About Melanie McLaird

Born in Thousand Oaks, CA, Melanie McLaird was raised by parents who made the world their home. Moving around from the Philippines to Samoa, Singapore, and Hawai'i immersed Melanie in diverse cultures that helped shape her values - specifically her integrity, work ethic, and passion for evoking passion in others. Melanie holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and has served our country in the U.S. Army and the Air Force. It's this experience that she builds on to meticulously manage each detail of a real estate transaction, understand human psychology, and (as former clients have said) be a "shark of a negotiator." Prior to becoming a REALTOR(R), this self-proclaimed workaholic held a management position spearheading research and development for a marketing company. She caught the buzz of house flipping and quickly realized that she could use her marketing prowess to sell her flips. By speaking directly to her ideal client, Melanie stood out amongst the competition to get her properties sold quickly -- and for the price she desired. Melanie then transitioned to sharing her real estate tactics with others by becoming a licensed REALTOR(R) and quickly became a trusted authority, helping hundreds of families turn their real estate fantasies into realities. Melanie will bear each weighty facet of your transaction and protect you from the hour-by-hour complications. Her experience in the luxury market gives her a high-level understanding of the market, value, negotiations, and contractor oversight. How does this benefit you and your family (and your horses)? If you ask previous buyers and sellers*, they'd tell you Melanie saves her clients money thanks to her resourceful use of comparable data to negotiate lower prices, and she accomplishes tasks in a duration others never thought possible. Most importantly, Melanie creates harmonious transactions and on-time closings - so you can get back to making memories in your home. In between writing comps and negotiating deals, Melanie enjoys double clears with her horse Hemingway. You can find her deepening her community connections while attending charity galas, competing in Three-Day Eventing on the weekend, or hiking in the mountains.

Melanie was outstanding. She is very knowledgeable about the local market, the process.. and well everything! We always felt she had our best interest in mind and was very focused on our successful purchase. She listened carefully and flexed based on our changing requests and needs. She was incredibly responsive and is a terrific communicator. We also could count on her to keep us well informed every step of the process. When problems or challenges arose, she always presented those with a solution already in mind. We really appreciated her fair and honest assessment of properties - she never over sold or tried to gloss over some problem or issue. We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is just terrific and you cannot find a better real estate professional!

Melanie was a pleasure to work with. She made sure to pay attention to details, including things that I would have over looked. She went above and beyond to make sure we found a perfect home that for all of our needs. We will definitely use her again in the future!

I worked with Gabrielle Laub of the Melanie McLaird Group. Gabrielle helped us purchase a new home and sold our old home. I first contacted the McLaird group while relocating to Oklahoma. However, I wasnt able to use them due to the Relo preferred realtor benefits. Gabrielle texted me from time to time to check in with us, (not annoyingly), to see if we were ready to move. After 2-1/2 years we were ready. We found a home, had a few hiccups with the sellers realtor, but quickly overcame them and closed quick. Gabrielle put together an offer that was exclusive WITHOUT offering over the asking price. Our offer was better than other offers that offered 5k over asking price!!!! Phenomenal! We got the house we wanted. Selling our other home was absolutely terrifying for us. We knew the house had issues. Per Gabrielle and Melanies direction we paid for slab and plumbing inspections and got quotes for the repairs for the prospective buyers. Sure, paying for these inspections was not what I wanted, (I didnt want to put another penny into the house), but I could see the benefit in doing the legwork for a buyer. So we did it and it was the right thing to do. We put it up As Is, cash deal. After 2-1/2 weeks of inspections and quotes we put it on the market. 2 days later we had and offer. 9 days later closed and done. I can honestly say moving to Oklahoma and going through the buying process with an average to below average realtor can be traumatic. Having a realtor that is above average to excellent is a very awesome experience. What you get when you go with Melanie McLairds Group is excellence. The bar has been set high by this group. I cant say enough about Gabrielle Laub. Melanie McLaird has an excellent group with excellent people.

Melanie is an absolute asset when it comes to buying or selling. I was so impressed with her knowledge and professionalism when I bought my house years ago that I contacted her first when I decided to sell.

We moved from the Dallas Area to Tulsa. Melanie is extremely responsive, knowledgable, and highly professional. My family and I didn't have a ton of time to follow up with inspectors, etc and she took care of everything with impeccable notes and feedback to us. Thanks, Melanie!!!!
