An asset to our staff of real estate professionals, Melissa specializes in assessing the unique needs of home buyers. She is adept at supporting first time home buyers through the maze of paperwork and processes, while her insight into the nuances of beach communities and waterfront homes also makes her the ideal resource for buyers seeking vacation properties along the coast.  A native Floridian, Melissa Stone has a Bachelors Degree from the University of Florida in Sociology and Education and a Masters Degree from the University of Central Florida in Hospitality Management. She grew up in the Cocoa Beach vicinity and now lives and loves the Largo Beach area and the sparkling Gulf Coast of Florida.

In addition to her education and experience, Melissa is the REALTOR she is today because of her instincts for client support honed in her years in the customer service industry. It is in her nature to give people exactly what they are looking for, the right home at the right price.

Passion for service and an eye for detail are the talents that brought Melissa great success in her previous career in the hospitality industry. She is skilled in customer service, event coordination, wedding planning, and food and wine service. During her decade of employment in this field she oversaw multiple departments at The Ritz-Carlton, Orlando where she worked for six years. Melissa brings all these finely tuned abilities to the coordination of every real estate transaction.

Melissa's work ethic is perfectly suited for Lipply Real Estate. We built this brokerage firm by putting our clients' needs at the top of every list and by ensuring that every transaction was in their best interests from the loan qualification to the property appraisal to the closing table.

The clients who get the most out of any real estate market are the ones who are represented by Realtors that understand the value of detail and effective coordination. This is why Melissa is a valued member of our team.
