About Us

Founder/Principal Broker

Melanie started managing long term rental properties in the Midcoast area when she recognized a market niche providing high-level services for these properties.   MidcoastHome began offering these custom services to rental home owners across Knox County in 2009,  after accolades of her services began to spread throughout the community.  After an organic period of growth, MidcoastHome, Inc.  grew to include a select group of service experts who assist her in providing her rental clients speedy resolutions.  Melanie’s concierge-style approach to property management is no accident.

In 2021, Melanie launched Midcoast Realty Group, also based in Rockland, Maine.   Offering a full spectrum of real estate services including residential and commercial brokerage, real estate investment consultation,  long term rental management, and commercial leasing, Melanie and her colleagues  assist clients with all aspects of real estate business.  As the Designated Broker / Owner at Midcoast Realty Group, Melanie offers her real estate clients residential and investment property sales and purchase services.
