About Me
I am proud to introduce myself as a member of Allen Tate Realtors® team! Formerly a licensed Realtor in Northern Minnesota as well as locally, you can be assured that with my over 10 years of Realtor experience, I am very knowledgeable in my field and will provide all clients with the highest degree of integrity and professionalism.
After majoring in Business at the University of AZ, I got married and was fortunate to have lived in many beautiful regions across the United States. Hawaii was my favorite...until I moved to Boone. I am happy to call the High Country my home and proud to have owned a local business in Blowing Rock for several years.
My 2 children began elementary school in Boone and were student/athletes in softball and football at Watauga High School. My daughter graduated in Spring 2021, has been working all summer and will attend Caldwell Community College in the Fall. Her goal is to have a career in Forensic Science. My son got his EMT certification with the state of North Carolina last year with the intent to be a firefighter. After a turn of events this Spring, he signed up for Marine boot camp. He graduted in July and now is a full fledged United State Marine. When additional combat training is complete this month, he will be attending his school in Pensacola Florida with a job in Aviation. My husband Randy has been the Property Services Director at Hound Ears Club for several years. Being involved in our community and volunteering at the schools for years has allowed me to meet many wonderful families.. I want to meet your family, pets included! We adopted our pups Lambeau and Peaches from the Watauga Humane Society. A few of the things I like to do during my personal time is cook, garden and watch football!
Living here, I have experienced what so many clients are looking for- the good times and memories created through living in the Blue Ridge Mountains!

Melinda was so fun to work with! So smart and in tuned with what I was looking for. She didn't try to sway me into properties I wasn't interested in. She knew I needed an elevator, she found me a home with an elevator. She knew I wanted to be near my grandchildren who live in New Market, she found me a home near the school. Call her - you will NOT be disappointed!

We went every everywhere from Beech Mountain to Sparta not knowing where we wanted to be. Melinda was extremely patient and kind for all the months we were looking. She is so fun to be around and not a pressure type sales person. We ended up purchasing from her about 8 months after we first started our journey together. We had lots of fun with her- you will too!
Kathy Hawks
Melinda went above and beyond on selling our condo in Blowing Rock. She did things for us that was not expected, but very much appreciated. Our condo sold within 24 hours of active listing. If we ever need to sell, or purchase again; she will be the one!!!
Joanna Templeton
Melinda initially contacted me when I was interested in a property that was just listed on the market in Boone. She was professional in every manner possible and thorough with the COVID-19 protocols. She listened carefully to our requirements in searching for a permanent residence. After we made offers to purchase, Melinda followed through on each detail and expertise!! On a personal level, Melinda and I connected immediately and we formed a friendship and mutual respect for one another.
Marian Keen
Melinda was with me from Day 1 of my cabin search escapades!! She went above and beyond helping me find the cabin we wanted and needed. After being blessed with an amazing home, we decided 1 year later to sell it, moving on to different adventures and she was there with us every step of the way. Through all the hard work, she stood by us and sealed the deal! Melinda will forever be our friend, much more than we expected to get when we hired her as our realtor.
Melinda, Just a small note of our deepest appreciation for your help in locating our home. The time you spent working hard to keep our purchase and clsoing on track shows what a special person you truly are. Not only keeping us informed on what was going on, but making sure everyone else was doing their jobs: was above and beyond what anyone would expect. We owe you many thanks, but at the same time thanks just does not seem good enoughfor the services you provided to us.Thank you again, Janet and Dale Brawley

I was first in contact with Melinda about a year before we purchased a house. The delay in purchasing was due to personal circumstances. Melinda stayed in touch throughout that time but was never pushy. She spent time getting to know our needs before we were finally to the point of scheduling some showings. Melinda helped us find a home, guided us to make an offer that was accepted, and supported us through the closing process on our perfect home. The process moved quickly and smoothly with Melinda representing us. She was a dream to work with!
