Melanie Barger

Melanie marketed our property in a Luxury gated Sea Island developed neighborhood and was able to receive 5-15% more for our property than for comparable marshfront lots sold in the same neighborhood in the same time period. She supplied beautiful drone photography and eloquently told the story of our neighborhood’s assets, lifestyle, and value. She was prompt and responsive and kept us informed throughout the process. Melanie continues to keep us updated on the real estate market and trends as well as provide property equity and valuation estimates for our other real estate investments. Melanie is organized, calm, kind, creative, patient, fiercely loyal, and a tough negotiator. Melanie is a good listener who helped us determine a long range plan for our real estate portfolio based on our goals. We trust that she will work hard to help us meet our goals and that Melanie truly has our best interest at heart.

"Melanie was referred to us by a realtor friend in Texas. What a joy it has been working with her! Always responsive, Melanie has guided and supported us through the purchase of three investment properties in the past two years. She has guided us through 1031 Exchanges, price negotiations, financing, and so much more. I’m not sure what we would have done without her."

“For anyone looking for a home in the St. Simons area, Melanie Barger is the only realtor you need to talk to. She is not at all shy about being homegrown to St. Simons and her obvious knowledge of the entire island was a tremendous resource to help us find exactly what we were looking for. It is a tough market for home buyers these days, with low inventory and higher prices, but Melanie showed us a range of what was available and she listened carefully to our feedback to zero-in on the area we finally decided to build and live. One of the key things we were looking for in our search was an area with a solid sense of "community". Melanie's warm personality, enthusiasm and love for everything St. Simons is a solid example of just what we were looking for in the community we now will call home.”

Melanie is smart and creative and diligent. She markets her listings with an artist’s eye, highlighting not just the house but also the coastal lifestyle that accompanies it. She is warm and friendly and well respected in the community, able to conduct negotiations with great success. She grew up on St. Simons and knows how and where to find the perfect properties.

It has been such a pleasure working with Melanie through this journey to achieve a lifelong dream. She is friendly, easy to work with, and is a force of nature in terms of finding the best fit, negotiating the contract, navigating the mortgage and closing processes, and following up to make sure that we are happy. We highly recommend Melanie for your real estate needs!

Melanie assisted me in the recent purchase of my condo on Saint Simons Island. Melanie's advice and guidance throughout the process was invaluable. Her experience having been raised and living the majority of her life on the Island has given her a unique perspective of the local market. With me being a first time home buyer, Melanie was always attentive and ready to answer any of my never-ending questions and requests. There is no one I would recommend more than Melanie to anyone who is looking to make what may be the largest purchase of their life.
