Home buyers and sellers seeking the most considerate, professional services in Central Mississippi appreciate the boutique real estate offerings of Dream Home Properties, co-owned by REALTOR® and Broker, Melissa Honea. “I love this work!” says Melissa, who thinks nothing of working 12-hour days up to seven days a week to meet her clients’needs.

Although she has built her reputation and her business steadily since entering real estate in 2006, it wasn’t until several years into a corporate sales and marketing career that Melissa heeded the call to real estate. “I’d wanted to be a REALTOR® all my life, and when I finally let myself do it I never looked back!” A longtime resident of Central Mississippi, she brings local expertise, savvy negotiation skills and deep passion for real estate to her profession. “I love helping people find their dream homes and helping make their dreams come true,” she says.

Inspired by her clients’ personal successes with real estate,in 2012 Melissa formed Dream Home Properties with business partner Melissa Rhodes. With the goal of furthering the American Dream of home ownership, she became Principal Broker of the agency, which now includes six thriving agents. “We’re a boutique firm,” she says. “We each work independently but with a collaborative spirit.” As experts in central Mississippi, the firm’s agents combine their knowledge,energy and expertise to create an unforgettable home buying or selling experience for every client.“Clients see our dedication, commitment and genuine care,”says Melissa. “I am grateful for the opportunity to work for them and I treat each client like a member of my family.”Those people, in turn, are grateful for her honesty, openness and willingness to go above and beyond on their behalf. They value the attentive service that Melissa and all of the agents at Dream Home Property offer, explaining that Melissa puts them at ease, describing her“game plan” and educating them before and during each step of the process.

Given her creativity and her deep marketing background, Melissa most enjoys the advertising and marketing components of listing and selling houses. Sellers benefit from her love of the creative process. “We’re on all the major websites with featured listings for our sellers and we pay extra to have the listings optimized for viewing on all mobile devices,”she says. “We also use professional photography and videos with music, so that our clients’listings look beautiful on every platform.”Melissa and team are also known for integrity and for making themselves readily available to address questions or concerns, not only during the sales process but for the long-term. As a result,Melissa finds that her network of loyal clients reaches out to her regularly. “If I’m thinking about someone, I’ll call them.

But it’s fun when someone I sold a house to 10 years ago calls me for a reference on a plumber or help with something else they know I can provide,” she says. As Dream Home Properties grows, therefore, Melissa will maintain and expand on her image as a reliable community resource. “I will probably continue to grow my business as far as recruiting more agents,” she says. “But I’m selective about whom I’ll hire!”Dream Home Properties prides itself on providing the best service from well-informed, involved agents. Melissa herself is an Accredited Buyers Agent (ABR); a Sellers Representative Specialist (SRS), a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE); and a member of the Women’s Council of REALTORS® (WCR), who also volunteers with several real estate boards and has held numerous elected roles and committee chair posts. “Each of us is also very active in our local communities,” says Melissa, who cherishes every aspect of real estate. “I plan to make real estate my ‘forever’career!” she says.
