About Melissa Neff
As a lead agent with Atwell Ford Real Estate, Melissa enjoys the hands-on process of helping homebuyers and sellers make major life decisions. As the team’s longtime Listing Prep Specialist, Melissa brings keen insight to the selling process – both what it takes to sell, and what buyers are looking for in their purchase. After helping so many Atwell Ford clients behind the scenes, Melissa realized she was ready to take the lead in working with clients from start to finish! Her attention to detail, eye for quality (& potential!), combine with her relational skills to set her apart in the industry.
Alongside her passion for real estate, Melissa has years of experience in the fitness industry, passionately helping people reach their fitness goals. She has her personal training certification and business as well. Melissa has lived in quite a few places, including Winston-Salem–twice. When she first moved to the city in the mid-2000s, she earned her Masters in Social Work at UNC-Chapel Hill and then served the Winston-Salem community as a social worker for the Forsyth County Department of Social Services. She’s also worked in community building, as a guardian ad litem, and in research and writing in Northern California and Atlanta, where she’s previously lived.
Melissa has three amazing daughters and recently relocated to Ardmore where her girls love to walk to Bagel Station and Thruway. She enjoys doing Crossfit, being outside in the sun by a pool or on a beach, listening to audiobooks, cheering on her girls at their sporting events, and spending time with friends.
