Meet Melissa
With over $50 million in sales in under two years, Melissa Jennings has established herself as a Top Producing real estate agent and was ranked in the top 125 agents for the entire state of Texas by sales volume for 2021. She has been recognized by D Magazine for over five consecutive years as a Top Producer and a D Best Real Estate agent as well as a Top Producing agent in the Preston Hollow Advocate multiple times. She quickly gained recognition at her brokerage, Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, and was recently inducted into the elite group of President’s Circle agents.
Her clients rave about her strong negotiating skills, her passion for getting them top dollar, her stellar communication and responsiveness, her invaluable connections and network, and her willingness to always be available and make them feel like her only client. While many top agents hire assistants to handle their transactions and showings, Melissa wants to be involved in every step, and when clients hire her, they get her - not someone who works with her.
Melissa is a lifelong resident of Preston Hollow. After graduating with honors from the Episcopal School of Dallas, she earned her bachelor's degree from Southern Methodist University, where she majored in business and psychology. This blend of academic disciplines served her well when she worked in wealth management with Westwood Holdings Group and Morgan Stanley and during her time in the business office at Parish Episcopal School.
Real estate has been a longtime passion for Melissa. Before becoming licensed, she helped many friends and family members look for homes and the pleasurable experience of doing the same for her parents convinced her to switch careers. Because of her previous positions in the financial field, Melissa never forgets that a home is often a client's biggest investment. At the same time, her psychology background allows her to better understand her clients' needs - and match them with the perfect property.
She has many 5-star reviews from her loyal clients and takes pride in being available for her clients well beyond typical work hours. Her work ethic is second to none and she regularly spends her nights and weekends writing offers and negotiating deals.
