A Real Estate Agent Who Gets You


Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling houses—it’s about finding a place where you truly belong. As an LGBTQ+ real estate agent, I know how important it is to feel safe, seen, and supported in your home search. I work with all clients, but I’m especially passionate about helping my fellow LGBTQ+ community members find spaces where they can live and thrive.

REVIEWS

Alex M

This is the second house we buy in Shreveport. We trust Melanie so much she is our only choice to represent us. She goes above and beyond any expectations. Working with Melanie is always a joy knowing that she is working on our best interest. If and when we decide to purchase another house in Shreveport Melanie will be our agent and broker. Anyone would greatly benefit from her expertise and professionalism. Thank you, Melanie.

I discovered Melanie by browsing YouTube and came across her realtor videos. I reached out to her, and she kept me updated with trends and even emailed me a weekly customized listing of the area. Her knowledge and expertise is why I chose her during my homebuying needs. Top Notch! Melanie made sure she was accessible at all times. In addition, she was very respectful. What I most appreciated by the experience is that Melanie was very knowledgeable of the area, and she made me feel like I was a priority.

The first time I bought a home in Shreveport/Bossier City area I searched high and low for someone who could understand me as a human being. I'm a non-binary, alternative, queer individual and I wanted someone who could reflect some, if not all, of those qualities. I was new to the area, I had never lived in the South and I was looking to find someone I could trust and could understand me at my core. Not only did I find that in Melanie, I realized she is an amazing human being, not to mention a killer realtor. So, when I sold my house and was looking to by another one, I immediately turned to Melanie and asked if she would be my realtor for the second time! Now I can confidently say I have the best realtor in town, as well as an amazing friend. She was prompt, always available (like does this woman ever sleep?!?), wicked organized and always very professional. She went above and beyond what I ever expected out of a realtor, not once, but twice, showing her intense dedication and consistency. 10/10 would recommend!
