About Melody Abella

Melody is a Vice President with TTR Sotheby's International Realty. In 2023 she was ranked as one of the Top 500 Realtors (out of 22K) in Northern Virginia, putting her in the top 2%. She's licensed in Virginia and Washington, DC and a founding Partner of the award-winning team, The Seward Group. In the competitive Washington, DC metro real estate market, Melody is known for being "calm in the midst of the chaos" while fiercely negotiating her clients' behalf and navigating the entire process, from A to Z, with ease and grace. She is passionate about educating buyers and sellers and crafting a winning plan that will work to achieve their real estate goals and financial objectives. Born and raised in Delaware, Melody is a business graduate of University of Delaware and has called Arlington, VA home since 1995. Though she once did marketing for a handful of telecom/tech companies (Nextel, MCI, Network Solutions/VeriSign, Sage), her most rewarding pre-real estate career success is the mobile yoga company she founded in 2006 (abellaYoga.com). Since joining TTR Sotheby's International Realty in 2017, Melody has been running her real estate business exclusively by referral which enables her to focus 100% on her clients - and continue to service them beyond the sales transaction. She is grateful to be consistently recognized as a Washington Top Agent (since 2018) and an Arlington Top Producer (since 2020). Some fun facts about Melody are that she has rappelled down 14-stories in National Landing twice over the last two years, raising over $16K to help combat homelessness in Northern Virginia. She has an awesome rescue GSP/mutt named Kenzie and teaches BeerYoga on Tuesday nights at Port City Brewing. In her free time, she practices yoga, meditates, runs and loves visiting DC's museums and bookstores.

Melody went above and beyond to win the bid on my townhouse in Arlington, including drafting and sending a cover letter with specifics of how perfect the house was for me and my 88 year mother with elevator, ground floor ensuite and community garden across the street. Her knowledge and support was immeasurable.

Melody is a great realtor. She is very kind and responsive. It was immensely helpful to have her knowledge and experience while buying a house in this area for the first time!

Working with Melody Abella as our realtor was an absolute delight. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Melody's expertise, warmth, and dedication were unmatched. Even before the house-buying process she picked my wife up from the airport to look at a rental, which she normally does not do. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, providing invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. Melody's passion for helping people find their dream homes was evident in every interaction, making what could have been a stressful experience feel like an exciting adventure. Her experience as a yoga teacher really comes in handy here! Thanks to her professionalism and advocacy, we found our perfect home. If you're in search of a realtor who truly cares about your needs and goes above and beyond to make your dreams a reality, look no further than Melody. Highly recommended.

Melody helped us to buy our townhome and sell a condo this year. She is the best; a true professional and expert. Melody helped us to navigate a very tight housing market and readily made herself available for early morning showings and late night offer writing. She truly listened to our needs and preferences, stayed calm when we were nervous and frustrated, and answered all of our questions with thoughtful consideration. We could not have asked for a better partner than Melody. She also surrounds herself with other professionals in the industry (home inspectors, loan officers, stagers) that operate with the same level of thoroughness and professionalism that she does, giving us confidence at all stages of the process. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Melody and would refer her without hesitation to anyone else looking to buy or sell in the area.

We chose Melody as our listing agent based on her vast experience in the Northern Virginia real estate market aEUR" especially in our neighborhood of South Arlington. Her initial sales presentation was impressive and comprehensive. She includes services that are over and above those typically found from other agents. Because we were to be moving cross-country and were not present most of the time, Melody basically became the project manager for getting our house ready to sell, including working with contractors and stagers to oversee the myriad activities that are required to bring a house to market. In addition to holding open houses, she regularly checked on the house to ensure it stayed aEUR~showing ready. When it came to pricing and marketing decisions, Melody was extremely easy to work with. She made recommendations while taking into consideration our thoughts and concerns. She was extremely diligent in working with our buyers agent to work through the details of the offers/counteroffers until we finalized the agreement. Were thrilled with the final result and highly recommend her for your next real estate transaction.
