About

I've always had a passion for sales and service. For over 20 years, I actively managed and operated my family automobile dealership Ken Thomas Acura and BMW. During that time our dealership was repeatedly recognized for the excellent service we provided before and after the sale. After selling the dealership, I decided to pursue a career in Real Estate. I enjoy getting to know and forming a relationship with my clients. That's why I now say "I sell houses for my friends and my service makes sure we stay friends". I would like to be your Realtor to serve you in marketing your home for sale or to help you search for the perfect home. I am committed to providing you, or anyone you refer to me, the most professional, caring, and knowledgeable service as I would do for all of my friends. I would be honored to serve you.

Testimonies From Our Clients/Friends:

"Melissa Thomas is more than just a realtor. She provides a comprehensive service that I've never experienced before. I've lived in a lot of cities and worked with a lot of realtors, but Melissa's work is reflective of who she is as a person, and less about making a sale. Because she embodies the community and genuinely cares about how Columbus is perceived by visitors and potential residents, her best foot is always forward. As her client over the past three years, she has developed a relationship with our physicians, and is often times the city concierge for their needs even after they have settled into the community. Candidates who come to Columbus to interview with our practice always remark on how thorough and helpful the city tours are in making a decision about living in the community. Melissa is highly responsive and flexible with meeting our needs and has become a core part of our recruitment program in the Columbus market."

-Tara McKennie- Regional VP of Operations at Radiology Partners

"Our experience with Melissa was excellent, on a scale of 1-5, definitely a 5. Have known Melissa for along time and worked with her on different platforms other than as a real estate client. Have always found her to be friendly, yet professional, and driven for excellence in all that she does. She did a great job for us in the sale of our home. Would easily recommend her, and if we have the need, would call her on other real estate transactions." -D. Elder

"Melissa is extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market in Columbus as well as has great knowledge and understanding of the community at-large, both of which are essential when purchasing a home as a new resident." In addition, "Melissa was very patient with us as we looked at multiple homes in various neighborhoods and areas of Columbus to get a sense of what we really wanted". -S. Hickson

"Not only do I consider her my friend, but she goes above and beyond to meet your needs and get you in the perfect home. This is the third time I have used Melissa, and it won't be the last!!!!" -N. Burgin

" I chose Melissa because of her reputation as a hard worker. Our house sold in three months and enjoyed getting to personally know Melissa, and am so glad to call her a good friend." -K. Jinks

"Melissa Thomas and her team were relentless workers from the time we put our home on the market through closing on the new home we purchased. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to sell a high end home in this area." -H. Harp
