All the way from Upstate New York, I relocated to Wayne County in 2012 and fell in love with everything this area has to offer. The friendliness throughout the community is something I only dreamed of. My background of 10 years in human services carries over the compassion needed to be a successful real estate agent. I earned my Accredited Buyer's Representative designation in 2017 and specialize in New Construction and Relocation. I was the first agent to join The Lauren Mingay Team and currently work as the Technology Manager, Buyers Agent Trainer and continue to be Top Producer for the Team.

Melissa and her team were so helpful to us in selling our home. They provided extensive staging help to ensure our home had optimum market appeal which brought in a very good selling price. They are very communicative and their systems helped us get through closing super quickly. I would definitely list with them again.
