About Melissa
Analytical Mind. Investor's Eye. Realtor's Heart.
Real estate isn't just my career — it's something I genuinely love. I thrive on finding incredible deals, negotiating strategically, and delivering results that exceed expectations. My clients know me for quick communication, strong strategy, and always going the extra mile to find the right home.
As an active real estate investor with a growing rental portfolio, I bring firsthand market knowledge and a sharp eye for value — whether it's a primary residence, a flip, or an income-producing property.
Before becoming a full-time Realtor, I earned a degree in Microbiology and Chemistry from USF and worked in cancer research at Moffitt Cancer Center. In 2014, I jointed the real estate industry as a property manager for my first investment property — learning the business from the ground up before transitioning to a full-time Realtor.

Buyer & Seller Experiences
Melissa made buying our first home in Florida feel completely stress-free. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests at heart. We couldn't have done it without her!
Stephanie Mathew
Lakeland, FL
Melissa was fantastic to work with! She was very helpful in finding homes that met what we were looking for, setting up appointments to see homes and made the whole process so much easier. She got us a great price on our home and helped us navigate some big hiccups with the builder so we could close when we needed to. Definitely would recommend using Melissa as your agent if you're buying or selling a home!
Courtney and Robert Driver
Haines City, FL
Melissa did a wonderful job selling our home. It was only on the market for 4 days! She kept us informed the entire time and even got above asking price for our home. Couldn't recommend her enough.
Sara & Ricky Schreck
Plant City, FL
Melissa did an amazing job helping us find the perfect home in Lakeland. She picked up on what we liked and disliked as we saw homes early in the process and then she found homes that fit our criteria. We would definitely recommend her — she was fantastic to work with and very responsive.
Kim & CD Hansen
Lakeland, FL
Working with Melissa Frederick was an outstanding experience. She helped me buy my home and was always available whenever I had questions or needed guidance. Her patience and support made the entire process easy and stress-free from start to finish. Melissa truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and it shows in the way she listens, communicates, and takes care of every detail. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated realtor.
Johanna Baez
Lakeland, FL
Melissa was beyond awesome! She really was stellar in doing even more than what was expected. From the first moment I met her at an open house where she made sure to make the home feel homey and cozy to spending hours dealing with the numerous inspection issues that came up. She personally had her husband come check the trusses from an engineering perspective. She held my hand during the whole process and was always ready and responsive when I had questions and concerns. I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Melissa is absolutely AMAZING to work with. There were a lot of hoops she had to jump through with me and my husband but she managed to find us a home and get us approved within 24 hours.

A recommendation came from a very good friend of mine and said I would love Melissa, she is the sweetest person. When Melissa reached out to me we started my journey with house hunting. Melissa was so easy to talk to, like I had known her forever. She was so quick at sending homes all throughout the day, flexible with my work schedule when showing houses and answering any questions I had, night or day. Very personable and professional with her job. Went above and beyond at providing me with contacts for lenders and inspectors she works with daily. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends, coworkers, and family that is buying or selling. She is fantastic! She helped me find my forever home.

The first day of meeting Melissa I knew I made the right choice. She was not only my realtor she also became a friend. She quickly found me my perfect home .She was available to me anytime of the day and night with any questions I had she also took the stress out of the offer and buying process by recommending the lender that got the purchase done for me being there every step of the way communicating my needs to the lender when my busy work schedule did not allow me to do so. She also lined up every person that I needed to get to closing.I would highly recommend her expertise to my personal friends ,family and coworkers are anyone in search of finding their dream home.
