Top Agent Magazine Feature - Melisa Fitchett (January 2021)
Top Agent Melisa Fitchett – of Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper, REALTORS® in San Antonio, Texas – may be relatively new to the real estate industry, but she has quickly proven herself a dynamic, powerhouse agent who has already achieved a level of success that is the envy of many of her peers with much more longevity in the business. Honest, intelligent and possessing an indomitable work ethic, Melisa has built a thriving business based on integrity and best business practices, and she has more than earned her stellar reputation as a trusted real estate advocate for her many grateful buyers and sellers.
Melisa began her career in real estate following a long and illustrious career in corporate America, working for high profile companies that include AT&T, Petco and Best Buy. Excelling at each position, Melisa unfortunately found her job eliminated, and decided to search out a new career. Misfortune turned to fortune when she decided to give real estate a shot in 2018, and she was named Rookie of the Year right out of the gate after signing up with Coldwell Banker. “I was nervous at first about the commission-only aspect of real estate,” recalls Melisa, who was pulling down a steady six-figure salary including bonuses, “but my husband told me to go for it, that working for someone else was no longer my path. I enjoyed the brands I worked for, and their reputations, and I feel I’ve found that same prestige with Coldwell Banker D’Ann Harper, REALTORS®.”
Currently, a significant portion of Melisa’s business is based upon positive word of mouth and her sphere of influence, an impressive achievement in the highly competitive world of real estate. “It’s about providing the best experience, resources and counsel for my clients,” says Melisa, when asked how she manages to engender such impressive loyalty amongst her clients. “It’s all about finding them the best home for them, and also keeping the entire process as stress-free as possible for them.”
Melisa, a native Texan, works hard to continually educate herself about the industry in which she works, and has earned a multitude of certifications and designations, including the ABR® (Accredited Buyers Representative), SRES® (Senior Real Estate Specialist), and the MRP (Military Relocation Professional). She is also a graduate of the REALTOR® Institute (GRI). As a veteran’s wife, daughter and granddaughter, Melisa holds a special passion for working with military service members.
There are many factors that come into play when assessing Melisa’s ever-growing success story, and chief among them would be her expert negotiation skills and her incredibly comprehensive approach to marketing her listings, which leaves no stone unturned and translates into fast sales for top dollar, not to mention happy clients. Proof of this can be found on Zillow.com, on which site she holds a perfect five-star overall rating comprised of scores of glowing testimonials.
When she’s not working, which is rare, Melisa enjoys nothing more than spending time with her husband, their four sons and grandchildren. She is also an ardent philanthropist who supports multiple charities through her work with the San Antonio Junior League, among other selfless efforts.
Melisa’s plans for the future of her business include continued growth, but not at the expense of the top-of-the-line, unparalleled customer service that has rapidly become synonymous with her name.
