Melanie was raised in West Seattle, and a resident of Steilacoom for the past 16 years. Her husband Josh, a Firefighter/Captain in DuPont, was born and raised in town and we both decided there was nowhere else they wanted to raise their 3 little girls. Her background consists of 15+ years of finance, banking, and leadership/management. She jumped into Real Estate and joined Ascent Home Group/Better Properties to allow more flexibility to enjoy the fleeting and precious time with her family. She is very involved in the Steilacoom community as a Kiwanis member, a Cherrydale PTA officer, a landlord, and as the Founder/Admin of the Steilacoom Moms Group. Her passion is connecting people to people, neighbors to neighbors, and building meaningful relationships. Her service area encompasses the greater Steilacoom/DuPont area, and especially enjoy working with first-responders (firemen, police, EMT's, etc) and first-time homeowners.
Make sure to say hello when you see her around!
