We had the good fortune of connecting with Melissa Shelton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Melissa, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
My favorite quote is one by Nelson Mandela,” It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Many times we may get an idea or have a dream/goal and immediately we start thinking about all of the struggles we may incur or why it can’t be done. This quote to me means that we need to stop doubting ourselves and just put the effort forth to make it happen. For example, people wondered how I could master being a REALTOR® and a pharmacist. Life is all about balance, I’ve gained success by being diligent, setting goals, marketing what sets me apart from others, and staying focused on what I KNEW I could achieve.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
What sets me apart from others is that I treat home ownership as a journey and I guide my clients all the way to the finish line. My goal is to not only sell my clients a home, but to educate them on the process so that they can make informed decisions & aren’t overwhelmed. I also set realistic expectations & make sure that they will be financially comfortable with their purchase. The path to success is never easy but the key is to never give up. I personalize each experience to meet the needs of each client. I want people to know whether they’re a first time homebuyer, investor, or selling their home that I am” The Key to The Home of Their Dreams”.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If I had a friend from visiting from out of town we would have drinks on the roof top of the Claremont Hotel & visit Treat Your Feet for a day of relaxation. We would also be sure to eat at some of my favorite places which include Barcelona Wine Bar, Plated Lounge, Tassili’s, & Local Green.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I attribute my success to my Mom & Grandmommie who both set the standard for what a successful woman looks like. Losing my Mom at a young age, I was determined not to fail or become a statistic. Before her untimely passing weeks before my 15th birthday she showed me the value of hard work, taught me to always prioritize what was important & stand up for myself. I would also like to give recognition to my family and friends that encourage & support me every step of the way. Lastly, I’d like to thank my clients for not only choosing me as their REALTOR®, but for also trusting and believing in me.
