Get to Know Melinda

melindamartinbailey-49

Melinda Martin Bailey, Associate Broker with Seabolt Real Estate, was born in the Hostess City to a family whose Southern roots trace back generations. She graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Georgia and studied language at the University of Dijon in France. Melinda obtained her real estate license in 1987 and found her place in her father’s company, working in all areas of buying, renovating, leasing and managing downtown properties.

Melinda’s father carved out a place in local history as one of the pioneers of property renovation in Savannah’s historic district. While keeping a watchful eye on her father’s innovative practices, Melinda gained valuable knowledge that would play an instrumental role in her transition to full time real estate sales in 1997.

A love of distinguished design and luxurious home decorating, and a firm understanding of what buyers are looking for gives Melinda an edge in preparing her clients’ homes for sale.

Melinda recognizes the purchase or sale of a home is a significant financial decision and a deeply personal experience. She takes pride in assisting her clients in making sound decisions while respecting the emotional aspects. Whether buying or selling a home she understands that each client, like each home, is unique and requires an individual approach. Melinda is consistently among her firm’s top producers and a member of the local Board of Realtors Distinguished Sales Society.

Client Experiences

  • Testimonials are given by friends, clients, business associates and family to someone who at one time or another has gone above and beyond for them.  Melinda has certainly deserved each and every accolade bestowed upon her.  Her sphere of influence remains dedicated and loyal. For me, it is very simple.  If I were going to choose an agent to represent me in a real estate transaction, Melinda would be that agent.  As a broker, I know what it takes to get the transaction done and done flawlessly.  It takes pure unadulterated talent and relentless commitment.  I have experienced 18 years of such talent and commitment from Melinda.
    It is my privilege to know and work with “Simply the Best”!
