About Melanie

Hi, I'm Melanie Kelly-Ruiz, and I'm excited to help you open the doors to your dream home. For 28 years, I've thrived in retail sales leadership, fostering a deep passion for outstanding customer service. Combine that with my love for all things finance and real estate, and you get someone genuinely thrilled to help you navigate your homeownership journey.

Coming from a service-oriented background, I understand firsthand the importance of prioritizing client satisfaction and ensuring every detail is taken care of. Whether it's guiding you through the intricacies of the mortgage process or adapting to any changes along the way, I approach every interaction with integrity, honesty, and a genuine desire to make your journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.

I can't wait to help bring your homeownership dreams to life! Whether you're ready to apply or have questions that need answers, let's work together to open the doors to your next chapter.

In my free time, I'm with my husband and three kids. We love movie nights, hiking, camping, and finding new places to eat. In my own time, yoga is a must during the day, and I usually find some creative outlet to focus on.

Buying your first home is possible

Are you dreaming of owning your own home, but it feels impossible to get started? Navigating the homebuying process can be overwhelming, but you're more ready than you think!

Homeowners planning renovations for their home

Make any home your dream home

Tired of leaving open houses without finding “the one?” With a renovation loan, you can bring your ideas of the perfect home to life!

Here’s how:

  • Finance the costs of buying and upgrading a home with one loan, so you can purchase an imperfect but good (and probably less expensive) house and add your personal touch.
  • Refinance the cost of home improvements to get the benefits of moving without the packing and unpacking, figuring out new utilities…
    you know the hassle.
