Melissa has been named a Multi-Millon Dollar Producer by Prudential C. Dan Joyner for 2003-2010. For 2011, Melissa was named the #1 Agent for ALL of Prudential C. Dan Joyner, companywide. And, she is on pace to be among the Top field of agents for Prudential for the first quarter of 2012. Importantly, she is a Certified Relocation Specialist with Prudential, helping both buyers & sellers with their unique set of relocation needs and objectives. She also earned the distinction as a Fine Homes Specialist in 2005 for meeting the professional standards set by Prudential Real Estate for sales professionals who successfully list, market and transact sales of Fine Homes. Prudential C. Dan Joyner’s definition of a Fine Home is a residence valued at $450,000 and up. For 2006, 2007 and 2009, Melissa was named the runner-up for “Listing Agent of the Year” for the N. Pleasantburg Office of Prudential C. Dan Joyner. The award was based on gross commission income on listings. She was also among the Top 10 Agents for 2008 for the N.

A native South Carolinian, she also knows the market, having lived with her husband and children, Ashley, age 13, Hannah, age 9, and Ty, age 5, in the Simpsonville area for the last 16 years.

Both her mother-in-law (Pam Morrell, named 2003 REALTOR of the Year for SC) and mother (Sammie Ferrigan, Carolina One Real Estate) are REALTORS, providing Melissa with an even greater pool of knowledge and resources when it comes to servicing home buyers and sellers.

Melissa’s can-do attitude only strengthens in adversity. When her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2008, Melissa pushed back by getting involved in fund-raising for research; she now donates a portion of every real estate transaction to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and was among the top 25 individual fund-raisers for the ’08 Race for the Cure. And, for 2009, Melissa earned the TOP INDIVIDUAL FUNDRAISER for the Upstate Race for the Cure, thanks to the generous contributions of family, friends and fellow REALTORS. In 2010, she is serving as the Communications Chair on the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure Committee. She is also Team Captain for the Prudential C. Dan Joyner N. Pleasantburg Office Race Team. For 2011, Melissa was honored by being asked to serve as the Co-Chair for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, a role she will take on for the 2012 Race for the Cure!

A graduate of the University of South Carolina‘s School of Journalism in 1993, Melissa takes on select freelance writing assignments with a number of Upstate and regional lifestyle publications, is an active member of her church, Brookwood, and is a certified aerobics instructor teaching a wide variety of fitness classes with the GHS YMCA in Simpsonville for the past 15 years. Her children attend Southside Christian School where she is an active volunteer during the 2011-2012 school year.
