Meet Melanie
Melanie possesses a passion for success in everything she undertakes. Her competitive drive and proactive communication style empower her to achieve outstanding results. For two decades, she has been committed to not only meeting but exceeding client expectations. Raised in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago and now rooted in the northwest suburbs, Melanie has developed a deep appreciation for these vibrant communities, particularly Barrington, where she has resided and raised her family for the past 24 years.
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Calvin University, Melanie initially excelled in a completely different industry. As an Account Executive for the cosmetic giant Estée Lauder, she oversaw over 40 accounts across the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. In addition, she managed and expanded the business performance of brands like Clinique and served as a Regional Makeup Artist/Trainer for Chanel Beauté in the same markets. This invaluable experience allowed her to successfully combine her creativity and expertise in marketing and design with her business acumen, ultimately launching a thriving real estate career.
Parsons Premier Homes exemplifies excellence through high-touch, white-glove service and a sophisticated brand developed by Melanie. She has established herself as one of the premier real estate professionals in Lake County and the surrounding areas. Consistently ranked in the top 2% of producers, Melanie has surpassed $250 million in career sales, earning accolades such as the Midwest Highest Producer award from Keller Williams and the esteemed 5 Star Professional award since 2010.
Melanie believes success is not just about business achievements but also about maintaining a work-life balance that allows her to enjoy invaluable time with her family and grandchildren. Recently, she became dual-licensed in both Illinois and North Carolina, expanding her reach to better serve her clientele. Her ultimate goal is to not only meet her clients’ expectations but to exceed them through a personalized approach to buying and selling real estate.
Beyond her professional ventures, she actively participates in various charitable and community service projects and is committed to making a positive impact in her local area.
If you have questions about the current market or wish to explore opportunities in real estate, Melanie is eager to help you achieve your goals with dedication and professionalism.
