For over a decade, I’ve been helping clients navigate one of life’s biggest decisions—buying or selling a home—with clarity, strategy, and heart. As a full-time realtor serving Simcoe County and the GTA, I’m committed to simplifying the process and ensuring every client feels heard, supported, and confident at every step.
My work is grounded in a high standard of care and effort—backed by a Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE) designation and years of hands-on experience. Whether I’m negotiating a deal, prepping a property for market, or just being a calm presence in a stressful moment, I take pride in showing up 1000% for my clients.
Real estate is personal to me. I believe in doing work I’m proud to put my name on. When I see my sign on a lawn or read a heartfelt testimonial, I’m reminded why I do this—because I love helping people move forward in their lives.
Outside of real estate, I’m a mom, a lifelong learner, an animal lover and a community builder. I host yoga in my yurt, stay active with my family, and run donation drives for local shelters. I bring that same passion and energy into my work—always growing, always aiming higher, and always celebrating every win with my clients.

My real estate journey began when my family and I moved from busy Toronto living to a smaller city. The change sparked my passion for helping sellers and buyers find the right homes and feel confident throughout the process. My approach to real estate is grounded in integrity, empathy and commitment to personalized service. I believe in forging genuine connections with my clients and going above and beyond to exceed their expectations. When you work with me, you're not just another listing-you're a valued partner. I take great pride in working hard for my clients, going the extra mile, being available whenever you need me.
Outside of work, I love nothing more than spending time with my husband and children and uncovering the hidden treasures within our community. Whether personally or professionally, I thrive on building connections, nurturing relationships and making a meaningful difference.
Kind Words.

She was always on her game and anything we asked of her was delivered.Thanks to Melissa, this was about as painless as searching for a new home can be! We appreciated her easy manner, professionalism and knowledge of the process. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Melissa to friends and family. All in all, a very positive experience.”

“Maria is both kind and knowledgeable, which are key qualities in a realtor. She knows the local market well and helped me set the right price for a quick sale, just as I had requested. She also recommended reliable contractors who offered fair prices and timely service. Maria ensured the photos of my cottage were top-notch, and she prepared professional handouts for showings. She managed all the paperwork efficiently, making sure everything was correct and stress-free. Her attention to detail and professionalism made the sale of my old cottage I had loved for years and years so much easier!”

“My wife and I met Melissa about 5 years ago. We were contemplating moving at the time from our newer subdivision home to Collingwood proper. The plan was to downsize and purchase two homes, one for ourselves and an income property.
Well, once we met Melissa you could tell she truly had our best interests at heart and wanted to help us make our dreams come true. She helped us through the purchase of our beautiful home which we are in now, the sale of our subdivision home, and the purchase of our income property. Melissa has always gone above and beyond. She is always there to keep emotions in check, work hard for you, and help navigate difficult questions.
Even now Melissa is someone we call on occasionally to help us with potential tenants. She has not only been a delightful person to work with over the years, but is an amazing person to simply have in your circle… Go Team!!!”
