Melda Bates

Licensed Agent, Associate Broker

Melda Bates is a unique real estate expert whose career has much depth across the industry, where she is known for her dedication to her clients and colleagues.

Given her unique name, Melda has had her fair share of nicknames . . . Mel, Imelda, Melba, and Mel B. Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised 40 miles north in a small town, Melda’s family (she’s the baby of eight) headed for the warmth of Florida when she was 14. The sunshine state was home to Melda for 24 years, where she attended Daytona State College on days it was too cloudy for the beach.

Melda is an experienced real estate professional and served as the marketing director for one of Central Florida’s top producing teams for five years. Melda earned her real estate licenses in 2014, her Associate Brokers license in 2017, and also worked in architecture for several years.

In her free time, Melda spends time loving her Giant Schnauzers George and Betty, Bouvier des Flandres Henry (foster fail), doing yoga, relaxing with friends and family, kicking around the farm working and most definitely working on some kind of project.

How Can I Help?

I absolutely LOVE Mel.

In 2016 we called Mel about some land for sell. She immediately called us back and answered all of our questions. If she didn't have an answer for us, she would find the answer. I don't think it ever took her more than a day to get back to us on anything. She is very responsive! We love Mel so much, that we had her help us find a house as well. Whenever I need a realtor, I will call Mel.

Melda was so helpful during our search for the perfect home.

She knew all the neighborhoods and provided us with honest information that helped us navigate the areas we were searching in. We are not from the area so having a realtor with a good understanding of each neighborhood helped us make better and more informed decisions about where we wanted to focus our search. Melda was also so patient with us and never pushed us to make an offer on a house unless we were certain it was what we wanted. The market was pretty crazy when we were looking and we made offers on a few houses before we found our current house, but even with how competitive the market was, Melda always made sure we were comfortable with the offers we were making and provided great insight on whether some of the details of the deal were worth it or not. Overall, we were so incredibly lucky to have worked with Melda and we are so grateful to her amazing work ethic and drive to find us our home!
