Melinda Splain

Growing up on a small farm in Burnsville, NC, I was fortunate to have a family that taught me a strong work ethic. If you are going to do something–give it 110% and give the task at hand your full attention. I believe in that same philosophy today. I listen to my clients and am committed to finding my clients the property they are searching for. Finding the right home is usually the most important financial decision of a person’s life; and helping my clients find that home is a responsibility I take seriously. My job is to educate my clients on all aspects of purchasing a home and helping reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with a home purchase. My passion for my work was recognized by being named "Rookie of the Year" and receiving the "Client Service Award" during my first two years in real estate.

I have lived in Florida, Washington DC, Maryland, and Charlotte, North Carolina. But no place is as wonderful as the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina. After serving in the United States Navy for four years, my husband and I decided to settle in the Asheville area. I attended nursing school and worked at a local hospital and nursing homes for 12 years before changing careers and becoming a real estate agent. From an early age I’ve been exposed to the residential building industry. My father was a vocational teacher and he and his students built several homes in Yancey County. I always tagged along to help out in the summer. Over the years, my husband and I have even managed to built a few homes together and understand the hard-work and anxiety that comes with building a home.

Tim and I have been married for over 20 years and live in Weaverville. Tim is a captain on the Asheville Police Department where he strives to keep Asheville a safe and wonderful place to live. We have 2 teenage boys that are active in sports and the band program at North Buncombe. I enjoy all the outdoor activities the area offers. I enjoy walking with friends, playing tennis, cheering on my favorite sports teams, reading, and watching "The Suze Orman Show".

I look forward to helping you find your dream home here in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina!

Testimonials from past clients:

Our family recently purchased a home in Asheville with Melinda Splain as our buyer’s agent. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent. Melinda was courteous, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. We greatly appreciated how she made herself completely available to us during the limited time we had for house-hunting since we were moving from New York. It was evident that she was sincerely interested in finding a home that met both our needs and lifestyle. Her market knowledge enabled us to get a fabulous deal on a wonderful home. Melinda Splain was without a doubt the best agent we have ever worked with and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in Asheville.

Melinda's warm southern charm, experience and knowledge of Asheville really won us over. We felt very comfortable with her and trusted that she cared about helping us find the home of our dreams.  Beth Chepke & Tim Cimperman   Thank you Melinda Splain, our Buyer’s Agent, for making the journey fun instead of tense, uncomplicated instead of daunting. And especially for never giving up on us to find that very special place we call home.  Peter Lee and Virginia Martin   We have moved 4 times in the last 10 years and realtors we have dealt with (in various states) talk about service, but Melinda Splain actually deliver it--in spades. When Melinda met us at the home for one last time before making an offer, she had done her homework. Because of her knowledge about comps in the area and home values, she was able to negotiate an extremely good price for us.
