Mel helped me and my husband buy a house in Charlotte last year and there were multiple problems to address. Mel was very diligent and took all of the time that was needed to complete things. He even helped us to show the house to a prospective tenant when we were unable to do it. Recently, Mel helped our son buy a house in Charlotte, and again, Mel was very thorough and helpful. Before, during, and after the sale, Mel was available for consultation and always made time for any decisions to be made. Our family members now consider Mel to be our family realtor for any future home purchases. He’s responsible, trustworthy and communicates well. He definitely makes the home buying process less stressful and more enjoyable.

Born and raised near London in England and lucky enough to have travelled extensively, I had the opportunity to move to Charlotte in 2010 and have not looked back since!
Working in Real Estate for 8 years now I am privileged and honored to be part of this thriving city and exciting industry. Licensed in NC and SC I am driven, passionate, and work hard for every client in assessing and meeting their needs while minimizing risk.
With two decades of sales and marketing experience I always look to provide excellent customer service to achieve my client’s goals. From being focused as a buyer agent specialist helping first time home buyers, investors and relocating referrals, to also helping owners in making their next move and maximizing their returns.
Helping clients understand the market, process and strategy is key and I'll always be there to help you through the entire process.
A little about my eye-opening experience and change in perspective. After suffering a stroke and heart failure in spring of 2023, I count myself a very lucky and fortunate man to have survived. The staff and doctor's at Novant Health saved my life and the staff at The Atrium Rehabilitation Center in Charlotte helped me to recover and get back to health. To them I will forever be grateful and thankful, as to my family and friends who were there throughout. Because of this and what I went through, together with it being a great cause, I have Partnered with We Win which is a charity that helps stroke survivors and those with neurological injuries afford rehabilitation services. I will be giving back and donating a percentage of my closed commissions to We Win to help those in need. Please check out this amazing organization and their Founder Harshada Rajani on their page on our site, or online at We Win (wewintogether.org)
Whatever your Real Estate needs, I look forward to helping you every step of the way!
Mel is awesome! He helped my mom & about a year later helped me find my first home. He is realistic & helps guide you but also listen to your needs & what you are looking for. He is knowledgeable of the area & the crazy Charlotte market.
by Sinead PrentissMel went above and beyond to help me figure out what needed to be done to the property and which contractors might be good fits, and he took the time to meet multiple contractors over the course of several different days during the due diligence period when I was busy and unable to meet them myself. That was not a trivial thing for him to do, and the transaction would have been nearly impossible without his help. Very responsive and helpful throughout the whole experience, I'd highly recommend Mel to anyone in search of a realtor.
by jdivine29Highly recommend Mel! As a first time buyer he put me at ease and made the whole processes seamless and really advocated for me in the negotiation process.
by williamsgs13Mel made our condo buying experience absolutely amazing. Our original approach to shopping for a condo was to take it slow and see what fell into our laps. Mel was incredibly patient and proactive about sending us exactly what we asked for no matter how many times we change our minds about what we were looking for. In the end he was able to find a place that checked everything off our list- a skyline view, historic property, pet friendly, adorable neighborhood, beautiful nearby parks, and light rail accessibility. Anyone looking for a realtor that is knowledgeable about Charlotte neighborhoods and the home buying process needs to work with Mel. Besides knowing his stuff he’s easy to get along which makes the house buying experience all the more fun. Thanks for everything Mel!
by Ale BergmannAs a first time home buyer, I came into the market not knowing what I didn’t know, but fortunately for me, Mel was there to explain every step of the process. We were able to figure out together what aspects of a home mattered to me, and where to look to check all those boxes. I am very happy to be living in my new condo, and I truly appreciate Mel helping to make that a reality. Thank you!
