Melissa Lynch

Born in the Bay Area, Melissa was raised and grounded in the community life of Morgan Hill. Her home environment was a dynamic intersection of creativity, knowledge and skill, as her father – architect, custom home builder and broker – immersed her in all aspects of real estate from a tender age. She graduated from local schools (UC Santa Cruz and Santa Clara University), and worked as a high school English teacher for 16 years, where and when she wrote bountiful curriculum units for the humanities, all of which are still used by many comprehensive and private high schools throughout Santa Clara County and beyond. In the classroom, Melissa’s primary objective was a heartened focus on human-centeredness and interconnectedness, and this was imparted though the development of literacy and writing skills for understanding. Her pedagogical approach includes relationship building and meaning making, alongside problem-solving, critical thinking, and close reading. The meaningful relationships she cultivated with her students, and the skill set she imparted to them, applies to her clients and her practice in real estate. As a licensed broker, Melissa has the required knowledge, expertise and credentials to process transactions. As a person, Melissa has a heart of service, dedication, and resourcefulness to gently guide her clients through the process. Take your real estate journey with Melissa!
