Melissa has worked in real estate since 1998. In 2009 she became a member of the RICS.

In her current role she is responsible for managing portfolios in the Netherlands, mainly for international funds and investors. She loves her job as a property manager because of the diversity of the work and the amount of personal contact. There is never a dull moment.

She has lived in Amsterdam since 2009 and together with her boyfriend she built their own house in the lovely Amsterdam Noord area where they, after a construction period of two years, now live together with their two young children.
