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!
