From earning Diamond Award recognition in 2015 and 2016 to claiming the #1 Rental Team title at Douglas Elliman, the team's track record speaks for itself. Today, Melinda and her multilingual associates serve a diverse local and international clientele with the same commitment to excellence that has defined the team from day one.
