Melanie Gates, CRS, GRI

About Us:

I am a full service real estate agent ready to assist you in every aspect of the home buying or selling process. My specialty is the Goldsboro, Seymour Johnson AFB, Pikeville, and LaGrange areas, but I am also an integral part of my companys' Relocation team which provides relocation services to families moving across the state and around the country.

I am more than just your average real estate agent. Over the years, I have continued my real estate education to levels that most agents don't take the time to accomplish. So in addition to just merely holding a real estate license, I am also recognized on a National level as a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS). Only 5% of the nation's most successful agents hold this designation and it is a privilege to be awarded with this certification.

In addition, I am a graduate of the Realtor Institute (GRI). The Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) symbol is the mark of a real estate professional who has made the commitment to provide a high level of professional services by securing a strong educational foundation. REALTORS® with the GRI designation are highly trained in many areas of real estate to better serve and protect their clients.

On a personal level, I am the spouse of a recently retired Air Force member, I have "been there and done that" with regards to moving. I know first hand the struggles that every family member goes through as moving day approaches. Through my own experiences, you get the best representation possible because very simply, I know exactly what you're going through.

Originally from the Goldsboro area, I have a strong background in sales and marketing. My local expertise along with my extensive real estate experience works to benefit you whether you are serious about buying or selling a home at this time, or are a returning client checking out the many homeowner resources I offer.

I consider the Goldsboro community an excellent place to reside and would love to share with you my enthusiasm for the many neighborhoods that encompass it. I pride myself on providing unparalleled service and look forward to developing a long-term relationship with you. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss how I can best assist you with your real estate needs.

Areas of Expertise

With my educational background, my expertise covers a full range of buyers and sellers. From first time home buyers to experienced home buyers and sellers, you can be assured of a stress-free real estate transaction. Stick with an agent like me who has a proven track record instead of entrusting your real estate purchase or sale to a brand new or inexperienced agent who is cutting their teeth on your transaction. You want and need someone who has been around the block a couple of times to look after your best interest.

From inside Goldsboro's city limits to the many small towns which surround our city, I am very familiar with the many subdivisions and neighborhoods that appeal to every price range. There's a home for every buyer and a buyer for every home. I do not, however, delineate my business by price range, preferring to treat each client as though they are my only client!

As a Buyer, I look forward to helping you select the home of your dreams by taking the time to listen to your needs and desires. I can provide you with details on your many financing options and the special programs that will allow you as the Buyer to get the most house for your money.

As a Seller, my real estate expertise and many effective marketing programs will give you the exposure and edge on the market you need to sell your home quickly and for top dollar.

Returning clients have access to the many valuable resources I provide. Whenever they are in need of painters, electricians, plumbers, etc., they know that they can call on me for only the best in their field who recognize that only their best work at a good price earns them continued business referrals from this very successful Realtor.

Testimonials

The D. Gibbs Family of Greenville, NC - "Melanie is an experienced agent whose love of her job is obvious. She initially referred us out to an agent who wouldn't/couldn't keep up with us. After complaining to her, she fired the other agent for us and followed us herself for just under a year before we were ready to make the move. Her dedication to assisting us in finding a home was outstanding, the steady flow of information was much appreciated. Would recommend her to anyone....outstanding job!"

Matt B. - "I've used Melanie now for not just one but two transactions...one as a buyer and one as a seller. Her knowledge of the Goldsboro real estate market is extensive, she has a great sense of humor, and I'd recommend her highly to anyone."
