Sales associate Melissa Braniff learned early in her real estate career that communication was the foundation of strong relationships and successful transactions. Having fine tuned her communications skills as an advertising executive for 13 years, Melissa set her sights on a career in real estate, where she could meet new people and bring them together so goals and dreams are shared. "I am not afraid to work hard and long hours, plus I love my job", says Melissa. "My clients know that I am always accessible to them and I pride myself on incredible service. The best career advice I was given was from my grandfather, 'open your ears and close your mouth'. You cannot be of service to your clients if you don't understand them or their needs," she adds. Melissa Braniff specializes in residential real estate services and serves the needs of buyers and sellers in Harris County. She is a member of the Houston Association of Realtors, the Texas Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. A resident of Bunker Hill Village, Melissa can be found participating in various fund raising charities throughout the community and through the activities of her children. She's an award winning high end jewelry designer and when not working she loves playing tennis.
As a Compass agent who's an expert in this local Houston area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Selling YOUR Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that moves fast!
