The highs and lows we experience as agents can leave you feeling lost and uncertain of how to reach the next level. I’ve been there, made my share of mistakes, and learned some tough lessons along the way. But through those experiences, I found the path to consistent success in today’s market.
Along the way, I’ve been honored to achieve some incredible milestones, like being named the #1 agent in Tennessee and generating over $2 billion in home sales. But what truly fuels my passion is helping other real estate agents unlock their full potential.
As the Founder of Melissa Thompson and Your Key to Memphis Real Estate Team, I’ve worked hard to create a team that’s not just top-performing but also deeply committed to excellence. I’ve been fortunate to receive recognition for my work, including the Memphis Business Journal’s Best Deal Maker Award in 2024, the Icon Award from eXp Realty (three times!), and Realtor Associate of the Year from the Memphis Area Association of Realtors. I also contribute as a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Tennessee Association of Realtors, and the Memphis Area Association of Realtors Board of Directors.
Giving back to the community is also a huge part of who I am. I serve on the Board of Directors for the Rise Foundation and support initiatives like Agape’s foster care program, the West Cancer Clinic’s Ride to Rosemary, and John Maxwell’s Equip program. Organizations like Hope Works, Youth Villages, and Hope House in Brazil are close to my heart, and I’m proud to contribute to their missions. Through it all, my focus remains on serving my clients, leading my team, and making a meaningful impact in my community.
