value add to your home buying decision. I strongly believe your home is the core of who you are. My vast knowledge through 20 years of personal home buying experience has provided me with a unique ability to find and identify what will make a house your next home.

Happy Clients.

"We worked with Melanie and all I can say is WOW. She was amazing from the start. She was very personable, professional and very good at what she does. She set great and realistic expectations so we knew what to expect. She was patient and walked us through each step of the process and even helped us find an amazing lender which got our loan done from start to finish faster than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend her to anyone buying a home and will be using her for our future home purchases in a few years."

David & Brandie G.

"I cannot say enough good things about Melanie. She knew the Tampa area very well and helped us find areas to look at based on our needs/requests. Melanie always fought for us and tried to get us the best deal possible. Melanie even stayed for our home inspection since we could not be there. Melanie is THE BEST! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking."

Logan & Alicia B.

"Melanie is a professional and knows her job inside and out. Responsive, knowledgeable about the building process, schools, neighborhoods and even knowing the floor plans that work for families! Melanie single handedly worked with us and for us every step of the way. Our process took 20 months until closing. She was always there with an answer for the simplest question and for the “OMG WHAT DO WE DO” question! I recommend her on the highest level for all of your real estate needs, especially building a new home! We feel that Melanie is actually family to us at the end of our adventure! Let Melanie guide you through it!"

James W.

"We are a military Veteran family and have moved quite a bit. Melanie is the best of the best. In this insane market, the combination of her expertise, professionalism and personality secured us our dream home. Even the listing agent said our offer presentation was the best she has ever seen. We are fortunate to have Melanie represent us and will be raving about her to everyone we know who is buying or selling in the Tampa Bay Area."

Tracy C.

"Melanie is one of the premier REALTORS® in the Tampa Bay area. She represented us for 15 months throughout the new construction process and was instrumental in helping us avoid pitfalls, keeping the builder honest and getting our home completed. Not only does she have expertise in the real estate market, she knows construction and isn’t afraid to mix it up with builders and contractors who like to bend the truth and try to pass off sub par workmanship. Perhaps most importantly, she is a straight shooter, displays unflappable integrity and is a phenomenal person to get to know. Melanie has my highest recommendation."

Timothy B.

"We recently completed our home sale with Melanie. It was extremely satisfying. Now we completed a fabulous home purchase with her. All in all, we could not be more pleased with everything she did for us on both ends. We highly recommend Melanie to anyone. As she says “Melanie Loves Tampa”."

Jack & Nancy L.

"This is the 5th transaction I’ve done with Melanie in the past 6 years and she is diplomatic, knowledgeable, friendly, timely and delivers the VERY BEST experience possible. I would not trust anyone else with my real estate needs and recommend her to everyone I can! She’s the real deal and she’s an awesome partner!"

Yvonne M.

"Melanie is the most knowledgeable, responsive, professional and diligent REALTOR® we have ever worked with. She was in front of every detail and situation throughout the entire process. Buying a home is such a stressful anxiety-filled experience but Melanie made this process so much easier for us by always being available, answering questions, being proactive and just being there for us throughout the entire process."

Sean & Ann C.

"Melanie took the time to get to know us and provided invaluable advice as we searched for properties long distance and after our arrival in the area. Once we found the right place, she did an excellent job of representing us in a challenging negotiation with multiple competing offers. We truly could not have asked for a better real estate agent. Melanie is a true professional and we recommend her to anyone with a real estate need in the greater Tampa area!"

Bill M.

"Melanie was a pleasure to work with. She was very polite, courteous and professional. She was very responsive to our questions and shepherded us through the entire process of selling our house. She provided weekly progress reports, kept us well informed of showings and gave us techniques on how to sell our house. I will definitely recommend her to my friends and family."

Eugene & Ellia D.

"Melanie is a 10! I’m lucky I found her and she is my REALTOR®. Would highly recommend her. It’s more than buying a property with Melanie. It’s building a lifetime relationship. She cares for her clients."

Hala A.

"We have bought and sold 5-6 properties over the years and Melanie is by far the best REALTOR® we have ever worked with. We are fully convinced that we would not have found our new amazing home and closed this deal if we had ANY other REALTOR®. Melanie has all the qualities that you would look for in a real estate professional."

Daniel & Rebecca G.

"Michael and I had the pleasure of working with Melanie. She went above and beyond with helping us find a home. Throughout the process, she asked all of the right questions. When we found the house we bought, she was on top of everything. She got us the best deal, talked to the lender when needed and always followed up with everything. She is knowledgeable in her field! We cannot say enough good things about Melanie!"

Michael & Kristen F.

"This was my 3rd real estate transaction with Melanie and we are so fortunate to have her on our side. We knew Melanie’s expertise and decades of experience would be a huge advantage in this crazy market. She was able to guide us through the process quickly and seamlessly, while referring us to great vendors for our mortgage and inspection along the way. We couldn’t be happier and we will continue to recommend Melanie to anyone looking for property in Tampa Bay."

Joseph & Jennifer G.

"Melanie is the best of the best! It took 4 offers, but we wound up with the best possible house in the end. On the Sunday that our new house listed, Melanie was with friends watching the Bucs playoff game vs. KC. This game was a big deal in Tampa! Melanie saw that this house had just been listed minutes ago, contacted the agent to do an immediate showing, excused herself from the game and met us at the house 30 mins later. Melanie contacted the listing agent and within 6 hours after seeing the home, we were under contract! Melanie was easy to get in contact with. She kept us updated via phone or text. She is amazing! Thank you!"

Frank T.

"Melanie and her team proved to be really knowledgeable and professional. She was very helpful all the way through the process. We were out of the country buyers and she really won our trust. The entire process was very smooth and we are very happy we’ve chosen her as our REALTOR®."

Enyledia M.

"Melanie Atkinson was my agent. Calling her my “agent” does not describe what she did for me. She was professional, extremely responsive, supportive and honest. She had the perfect combination of toughness without being overbearing. I would not have made the closing date without her. She was there for me every step of the way."

Jose A.

"From the first moment I talked to Melanie, I felt the reassurance and confidence that I was in good hands. Purchasing a home while living 8 hours away was very stressful, but Melanie removed so much of that stress. Her knowledge, professionalism and attentiveness went well beyond that of the average professional. I would highly recommend Melanie!"
