AGENT BIOGRAPHY
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I’m Melissa Mariano, a real estate agent with Align, a Mega Icon Team at eXp Realty, serving the Bradenton, Sarasota, and Lakewood Ranch areas. Before real estate, I spent 18 years living in Hong Kong, which shaped how I connect with people from different backgrounds and navigate big life transitions. I was drawn to real estate because I saw how much guidance and clarity people need when making major decisions—and how much smoother the process can feel with the right person by their side.
I work with buyers and sellers across a range of price points, including relocations, luxury properties, and new construction. My approach is straightforward, responsive, and focused on keeping things moving while protecting my clients’ best interests. I’m known for being hands-on, communicative, and calm under pressure—especially when deals get complicated. Whether it’s navigating a competitive market or working through a challenging transaction, I stay steady and solutions-focused from start to finish.
I live and work in the same communities I serve, which gives me a strong understanding of the local market and lifestyle. Outside of real estate, I spend most of my time with my family and our dog, Dakota, and you’ll often find me at my kids’ sporting events. That balance keeps me grounded and connected to what really matters—helping my clients make confident decisions in a place they’re proud to call home.
