Hi, I’m Bernadette Melton. I was born and raised in Indiana, and it really is true, I got here as soon as I could! I first visited Colorado in high school and knew this was where I wanted to live - the mountains, the outdoors, the sunshine - all of it!
I graduated from Purdue University in 2004 with degrees in animal science and veterinary medicine and relocated to Colorado with my husband right after our wedding. I worked in Denver for 3 years as a small animal Veterinarian until we had our first son and then chose to stay home to raise him and our two other children.
My family lived in northeastern Westminster for 9 years and moved to Erie over 5 years ago. I have three children in elementary school - Ethan loves robotics, Chloe is getting into gymnastics, and Isaac hasn’t quite figured out what he likes yet! We love living in Colorado - hiking, skiing, camping, fishing - though I “fish” by sitting on the bank reading a book. 🙂
I’ve been working in real estate for almost three years. I love helping find the right home for homebuyers, that “this is it!” look is priceless! And I love helping sellers close the door on one chapter of their lives as they (literally) open the door on the next one. Real estate is challenging, always different, and provides a unique opportunity to share in the lives of the people I work with.
People have asked me if I miss being a Vet, and the answer is not really. Once I left practicing medicine I discovered it wasn't the animals that I missed, it was the people - both the people I worked with and the clients I served. I loved being able to explain medical issues in a way that people could understand, now I get to do the same thing with contracts and real estate transactions. Buying and selling a home can be a very emotional process, just like working with sick animals, and I am glad I can walk with families through both.
My passion is to serve my community and lead with integrity. I love to connect families with the resources they need, from mortgage lenders to handymen. Whether it’s finding a new home to meet their needs, or finding the right person to make their existing home work better for them, I’m happy to help however I can!
Currently serving: Lafayette, Boulder, Longmont, Broomfield, Louisville, Superior, Frederick, Thornton, Dacono, Westminster and surrounding areas with a specialized focus on Erie
