Melanie, originally from Austin and now long-settled in Dallas, has cultivated a rich and diverse career in real estate and construction, deeply influenced by her early summers interning at her father’s construction company. Her journey in the industry started casually—her tasks initially as simple as filing papers, a job she humorously recalls was likely her mom’s way of keeping her busy. This early exposure sowed the seeds of a lifelong career path intertwined with family and real estate.
Married since 1992 and a mother to three children and four grandchildren, Melanie’s career took a professional turn in 2007 when she obtained her real estate license. Her career has spanned residential real estate, land development, and managing a close friend’s real estate portfolio, which included overseeing the construction and acquisition of numerous coffee shops. This varied experience seemed like disjointed parts of a puzzle until her father, ready to retire, called her a few years ago to take over his company. This opportunity has allowed Melanie to bring together all the diverse facets of her career into a cohesive whole, managing the family business and continuing its legacy.
Now, with her son also part of the business, Melanie relishes the joy and fulfillment of guiding the family company into the future, celebrating both her professional achievements and her deep-rooted family connections in the realm of building and real estate.
