They say if you want to get something done, ask the busiest person you know. That definitely describes Melissa Hubbard. The dynamic agent with Re/Max Realty South. She is a problem solver who’s always on the go. “I stay on top of things. I get back to my clients immediately whenever they have questions. I feel like I go above and beyond, because half of the time (their questions) don’t have to do with real estate, but I’ll always find out the answer. I think that’s what sets me apart from other agents.”
Melissa started her career in the construction field at age 18 and got her Real Estate license almost four years ago. Being in building she was familiar with the inner workings of the industry. “It was natural that I fell into real estate because I love houses, and I love land. I can see how people can move things around to improve them, so if they don’t have a vision, I can help with that.” She also encourages her clients to be persistent. “Sometimes buyers, especially first-time buyers, will get discouraged when they start searching and can’t find the right home. I always tell them, it is out there, and when you walk into your home, you’ll know it’s your home. When you walk on your land, you’ll know it’s your land.”
Licensed across Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, Melissa’s commitment sees no borders. “Every mile I travel, be it across Marion, Franklin, Sequatchie, or Hamilton Counties, or even beyond into places like Blue Ridge, Georgia, it’s to ensure my clients find their dream space.” While she doesn’t rely heavily on advertisements, her work ethic speaks volumes, bringing her a stream of dedicated clients. “Building relationships are important to me, I often find myself forging deep connections with my clients and becoming friends.”
Despite her impressive distinction as a top agent in her area, Melissa remains grounded. “Awards are heartening, but my true joy stems from helping my clients.” Because she works hard and plays hard, Melissa tries to set aside vacation time a few times a year to spend time with family and relax, but she often ends up working when needed, even when she’s supposed to be recharging her batteries. “I love what I do so much that I plan to do it forever. I don’t try to plan ahead next year or the future, because life changes all the time. You just have to go with the flow.
