Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Mel became a passionate advocate for homeownership and investing in real estate after buying and selling her first home. What drew her to it was realizing the significant financial impact the right investment property can make and learning how much having a home to truly call your own can improve your quality of life.
Her specialties are working with first-time home buyers and sellers yet she is fluent in all aspects of residential real estate. She is trained extensively in real estate negotiation, holding both the CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert) and RENE (Real Estate Negotiations Expert) designations.
Mel knows that with all the technology available to buyers and sellers, one of the best skills a REALTOR® can have is knowing how to be a collaborative negotiator to get the best outcome for their clients.
After a decade-long career working in operations and client service for creative companies, Mel earned her Broker’s license and made the move to real estate. She listens to her client’s needs and aims to treat everyone involved in a transaction with honesty and integrity. She loves getting to know her clients, their wants, and needs to ensure they get the highest level of service Mel is known for.
Mel brings creativity and an eye for detail to the table with a background in art and events. She enjoys a remodel or renovation project, has a soft spot for old craftsman homes, loves helping first-time buyers, and educating her clients on the selling and purchasing process. She believes in staying up to date on market trends, technology, and tools available to real estate agents. This gives her an edge when it comes to marketing properties and communicating with her clients.
When Mel is not working in real estate she is volunteering with the Red Cross, gardening, hosting dinner parties, or relaxing at home on Bull Mountain with her husband, son, two big dogs, and a handful of chickens.

Part of the reason why I wanted to be a realtor is when I bought and sold my first home I really learned what a big difference that buying a home can make so many people come to me and feel like buying a home is unattainable how is
That even possible I didn’t think that that was possible I’ve totally been there I tell people that if that is their goal we can figure out a way there when I bought my first house I didn’t feel heard so I try to make the experience really positive for my
Clients by listening to them hearing what their goals are and making sure that I make a custom plan for them to achieve those goals I recently became a mom I think how that helps me relate to clients is that I get to see more of the challenges in people’s time and that
Really gives me more of an appreciation and more of a motivation to take things off of their plate because I know being apparent that there’s so many things to do and so if there’s anything that I can take away from my clients then I like to
Do that I have a background in artart I went to school for sculpture and print making I’d say that I bring my background in art into my work as a realtor just in my eye for detail and not just in the Aesthetics of a home but
And also the issues that you might come up in a home I used to be an event planner managing a transaction is not unlike planning an event or overseeing the event as it comes together and that’s really I think the heart of what I find interesting being able to see all the
Pieces all the things that need to happen and prioritizing them and knowing what needs to happen in order to make everything come together I’m Mel marzal broker with living room realy in Portland Oregon
